Heinrich Lambion

Heinrich Lambion (born July 18, 1855 in Dortmund , † July 15, 1936 in Niederwalluf ) was a German inventor and entrepreneur.

As the son of a rolling master, he took up the profession of engineer and steam boiler builder . In 1885 he went to Russia and became a partner in a larger Russian steam boiler factory (Altvater & Sohn) that built large-capacity water boilers for power stations. When he returned to Germany in 1905, he founded a design office in Kripp am Rhein. There he sold steam boiler systems.

In 1906 Heinrich Lambion invented the mechanically fed chip furnace. This technology makes it possible to automatically and evenly feed the fuel to the furnace. This creates a continuous mixture of fuel and air in the furnace, which ensures that the combustion process and the fuel are optimally used. As a result, the firing efficiency (firing efficiency ) increases many times over compared to manual loading. This process is still used today in all biomass heating plants and power plants with combustion technology.

Finally, in 1917, he and his son Alfred Lambion (* 1890 in Zeitz, † 1958 in Korbach) founded the A. Lambion machine factory in Bad Arolsen . In addition to the construction of steam boilers, the company devoted itself to furnace construction. Special boilers for the incineration of wood waste and low-pressure steam boilers were designed especially for the needs of the wood industry.

In the 1930s, the idea arose to use the invention to “generate energy from leftover biogenic residues”. The energy generation from biogenic residues worked and Lambion developed into one of the most established manufacturers of combustion and charging systems.
