Gasifier Experimenters Kit

Gasifier Experimenters KitWhat's Next:I'm interested in using this excess heatexchange capacity to support the addition ofwater/steam, and/or IC exhaust to theincoming air. To the degree we can add h20or co2 to the incoming air (while maintainingacceptable temps to consume tars in thecombustion zone) our gas quality will go up,while our biomass fuel consumption will godown. Gas will come out slightly cooler too.Thus starting with the v1.0 GEK, I increasedthe SS lines from 4' to 6'-- even though the 4'length as tested seemed to already produce themax incoming air temps one could expectacross a small gas-to-gas heat exchanger. Thev2.0 run will similarly have 6' heat exchangelines, along with an improved spiralconfiguration at the bottom of the reactor.http://www.allpowerlabs.org/gasification/gek/gekreports/report3/report3.html (10 of 10) [10/9/2008 08:04:38]
