[Gasification] water injection of producer gas fired ic engines

[gasman]

Regards, Peter and All!

Water injection can assist burning CO which does INCREASE
the percentual amount of CO2 in the exhaust, not decreasing it!
So no worries with the Källe charcoal gasifier being left
without enough CO2.

Water should be NEBULIZED, not evaporated!
Water in gas-form = steam takes 1690 times the volume
at atmospheric pressure, compared to "compact" (fluid)
water...
Additionally, the binding of evaporation (boiling) heat
is lost in the cylinder, if the water comes in as
vapour (steam), instead of a mist !

Nebulization = making (Nebel = mist in Ger..)
