[Gasification] another aproach to producing a clean gas

[gasman]

 Greetings, Tom and All!





The annual Woodgas Jamboree at the Mobilia Road and Vehicle Museum

this year, did not bring many contenders, probably because there are 
many more exhibition occasions around the country during the summer.



The short list comprises:



-    A Bedford truck with the gasifier, cyclone, cooler and filter

arranged at the tail-end of the loading-plane, and reheating

at the exhaust manifold, followed by a triple paper-filter

(parallel in one container) behind the 6-cylinder engine under

the cabin tail end, before going to the mixer.

Using birch blocks as fuel.



-    A Saviem truck with a crew-cabin and the traditional system

gasgenerator, cyclone, cooler and filter just behind the cabin,

with no reheating, or paper-filter.



-    One Jeep Cherokee with the system arranged on an

    "integrated" trailer, meaning that the two parallel

    horizontal glasfibre filter "tubes" are part of the trailer's

        undercarriage. The system comprises an Imbert-style generator

        with a condensing gutter in the silo, primary air heat 
exchanger

        built as three cylindrical double-sheets around the hearth 
wall.

        Then a cooler in front of the generator, condense tank,

        reheating and paper filter, from where the gas is delivered to

        the transportation tube under the car, to the mixer.

        A change-over mechanism for smooth choice of gasoline or

        woodgas in any ratio from the dashboard during driving from

        a separate carburettor and mixer. Ignition adjustment from the

        dashboard.





    -   Four passenger cars:

        A Continental with a last year built peat fuelled generator,

        A Volvo having the system hanging on the tail.

        One BMW with the system built in the trunk,

        And a SAAB with an Imbert, glasfibre filter,

        water-glycol cooler,

        reheating and paper filter, all arranged on a trailer.

That is all.
