[Gasification] another aproach to producing a clean gas

To Jim Mason

Sorry!
Trying a third time to count to two or three...

>> There are two fundamental factors, that make the
>> idea of "storing" woodgas on a vehicle unrealistic:
>>
>> 1. CO will "fall apart" (more complicated?) when compressed:
>>     2CO ==> CO2 + C (as soot).   (Corrected 5.6.2006)
>>
>> 2. As the heating value of woodgas is low, the amounts
>>    for a reasonable using time are huge; the motor supposed
>>    to go idle, will have a heavy job in driving a compressor
>>    "for almost nothing"... back! But of course the draft in the
>>    gasgenerator will be kept up.
>>
>> Energy-vice it would be easier to use an electric ventilator
>> to supply a torch, or some useful heating.
>>
>> Still, these are only handling the symptoms, and covering up
>> the real reasons!
>>
>> During the WWII a turn down ratio of 18:1 was achieved
>> just by taking care of good insulation, so there is a lesson
>> to take after!
>>
>> Now, a natural addition is to take care of good heat-exchange
>> from the ready made raw-gas to the primary air.
>> Another prominent factor is to dry out both physical and
>> the greater part of the "chemical water" from the fuel, before
>> it reaches the hearth.
>>
>> That makes a better starting point for making good  gas, even
>> with increased turn down ratios.
>>
>> On my way today 4.6.2006 to the yearly woodgas jamboree...
