Topic: Producer gas


  
  Gas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A gas is one of the four main phases of matter (after solid and liquid, and followed by plasma), that subsequently appear as a solid material is subjected to increasingly higher temperatures.
The thermodynamic state of a gas is characterized by its volume, its temperature, which is determined by the average velocity or kinetic energy of the molecules, and its pressure, which is determined by the average velocity and density or number of molecules.
The word "gas" was invented by Jan Baptist van Helmont as a phonetic spelling of the Flemish pronunciation of the Greek word "chaos".

 Gas Engines and Producer Gas Plants
Producer gas had previously been used for heating purposes, in which case it was desirable to keep the temperature of the gas as high as possible before being burned.
When the gas from the blast furnace is not sufficiently cleaned before it goes into the gas engine, the dust collects on the inner surface of the cylinder, and, as the piston moves to and fro, the dust is ground between the piston and cylinder, thus causing excessive heating and perhaps cutting of the surfaces.
The temperature of the gas is also reduced by the water, the amount varying from 60 to 260 degrees F., depending on the temperature of the blast-furnace gas, the temperature of the water, and the efficiency of the cleaner.

 Producer gas hazards
Producer gas, the mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, methane and other gases, is hazardious, if it is not handled and used properly.
Producer gas consists of carbon monoxide, which is extremely toxic and dangerous as it combine with haemoglobin in the blood, preventing oxygen absorption and distribution.
During the gasification of biomass, ashes and condensate (mainly water) are produced.

 A Brief History of the Manufactured Gas Industry in the United States
From the superheater, the carburetted water gas was fed into a sealed wash box where the gas cooled slightly, allowing some the impurities in the form of coal tar (and associated wastes) to condense and settle out.
The gas was also passed through a scrubber, a device that brought the vapor into direct contact with water, thus removing even more impurities from the gas.
After scrubbing, the gas was moved into the relief holder, which served as a reservoir that provided a continuous gas supply to the exhauster.

 Wood gas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wood gas, also known as holzgas, air gas or blue gas, is the product of thermal gasification of biomass or other carbon containing materials such as coal in a gasifier.
Purification of the gas and feeding it into the natural gas pipelines is one variant to link it to existing refuelling infrastructure, liquidification by the Fischer-Tropsch process is the other possibility.
A wood gasifier takes wood chips, sawdust, charcoal, coal, rubber or similar materials as fuel and burns these incompletely in a fire box, producing solid ashes and soot (which have to be removed periodically from the gasifier and constantly from the gas) and wood gas.

 Producer gas conditioning
Producer gas leaves the gasifier as the mixture of combustible and non-cobustible gases alongwith tar vapour, water vapour, dust, mineral vapour.
The removal of tar from gas producer is one of the more difficult problmes in gas cleaning.
Gas cleaning and cooling for gasifier system is accomplished by a cyclone, a gas cooler with some scrubbing action and a packed bed filter.

 Intute sciences - Chemical Sciences: Inorganic Industrial Chemistry: Wood, Coal, and Domestic Gas
Gas lighting at this time was by flame; the present incandescent gas mantle was not developed until 1885, at which time incandescent electric lighting was taking over an increasing share of the lighting market.
Since the heat available per volume of natural gas is much greater than the heat obtained per volume of manufactured gas or "town gas", the burners and equipment must be converted when the supply is changed (as in Britain in the 1970's when town gas was replaced by natural gas from the North Sea).
The final composition of producer gas is about 12% hydrogen, 25% carbon monoxide, 7% carbon dioxide, and 56% nitrogen; the nitrogen comes from the air used in the producer gas reaction.

 2.1 Fuelling of engines by producer gas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Producer gas, the gas generated when wood, charcoal or coal is gasified with air, consists of some 40 per cent combustible gases, mainly carbon monoxide, hydrogen and some methane.
In mixing the producer gas with combustion air there is an additional reason for power loss because of changes in the composition of the gas, as well as of variations in pressure drop over the gasifier installation and it is very difficult to maintain continuously a stoichiometric mixture of producer gas and air.
Gas turbines are very sensitive to dust, especially at high inlet temperatures, and it is doubtful if gas quality requirements can be met with the filtering systems described in section 2.6.

 How To Run Your Own Car On Wood   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Producer gas (also called town gas, coal gas and power gas) is nothing new or mysterious.
Producer gas is made by sucking a limited amount of air through a bed of red-hot carboniferous fuel (wood, charcoal, low-temperature coke, straw, peat, etc.) in a closed furnace called a generator.
Before you can pipe producer gas from the generator into your auto's engine, the fuel needs to be cleaned of any solid particles, ash, soot or tar.

 Producer gas and engine oil
As our engines are so derated on clean gas and can never be overloaded, overheating of the oil can only come from lack of cooling or combustion temperatures.
It is caused by the gas temperature exceeding 500 degrees C and it reverts back into CO2 and soot.
It is vital to quench the temperature before you pipe it or squeeze it through filters and cyclones etc. This was a problem of our early gasifiers which disappeared after we increased the gas outlet size to overcome the heat stress on the connection.
