2.5 Design of downdraught gasifiers

There are other means of handling the tar problem but these may create their own problems. Fox example, use of charcoal as fuel involves a loss of energy and increases the risk of depletion of wood resources. Use of cleaning systems after the gasifier involves difficult waste disposal problems. Down-draught gasifiers being comparatively easy to build and operate, are likely to be the most appropriate for developing countries as a source of decentralized power supply to rural communities and industries. The conversion of solid fuel to gas in a down-draught gasifier and the design basis for such gasifiers will therefore be examined in more detail. 2.5.1 Processes occurring in the down-draught gasifier Bg = 2.5 Bs.

Ianto Evans, Leslie Jackson, Ernie Wisner, Kirk Mobert, Paul Wheaton, and other friends are among the researchers developing efficient, clean-burning, affordable stoves for a variety of heating and cooking needs.

This group developed and published the current editions of Rocket Mass Heater, or Rocket Masonry Stove, designs. The technology combines an innovative clean-burning combustion chamber, with an earthen masonry thermal mass, resulting in extraordinary heat capture and low waste from an incredibly small amount of wood. The goals of Rocket Stove researchers include - meet human needs for food, warmth, comfort, and safety - conserve fuel (over-harvesting of firewood affects droughts, famine, and climate), - clean air, reduce smoke-related health and environmental problems - turn wastes into resources, e.g. find new uses for junk & scrap - encourage resourceful thinking and hands-on problem solving - offer affordable, clean alternatives to conventional technologies.

Build a rocket stove for home heating. Author’s note, 2015-02-14: Based on the interest I’ve received in this project, I’m considering selling plans for a stove similar to the one described in this article.

See the Rocket Stove Plans section at the end of the article and let me know if you’d be interested. Original article: For some time I’ve been considering the best way to deal with a pile of scrap wood that has been growing next to my home, the result of many woodworking and carpentry projects I’ve been involved in over the years. A few options I have considered are: taking it to the landfillcutting it into chips and using it as mulchburning it From a climate change standpoint, the latter of these is surprisingly the least harmful in the long run. Burning also has a side benefit. Ads by Google Warnings Fire is dangerous. 0.
