Abstract

A 1.0 Gj/hr cord wood gasifier-combustor was designed and tested. Two-staged combustion of cord wood up to a diameter of 15.2 cm was achieved with a net energy efficiency of 70 to 80%. Modulation of the system output was demonstrated. The major problem encountered was loading wood into the hot gasifier on a continuous basis. ref.
