Dieterle, E A

A process of making mixed water gas and coal gas, which consists in providing a hot bed of solid carbonaceous fuel by intermittently blasting with air, causing steam to intermittently pass upwardly through hot carbonaceous fuel, is discussed. The process involves intermittently introducing powdered carbonaceous material above the hot fuel by causing the powdered material to pass downwardly through a vertically disposed retort located above the fuel and heated externally by the rising hot generated gases to effect distillation of the powdered material. By intersecting the gas before it encounters the hot fuel and the generated blue water gas, the resultant gases and entrained vapors are further fixed by passing the same gas through vertically arranged elongated heated passages disposed above the carbonaceous fuel bed and about said retort.
