This paper discusses a process of manufacturing carburetted water gas which consists of an a single generator having a bed of solid fuel, a single carburetor, a single superheater, a regenerator containing a body of refractory and heat-accumulative material, and a gas offtake seal. The process involves air blasting the generator fuel bed, conducting the resultant gas through the carburetor and superheater, and burning it to heat the same. The gas is subsequently passed back through the superheater and carburetor and then downward through the generator fuel bed; conducting the hot backrun water gas produced through the regenerator to heat the same and cool said gas. Backrun gas is then passed through the gas offtake seal at intervals subsequent to the air-blasting and backsteaming period while passing steam through said heated regenerator, conducting resultant uprun water gas through the heated carburetor and superheater and carbureting it during its passage through said carburetor and superheater by introducing oil. The device will continuously be removing ash from said fuel bed at a rate corresponding to the rate at which ash is formed by the action of the air and steam upon said fuel bed.
