OSTI ID:6742026

This patent describes a gas producer which utilizes a branched conduit on the outside of the producer for passing the tarry gases from the distillation zone downwardly to the producer fuel bed, a combustion chamber for the tarry gases, and a branch pipe from said conduit connected with the combustion chamber for the tarry gases. The said combustion chamber has at least one inlet for an oxygen containing gas and a connecting passage between said combustion chamber and the generator fuel bed above the grate of the producer. It also has an inlet in said passageway for the introduction of the second branched pipe from the distillation zone so situated that the tarry gases from the second branch are heated by being mixed with the hot gases from the combustion chamber before entering said producer.
