Process for manufacture of industrial and power gases
This patent is an intermittent process for the manufacture of water gas in a generator by blasting fuel in a reaction zone to incandescence by means of a blast of air passing in an up direction through a grate and an ash bed hot from a previous operation, and by passing the hot blast gases leaving the top of said reaction zone to a regenerator to heat the same. The process continues by then initiating the gas-making cycle by passing steam through the heated regenerator and thence downwardly through the reaction zone to produce water gas. It continues by passing the water gas from said reaction zone downwardly into the ash bed and removing said water gas through an outlet in the generator wall, store therein a large part of the sensible heat of the water gas passing therethrough, and utilizing the thus extracted heat from the water gas to preheat gases led to said generator through said ash bed in a succeeding up run.
