Process for manufacturing carburetted water gas

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7009880

This patent describes a process of manufacturing water gas in an apparatus including a generator having a bed of solid fuel and a superposed carburetting chamber. The process consists in separately and successively passing air blasts and steam in opposite directions through fuel bed, admitting heavy oil into the carburetting chamber of said generator coincidentally with the steam runs to enrich the made gas, and conducting said gas to said collecting medium. The major portion of the reverse air blast is passed downwardly through the upper portion of the fuel bed and thence withdrawn circumferentially from the generator at a point below the top of said fuel bed. This results in the carbonaceous deposits on the fuel bed resulting from the admission of said heavy oil to be consumed.
