Process of and apparatus for manufacturing gas

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7207205
This patent describes a process of generating gas by heating a body of carbonaceous fuel and continuously forcing superheated steam into it. This results in heating it to the decomposing temperature and causing decomposition of the steam into hydrogen and carbonic oxide. The process continues by conducting the gases into a fixing chamber and enriching or carbureting them with hydrocarbon oil, and finally converting the carburetted gases into a fixed gas by passing them through heated refractory material in the fixing chamber.
