Micro Class Wood Gasifier

The Micro Class Gasifier has been built to provide a research tool for Fluidyne to test sample amounts of fuel for high performance engine gasifiers. As shown, it has a small fuel stack holding 1kg which can be changed for larger capacity.

Fitted with gas cooling and dust separation components, the system has a maximum gas output of about 12 cubic metres/hr. This is of course dependent on the fuel type and specific air nozzle, throat and grate sizes. Shown in the photograph is a test flame from which colour and temperature are monitored providing indication of gas quality. Clean tar free gas has a temperature of about 1,050 degrees C.
