I need to understand how to connect this to the diesel engine. That of fuel generator is more understandable.

@markwerner8089 4 күн бұрын

The same way I did here. The only exceptions are: If the diesel does not have spark ignition (most don't), you would need to start a run the engine with some diesel. Once started, the diesel can be backed off until the engine begins to falter, then ad some back until smooth. If it does have spark ignition, you can start with diesel, then when running, you can most likely shut the diesel off.

This is a gasoline engine adapted for natural gas, and further adapted for syngas by me. You can't run diesel in this engine. If you mean 'can you do this with a diesel generator', then yes, with exceptions. If your diesel motor has spark ignition, then yes, you can run it just like mine here. If it does not, then you must start it with diesel and gently back off the diesel until rough, feathering the diesel until smooth. This will be a diesel/syngas mixture.

I have a 50KVA generator. It is a diesel Ford engine as good as new. I am in a rural rain forest of Africa, technically the grid does not exist. Can I apply this gasification technique on my generator? I ask due to the fact that my engine is a diesel and not a gas type. Thanks

@markwerner8089 Жыл бұрын

If your ford diesel has spark ignition, you can use pure gasifier gas. If not, you will have to combine the two. It will still take some diesel to get the cylinder to fire under compression and you can add gas from a gasifier to reduce your diesel requirements. I would add gasifier gas to the intake with air mixture, then reduce the amount diesel to the injectors until it runs rough, then add a little diesel back in until it runs smooth again.

@@beeqool Think of this setup as a mini power plant. The major downside is that, like the power companies, the power plant must be constantly manned to run efficiently. It's not just a flip a switch and walk away operation. Someone must be there to constantly monitor the operation, including preparing the wood chunks for the next batch to put in the hopper. The wood has to be split and chunked to the proper size, then dried, then added to the hopper about every four hours. If you use it along with batteries that charge during the day, you'll run the gasifier for about 12hours a day. That's 3 fills of the hopper and the prep of the wood for each load. That's a full time job.

For all the people commenting "where can I get one" or something along the lines of "revolutionary ". I would encourage you to check out the history of wood gas.

They tend to pop back up during fuel shortages and are a great idea but you will either need a Fabricator to make one for you or be capable of building one. During the second Word war all of the taxis in Paris were required to run on woodgas due to fuel shortages. There was even a tank capable of running on wood gas I believe.

A 45 kw generator head is a 45 kw generator head. If the engine driving it is sized correctly, the head will deliver full power, regardless of the fuel. People derate a gasoline powered generator when it's converted to run propane or natural gas, because the specific energy is lower for the propane or natural gas. 45 KW is about 60 HP, and that Ford most likely can easily deliver more than 60, even on wood gas.

Yes, you can store the gas. It's recommended that you store it in a bladder that you can put weight on top to create pressure. Otherwise you would need a tank that can hold pressure. You can use an air compressor to fill propane tanks. As far as building one, this one is expensive. You can build a less expensive one using the plans from www.woodgasifierplans.com Although it will not look like mine, it was developed by the same people that made mine, and they make things that truly work. Buy the plan book and build it yourself for a fraction of the cost.
