Hello Robert. Some years ago I websited a simple spreadsheet calculator which I think could be of help for your task. You can find it on this address: www.fluidynenz.250x.com. Once you get there, please find, on the left column of that page, the title: " New engine tables". From that site you can freely download my calculator. Should you need further help on this issue, please feel free to contact me any time.
Kindest regards. Oscar. -----Mensaje original----- De: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] En nombre de Robert Kana Enviado el: Saturday, January 07, 2012 6:49 AM Para: [email protected] Asunto: Re: [Gasification] Calculations for a new gasifier Wishing everybody healthy, happy and successful new year, We are planning to built a gasifier, for a Mitsubishi 8DC9 engine. This 310 Hp engine, 1500 rpm at 50 Hz, has displacement 16031, 8 cyl with cylinder diameters 135, length 153.1. This unit will be operating 24 hrs a day as a main power source. Fuel will be sawdust briquettes ( 1.1 ton m3 density), broken charcoal pieces and wood chips. This fuel will be mixed in equal parts. Gasifier is a grate-less design, continuous feed down draft. Original design has a gas cooler heat exchanger after cyclone, water cooler and tar condenser, palm oil washer, charcoal drum filters and a bag filter. We need some help calculating the amount of fuel needed to generate enough power for 160 Kwe every hour. Suggestions are welcomed. We also need some help converting the engine to work with the wood gas. We know there are so many knowledgeable people on this list, I am sure we can use many valuable advices from you. This unit will power our new smaller scale saw dust waste charcoal factory, where electricity is very expensive and we have no choice to go this direction. After building some smaller units, which are still operating for thermal energy, this new project will give us much more experience we need. Your suggestions and comments are welcomed, thank you all in advance.
