A char-gasifier has charcoal as its initial raw fuel.
And the resultant gases (called char-gas to distinguish it from woodgas)
are primarily CO and H2 and some methane. Very clean, without the tars
of pyrolytic gases.
Disadvantage (historically) is that much energy in the wood (perhap 60
to 70%) was simply wasted or worse, became polluting smoke.
But when the wood (biomass) can be pyrolyzed and the pyrolytic gases can
be meaningfully used (as in TLUD stoves), now the char was made in
environmentally favorable condition, without the wasted heat.

Dear Paul,
what is a char gasifier? Does it produce water gas (CO + H2)?

John,
The Kalle gasifier is a char-gasifier.
Have you worked with char as fuel before in gasifiers?
And where are you located (and send more info about yourself and
interests.)
And who else besides myself, Gary Gilmore and Ken Boak have active
interests in char-gasifiers for CHP?

Greetings to everyone and Happy New Year,
I also was saddened to see the lack of activity on this forum,
but I am glad to see that there is indeed continuing
interest. I am in the process of building a Kalle gasifier to
supply a 3 cyclinder Yanmar diesel engine, hoping to use
sensors and microprocessors to improve efficiency and
reliability. Does anyone know of any existing original Kalle
gasifiers anywhere in the world? Any ideas and advice is welcome.
