Crispin,
No. It is not agreed. YOU need to provide info that discusses the
issue, not just telling us to go contact somebody and then use phrases
like "...in use (as I understand it) in the UK for a long time before
that..." To say "(as I understand it)" is not very convincing.
I would be happy to accept that COAL units the might have been
substantially larger (I do not know) could have been lit at the top.
Just present evidence. We are not here to spend our time to prove you
are wrong. You need to prove that you are correct. You can contact
the Turkey folks and request sufficiently technical drawings and
descriptions. We await the results of your investigations.
But as far as I KNOW, John Davies in South Africa was the first to
utilize the Reed-style IDD (Inverted DownDraft that became TLUD in
2004-05) gasification with COAL.

Dear Everyone
Is it then agreed that the term TLUD was used from about the early '90's,
and that in the modern era, TLUD stoves burning solid fuels, top-lit updraft
style, working with a descending pyrolysis front, utilising preheated (or
not) secondary air were available commercially from the late 50's?
If there is still any doubt I encourage you to contact:
Hasan HASKARAMAN
SILVER GROUP OF COMPANIES TURKEY
www.silver.com.tr
Factory +90 352 241 01 90
They build inverted (updraft) versions of the previously successful
downdraft coal gasifiers in use (as I understand it) in the UK for a long
time before that, with significant power controllability. Haskaraman Senior
is still alive so perhaps he will tell us more about possible Russian stoves
that worked that way (there was technical contact which may have inspired
him).

Doc,
I read most of that GIZ report shared by Kubos.
It was useful for me in terms of info about the genesis of gasifiers during
World War II and other challenges they faced for domestic experimentations.
I read up to chapter 8.
Important warnings for ABE and other TLUD projects however i could not find
the term TLUD.
Nol.
