Design and Fabrication of Compact Size Fluidized Bed Gasifier for Automotive Vehicle

In this paper design and fabrication of compact fluidized bed gasifier with increased gas ? solid interaction is proposed for automotive vehicle. The aim of the design is generate a nitrogen (N2) free product gas with low tars and fines content. Firstly a compact size gasifier with fluidized bed is designed and after that it fabricated. Design was done with the help of CATIA design/modeling software .Different particles and different size of particles was analyzed for fluidized bed. By simple geometrical modifications it is possible to achieve well mixed flow condition in the fuel/gasification reactor along the full height. The gas velocity and the geometrical properties in the fuel/gasification reactor are chosen in such a way that solid’s entrainment of coarse particles in the upper part of the fuels is low at the top. Experimental results showed that achieved low ignition time as compare to packed bed gasifier.
