The car on the wood: consumption, mileage, running, filtration, octane gas, the impact on the engine

After writing the first article received questions from habrosoobschestva which I then answer + add on a lot of interesting. Let's start.

1. How many kg of wood needed to run 100km





The car Lada - "four" displacement 1.5L, 76 hp, cylinder filling ratio 0.75.
Consumes 100 km about 10 liters of gasoline (old cars) and 20 kg of wood per hour if you drive at a speed of 100km per hour continuously. If you drive at a slower speed and less than 3000 rpm - lower consumption.



The car Volga GAZ 24 - "chlenovoz" Displacement 2.4 liters, 105 horsepower, cylinder filling ratio 0.83.
Consumes 100 km about 13-15 liters of gasoline (old cars) and 36 kg of wood per hour if you drive at a speed of 100km per hour continuously and engine revolutions 3000.



ZIL with an engine 6, 0n, 150 horsepower, cylinder filling ratio 0, 95.
Consumes 100 km 36 liters of fuel and 103 kg of wood per hour at 3000 revs



OKA car with an engine capacity of 0.75l, 35 horsepower
It consumes 4.3 liters per 100 km, and 10 kg of wood per hour at 3000 revs
cylinder filling ratio is not found, I thought to 0.75

Now that we know the wood consumption, we can easily calculate the size of the hopper for loading firewood.
1 kg of wood chopped into pieces 5x5cm has a filling factor of 0.5, and occupies a volume of bunker 5 liters
more finely chopped fuel - such chips is filling ratio of 0.35 and takes hopper volume 1 kg to 30% smaller - 3, 5 liters. The figures are valid for pine, if you apply the best fuel: beech, hornbeam, oak, birch - filling hopper is even better and the same amount will more than kg, which means a longer run, and when to add more plastic garbage - even more mileage and consumption less firewood.
For example, on 1 meshek wood (pine - the weight of the bag 13 kg) loaded firewood GAZ 24 can safely throw 120 plastic bottles of 2 liters (6 kg weight of one bottle of 50 grams). That will allow us to reduce 46% of wood consumption by replacing plastic waste wood.
13 - 100%
6 - x
6x100 / 13 = 46.15%

What size tank do?
Multiplying 1 kg per 5 liters, we obtain the required amount of the bunker. How much do you want to go to the next loading of fuel: one hour, two, three?
Some make the volume of the bunker on the 500km run as Wes and his disciple.





How long does it take to start? B>
The gasifier charcoal - 10-30 seconds
The gas generator on the wood (and garbage) - 5-15 minutes. This is done in the right way on the fly by switching button fuels. Stand kachegarit and blow not necessary.

So how much more gasoline as wood gas? B>
Any fuel valuable two elements: carbon and hydrogen H2 is burning in a unit time and volume calorific value that we get our car and driven.

The calorific value of the gasoline 10572 kcal / kg
The calorific value of the gas timber 1000 kcal / kg - (figure ranges up to 1250 kcal / kg)

It would be 10 times! How is it still rides on the wood? But no, forget about what fuel should become a gas-air mixture and benzovozdushnoy. Combustion in the cylinders also need oxygen. The mixture should come mixed.

Calorific benzovozdushnoy mixture of 860 kcal / kg
The calorific value of the gas mixture (wood gas) 560 kcal / kg - or 64% of benzovodushnoy.

The figure of 64% to 36% less benzovozdushnoy. But by improvements and connect modern devices, this figure is reduced down to 0.
At what cost is not expensive and is not difficult. Even during the Soviet era this figure was adjusted to 4% loss of power of the petrol engine.

What is the octane number at the gas timber and how it affects the operation of the life of the engine? B>
In gasification gas octane 110-120 which positively affects the life of the engine reducing the detonation, the gas does not wash away the oil film, the engine is quieter, smoother. That here described in detail for those who want to delve.

Of course if you do not correct gazgen, and 1m3 of gas contained 3g of dust and did not know how to filter it (do not properly filter), all this goes to the engine and will act like sandpaper on the pistons, but if you do everything right any dust or resins does not fall into the engine and its service life will be longer than specified in the passport calculated for gasoline.

How often unload the ash? B>
With 1 kg of firewood passed through the gasifier 1d ash stands. How many kilograms you will burn per hour and count how many grams of ash accumulated in an hour a day, a month of operation at your daily run.

How often should I change the filter? B>
Previously scored in the filter of wood wool, sawdust and other. Today bezsmennye filter made - no need to change anything.

How to profitably ride on the wood? B>
How much is 1 liter of gasoline?
1 liter of gasoline = 2-3 kg of wood (depending on the humidity, density and so forth.).
