The car on the wood with the possibility of control over the work of the gas generator

This article is about connecting the sensors to the car, using as fuel wood. All taking place in the gasifier processes can be observed on the screen is the size of the tablet.


In the furnace you can lay like firewood and garbage: the rag rag and even plastic. Thus, we achieve savings of wood (to 50%), cleaning of roadside strips of garbage that will be collected and used as fuel. In addition, the engine power is increased by 10%.

On the screen online, you can see some very useful indicators.

1. The composition of the useful gas.

The composition of the produced gas in the furnace depends on the type of fuel thrown in there. As fuel you can use various debris: old tires, plastic bottles, bags, cups, pieces of hard plastic (burst disks, pieces of the bumper). The opportunity to see the electronic scoreboard, increase or decrease in engine speed, and changing the composition of the useful gas in real time.

Among the useful gases (real numbers):

С2Н4 — ethylene 1%;

CH4 — methane, 4%;

CO — carbon monoxide (carbon monoxide) 16%;

H2 — hydrogen 12%.

1.1 the composition of the gas useless.

Along with the useful gases in the engine are formed as useless or ballast gases (real numbers):

N2 — nitrogen 50%;

CO2 — carbon dioxide 5%.

The composition of the ballast gases and unreacted O2 – this is important information, allowing to estimate the correct Assembly of the gas generator and processes occurring therein. For example, in contact with wet fuel temperature in firebox instantly decreases (and the variability should not differ significantly from 1100). You can also see the reaction of the generator in non-standard types of fuel: wood or plastic debris, chipboard.

2. Fuel consumption.

The amount of fuel consumption depends on a number of factors: moisture content, wood density or wood waste. In the Soviet times was experimentally determined the optimal value of moisture content of wood fuel: from 11% to 22%. If the humidity is less than 11%, there will be a burnout of the firebox, if the humidity is greater than 22% — will be the fuel consumption, the formation of large quantities of wood, formic, acetic acids, which rasheedat iron hopper with fuel. When calculating the exact figures of fuel consumption while increasing its moisture content from 22% to 45%. Fuel consumption is increased from 1 kg to 2.6 kg of firewood per 1 kW.

The types of wood fuel (non-plastic and other litter): husk sunflower seeds, peat, nut shells, hay, corn rods, nut shells, spent coffee after coffee, brown coal, stone and charcoal.

3. The temperature of the gas.

The higher the temperature of the gas, the smaller its volume will be filled in the cylinders of the engine (hot gas is more rarefied). Experimental measurements showed a power drop of 25% with increasing the gas temperature from 20 to 75 degrees.

4. The humidity in the inlet gas to the engine.

If an incorrect calculation of the gas generator, or improperly made filters, the carburetor filled with water with resins, the car will not start, or stalls. 1 cubic meter wood gas upstream of the filter is 120 g of water in vapor form, this indicator should be monitored online if thrown in the furnace with different fuel.

5. Temperature.

Need to monitor the temperature in the bunker with wood, and the firebox, where wood burning and recovering the gas. Incineration of plastic waste there is a need to maintain a high temperature, otherwise avoid the allocation of large amounts of toxic substances into the air and soil. The gasifier is able to burn even the plastic that contains chlorine, the burning of which at the temperature of ordinary fire leads to the formation of dioxin (a terrible poison, collapsing at 1250 degrees Celsius not less than Sanchez for 2 seconds). If we see on the screen in the combustion zone the temperature 1250 degrees, can be thrown into the furnace of plastic, if no plastic bottles (no chlorine). At this stage, on the screen it is desirable to have the following data:



The image of the bunker marked with temperatures in the hopper of the gas generator, which mean respectively:

100 – the zone of drying fuel;

400 – the zone of carbonization and dry distillation of the fuel;

900 – a zone of dry distillation;

1200 – zone combustion or oxidation;

1000 recovery zone.

What is happening in these zones thermochemical process consists in converting solid fuels into combustible gas, which can inflate the cylinders. 400 numbers and arrows show the temperature entering and exiting from the gasifier gas and air. The hopper on the screen filled with black, showing the degree of fullness of the fuel. In the future it would be nice to create an Android application that removes the data through the wireless Bluetooth, useful for those who have a car no place for the screen.published
