DEVICE FOR THE CONVERSION OF A FUEL

摘要

The invention relates to a device for the conversion of a fuel comprising solid components, referred to as solid fuel, into a gaseous fuel. Said device comprises a zone (2) for pyrolysis of the solid fuel comprising pyrolysis means that make it possible to decompose said solid fuel into a pyrolysis gas and into a solid pyrolysis residue, referred to as coke, a zone (3) for combustion of said pyrolysis gas, different from the pyrolysis zone (2), comprising combustion means (31, 32, 33). The device also comprises means for circulating the pyrolysis gas from said pyrolysis zone (2) to the combustion zone (3). According to the invention, said combustion zone (3) is surrounded by said pyrolysis zone (2).
