<p>A gasification auger with a hopper reservoir (1) that feeds a variety of undried, friable materials to an auger (2) powered by a motor (3). Along the auger (2) there is a section where the helix is interrupted by a series of blades (5). Surrounding the output end of the auger tube (4) is a cylindrical combustion chamber (10,11), which generates heat to gasify the raw material whilst it is completely contained within the auger tube (4). The combustion chamber (10,11) has air direction tubes, between the inner combustion chamber (11) and the outer combustion chamber (10). Air and fuel is introduced to the combustion chamber (10,11) and the resulting heated gas is then extracted and can be used to run a variety of engines or equipment before being directed to a heating chamber (7) which may form part of an integral heat exchanger. The auger tube (4) is provided with apertures for the removal of gases (9), which can be fed to a burner (12) in the combustion chamber. Another aperture (6) allows for the extraction of steam from damp material. <IMAGE></p> |
