Combustion of a richer-than-stoichiometric carbonaceous fuel mixture with air, yields a hot gas. Its heat drives an endothermic reaction, taking place between superheated steam and more fuel. The heat is transferred from the rich combustion process to the superheated steam and fuel, by radiative transfer, which may be direct or indirect. The hot gas flows as a hot core; the superheated steam/fuel mixture surrounds it in counterflow. Fuel gas is generated by the resulting reactions. In addition to this method, the gasifier to carry it out, is also claimed. <IMAGE> |
