<p>An improved gasifier (40) adapted for gasifying a predetermined charge (56, 56a) of non-gaseous fuel into fuel gas (26). Each charge of non-gaseous fuel, which may have optional conditioning materials (46, 48, 70) added to it, is intermittently fed to a gasifier chamber (42, 42a) where each charge is partially burned with high-pressure air (18) supplied thereto. High-pressure and temperature fuel gas (26) is produced which is cleansed prior to passing out of the gasifier chamber (42, 42a). After gasification of the charge (56, 56a) of fuel is ended, the gasifier chamber (42, 42a) is vented. The residue of the burned charge in the gasifier chamber (42, 42a) is removed, along with the contaminated or reacted conditioning materials, and replaced by a fresh charge. The subject invention provides a feasible way of continuously fueling an internal combustion engine (12) with gasified fuel and is compact enough to be practical for even mobile applications.</p> |
