<p>A reactor for gasifying a solid fuel, comprising a chamber (15, 20) having a generally vertically extending axis, an inlet (14) for the solid fuel in the upper part of the chamber, inlet nozzles (76) for introducing air into the chamber, a grate (21) in the lower part of the chamber, an ash outlet (35) below the grate and a plurality of circumferentially spaced compartments (40, 50, 60) each opening at their lower end (42, 52, 62) into said chamber in the lower part thereof, and each having a discharge aperture (43, 53, 63) at the upper end of significantly smaller cross-sectional area than the opening (42, 52, 62) whereby solid particles in the gas can settle, and a manifold (44) for collecting the gas passing from the compartment through said apertures.</p> |
