Effect of various dimensions of cyclone combustor to burn raw producer gas

Abstract

A cyclone combustor was designed for syngas combustion induce in this paper. The syngas from biomass gasification is burned in cyclone combustor as a fuel. The objective of this research is to investigate the effects of various dimension of cyclone chamber including different diameters and different lengths of cyclone combustion chamber. The tangential velocity and exhaust gas quality are compared in various dimension of cyclone chamber. The result shows that the small diameter and long chamber of combustor cause high burning efficiency; the combustor can produce high CO2, low O2 and high exhaust gas temperature. To produce strongly cyclonic flow, the combustor should have large diameter and short length.
