- the document EP-A-0 565 935 describes a gas generator that contains a material circulation device that has already passed through the furnace and the gasification chamber and is not completely gasified, which carries this material into the fresh material to be gasified, to pass another times through the home.
- the document FR-A-2 520 375 describes the modular coupling of different gasogens.
- the present invention proposes to eliminate these drawbacks of known co-current gasogen technology, so as to be able to produce gas generators of medium and high power (of the order of at least 1 MWel) which guarantee the production of a gas without tars, dioxins and furans, in quantity and quality respectively constant concerning these perfect parameters, and to create, among other things, the ideal conditions for the use of synthesis gas for the production of electric energy supplied by engines internal combustion.
- Another object of the invention is to prepare the ideal conditions for the manufacture of co-current gasifiers of varying power, as required, by providing modules of elements that can be coupled mechanically and / or activated as required.
- a co-current gasifier which has the characteristic features of the part described in claim 1.
- the hearth is constituted by the entire total circular surface of the vertical auger carrying the material from the bottom to the top, all the material is brought to a temperature of at least 1200 ° C, which is necessary and sufficient to ensure the "craking" of tars, etc.
- the pos. 1 of the same fig. represents a worm for feeding fresh equipment. It transports the material from a feed hopper (better visible in Fig. 3) to bring it from the turns of a vertical worm 2 which carries this material from bottom to top.
- the worm 2 is of course in a cylindrical housing 3, possibly with all the elements known to each person skilled in the art, elements intended to promote the correct transport of equipment from the bottom upwards.

- the supply of air only from the outside can be sufficient to ensure the necessary and regular combustion on the whole surface of the hearth.
- a primary combustion air supply to the lower part of the hearth that is to say to the lower central part of the disc which form the focus: to achieve this variant of the combustion air supply, it will suffice to provide that the shaft 4 of the vertical screw is, as already shown in FIG. 1, a hollow shaft fed from below, by means of the supply tube 10, air which passes through the shaft on which is fixed the gear 5, which shaft is hollow.
- combustion air supply conditions in the furnace are particularly difficult (due for example to a relatively small particle size of the material to be gasified with respect to the diameter of the furnace, respectively of the vertical screw 2, or at a higher flow rate of the material to be gasified etc, ...) it may be useful, and may be necessary, to bring combustion air both from the outer part of the hearth and its lower part, or to its outer edge, or its lower central surface through the tubes 8 and 10. It is important that the material passes through the fireplace, as a compact column that will be heated in its entirety at a temperature above 1200 ° C for enough time.

- the right part of fig. 2 is perfectly equal and inverse to the one on the right.
- the elements shown in fig. 2 are therefore exactly the same as those described in FIG. 1 and are no longer described separately.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un gazogène à co-courant comme décrit dans le prologue de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a co-current gasifier as described in the prologue of
Pour mieux comprendre le sens de la présente invention il est nécessaire de tenir compte de quelques considérations préliminaires de caractère général relatives à la gazéification.To better understand the meaning of the present invention it is necessary to take into account some preliminary considerations of a general nature relating to gasification.
Il existe dans la pratique, et ils sont mentionnés dans la littérature des brevets, divers principes de fonctionnement des gazogènes, parmi les plus importants, on trouve ceux qui appliquent les principes de la gazéification à contre-courant et à co-courant. Dans les gazogènes à contre courant le gaz généré se déplace dans la direction opposée à celle du combustible frais. Ce type de gazogène présente les avantages et les inconvénients suivants :
- avantages : température du gaz relativement basse teneur faible de poudres fines de charbon dans le gaz coûts de fabrication réduits.
- inconvénients : teneur élevée de goudrons, dioxines et furanes dans le gaz, avec comme conséquence, des coûts élevés des installations de son nettoyage et risques de pollutions de l'environnement.
- Advantages: Relatively low gas content low temperature of coal fine powders in the gas reduced manufacturing costs.
- disadvantages: high content of tars, dioxins and furans in the gas, with consequent high costs of the installations of its cleaning and risks of environmental pollution.
Dans les gazogènes à co-courant le gaz produit se déplace dans la même direction que le combustible frais. Ce type de gazogènes présente les avantages et les inconvénients suivants :
- avantages : le gaz produit, si le gazogène est bien conçu, ne contient pratiquement pas de goudrons, de dioxines et de furanes et le nettoyage du gaz produit est beaucoup plus simple et moins onéreux que pour le traitement du gaz des gazogènes à contre courant, traitement nécessaire pour réduire les effets nocifs pour l'environnement.
- inconvénients : leurs dimensions sont limitées et ne permettent pas de réaliser des installations de très grandes puissances. coûts de fabrication plus élevés teneur de poudre de charbon également plus importante.
- Advantages: the gas produced, if the gasifier is well designed, contains practically no tars, dioxins and furans and the cleaning of the product gas is much simpler and less expensive than for the treatment of countercurrent gazogen gas, treatment necessary to reduce the harmful effects on the environment.
- disadvantages: their dimensions are limited and do not allow to realize installations of very great powers. higher manufacturing costs coal powder content also more important.
L'expérience avec les gazogènes à co-courant connus, desquels les plus performants sont les gazogènes à un foyer, appelé aussi chambre de combustion, de forme circulaire obtenue par un rétrécissement de la chambre d'alimentation du combustible, dans laquelle le combustible se déplace du haut vers le bas par gravité (il s'agit, pour la précision des gazogènes montés sur les véhicules durant les années quarante et alimentés en bois, type IMBERT) a ensuite permis de vérifier un principe de grande importance, c'est à dire que la gazéification à co-courant assure la production d'un gaz dans lequel sont absents les goudrons, les dioxines et les furanes, seulement à la condition qu'un certain rapport entre la surface du foyer et la granulométrie moyenne du combustible soit respectée.The experiment with the known co-current gasifiers, of which the most efficient are the gasifiers with a focus, also called combustion chamber, of circular shape obtained by a narrowing of the fuel supply chamber, in which the fuel is moves from top to bottom by gravity (it is, for the precision of gasifiers mounted on vehicles during the forties and fed with wood, type IMBERT) then allowed to verify a principle of great importance, it is that co-current gasification ensures the production of a gas in which tars, dioxins and furans are absent, provided that a certain ratio of the furnace surface to the average particle size of the fuel is respected. .
Cela signifie que les dimensions du foyer doivent être adaptées à la granulométrie moyenne du combustible à gazéifier. Les matériaux de petite granulométrie, comme par exemple les rémanents végétaux, ménagers ou industriels, préparés pour la gazéification, (séchés, déchiquetés, homogénéisés pour obtenir un combustible dont les propriétés sont régulières) exigent donc, selon la condition sus mentionnée, que les dimensions du foyer soient également limitées, limitant ainsi la puissance de tels gazogènes.This means that the dimensions of the fireplace must be adapted to the average particle size of the fuel to be gasified. Materials of small particle size, such as vegetable, household or industrial remnants, prepared for gasification, (dried, shredded, homogenized to obtain a fuel whose properties are regular) therefore require, according to the condition mentioned above, that the dimensions of the home are also limited, thus limiting the power of such gasifiers.
La raison scientifique concernant la valeur de la règle sus mentionnée est à rechercher dans le fait que, si la section du foyer est trop grande par rapport à la granulométrie moyenne du combustible, il est pratiquement impossible à garantir que tout le combustible soit porté à une température suffisante à assurer le « craking » des goudrons, des dioxines et des furanes qui seront entraînés dans le gaz.The scientific reason for the value of the above-mentioned rule is to be found in the fact that, if the section of the hearth is too large in relation to the average particle size of the fuel, it is practically impossible to guarantee that all the fuel is brought to a minimum. temperature sufficient to ensure the "craking" of tars, dioxins and furans that will be entrained in the gas.
Pour ces raisons il a déjà été proposé de réaliser un gazogène dont la chambre de combustion est de forme annulaire, alimentée en air comburant primaire aussi bien de l'extérieur que de l'intérieur.For these reasons, it has already been proposed to produce a gasifier whose combustion chamber is annular in shape, supplied with primary combustion air both from the outside and the inside.

La présente invention se propose d'éliminer ces inconvénients de la technologie des gazogènes à co-courant connus, de manière de pouvoir réaliser des gazogènes de moyenne et haute puissance (de l'ordre d'au moins 1 MWél) qui garantissent la production d'un gaz sans goudrons, dioxines et furanes, en quantité et en qualité, respectivement constantes concernant ces paramètres parfaits, et de créer entre autre les conditions idéales de l'utilisation du gaz de synthèse pour la production d'énergie électrique fournie par des moteurs à combustion interne.The present invention proposes to eliminate these drawbacks of known co-current gasogen technology, so as to be able to produce gas generators of medium and high power (of the order of at least 1 MWel) which guarantee the production of a gas without tars, dioxins and furans, in quantity and quality respectively constant concerning these perfect parameters, and to create, among other things, the ideal conditions for the use of synthesis gas for the production of electric energy supplied by engines internal combustion.
Un autre but de l'invention est de préparer les conditions idéales pour la fabrication des gazogènes à co-courant de puissance variable, selon les nécessités, en prévoyant des modules d'éléments qui peuvent être accouplés mécaniquement et/ou activés selon les besoins.Another object of the invention is to prepare the ideal conditions for the manufacture of co-current gasifiers of varying power, as required, by providing modules of elements that can be coupled mechanically and / or activated as required.
Ces conditions sont résolues au mo0yen d'un gazogène à co-courant qui a les particularités caractéristiques de la partie décrite dans la revendication 1. Par le fait que le foyer est constitué par toute la surface circulaire totale de la vis sans fin verticale transportant le matériel du bas vers le haut, tout le matériel est porté à une température d'au moins 1200°C, laquelle est nécessaire et suffisante pour assurer le « craking » des goudrons etc, ...These conditions are solved by means of a co-current gasifier which has the characteristic features of the part described in

It transports the material from a feed hopper (better visible in Fig. 3) to bring it from the turns of a
L'arbre de rotation 4 de la vis 2 peut être creux, comme indiqué dans la fig. 1, pour une raison qui sera expliquée plus avant. L'arbre 4 de la vis 2 est entraîné par un engrenage 5 et un engrenage hélicoïdal 6. La vis d'alimentation du matériel 1, le logement cylindrique 3, l'arbre vertical 4 de la vis verticale 2, de même que les engrenages 5 et 6 sont supportés, respectivement fixés, dans, respectivement à, un bâti 7, doté des logements nécessaires, qui peuvent être équipés, comme dans le cas des arbres tournants, des paliers à billes linéaires ou rotatifs.The
A la partie supérieure de la vis verticale 2, formée d'une section circulaire complètement libre de tout élément gênant, un foyer est créé, selon l'invention, entendu par là, que dans cette zone, en forme de disque plein, tout le matériel qui la traverse est contraint de passer dans une zone de combustion, où il est porté à la température d'au moins 1200°C pendant un temps suffisant. Pour obtenir cette condition sur toute la section du foyer il est nécessaire d'amener l'air comburant de manière régulière sur toute la section du foyer, donc en forme de disque, ce qu'il est possible d'obtenir, soit par une alimentation par la partie circulaire extérieure, c'est à dire par le bord extérieur, soit par la partie inférieure de la section du foyer, ou encore par une combinaison des deux possibilités, considérée comme variante possible.At the upper part of the
Pour amener l'air comburant à l'extérieur de la partie circulaire du foyer il est possible de prévoir, comme montré dans la fig. 1 dans une variante possible d'exécution, que l'air extérieur vienne alimenté au moyen d'un ventilateur (pas indiqué) et un tube d'alimentation 8, à une chambre circulaire 9 entourant le bord supérieur du logement 2 en un point situé au dessus du point le plus haut des spires de la vis verticale 2, où le matériel transporté à gazéifier forme une colonne compacte. Si le diamètre de la vis verticale 2 ne dépasse pas une certaine dimension, principalement fonction de la granulométrie moyenne du matériel à gazéifier et se situant de préférence, pour un fonctionnement optimal du gazogène selon la présente invention et pour la combustion de plaquettes de bois de dimensions approximatives du cm, de 100 à 200 mm et plus, l'apport d'air seulement de l'extérieur peut être suffisant pour assurer la combustion nécessaire et régulière sur toute la surface su foyer. En outre, selon la présente invention, il est également prévu un apport d'air primaire de combustion à la partie inférieure du foyer, c'est à dire à la partie centrale inférieure du disque qui forme le foyer : pour réaliser cette variante de l'alimentation en air comburant, il suffira de prévoir que l'arbre 4 de la vis verticale soit, comme déjà montré dans la fig. 1, un arbre creux alimenté par le bas, au moyen du tube d'alimentation 10, en air qui passe à travers l'arbre sur lequel est fixé l'engrenage 5, arbre qui est donc creux.To bring the combustion air outside the circular part of the hearth it is possible to provide, as shown in FIG. 1 in a possible variant embodiment, that the outside air comes supplied by means of a fan (not indicated) and a
Il faut encore noter que, si les conditions d'alimentation en air comburant dans le foyer sont particulièrement difficiles (dues par exemple à une granulométrie relativement petite du matériel à gazéifier par rapport au diamètre du foyer, respectivement de la vis verticale 2, ou encore à un débit plus important du matériel à gazéifier etc, ...) il peut être utile, et peut être nécessaire, d'apporter de l'air comburant aussi bien de la partie extérieure du foyer que de sa partie inférieure, soit à son bord extérieur, soit à sa surface centrale inférieure par l'intermédiaire des tubes 8 et 10. Il est important que le matériel traverse le foyer, en tant que colonne compacte qui sera chauffée dans toute sa masse à une température supérieure à 1200°C pendant un temps suffisant. Selon l'invention, il est nécessaire de compléter le gazogène et selon l'Etat de la Technique connue, par une chambre de gazéification 11 disposée au dessus du foyer, dont la fonction est décrite en détail dans le document
Dans la fig. 1 on distingue en outre divers éléments, pas indispensables pour la définition du gazogène selon l'invention, éléments qui sont seulement mentionnés. Il s'agit par exemple d'une résistance électrique 13, qui sert à chauffer l'air comburant primaire pour l'allumage du gazogène froid (résistance qui sera mise hors service au moment où le gazogène fonctionne normalement) ainsi que de la chambre de détente 14 munie du tube de sortie 15. Dans la chambre de détente 14 la vitesse de passage du gaz produit diminue et devient plus homogène avant d'être acheminé à travers le tube de sortie 15 vers les appareils de consommation (chaudière ou moteur etc, ,,,). La chambre de gazéification 11 à l'intérieur de laquelle une haute température est désirée pour des motifs plusieurs fois répétés, est isolée thermiquement par un coussin de matériel isolant réfractaire 16.In fig. 1 there are also various elements, not essential for the definition of the gasifier according to the invention, elements that are only mentioned. This is for example an
Dans la fig. 1 un gazogène unique y est représenté doté de tous les éléments indispensables à la réalisation du concept de base inventif de la présente invention.In fig. 1 a unique gasifier is shown there having all the elements essential to the realization of the basic concept of the invention.
Son fonctionnement est en tous points similaire à celui de
Les figures 2, 3 et 4 montrent précisément la possibilité d'accoupler quatre gazogènes et, à ce sujet, il faut mentionner que deux gazogènes mis ensembles, l'un contre l'autre, comme on peut le voir dans la section de la fig. 2, constituent un module de base idéal pour la combinaison de tels gazogènes multiples.Figures 2, 3 and 4 show precisely the possibility of coupling four gasogens and, in this regard, it should be mentioned that two gasogens put together, one against the other, as can be seen in the section of the fig. . 2, constitute an ideal basic module for the combination of such multiple gasifiers.
La partie droite de la fig. 2 est parfaitement égale et inverse à celle de droite. Les éléments représentés dans la fig. 2 sont donc exactement les mêmes que ceux décrits dans la fig. 1 et ne sont plus décrits séparément. On se limitera donc à décrire les aspects nouveaux de cette combinaison de deux gazogènes de base accouplés, qui constituent un module de base idéal pour réaliser la combinaison de gazogènes multiples. L'avantage de la combinaison de deux gazogènes accouplés pour former un module de base idéal réside dans le fait que la vis sans fin d'alimentation du matériel 1 et l'engrenage hélicoïdal 6 de l'alimentation des vis verticales 2 et 2', toutes deux horizontales et parallèles entre elles, peuvent servir de manière optimale à alimenter les deux gazogènes accouplés, ce qui simplifie considérablement la construction de l'appareil. Le dispositif de rotation des vis 2 et 2' comprend, dans la variante de la fig. 2, un engrenage hélicoïdal horizontal 6 et deux engrenages 5 et 5' solidaires des arbres verticaux des deux vis 2 et 2'. Il est par ailleurs clair que ce dispositif d'entraînement des vis 2 et 2' des deux gazogènes accouplés 5 et 5' est seulement une des plusieurs variantes possibles des solutions du problème d'entraînement, même si on peut considérer cette solution comme étant parfaite. D'autres solutions, comme par exemple, l'utilisation d'engrenages coniques ou courroies dentées de transmission, etc, ... peuvent être en outre utilisées dans la réalisation d'un module de base idéal similaire à celui montré dans la fig. 2.The right part of fig. 2 is perfectly equal and inverse to the one on the right. The elements shown in fig. 2 are therefore exactly the same as those described in FIG. 1 and are no longer described separately. We will therefore limit ourselves to describing the new aspects of this combination of two coupled basic gasogens, which constitute an ideal basic module for achieving the combination of multiple gasogens. The advantage of the combination of two coupled gas generators to form an ideal basic module lies in the fact that the feed screw of the
Il est dès lors évident qu'en accouplant un nombre quelconque de modules de base idéaux comme celui représenté dans la fig. 2, -comme on le voit par exemple dans les fig. 3 et 4, dans lesquelles il apparaît clairement que deux modules de base idéaux ont été accouplés pour constituer un appareil de gazéification comprenant quatre gazogènes selon l'invention - les éléments d'entraînement des vis verticales de tous les gazogènes accouplés peuvent être actionnés par un seul dispositif rotatif, c'est à dire, dans le cas décrit, par un seul engrenage hélicoïdal qui se prolonge, en tant qu'arbre horizontal, le long du plan de symétrie de chaque couple de gazogènes, arbre indiqué par le n° 6 et qui, en correspondance de chaque couples de gazogènes, est pourvu d'un engrenage hélicoïdal.It is therefore obvious that by coupling any number of ideal base modules like that shown in FIG. 2, as seen for example in FIGS. 3 and 4, in which it is clear that two ideal basic modules have been coupled to form a gasification apparatus comprising four gasifiers according to the invention - the drive elements of the vertical screws of all the coupled gasogens can be actuated by a only rotating device, that is to say, in the case described, by a single helical gear which extends, as a horizontal shaft, along the plane of symmetry of each pair of gasogens, shaft indicated by No. 6 and which, in correspondence of each pair of gasogens, is provided with a helical gear.
Dans une forme de réalisation préférentielle de l'invention il est prévu qu'également la vis d'alimentation 1 du matériel frais - de manière analogue comme décrit pour l'arbre des engrenages hélicoïdaux 6 - soit disposée dans le plan vertical de symétrie de chaque module de base idéal de deux gazogènes accouplés et qu'elle même se prolonge le long de toute la longueur de l'appareil de gazéification, alimentant collectivement tous les gazogènes constituant le dit appareil.In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is also provided that the
Des fig. 1 à 4 on voit une forme particulièrement préférentielle du dispositif de circulation 12, 12' du matériel qui a déjà traversé le foyer et les chambres de gazéification 11, 11'. Un tel dispositif comprend une vis sans fin horizontale d'évacuation 19, 19' pour chaque gazogène, disposée au dessus des chambres de gazéification 11, 11', respectivement entre les chambres de gazéification 11, 11' et la chambre de détente 14. La vis sans fin d'évacuation 19,19' de chaque gazogène, dont l'axe est perpendiculaire à celui de la vis d'alimentation 1, pousse le matériel pyrolysé (charbon) et/ou pas encore complètement gazéifié à l'extérieur de la chambre de gazéification 11, 11' du gazogène et le fait retourner dans la zone où se trouve la vis sans fin 2 ou 2'. De cette manière le matériel à faire circuler vient mélangé avec le matériel frais alimenté par la vis d'alimentation 1 et passe à travers un foyer d'un autre gazogène.Figs. 1 to 4 is a particularly preferred form of the
Par ailleurs, dans la fig. 2 est représenté un détail supplémentaire, concernant le module formé par l'accouplement de deux gazogènes, qui montre comment l'air comburant primaire qui passe au travers du tube 10 peut être préchauffé, et refroidir la dite vis avant d'entrer dans les arbres 4, 4' des dits gazogènes. A telle fin, l'air est pulsé par un ventilateur (non montré) à travers le tube 20 sur lequel sont fixées les vis sans fin 19, 19' d'évacuation des deux gazogènes composant le module de base idéal. En passant dans le tube 20 l'air comburant est chauffé par conduction par le gaz qui monte vers la chambre de détente 14 et lèche le tube 20. Selon une forme d'exécution préférentielle de l'invention il est prévu que les vis sans fin horizontales d'évacuation 19, 19' des deux gazogènes accouplés, composant un module de base idéal, déplacent le matériel en circulation comme le montrent les fig. 2 et 3.Moreover, in fig. 2 is shown a further detail, relating to the module formed by the coupling of two gasifiers, which shows how the primary combustion air passing through the
Selon une forme ultérieure de réalisation préférentielle, montrée par la fig. 4, les vis sans fin horizontales d'évacuation19, 19' des deux gazogènes accouplés formant un module de base idéal, quand elles tournent dans le sens normal, déplacent le matériel de circulation, vers le centre du module, dans un canal vertical, à travers lequel le matériel en circulation descend sur la vis d'alimentation du matériel frais 1.According to a further preferred embodiment, shown in FIG. 4, the horizontal evacuation screws 19, 19 'of the two coupled gas generators forming an ideal basic module, when they rotate in the normal direction, move the circulation material, towards the center of the module, in a vertical channel, to through which the circulating material descends on the feed screw of the
Selon une variante ultérieure d'exécution préférentielle il est en outre prévu que, si l'on inverse le sens de rotation des vis sans fin horizontales d'évacuation du matériel des deux gazogènes accouplés 19, 19', formant un module de base idéal (voir fig. 2), ces dernières déplacent le matériel incombustible vers l'extérieur de l'appareil de gazéification, où le déchet est éliminé. En effet on doit considérer que chaque combustible produit des déchets, sous forme de scories, cendres et restes de matériaux incombustibles lesquels, même s'ils passent plusieurs fois dans le foyer grâce au dispositif de circulation, restent dans leur état initial et pourraient obstruer le gazogène. Ces matériaux qui sont recueillis à la partie supérieure des chambres de gazéification 11, 11', doivent être évacués de temps en temps, ce qui peut être obtenu en profitant de la présence des vis sans fin d'évacuation 19, 19' lesquelles servent normalement à faire circuler le matériel à recycler comme il a été expliqué plus avant, mais que, si l'on inverse le sens de rotation , peuvent servir avantageusement à éloigner du gazogène les déchets, c'est à dire les scories et autres déchets incombustibles. La fig. 2 ne montre pas le dispositif qui éloigne les incombustibles à l'extrémité des vis sans fin d'évacuation 19, 19', pour la simple raison que l'exécution d'un tel dispositif (canal de ramassage, système d'aspiration etc, ...) est à la portée de chaque homme de métier. Dans la fig. 5 on peut voir deux tubes 27, 28 qui peuvent servir dans ce but.According to a further variant of preferred embodiment, it is furthermore provided that, if the direction of rotation of the horizontal evacuation screws of the material of the two coupled gasogens 19, 19 ', forming an ideal basic module is reversed ( see Fig. 2), these move the incombustible material out of the gasifier, where the waste is removed. In fact, it must be considered that each fuel produces waste, in the form of slag, ashes and remains of incombustible materials which, even if they pass through the hearth several times thanks to the circulation device, remain in their initial state and could obstruct the gasifier. These materials, which are collected at the top of the
Dans la fig. 3 on voit également le système d'alimentation du matériel frais au moyen de la vis d'alimentation 1 : on voit en particulier comme la vis alimente deux gazogènes de deux modules de base idéaux accouplés (mais il pourrait y en avoir beaucoup plus) avec un excédent de matériel. L'alimentation se fait du côté gauche depuis la trémie 22, tandis que du côté droit, à l'extrémité de la vis sans fin 1, le matériel tombe dans un tube 23. Un autre tube 24, indiqué seulement de manière schématique, reporte le matériel de la circulation dans la trémie du matériel frais (pas indiqué dans les figures)In fig. 3 we also see the feeding system of fresh equipment by means of the feed screw 1: it is seen in particular as the screw feeds two gas generators of two ideal basic modules coupled (but there could be many more) with an excess of material. The supply is on the left side from the
La fig. 5 montre une variante ultérieure de deux gazogènes accouplés pour former un module de base idéal, dont l'avantage est celui de réduire l'encombrement, surtout dans la partie inférieure du gazogène. Dans cette variante, les axes des deux vis 25,26 des deux gazogènes accouplés pour former un module de base idéal forment entre eux un angle α compris entre 0 et 20°. Pour cette raison les vis verticales 2, 2' sont définies comme étant « essentiellement » verticales, mais une légère inclinaison ne peut pas être exclue du champ de l'invention.Fig. 5 shows a later variant of two coupled gasifiers to form an ideal base module, the advantage of which is to reduce the bulk, especially in the lower part of the gasifier. In this variant, the axes of the two
Le gazogène, selon l'invention, offre en outre l'avantage quand il est combiné avec d'autres gazogènes pour former un appareil de gazéification de plus grande puissance, si on prévoit d'actionner individuellement les vis essentiellement verticales 2, 2' etc, il est possible, dans un appareil composé de plusieurs gazogènes, de maintenir en fonction uniquement ceux qui servent réellement à chaque moment, pour adapter l'appareil aux productions énergétiques effectivement nécessaires, respectivement à la disponibilité du matériel à gazéifier. Dans ce but, il est suffisant de prévoir que, dans une solution comme celle montrée dans les fig. 2 à 4, les engrenages 5, 5' etc, des vis individuelles 2, 2' etc, soit reliés avec les arbres respectifs par un accouplement mécanique ou de tout autre système, qui permet de les libérer quand on désire arrêter le fonctionnement du gazogène correspondant. Une autre possibilité, montrée dans la forme d'exécution de la fig. 5, consiste à équiper les engrenages individuels 5, 5' d'engrenages hélicoïdaux entraînés par des moteurs individuels 29, 29'. Dans un tel cas, il suffira d'arrêter les moteurs de vis essentiellement verticales 2, 2' etc, pour mettre hors services le gazogène correspondant e ainsi adapter la production de gaz aux nécessités du moment.The gasifier according to the invention also offers the advantage when it is combined with other gasifiers to form a gasification apparatus of greater power, if it is intended to operate individually the essentially
Cette diversité de possibilités de constructions, ajoutée à la capacité d'assurer des conditions de gazéification optimales comme cela a été décrit dans l'introduction, est une des caractéristiques principales de la présente invention qui la rende applicable à un grand nombres de réalisations pratiques liées principalement à la destruction par voie thermique des déchets de tous genres.This diversity of construction possibilities, coupled with the ability to ensure optimal gasification conditions as described in the introduction, is one of the main features of the present invention which makes it applicable to a large number of practical embodiments related to mainly to the thermal destruction of waste of all kinds.
