GAS-L: stratified charge combustion

[Peter Singfield <snkm@btl.net>]

Ok Folks:

http://www.pegasuspower.com/The%20Product.htm

The following from that source:

The patented stratified charge combustion concept is used by Rotary
Power in its SCORETM engines in order to optimize burning of fuel in
the elongated combustion chamber.   In this process, there are two
high-pressure injection nozzles.   The pilot injector injects a small
amount of fuel that is ignited by an electrically energized source.  
This creates a pilot flame which ignites a larger amount of fuel
which is injected by the main injector as the rotor sweeps past it,
creating a layered (stratified) charge.   This dual injection system
results in more complete combustion of the fuel thus reducing
emissions and improving fuel economy.

Now that is what I was talking about!

By the way -- Pegasus Power is based around a Wankel design rotary engine.
They have just announced a partnership development program with BG. We are
talking motors up to 3000 HP here!

BG supplies a gasifier based on the India technology. That is producer gas
well adapted (cleaned) for I.C. engines.

They make gasifiers to size to operate 400 kwh diesel/producer gas power
plants.

I have been under the impression everyone on this list was up to date
regarding the technology. If not -- here is your chance to update your files.

By the way -- my job in all this is to guide people to the best that is
available at the most plausible costs.

My "hobby" is tinkering.

The two do combine at times. Such as at present -- to tinker a series of
two stroke diesel gen sets to run on pure producer gas and using the
residuals in the exhaust to meet heating needs.

While most of the people on this list would attempt to achieve such through
a well written grant proposal -- I have to supply it in real world for real
applications -- with absolutely no outside funding. Which boils down to
meaning -- for free or less!

But it allows me not to be stuck in a rut!

I'm surprised and even a little shocked that there has been no greater
investigation in the directions this present thread has been involved with!

To me -- the question of running a diesel 100% on producer gas with minimum
of modifications would be of prime concern in the promotion of gasifiers
for real time applications.

Especially in the 100 to 400 KWH range.
