[Stoves] Stoves Digest, Vol 7, Issue 5

Dear  Stover and Gasifier Wonks: 

After all the words have settled, it seems to me that "PYROLYTIC GASIFICATION" (as opposed to total air or oxygen gasification) is an adequate description of Toplit Updraft (as well as bottom lit downdraft) gasification.  

The air/fuel ratio required for total combustion is about 6/1.  The air/fuel ratio required for complete gasification is about 1.5.  The air/fuel ratio required for pyrolytic gasification can be as low as 0.9, depending on rate and temperature. Below that I have not been able to maintain the reaction zone, even in bone dry fuel.

  CH1.4O0.6 + 0.25 (O2 + 3.76 N2) ==> 0.9 CO + 0.1 CO2 + 0.7 H2

Not gasifying the charcoal greatly reduces the air required for gasification, and probably increases the energy content of the gas say from 150  to 225 Btu/scf, since air does not be supplied to gasifying the charcoal.  
 
CH1.4O0.6 + 0.15 (O2 + 3.76 N2) ==> 0.4C +  0.6 CO+ 0.3H2O + 0.4 H2

(wrong formula for charcoal and there will be methane, but that's the general idea.)

LPG, alcohol and kerosene stoves are all TLUDs and can not be ignited from underneath Reeds, Andersons and Peko Pe will not be TLUDs if some drops of kerosene go through the fuel and ignite at the bottom. The Champion stove can even be ignited from underneath, which probably most user will  do if they don't have access to kerosene since it is more simple. And if you ad some fuel during time of combustion, is no longer a TLUD.
