Jim, One of the co-products of the absorption refrigeration cycle is hot water. The Robur tech docs suggest a 70C cooling water outlet temp. Not sure how much...
Max, You seem to have a good handle on this. My gasifier is made of 1/2" steel casing, 30" wide, 60" tall. It will hold a lot of biomas. And yes...probably...
Oh...I forgot to answer all your questions. I run an 80 hp Izusu 4 cyl. With woodgas you get about 1/2 power. That's still good. I can load the gasifier with...
