can be used in internal <strong>combustion</strong> engines.<br />

2.3.2. Influence of reactor type<br />

Dry wood was experimental used by several workers in different types of gasifiers<br />

being the results shown in Table 2.5. Some values are just indicative due to unknown<br />

gasification conditions.<br />

Table 2.5 – Characteristics of the produced gas for atmospheric gasifiers (Mehrling and<br />

Vierrath, 1989; Graham and Bain, 1993; Hasler et. al., 1994; Hasler and Nussbaumer, 1999)<br />

Comparing both Tables 2.5 and 2.6 is possible to see some discrepancies especially<br />

re<strong>la</strong>ted to CO content. This situation emphasizes the influence of the gasification<br />

conditions in the final composition of the produced gas.<br />

Several authors have reported the increase of gas yield and the <strong>de</strong>crease in gas heat<br />
