Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the design and construction of an auxiliary gas producer power plant, a project conceptualized to furnish backup power or supplemental capacity during periods of high demand or outages at established steam power plants. The author provides a detailed account of the decision-making process involved in selecting the optimal gas producer for the plant, ultimately choosing the R. D. Wood producer for its automated feed mechanism, rotating ash table, and effective purification system. The book delves into the technical specifications of the plant's components, including the producers, economizers, scrubbers, tar extractors, purifiers, and gas holder. It also covers the rationale behind the selection of engines, generators, boilers, coal handling machinery, pumps, piping, air compressor, crane, cooling tower, and water supply tank, providing calculations and assumptions to justify the choices made. Beyond the technical aspects, the book discusses the historical context of gas producer power plants and their significance as a reliable and efficient alternative to traditional steam power plants. It highlights the benefits of using gas producers, such as their ability to utilize various fuels, including coal and biomass, and their potential for reducing operating costs. This book is a valuable resource for engineers, plant designers, and energy professionals seeking to understand the design, construction, and operation of gas producer power plants. Its comprehensive coverage of technical details, historical context, and practical applications makes it an informative and insightful guide for anyone interested in this field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
