Biomass Project: Tools

Main Reactor Design

The reactor chamber volume's main purpose is to transfer heat from the heat source (LP burner, fuel-oil, or residual reactor gases) into the biomass through the use of a intermediate, flowable media.

	Main Reactor assembly Consists of an outer shell, with inner tubes passing all the way through along the long axis. Hot gases enter the tubes on one end, and exit the other, heating them. The tubes transfer heat to the working media inside the chamber.
