This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1916 Excerpt: ...diam., thewet scrubber should be 3 ft. inside diam., an$ if the generator shell is 8 ft. 6 in. high, the scrubber should be 12 ft. 9 in. high. When filled with the proper amount of baffling and scrubbing material (coke is commonly used), the scrubber will have space for about 30 cu. ft. of gas. A 100-H.P. gas engine using 12,000 B.T.U. per H.P.-hour will use 160 cu. ft. of 125B.T.U. gas per minute. The wet scrubber will therefore be emptied 5Vs times every minute, and would require about 81/3 gallons of water per minute; if the diameter of the scrubber were reduced one-third the volume of water necessary to cool and scrub the gas would have to be doubled. Gas must be cooled below 90 F. to enable it to give up the impurities it carries in suspension, and even lower than this to condense its moisture. A separate dry scrubber with two compartments should always be provided and the piping between the two scrubbers so arranged that the gas can be turned into either part of the dry scrubber at will. The dry scrubber should be equal in area to the inside of the generator, and the depth of each part should be sufficient to accommodate at least 2 cu. ft. of scrubbing material and give 1 cu. ft. of space next to the outlet. Oilsoaked excelsior is a good scrubbing material and should be packed as closely as possible. Taking as the standard the dimensions above stated for the different parts of a producer-gas plant, a list of dimensions for different horse-power capacities would be about as in the following table. The inside diameter of the producers corresponds to the formula H.P. = 6.25. Gas Producer Practice.--The following notes on gas producers are condensed from the catalogue of the Morgan Construction Co. The Morgan Continuous Gas Producer is made in the followin..
