The amount of CO found in the producer gas is dependent upon operating conditions, such as: 1. The temperature of the producer. 2. Depth of the hot fuel bed. 3. Rate of flow of gas through the bed. These conditions were investigated by Clement, Adams and Haskin1 in order to determine the relation existing between the percentage of carbon monoxide formed and the temperature and time of contact, the result of these investigations leading to the statement "in order that the reaction CO2 + O = 2CO in the fuel bed of the gas producer may be nearly complete and take place in the shortest possible time, a temperature of not less than 1300C. (2370F.) must be maintained. The higher the temperature the more rapid will be the formation of carbon monoxide; also since the amount of carbon monoxide formed increases with the time the gases are in contact with the incandescent qarbon, the greater the depth of the incandescent portion of the bed, the greater will be the percentage of carbon monoxide obtained." In the operation of producers we find the temperature rising as high as 1650C (3002F.) before carbon dioxide is eliminated, and at a temperature of 1200C. (2192F.) we find from 5 to 10 per cent. of carbon dioxide and from 19 to 28 per cent. of carbon monoxide; in spite of a higher carbon monoxide production, operating conditions limit the producer temperature, and it is very undesirable to make this temperature too high, because if the gases leaving the producer are of too high a temperature they will...
