Gas generator grate

Abstract

A grate for a gas generator (7) adapted to operate in the gasifier of the gas generator so as to provide support to solid fuel fed thereon such as wood chips, peat, bark and hog fuel from forest harvesting and the like refuse fuel, the cross sections of the gasifier and thus also its grate being substantially circular in shape and the grate being equipped with substantially circular slots (9) having the same center point but a varying radius, whereby the circular slots are formed between the annular grate rings (3), and the grate having placed thereon a mass of balls (2) with a diameter larger than the width of the grate slots. The invention is implemented by way of mounting below the grate a member (4) that is rotatable about the center axis of the grate and is equipped with projections (6), at least some of which extending upward through the circular grate slots (9) to a level higher than the top level of the grate.
