Implementacion de un sistema de instrumentación con sensores de temperatura y de flujo en cada etapa del gasificador Downdraft GEK 1.2.5 de la facultad técnica para regular la eficiencia en grupo electrógeno Otto usando gas de síntesis obtenido por biomasa.

Abstract

The overall objective of this project is the implementation of volumetric flow and temperature sensors for data collection in order to regulate efficiency in a synthesis gas-powered electrogen group obtained by the process of biomass gasificaion in downdraft gasifier location in the technical faculty for the development of the Catholic University of Santiago de Guayaquil. To meet the proposed objectives, rigorous maintenance was carried out on each part of the GEK TOTTI downdraft gasifier of the technical faculty and through the evaluation of each component improvements were made to help with better performance in the production of a seesthesian gas containing low impurity and tar by gasification of the organic residue of maize. The entire process that was carried out was in order to implement the temperature and flow sensors which will be connected a control panel where the measurement of values will be carried out throughout the gasification process which allowed to calibrate or regulate the mixture air/gas with which efficiency is regulated in a generator for microgeneration of energy. This work was carried out applying the basic knowledge learned during the student and professional career, which is focused on the microgeneration of energy with renewable sources such as biomass.
