Step 16GEK Reactor Modifications and Instrumentation
We made a few changes to the basic GEK reactor design:
- Increased the size of the reduction bell, this increases power output compared to the standard GEK design, which was needed to produce syngas fast enough for the Honda engine
- Added instrumentation - 4 thermocouples and 2 pressure sensors. These aren't really needed for operation, but we built this as a research design so we like to know what is going on inside.
See the photos for how we routed the thermocouples into the GEK so that they are durable and don't interfere with operation.
