dcasto, first off thank you for the quick post, and information. But, if I can, one more question.
I'm looking to use only the heat of the flue gases, and NOT have the tubes anywhere near the actual flame, so "true" radiant energy is not available, surely heat only energy (like that of hot air...
Dear checkmate:
I see not all people on this list actually read the original post.... (we'll leave it to them, to re-read it)
Anyhow, YES, there is a set of guidelines for "Joist space" radiant floor heating... and "Bonus" they are on the web... (for free yet)
Here: (You must register, BUT...

Greetings All.
I'm not that good at this so please bear with me...
I'm looking for a basic simple conversion rate or factor that I can use to get "close" for finding the following.
(Close being "relitively near a reasonable answer")
I have a flame that I would like to put a horazontal...
Jay,
Because of copyright & patent, I can only show you this
http://www.inetlink.ca/a31ford/cgcmb/ this is a "test unit" that I am developing for use on a 1/2ton in lieu of gasoline, as far as the rest of "gasification" there are 100's if not 1000's of websites that deal with the method.
My...
Hi "KRB"
What Portion, the actual gasifier or the entire system, or what?
I have 100's of pictures, can you be a little more specific ?

How about "CHP" gasification ??
I'm running a 300KwT woodchip driven Downdraft Gasifier in CHP mode, plumbed to a Chev 350, using the water jacket as heat for the shop, house, and DHW, using the shaft power for a Kohler 40KwE AC generator.
Roughly 50lbs/hr to heat 3500 sq. ft AND all the hot...
Yoder,
I have no Idea of where you are (geographicly), I'm in centeral Canada, and it gets quite cold here (-40f) yes that's Minus.....
I'm using "kiytec" hydronic pipe, for my underground runs (3/4" ID) (Total length in the ground 460ft) 2 180ft runs, and 2 50ft runs.
I used plastispan...
Glenn,
Oil is being gasified, however, only in the crude form, I would guess that the same principals apply, and yes they are different from wood.
My system basicly has 3 "speeds" at this time, as we have had to move back to a "co-combustor" unit due to feedstock problems with the engine...
Glenn, Sorry,
I should clarify myself,
1) The entire process of gasification, is suted to many feedstocks, wood, coal, straw, grain, oil, etc. it's not just wood based.
2) The methods of each feedstock differ somewhat (some are better in an updraft unit, others in fluidized bed.
3) It was...
Ah, ok, sorry, posts are overlaping (my reply was to your first reply)
Now that we have that stright, Yes, I understand you primary is glass, it's the waste heat you want to utilize and that I also understand.
here's the thing, that waste heat, could be from another heating source, in leau of...
Glenn,
Wow, I didn't expect such a quick reply, Anyhow, let me bend your ear a bit more.
In order to understand "gasification" I can give you some links, I can do alot of typing, I can show you pictures of ours, BUT, here's the thing, that takes much of what spare time I have, don't get me...
GlassMann,
Try a downdraft gasifier (+ 85% Eff.), 0% XSAir, "flue contents" hooked directly to the intake manifold of an engine, NO GASOLINE involved!
I'm producing 20KwE AND 150KwH per hour on a very simple wood chip driven system (Used oil can also be used).
The 20KwE is from an AC...
OK,
Sorry ALL !!!!
I was crude, I retract my original post, as I was incorrect in my statement.
Everyone have a Fantastic Day !

Did anyone actually READ the original post.... or is everyone simply wanting to express their views on the tank >?
Jason, I too thought this was a good place to "spark thought" but I see, as you have, that they are not really reading...

Not that I'm aware of, this is simply a wide open zone, due to types of equipment, size, heat, etc.
What I could suggest is contact the manufacture of each unit, and ask them for anything where other clients have had to ask the same questions, it just might be that the Mfg. HAS routing info...
