GEK v3_5 CAD drawings for all sheet metal parts

return to How to Build and Run the GEK Gasifier

 

Here are the GEK Gasifier plans CAD drawings for all cut sheet metal pieces used to make the GEK v3.5.  The drawings are divided between the rectangular pieces that are rolled to make the vessel tubes, and the circular pieces for flange rings, end plates and grates.   Fabrication Instructions for v3.0-v3.5 kits are here.

 

The GEK v3.5 was a transition version from v3 to v4.  APL used it to progressively incorporate the intended changes for the v4 unit, a process that when finished was declared the "v4.0 GEK".   The below v3.5 files include all features of the v4 GEK except the provisions for the side shake grate.  The v3.5 is still the bottom turned rotary grate.  Either grate version works well.  The main reason for the change to the side shake grate was for easier mechanization (which is still debatable).  So in short, this version is all the important things of the v4 GEK.  (Jim says he'll get the v4 files out as soon as he can)

 

Here's the list of major changes from v3 through the end of v3.5

 

  • Change inside reactor ID to 11" from 10".  This was done by changing the the bottom end plate and the inside insulation tube.
  • Added full hourglass double hearth, replacing the inverted V hearth.
  • Drum packed bed filter added, replacing the cyclone top packed bed filter
  • Gas cowling changed from 14.75" nominal diameter to 15" nominal diameter
  • Insulation added inside the gas cowling, held in place by a ss insert tube.

 

These changes are also listed and pictured on the "upgrades" page in the store:  http://www.gekgasifier.com/gasification-store/upgrades-for-old-geks/
