Abstract: An apparatus and process for producing a combustible oil gas as a supplement to heating gas from a gas generator comprising a bed of curved elongated refractory bodies composed of silicon carbide material having a high thermal conductivity superimposed upon a layer of refractory grid tile capable of withstanding over 3,000* F., the bed being of a thickness of 0.05-0.5 times the diameter of the shell of the gas generator containing the refractory bed, each body having a curved surface with a diameter between 0.5 to 0.08 times the bed thickness and a length approximately 0.2 to 1.0 times the bed thickness, the bed being directly exposed to form the bottom of a combustion chamber within the gas machine so as to absorb thermal shock and to preserve the conventional refractory brick tile from fusing and spalling and restricting the flow of gas through the refractory bed as well as to maintain a rapid heating oil ignition to avoid explosions within the refractory bed.
