Patent number: 10000339Abstract: A gravity-fed housing for use in a gasification system is disclosed. The gravity-fed housing has a receiving end panel that forms a receive opening in a first plane. The receive opening is configured to receive a first plurality of heat carriers via gravity. The gravity-fed housing includes a siding connected to the receiving end panel. The siding forms a chamber and a discharge opening in a second plane that is parallel to the first plane. The discharge opening is offset with respect to the receive opening such that a line perpendicular to the receiving end panel that extends through a center point of the receive opening does not intersect a center point of the second opening. The siding includes a first panel that comprises a guiding surface that intersects the line and is angled toward the discharge opening.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2015Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Carlo S. Ciliberti, Jr., Donald R. Forgie, Gautam Gandhi, Michael I. Palestini, Paul J. Sullivan
