In an experimental gasifier with 3 kg/h of conversion capacity, studies were made in order to get experimental data on the production of combustible gas from coal by a cyclic gasification process. The material and energy balances and the composition data are presented for 8 runs gasifying coke or coal. An acceptable reproducibility of data was observed. It is possible to obtain a fuel gas with a high calorific value of 10 MJ/m 3 using air.
