Parametric performance studies on fluidized-bed heat exchangers
Abstract
The performance of single and multistage shallow fluidized beds for possible application to the recovery of heat from sources as waste heat, and coal combustion or coal gasification were investigated. The following tests are investigated: (1) the effects of fouling due to liquid condensate in the gas stream of fluidized beds which are staged using baffle plates; and (3) the effects of different heat exchanger surface geometries. The conditions fouling by a liquid condensate are selected. Modifications are made to the fluidized bed heat exchanger facility for the fouling experiments.
