Applications for fluidized bed heat exchangers in various industries, their operating principles and a detailed analysis of their suitability for replacing double-pipe scraped-surface heat exchangers in lube oil plants are discussed. Development of the fluidized bed heat exchanger started in the early 70s and was totally dedicated to improvement of the multistage flash evaporator for sea water desalination. This resulted in a demonstration plant with a fluidized bed heat exchanger with a total heat transfer surface of over 1,000 m/sup 2/. Over an operating period of more than 15,000 hours untreated sea water was heated to more than 120{sup 0}C without any fouling in the tubes due to scale deposits.
