Advanced coal-fueled gas turbine systems. Technical progress report, July--September 1991
Five slagging combustor tests (CR1-2 through CR1-6) were conducted. Since integrating the slagging cyclone separator into the combustor system, noticeable quantities of char have been collected in the cyclone slag bucket and detected in the exhaust gases. The primary purpose of the CR1-X series of tests was to quantify the amount of char produced by the subscale slagging combustor system. The secondary purpose of this test series was to quantify the slag separation efficiency of the curved body impact separator and to acquire more information on the operation of the slagging cyclone separator. Test CR1-1 was conducted with a fully configured system, i.e., the curved body impact separator, slag tap bath, and slagging cyclone were installed. The CR1-1 data constitutes a baseline for the char production problem. For test CR1-2, the curved body impact separator and slag tap were removed and the centerbody impact separator was installed. This was done to recheck the relative influence of the curved body impact separator and slag tap bath on char production; also, to acquire additional data on the slag collection efficiency of the centerbody impact separator and slagging cyclone. The latter was used for deducing accurately the collection efficiency of the curved body impact separator. Qualitatively, the results of test CR1-2 suggested that the curved body impact separator and slag tap bath components do not influence char production significantly. The efficiency of the centerbody impact separator was determined to be about 90%, which is consistent with previous measurements.
