Title: Prototype lockhopper valve testing and development project test plan. [Revised plan]

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6529616· OSTI ID:6529616

This document has been prepared to summarize the overall plan for testing and evaluating prototype lockhopper valves being developed by Fairchild Industries, Inc., Stratos Division, and Consolidated Controls Corporation under contract to DOE/METC. The testing effort described herein will be used to establish the capability of these valves to meet the design criteria contained in Lockhopper Valve and System Design Criteria and Guidelines for Coal Conversion and Utilization Applications, DOE/METC/54-138. The design criteria were based on the requirements of the Lockhopper Valve RFP 1813, analysis of those coal conversion processes that are most promising for demonstration and pioneer commercial plants, and a desire for valve life comparable with other plant equipment. The test plan was prepared with inputs from, and in cooperation with, Morgantown Energy Technology Center personnel and is a major revision of Prototype Lockhopper Valve Test Plan, METC/R1-79/5/R2.
