Shallow-bed fluidized bed, heat exchangers have been intensively studied for various applications and found to be competitive with conventional heat exchangers. Work has proceeded in studies for waste heat recovery, cooling system for heat pumps, dry cooling towers for power plants, and others. The Aerojet Energy Conversion Company (AECC) in a contract with the Department of Energy (DOE), is currently conducting a program to identify the ideal bed material for a given application. 10 refs.
