The Test Series 2.3 research programme was carried out in two separate periods, from August to October 1983, and February to March 1984, at the Grimethorpe Experimental Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion Facility. The tests used Zimnox coal from the Pittsburgh seam USA and Plum Run dolomite from Ohio, USA, and provided operating experience with a third tube bank, Tube Bank 'C2'. The two parts of the test series, Test Series 2.3A and 2.3B, consisted of 677 and 203 coal burning hours, respectively, which included 365 and 132 data collection hours respectively. The report provides a description of the Facility as it was used and modified during Test Series 2.3A and 2.3B. The test plan and objectives are detailed. Performance data are presented in respect of the following: combustion efficiency; sulphur retention; NO/sub x/, SO/sub 3/ and CO gaseous emissions; bed characteristics; heat transfer and in-bed temperatures; bed material breakdown, splash and elutriation; cyclone performance; alkali, chlorine and fluorine emissions; tube bank metal wastage; cascade blade exposure; and the combined cycle-related tests. The data evaluation and analysis procedures are also presented. The results indicate a continued improvement in data gathering capability and plant reliability over previous test series. 88 refs.
