OSTI ID:5463334

The Test Series 2.2 research program was carried out between November 1983 and February 1984 at the Grimethorpe Experimental Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion Facility. The tests used a coal and limestone nominated by the FRG and provided operating experience with a third tube bank, Tube Bank 'C2'. The period consisted of 578 coal burning hours, which included 375 data collection hours. The report provides a description of the Facility as it was used and modified during Test Series 2.2. 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 chracteristics; heat transfer and in-bed temperatures; bed material breakdown, ''splash'' and elutriation; cyclone performance; pressure pulsations; 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.
