The US Department of Energy (DOE) sponsored the Atmospheric Fluidized-Bed Cogeneration Air Heater Experiment (ACAHE) to assess the performance of various heat exchanger materials in order to evaluate fluidized-bed combustion (FBC) air heater systems. Westinghouse Electric Corporation and its subcontractors, Babcock Wilcox, Foster Wheeler Development Corporation, and ABB/Combustion Engineering, specified test conditions and provided test article hardware for the ACAHE. Argonne National Laboratory, through a contract with Rockwell International, conducted tests in the DOE FBC facility located on a Rockwell site in El Segundo, CA. This paper presents an overview of the project, a description of the facility and the test hardware, the test operating conditions, a summary of the operation, and the results of analyzing uncooled materials specimen probes that were exposed in the fluidized bed for various lengths of time. A table lists the 20 alloys used in the experiment. 6 refs., 20 figs., 2 tabs.
