Recirculating fluidized bed combustion system for a steam generator
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6339488
The invention comprises a steam generator fluidized bed which recirculates through a major portion of the normal gas to fluid heat transfer circuits. Solid bed material is separated, collected and recirculated. Bed temperatures are limited by regulation of density of bed inert material to inhibit the radiant aspects of combustion. Gas recirculation is used to supplement air flow to achieve higher than entrainment bed gas velocity in the fuel ignition and reaction zone. Fuel ignition and reaction are controlled by limiting the amount of atmospheric air flow to the circulating fuel rich bed mixture to regulate extent of propagation of the ignition and reaction zone into the initial portion of the circulating bed loop, starting from the point of highest gas pressure.
