Coal-Fired MHD Combustor Development Project: Phase IV, Final technical report, April 10, 1987--September 23, 1988

Technical Report · Fri Sep 23 04:00:00 EDT 1988

OSTI ID:6623315

This report presents the results and accomplishments of Phase IV activities culminated with the shipment of two key combustion system components to the DOE Component Development and Integration Facility (CDIF) in Butte, Montana. Integrated testing of the 50 MW/sub t/ workhorse slagging coal combustor in conjunction with the 1A1 power train will directly support the on-going MHD Integrated Topping Cycle Proof-of-Concept (POC) Program. The scope of the effort completed included: the fabrication, assembly, hot-fire checkout testing and shipment to the CDIF of a low preheat coal-fired precombustor; the procurement and shipment to the CDIF of a continuous slag removal and electrical isolation system; and the continuation of on-site engineering and hardware repair activities in support of 50 MW/sub t/ power train testing at CDIF. 86 figs., 20 tabs.
