The Test Series 2.1 research program was carried out between August 1982 and February 1983 at the Grimethorpe Experimental Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion Facility. The tests formed part of the second stage of combustion research, providing operating experience with a second tube bank, Tube Bank C. The period consisted of 740 coal burning hours, which included 382 data collection hours. The report provides a description of the facility as it was used and modified during Test Series 2.1. The test plan and objectives are detailed. performance data are presented in respect of the following: combustion efficiency, sulfur retention, NO/sub x/, SO/sub 3/ and CO gaseous emissions; bed characteristics; heat transfer and in-bed temperatures; bed material breakdown and elutriation; cyclone performance; alkali, chlorine and fluorine emissions; and the combined cycle-related tests. The data evaluation and analysis procedures are also presented. The results indicate a significant improvement in data gathering capability and plant reliability over previous test series.
