Performance of fuel feeding rotary valves, February-October 1983
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6874884
During the initial operation up to and including Test Series 1 at the Grimethorpe Experimental Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustion Facility, a critical problem was maintaining stable fuel flow and resultant temperature stability. At this time the fuel feed was from the fuel storage vessel through an orifice and transport lines to the combustor and control was accomplished by varying the pressure differential between the combustor and the storage vessel. Rotary valves were installed in the fuel feed system after the completion of Test Series 1 for operation during the Hot Commissioning Tests in preparation for Test Series 2. The system performance since this modification has been much improved. The report outlines the original valve design and modifications, and the operational history of the rotary valves during 1983.
