Pilot-plant feasibility studies of a fluid-bed cooling tower

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7225323
Surface-to-bed heat transfer coefficients, fluidization quality, and bed pressure drops were studied experimentally using finned tubes in a shallow fluidized bed of sand. The experimental cooling tower was 5 ft square in cross section. Surface-to-bed heat transfer coefficients of approximately 30 BTU/hr-ft/sup 2/ were measured.
