Abstract

A specially constructed heat pipe for use in fluidized bed combustors. Two distinct coatings are spray coated onto a heat pipe casing constructed of low thermal expansion metal, each coating serving a different purpose. The first coating forms aluminum oxide to prevent hydrogen permeation into the heat pipe casing, and the second coating contains stabilized zirconium oxide to provide abrasion resistance while not substantially affecting the heat transfer characteristics of the system.

A specially constructed heat pipe is described for use in fluidized bed combustors. Two distinct coatings are spray coated onto a heat pipe casing constructed of low thermal expansion metal, each coating serving a different purpose.

Clean coal power system

Patent Eastman, G Y

A coal burning power plant which produces electricity at high efficiency and with very low levels of atmospheric contamination. A fluidized bed of limestone and coal is used to burn the coal with little air pollution, and a large quantity of specially constructed heat pipes transfer the heat to a closed cycle gas turbine with very low temperature loss. The preferred embodiments of the heat pipes are constructed with steel casing, have a thin aluminum oxide layer on their surfaces to prevent hydrogen permeation into the casing and have a plasma sprayed coating of ceramic on the portion within themore »« less
The relative erosion-corrosion resistance of commercial thermal sprayed coatings in a simulated circulating fluidized bed combustor environment

Conference Wang, B Q ; Luer, K

Bed ash and fly ash samples were retrieved from operating circulating fluidized bed combustor (CFBC) boilers firing three different fuels: anthracite culm, bituminous coal, and biomass. Using these materials, the relative erosion-corrosion resistance of three commercially available thermal sprayed coatings and one weld overlay specimen was determined in an elevated temperature erosion tester. Erosion test conditions attempted to simulate the erosive conditions found at the refractory/bare-tube interface on the combustor waterwall and in the convection pass of the superheater tube banks of a CFBC. The coatings included DenSys DS-200 (a proprietary HVOF Cr{sub 3}C{sub 2}-NiCr cermet coating), Rokide C (amore »« less
Hydrogen-tolerant heat pipes for biomodal systems

Book Anderson, W G ; Hartenstine, J R ; North, M T ; ...

Bimodal space nuclear systems which combine both thermal propulsion and electric power generation capabilities in a single integrated power and propulsion platform have recently emerged as strong candidates for future military and commercial space applications. For propulsion, the reactor heats hydrogen which is exhausted through a nozzle to provide propulsive thrust. Thermal energy from the reactor is also converted to electricity by in-core or out-of-core energy converters. Hydrogen permeation must be considered in heat pipes designed for bimodal systems. Potential effects include depriming of the heat pipe arteries, blockage of the heat pipe condenser, hydride formation, and effects on themore »« less
INVESTIGATION OF HIGH TEMPERATURE RESISTANT MATERIALS. Summary Report No. 1 for March 15, 1955 to October 31, 1957

Technical Report Walton, J D ; Poulos, N E ; Mason, C R

Tables of melting points and densities are given for refractory metals, hard metals, and oxides. Coating of Mosheet substrates with Al, Au, Ni, Pt, Rh, and Si as single films by evaporation, sputtering, or electroplating is described. Methods of applying and forming thick protective coatings for high temperature service are arc evaporation, hot dipping, flow, cementation vapor decomposition, and thermite fired ceramic coatings. An attempt to apply thick Al coatings to glass, Cu, and Mo using the arc evaporator is described. Hot dipping, flow, cementation, and vapor decomposition were used to form the silicides of Mo on the surfaces ofmore »« less
