Title: Fluidised bed furnace
Inventor: KOSTUCH JACEK ANTONI
IPC: F27B15/16
Filed: 1996-07-23
Abstract: Hot fluidising gas is introduced into a bed of material to be treated along the line of arrow "X". Below the bed it passes through a ring of blades 21, which are at an angle to the vertical in order to introduce a toroidal, circular flow to the gas and particles. More particles can be added through the radial tubes 23. In order to avoid the build-up of fused solid on the blades 21, the zone of greatest heating is caused to be well above them. To this effect, fuel is introduced via pipe 49 and radial pipes 45, which are angled upwards at their outer ends, so clearing the blades 21. Treated particles are led up cone 35 to cyclone 41. To avoid over-heating of blocks 13, 45, coolant gas may be passed down pipe 33.
