Cooled gas distribution plate, thermal bridge breaking system, and related methods

摘要

A fluidized bed reactor system is disclosed. The system may be used in connection with a locally cooled gas distribution plate, which may control the reaction and increase system efficiency. A thermal bridge breaking system for disrupting heat transfer across the reactor is also disclosed. The thermal bridge breaking system may be provided in connection with, or separate from, the gas distribution plate cooling system.

主权项

1. A gas distribution plate for use in connection with a fluidized bed reactor, the gas distribution plate comprising:
an upper surface; a lower surface; a first gas injector extending to a first orifice in the upper surface, the gas injector configured to allow gas to pass from an area adjacent the lower surface to an area adjacent the upper surface; and a cooling system configured to cool a first portion of the upper surface, the first portion adjacent the first orifice and wherein the first portion comprises a ring zone around the first orifice.
