FLUIDIZED BED HEAT EXCHANGER AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME

摘要

A fluidized bed reactor and a method of controlling same in which a first chamber and plurality of additional chambers are formed in a housing. A particulate fuel material is supported in all of the additional chambers and air is introduced to each of the additional chambers to fluidize the material. Particulate material is introduced into one of the chambers and the chambers communicate to permit the material to flow between the chambers. Heat is extracted from one of the other additional chambers and the material upon exceeding a predetermined height flows from the other additional chambers to the first chamber before discharging via the first chamber externally of the housing.
