ABSTRACT:
A method and associated apparatus for carrying out fluidized bed combustion and transferring heat produced thereby to a boiler includes providing a fluidized bed of particulate matter and introducing fuel particles thereinto, causing a portion of the fluidized bed constituents to flow upwardly through a heat exchanger which is essentially free of any obstructions to said flow, and reintroducing the portion of fluidized bed constituents which flow through the heat exchanger, back into the fluidized bed. As preferably embodied, the portion of fluidized bed constituents flows into an inlet at the bottom of the heat exchanger from a quiescent zone adjacent the combustion bed and a gas having a combustible component is introduced into the heat exchanger. Advantageously, additional fuel particles are also introduced into the heat exchanger to flow upwardly therethrough. Also advantageously, the cross-sectional area of the flow path provided in the heat exchanger is proportioned to provide an essentially uniform temperature profile across the flowing particles at any position in the heat exchanger.
