ABSTRACT:
A fluidized bed assembly, such as an ash cooler, includes first and second fluidized bed chambers each having a bottom portion and side walls. Fluidizing gas is introduced into the bottom portions to fluidize particulates within the chambers. A flow equalizer (such as a barrier having a number of openings associated with it) separates the chambers and provides a substantial uniform flow of particulates from the first chamber to the second chamber so that no dead spots or corners form in the chambers adjacent the flow equalizer. Heat exchanger components are typically provided in the barrier for circulating heat exchange fluid through the barrier. Also, heat exchangers are provided in one or both of the chambers to cool the particulates. The particulates mix in the second chamber, and after cooling may be recirculated to a gasifier/combustor for supplying ash to the first chamber. A classifier chamber is connected between the reactor and the first chamber. Fluidizing gas may be returned from the chambers to the reactor.
