ABSTRACT:
A fluidized bed combustion method utilizing fine and coarse sorbent feed to control the temperature of a cooling fluid such as water or steam circulating through a fluid flow circuit of a fluidized bed combustor. Fuel particles, such as coal, along with relatively fine and relatively coarse sorbent material, such as limestone, are fed into the furnace section of a fluidized bed reactor. The fuel is combusted, and a fluidizing gas such as air is introduced into the furnace section. Flue gases and entrained material pass from the furnace section, and the entrained material is separated from the flue gases. The separated entrained material passes to a recycle heat exchange section and is cooled before being passed to the furnace section. The recycle heat exchange section is provided with heat exchange surfaces which form part of a fluid flow circuit to transfer heat from the separated entrained material to a cooling fluid such as water or steam which is circulating through the circuit. The ratio of fine to coarse sorbent feed is controlled to control the heat transfer from the separated entrained material in the recycle heat exchange section to the cooling fluid, thereby controlling the temperature of the cooling fluid and enabling the temperature of the cooling fluid to be held constant over a range of fluidized bed reactor loads.
