Abstract
An improved fluidizing apparatus includes a gas distribution plate which is supported by support means located below the level of the gas distribution plate. The support means comprises beam members extending across the interior of the vessel and a number of rods standing upright on the beam members, with the gas distribution plate placed on the uppermost ends of the rods. The support means can also include annular members made integral with the beam members and/or a projection or projections projecting inward from the inner wall surface of the vessel. A number of rods can stand upright on the annular members.
Claims25
In a fluidizing apparatus of the type provided with a vessel, a gas distribution plate arranged horizontally within said vessel, and means for supporting said gas distribution plate, said support means being located at a position below the level of said gas distribution plate, a fluidizing apparatus wherein said support means comprises beam members extending across the interior of said vessel and rods standing upward on said beam members so as to extend as far as said level of said gas distribution plate, so that said gas distribution plate is supported on the uppermost ends of the rods, each of said beam members having a cross-sectional configuration such that the thickness thereof is gradually reduced toward the bottom thereof.
In a fluidizing apparatus of the type provided with a vessel, a gas distribution plate arranged horizontally within said vessel, and means for supporting said gas distribution plate, said support means being located at a position below the level of said gas distribution plate, a fluidizing apparatus wherein said support means comprises beam members extending across the interior of said vessel and rods standing upward on said beam members so as to extend as far as said level of said gas distribution plate, so that said gas distribution plate is supported on the uppermost ends of the rods, and said beam members intersect orthogonally.
In a fluidizing apparatus of the type provided with a vessel, a gas distribution plate arranged horizontally within said vessel, means for supporting said gas distribution plate, said support means being located at a position below the level of said gas distribution plate, a fluidizing apparatus wherein said support means comprises beam members extending acorss the interior of said vessel, one or more annular members made integral with said beam members, and a number of rods standing upward on said beam members and said annular members so as to extend as far as said level of said gas distribution plate, so that said gas distribution plate is supported on the uppermost ends of the rods.
