Abstract
A heat exchanger system includes a first heat exchanger followed by a second heat exchanger disposed in a dense fluidized bed, the second heat exchanger being made up of a plurality of nests of tubes disposed along the path of the particles in suspension in the dense fluidized bed. The second heat exchanger is provided with at least two feeds situated on either side of its center, each of the feeds receives a distinct mixture of the input fluid and of the output fluid of the first heat exchanger, so that the temperature of the fluid fed into each of the nests is an increasing function of the distance between it and the inlet via which the particles are fed into the dense fluidized bed.
Claims8
A heat exchanger system comprising;
- a first heat exchanger having an inlet and an outlet through which a fluid is input and output, respectively;
- a second heat exchanger disposed in a dense fluidized bed, and connected downstream from said first heat exchanger, the second heat exchanger including:
- an inlet through which particles are fed into the dense fluidized bed in suspension,
- a plurality of nests of tubes disposed perpendicularly along the path of the particles in suspension in the dense fluidized bed, and
- at least two feeds situated on either side of a center of said second heat exchanger, each of said feeds receiving a predetermined mixture of the input fluid and of the output fluid of said first heat exchanger, so that a temperature of a fluid fed into each of said nests from said first heat exchanger is an increasing function of an increasing distance between each of said nests and the inlet via which the particles are fed into the dense fluidized bed;
- and
- wherein an output temperature at an outlet of each of the nests, is substantially equal.
