Abstract
The invention concerns a fluidized bed reactor (1) made up of tubed membrane walls (2) cooled by a coolant fluid, the said walls surrounding a combustion chamber (10) and comprising tubed extension panels (3) through which flows a coolant fluid by single pass forced circulation. According to the invention the extension panels (3) are paired two by two.
Claims20
A fluidized bed reactor having a top, said fluidized bed reactor comprising:
- a fluidized bed;
- tubed membrane walls cooled by a coolant fluid, said tubed membrane walls defining side walls of a combustion chamber having a bottom;
- at least one partition wall extending between parallel tubed membrane walls to divide the combustion chamber;
- and
- tubed extension panels extending within the combustion chamber through which flows a coolant fluid by single pass forced circulation, said extension panels are paired to form a double wall extension, the tubed extension panels including tubes and membranes each tube is contacted by a membrane,
- wherein the tubed membrane walls and the tubed extension panels are exposed to heated material of the fluidized bed on only one side,
- wherein said extension panels are arranged on and extend from the at least one partition wall to a point within an inner area of the combustion chamber between the partition wall and one of the parallel tubed membrane walls, and
- wherein the at least one partition wall is a double wall partition formed of tubed panels paired together.
