3.PRINCIPLE OF FBC
4.MECHANISM OF FLUIDIZED BED COMBUSTION
Temperature of bed should be at least equal to ignition
temperature of coal.
Bed temperature must not increase melting point of Ash.
Equilibrium temperature achieved through transfer
tubes immersed in bed and walls of combustor.
Gas velocity must be maintained between fluidization
velocity and the particle entrainment velocity.
Temperature of bed should be at least equal to ignition
temperature of coal.
Bed temperature must not increase melting point of Ash.
Equilibrium temperature achieved through transfer
tubes immersed in bed and walls of combustor.
Gas velocity must be maintained between fluidization
velocity and the particle entrainment velocity.
5.FIXING, BUBBLING AND FAST FLUIDIZED BEDS
As the velocity of a gas flowing through a bed of particles increases, a value is reaches when the bed fluidizes and bubbles form as in a boiling liquid. At higher velocities the bubbles disappear; and the solids are rapidly blown out of the bed and must be recycled to maintain a stable system.

At high fluidizing gas velocities in which a fast recycling bed of fine material is superimposed on a bubbling bed of larger particles .
The combustion temperature is controlled by rate of recycling of fine material.
Hot fine material is separated from the flue gas by a cyclone and is partially cooled in a separate low velocity fluidized bed heat exchanger, where the heat is given up to the steam.

Heat energy is utilized by water in the water walls and gets converted into steam
Flue gases are collected by a cyclone separator.
It separates the mixture into pure flue gas, ash & unburnt coal particles.
The unburnt coal particles are again re-circulated.

41. DISADVANTAGES OF FBC
The need for fuel particle size to be less than 300mm.
A relatively high pressure-drop is required to fluidize a bed of
granular particles. The pressure drop is proportional to the weight
of the bed, but after incipient fluidization rises only slowly with
the gas velocity.
The flue gas carries a high dust load.
Although the operation of a bed is basically stable and the evolution
Of temperature is slow the problem of fluidized bed regulation and
control is not straightforward.

operating temperature, generally to a value of 850-950 °C, but
sometimes more.
The operating experience with fluidized bed combustors is still
limited. Wear up on submerged surfaces, the occurrence of attrition
and elutriation upon bed particles, the evolution of the particle size
distribution and of the composition of the bed material cannot be
predicted with confidence.
