Secondary Air Injection Effect on Cold Flow in a Laboratory-scale Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustor

실험실 규모 순환유동층 연소로에서 2차공기 주입이 냉간유동에 미치는 영향

Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustor(CFBC) has been used for the incineration of waste sewage sludge and for the power generation. In this study hydrodynamic characteristics of two phase flow have been studied in a riser section of CFBC. A lab-scale riser is designed and SiC (Geldart type B) is used for solid particles. Experiments are performed by controlling the fluidization parameters including superficial velocity and secondary air to primary air ratio for determination of solid holdup profiles in the riser. Superficial velocities of each fluidization regime are well agreed with results predicted by a theoretical model. The results show that the axial solid holdup distributions calculated by measuring differential static pressures in the riser are found to show a basic profile described by a simple exponential function. Our flow regime during experiments mainly belongs to fast fluidization regime for particle size of 300${\mu}m$. As the SA/PA ratio increases, solid holdup in the lower dense region of the riser increases.
