Abstract

The background against which this novel type of high intensity combustor is being developed is described. Some of design, development and operating problems involved are reported. Conditions for satisfactory fluidisation of the particles and combustion of propane within a rotating fluidised bed are outlined. Running experience shows that stable, complete combustion of propane can be sustained at intensities exceeding 85 MW/m3 of bed particles when a centripetal acceleration of ten times gravity is applied to a shallow bed of particles without an unacceptable pressure drop.
