L'inconvénient [...] des lits fluidisés est que la souplesse nécessaire pour répondre à des variations de charge ne peut être obtenue qu'au prix d'artifices techniques. Dans la gamme 10-40 t/h, les résultats sont encourageants. Au-delà les résultats dépendent considérablement de la conception des lits qui schématiquement se répartissent en deux grandes catégories : - les lits fluidisés denses dans lesquels la souplesse de fonctionnement est obtenue principalement par compartimentage du lit; - les lits fluidisés circulants dans lesquels la souplesse tient au découplage de la combustion et de l'échange thermique. 7, record 4, French, - lit%20fluidis%C3%A9%20circulant

L'incinération en lit fluidisé circulant. La technologie du lit fluidisé circulant (LFC) est en émergence dans le domaine des déchets. Cette technologie semble pouvoir répondre aux problèmes de variations de composition et de flux que pose la gestion de ces combustibles. Le LFC peut fonctionner uniquement avec des déchets ou assurer une cocombustion charbon déchet. Il offre une bonne efficacité de combustion et limite les émissions polluantes. L'extraction rapide de la chaleur de combustion et l'implantation de la chaudière à l'extérieur du foyer permettent d'obtenir une vapeur aux caractéristiques élevées et un bon rendement énergétique. Il faut cependant préparer le déchet et faire face à une fraction de cendres volantes importante par rapport aux cendres sous foyer. 8, record 4, French, - lit%20fluidis%C3%A9%20circulant
