Record 2 1993-03-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemistry
  • Biomass Energy
CONT

spouted bed gasifier.... a single-chamber air-fed gasifier operated on a cyclical basis, to yield a high calorific-value gas essentially uncontaminated by carbon dioxide or nitrogen. Wood chips or wood pellets are fed on top of a bed of hot sand in the reactor, and are then mixed by spouting the bed using steam. Some gasification occurs during this phase, but most takes place during the ensuing "cooking" phase during which the bed is static. When the temperature has fallen to a suitably low value air is admitted to burn the char and raise the temperature of the sand to its original value. Wood is then added to begin a new cycle.

  • Geophysics
  • Geothermal Power Plants
CONT

The use of binary fluids need not of course be limited only to the water phase of wet fluids : it could equally be applied to both the steam and hot water phases simultaneously.

Subject field(s)

  • Geological Research and Exploration
CONT

... Total flow cycle... The difficulties of extracting a maximum of heat from the hot water phase of wet field fluids has led to the total flow concept in which both the steam and the hot water are subjected to the full available heat drop as limited only by the supply pressure.

Subject field(s)
  • Energy Transformation
  • Effects of Heat (Energy Transfer)
  • Geological Research and Exploration
OBS

Ideally, the maximum power would be extracted from the hot water phase in a wet field by using an infinite number of flash vessels connected in cascade(multiflash) or at any rate by using one flash vessel for every turbine stage; but such a procedure would be an economic absurdity. It can, however, sometimes pay to provide two flash vessels.
