A finely divided or powdered solid can behave like a fluid when air or any other gas is being blown up through it sufficiently fast. The flowing air supports the weight of each grain of the solid, with the effect that the grains move and mix freely rather than becoming packed together. [The fluidised-bed combustion] principle is used to bring about the highly efficient combustion of coal of all kinds and other fuels such as that obtained from common refuse. 6, record 2, English, - fluidized%2Dbed%20combustion

Combustion en lit fluidisé. Il s’agit, sous sa forme la plus simple, d’un lit de matériaux granulaires tels que charbon, cendre et sable ou calcaire, maintenu en suspension par un courant d’air chaud, créant un lit avec les apparences d’un liquide à l'ébullition et présentant des propriétés semblables à celles d’un liquide. 4, record 2, French, - combustion%20en%20lit%20fluidis%C3%A9

Dans d’autres appareils à charbon pulvérisé, le combustible est projeté dans le courant gazeux, à fort excès d’air, qui s’élève au-dessus d’une petite grille, ou bien mis en suspension dans l'air également, au-dessus d’une grille(combustion en lit fluidisé). Ils sont d’autre part les foyers-cyclones, dans lesquels les grains de combustible sont entraînés par un mouvement giratoire très rapide, avec l'air de combustion fortement chauffé, dans une capacité cylindrique au tronconique de dimensions relativement faibles, brûlant à la surface du lit de scories en fusion qui tapissent cette capacité; les scories s’écoulent à l'état liquide au fond de la chambre secondaire, dans laquelle s’achève la combustion des gaz. 1, record 4, French, - foyer%2Dcyclone
