Abstract
A gas turbine engine power plant having a coal burning fluidized bed utilized as the heating source for the power plant. The fluidized bed comprises inerts and coal in which is immersed a temperature sensitive device, the signal from which is used to control the supply of coal to the bed to thereby maintain the bed at a predetermined temperature and to limit the bed temperature to a predetermined maximum value. The bed can be fluidized by the flow of compressed air from the compressor of the gas turbine engine power plant and the whole of the compressor delivery air flows through the bed in direct chemical contact with the bed materials and is then cleaned prior to delivery to the turbines of the power plant from which it is discharged to atmosphere.
