Abstract
A fluidized bed reactor and method of operating same in which a bed of particulate material including fuel is formed in a furnace section. A stripper/cooler is located adjacent the furnace section for receiving particulate material from the furnace section. The particulate material is passed first to the stripper section where air is passed through the particulate material at a velocity sufficient to entrain relatively fine portions of the particulate material. A plurality of spaced baffle members are disposed in the stripper section for impacting with the entrained particulate material to separate it from the air. The particulate material in the stripper section is passed to the cooler section in which air is passed through the particulate material at a velocity sufficient to cool the particulate material and entrain relatively fine portions of the particulate material. A second plurality of spaced baffle members are disposed in the cooler section for impacting with the entrained particulate material to separate it from the air. A drain pipe registers with the cooler section for removing the particulate material from the reactor.
