Abstract
A grate construction for a fluidized bed boiler, the boiler including a furnace defined by substantially vertical walls in which a fluidized bed of solid particles is maintained, a windbox under the furnace in the lower part of the boiler, a grate construction being positioned between the furnace and the windbox and forming an upper surface of the windbox, for suspending the fluidized bed in the furnace and an outlet duct for withdrawing from the boiler solid material removed from the grate. The grate construction includes a device for distributing fluidizing air or other equivalent gas from the windbox into the furnace and a device for removing coarse solids from the grate construction. The device for removing coarse solids includes a plurality of essentially vertical pockets projecting from the grate construction into the windbox and opening into the furnace, the horizontal cross section of the pockets at the grate level being formed as a longitudinal slit and the vertical cross section parallel to the longitudinal direction of the slits being downwards tapering inwardly.
