The Measurement of Thermal Performance for a Fluidized Bed
H. R. Goshayshi, Azad University of Mashad
ABSTRACT:
Abstract
Experiments have been performed to measure the thermal performance, packed density, and velocity of a fluidized bed cooling tower of 280 mm diameter.
Hollow plastic spheres of three different sizes, with diameters of 20, 25 and 37 mm and particle densities ranging from 70 to 325 kg/m3 were investigated as packing materials, and results for static bed heights of 100 mm and 300 mm are reported. Measurements were obtained at an approximately constant inlet hot water temperature of around 42°C and cover a range of water mass flux from 0.3 to 3.6 kg/sm2. Liquid/gas ratios varied between 0.1 and 5.5. Results for thermal performance are presented showing the effects on the cooling tower characteristic, KaV/L, of the different packing elements and of varying water flow rate, air flow rate and the height of the hot water distributor above the bed. This provides a useful semi experimental relation, in the area generally lacking in design and performance data.
