RESUMO

The design of heat exchangers with gas-solid fluidized bed and immersed tubes requires previous knowledge of heat transfer involving gas-solid suspension and tube surtàce. Literature review shows that empirical factors are required when a fluidized bed exchanger is ana1yzed. This work presents an experimental study of a continuous gas-solid fluidized bed with an immersed tube where cold water flowing inside the tube is heated, in a counter flow arrangement, by solid particles with inlet temperature ftom 490 to 71 O°C. Experiments were carried out to check the influence of solids flow rate and distance between baffles immersed in a shallow fluidized bed. The solid material utilized was silica sand particles 254 J1m diameter fluidized by air in a heat exchanger 900mm length and 150mm width. Measurements were made at steady state conditions for solids mass flow rate ftom 10 to 100 kg/h and number of baffles from O to 8. Experiments without baft1es were conducted in order to ana1yze the influence of the presence of baffles in the heat transfer processes. The bed was 60 mm height and the factor u/umf varied ftom 2,9 to 4,7. Bed temperature measurements along the length of the heat exchanger was experimentally obtained and heat balances for differential control volumes of the heat exchanger were made in order to obtain the axial profile of the suspension-tube heat transfer coefficient. This coefficient was a1so obtained by a global heat balance. Resuhs showed that heat transfer coefficient increases with the solids mass flow rate and with the number of baffles suggesting that these are important tàctors to be considered in the design of such heat exchangers. Results also showed that the effectiveness of the heat exchanger increases with the number of baffles while the opposite was obtained with the increase of the solid mass flow rate
