Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluidized-bed gasification furnace in a gasification and slagging combustion system for gasifying combustibles, delivering produced gas and char into a slagging combustion furnace, and combusting the gas and char at a high temperature and melting ash in the slagging combustion furnace. The fluidized-bed gasification furnace includes a fluidized bed (11) having a substantially rectangular horizontal cross section in which combustibles is gasified in a circulating flow of the fluidized medium, and at least one incombustibles discharging portion (18) defined at at least one side of the fluidized bed for discharging the fluidized medium and incombustibles accompanying the fluidized medium.

Abstract: The slagging combustion furnace (10) of the present invention includes a combustion chamber (11, 12, 13) for combusting a combustible gas containing ash and melting the ash, and a slag discharge port (17) for discharging molten slag (20) produced by melting the ash. The slag discharge port (17) is formed by refractory material which is replaceable.

Abstract: An internal recycling type fluidized bed boiler includes a primary fluidized bed incinerating chamber constructed by an air diffusion plate, and an inclined partition wall provided above a portion of the diffusion plate where the mass flow of the air injected from the diffusion plate is greater than that from another portion so as to interfere with the upward flow of the fluidizing air injected from that portion and deflect it towards the portion above the diffusion plate where the mass flow of gas injected is smaller. A thermal energy recovery chamber is formed between the inclined partition wall and a side wall of an incinerator. The inclined partition wall is inclined by 10.degree.-60.degree. relative to the horizontal and is arranged such that the length of its projection in the horizontal direction is 1/6-1/2 of the horizontal length of the bottom of the incinerator bottom.

Abstract: A control circuit (B) is adapted the steam pressure at a boiler drum (17) which receives heat from a incineration chamber (3) in a fluidized bed type boiler (A, C) to be correlated to the thermal energy to be recovered and transferred to the boiler drum and to improve a responsiveness for the suppressed control of increase or decrease of the steam pressure caused by variation of a steam load. The velocity of heat recovery is controlled in accordance with the steam pressure in the boiler drum (17) which is detected by a pressure gauge (20b) and a combustibles supply unit (12, 13, 14) for supplying combustibles to the boilers (A, C) is also controlled accordingly.

Abstract: A thermal reactor which utilizes a fluidizing bed includes a thermal energy recovery chamber having a heat exchanger therein. Fluidizing medium disposed in the fluidizing bed is supplied into the thermal energy recovery chamber due to circulation of the fluidizing medium within the fluidizing bed. The fluidizing medium is passed through the thermal energy recovery chamber such that thermal energy present in the fluidizing medium is transferred to the heat exchanger.

Abstract: A thermal reactor of fluidizing bed type includes a thermal recovering arrangement. A part of a fluidizing medium is supplied into the thermal energy recovering arrangement so as to pass therethrough, whereby; thermal energy is recovered by a heat exchanger disposed in the recovering arrangement.
