Testing of a very high-temperature heat exchanger in a pilot-scale slagging furnace system

摘要

The University of North Dakota Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) is participating with United Technologies Research Center *UTRC) and UTRC subcontractors in Phase II of the Combustion 2000 high-performance power systems project, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. EERC efforts have included laboratory- and bench-scale testing of materials used for the construction of key subsystems for a high-temperature advanced furnace (HITAF); testing methods to reduce problems related to coal slag flow and corrosion; and the design, construction, and operation of a pilot-scale slagging furnace system (SFS) to demonstrate essential HItAF subsystems.
