Different Exit Effects between a Combined Riser with Variable Exit Constraints and a Conventional Riser with Weak Exit Constraints

Abstract:

A large-scale cold model experimental setup of combined riser with variable constraint exit (CRVCE) was established. The axial and radial distributions of solids holdup and particle velocity, under different operating conditions, were investigated experimentally, and the results were compared with conventional riser (CR). Experimental results showed that, the exit restrictive effect of combined riser with variable constraint exit was weak when particle circulation flux and static bed height in upper fluidized bed were lower, while it turned to be strong when superficial gas velocity and static bed height in upper fluidized bed were higher. Under the same conditions, averaged cross-sectional solids holdup of CRVCE was characterized by C type distribution when article circulation flux was higher, while that of CR with weak constraint exit was characterized by linear distribution. In axial direction, averaged cross-sectional particle velocity of CRVCE changed in order: acceleration-constant-decrease velocity, while that of CR changed in another: acceleration-constant velocity. The maximum of local solids holdup value of CRVCE appeared at the dimensionless radius position r/R=0.7, while that of CR appeared in the wall region. Their local particle velocities were similar in the core region, while local particle velocity of CRVCE was lower than that of CR in the annular region.
