Pressurized fluidized furnace equipment
Pressurized fluidized furnace equipment includes a fluidized bed furnace ( 1 ) that pressurizes combustion air (B) and combusts a material to be treated (A) while fluidizing the same; an air preheater ( 3 ) that exchanges heat between a combustion exhaust gas (C) discharged from the fluidized bed furnace ( 1 ) and the combustion air (B); a dust collector ( 4 ) that removes dust from the combustion exhaust gas (C); and first and second superchargers ( 5, 6 ) to which the combustion exhaust gas (C), having undergone the heat exchange in the air preheater ( 3 ) and the dust removal in the dust collector ( 4 ), is supplied to generate compressed air (D, E). The first compressed air (D) generated in the first supercharger ( 5 ) is supplied as the combustion air (B) to the fluidized bed furnace ( 1 ) by way of the air preheater ( 3 ), and the second compressed air (E) generated in the second supercharger ( 6 ) is made to have a higher pressure than that of the first compressed air (D). Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the equipment from having more superchargers than is necessary for normal use although a plurality of first and second superchargers are provided, and to efficiently use the surplus combustion exhaust gas.
