Fluidized bed waste heat recovery system. Annual report, 1 October 1981-31 March 1983

Description: An agreement was reached in July 1982 with the Aluminum Company of America regarding the Massena operations in New York. Since that agreement, a specification has been published which characterizes the waste stream and includes ALCOA, DOE and Aerojet design requirements. Installation of the test unit has been engineered in preliminary form by ALCOA in close liaison with Aerojet and details are being established. A subcontract has been awarded for the design and fabrication of the fluid bed heat… more

Evaluation of fluid bed heat exchanger optimization parameters. Final report

Description: Uncertainty in the relationship of specific bed material properties to gas-side heat transfer in fluidized beds has inhibited the search for optimum bed materials and has led to over-conservative assumptions in the design of fluid bed heat exchangers. An experimental program was carried out to isolate the effects of particle density, thermal conductivity, and heat capacitance upon fluid bed heat transfer. A total of 31 tests were run with 18 different bed material loads on 12 material types; pa… more

Study of gelled LNG. Final technical report

Description: Research involved the characterization of gelled LNG (GELNG) with respect to process, flow, and use properties and an examination of the degree of safety enhancement attainable by gelation. The investigation included (1) an experimental examination of gel properties and gel safety characteristics as well as (2) an analytical study involving the economics and preliminary design of an industrial scale gelation system. The safety-related criterion for successful application of gelled LNG is the su… more

Multi-Megawatt Organic Rankine Engine power plant (MORE). Phase IA final report: system design of MORE power plant for industrial energy conservation emphasizing the cement industry

Description: The Multi-Megawatt Organic Rankine Engine (MORE) program is directed towards the development of a large, organic Rankine power plant for energy conservation from moderate temperature industrial heat streams. Organic Rankine power plants are ideally suited for use with heat sources in the temperature range below 1100/sup 0/F. Cement manufacture was selected as the prototype industry for the MORE system because of the range of parameters which can be tested in a cement application. This includes … more

High-temperature-staged fluidized-bed combustion (HITS), bench scale experimental test program conducted during 1980. Final report

Description: An experimental program was conducted to evaluate the process feasibility of the first stage of the HITS two-stage coal combustion system. Tests were run in a small (12-in. ID) fluidized bed facility at the Energy Engineering Laboratory, Aerojet Energy Conversion Company, Sacramento, California. The first stage reactor was run with low (0.70%) and high (4.06%) sulfur coals with ash fusion temperatures of 2450/sup 0/ and 2220/sup 0/F, respectively. Limestone was used to scavenge the sulfur. The … more

Multi-use geothermal energy system with augmentation for enhanced utilization. Non-electric application of geothermal energy in Susanville, California. Second quarterly technical report, April 1-June 30, 1978

Description: The objectives of this study are to determine the economic and technical feasibility of using the low to moderate temperature geothermal resource in the Susanville anomaly in a district heating/cooling system for public or private users and in a Park of Commerce developed in conjunction with the resources development. The Susanville resource temperature is known to be a minimum of 150/sup 0/F and is projected to be a maximum of 239/sup 0/F. Because these factors all contribute to major capital … more

Multi-use geothermal energy system with augmentation for enhanced utilization. Non-electric application of geothermal energy in Susanville, California. Final report

Description: Aeroject Energy Conversion Company has completed a site specific engineering and economic study of multi-use, augmented geothermal space/water heating and cooling systems in cooperation with the City of Susanville, California. The overall benefits to the City of Susanville, in both the public and private sectors, of using low temperature (150/sup 0/F to 240/sup 0/F) geothermal resources are explored. Options considered, alone and in combination, include heat pumps, fossil-fuel peaking, user loa… more

High temperature fluid-bed heat recovery for aluminum melting furnace

Description: The objective of the study was to establish whether technical problems would be encountered in increasing the inlet temperature of the fluid bed heat exchanger unit at Alcoa above the 1100/sup 0/F target of the current contract. Specifically, the temperature range of up to, and potentially above, 1600/sup 0/F were investigated to establish the benefits of higher temperature, trade offs required, and plans to achieve that technology goal. The benefits are tabulated and are very significant, part… more

Improved liquid/solids handling module. Final report 2321:01, 1 September 1979-31 October 1980

Description: A Mobile Liquid/Solids handling (L/S) unit was constructed that is the active element for a low cost Advanced Primary Geothermal Heat Exchanger (APEX), presently under development. The L/S system incorporates two alternating hydrocyclone-accumulator tank combinations and an injection pump. Sand particles are injected into the main flow and then separated and recirculated at capture efficiencies of greater than 99%. The system was tested at varying flowrates, solids concentrations, and particle … more

Hydrodynamic/kinetic reactions in liquid-dominated geothermal systems. Final report

Description: A mobile geothermal well-site test unit at the Mercer 2 well in South Brawley, California (Imperial Valley), was constructed and tested. The equipment controlled, monitored, and recorded all process conditions of single- and dual-flash power cycles. Single- and two-phase flashed brine effluents were flowed through piping component test sections to provide hydrodynamic/kinetic data for scale formation. The unit operated at flowrates in excess of 200 gpm and is designed to accommodate flowrates u… more
