In this study, effects of air staging on wall-to-bed heat transfer were investigated in a laboratory scale circulating fluidized bed (0.23 m ID, 7.6 m high). The bed was operated under ambient conditions with silica sand particles (d(p) = 89 mu m, rho(p) = 2650 kg m(-3)). Two different designs of secondary air (SA) injectors were used for air staging: radial and tangential. Bed-to-wall heat transfer measurements were carried out at three elevations above the SA injection port. The results indicate that similar to non-SA operation, the heat transfer with air staging depends strongly on the cross-sectional average suspension density. Tangential secondary injection was found to increase the bed-to-wall heat transfer above the SA injection port significantly due to increased suspension density compared with non-SA operation.
