Abstract
Experiments of dense-phase pneumatic conveying of pulverized coal were carried out in a test facility with a conveying pressure up to 4 MPa. The influence of fluidization nitrogen flow rate, the flow rate of supplementary nitrogen, and the pressure difference between sending hopper and receiving hopper on the solids to gas ratio and the solid mass flow rate was investigated. Test results indicate that with the increase in fluidization nitrogen flow rate, the solid mass flow rate increases, and the solids to gas ratio increases at first and then declines. When the fluidization of pulverized coal in the sending vessel becomes intensive, with the increase in supplementary nitrogen flow rate, the solids to gas ratio declines and the solid mass flow rate increases. And the solid mass flow rate increases linearly with the increase in pressure difference between two hoppers. The experimental results provide a database for the design and operation of a dense-phase pneumatic conveying system.
