Abstract

The final reheater in a circulating fluidized bed combustion system which is located in a separate fluidized bed heat exchanger and which would be subjected to hot solids without any cooling after a blackout or turbine is cooled by bleeding a portion of the steam from the superheater outlet through a normally closed high pressure drop valve and into the final reheater. A valve downstream from the final reheater is also opened to permit flow.
