Abstract
The present invention relates to a heat transferring device for transferring heat energy from a first gaseous flow into a second gaseous flow. The heat transferring device includes first and second circulating fluidized bed reactors. A first gaseous flow enters the first bed and carries heat transferring particles into a first cyclone. A second gaseous flow enters the second bed and carries heat transferring particles into a second cyclone. The particles accumulated at the bottom of the first cyclone, are presented with a recirculation channel to the first bed and a cross-over channel to the second bed. Likewise, the particles accumulated at the bottom of the second cyclone, are presented with a recirculation channel to the second bed and a cross-over channel to the first bed.
