Popis: Abstract Using a newly developed experimental setup, the features and advantages of an autothermal single-casing atmospheric subbituminous coal fluidized bed air-blown gasifier, combining a combustion and gasification section, and mixing the dispersed phase (inert material, char) and heat exchange between them through an annular transfer device, have been revealed. To increase the efficiency of the gasifier, an experimental-computational method was developed find the conditions for optimal operation, combining changing the annular flow’s geometry and regulating the primary air for gasification. A simple and reliable multizone thermodynamic calculation model makes it possible to predict the composition of char and syngas in the gasification section with acceptable accuracy. This method confirmed that a two-section fluidized bed gasifier can provide efficient gasification of solid fuels and is suitable for use in small-scale cogeneration plants. Syngas with a heating value of 3.6–4.5 MJ/m3 and CGE of 38.2%–42.3% was obtained in the experimental setup without optimizing the primary air flow rate. With optimization, the indicators increased to the heating value of syngas of 5.20–5.34 MJ/m3 and CGE of 42.5%–50.0%. With heat regeneration of 0.8, CGE increases to 70%.
