A recuperative and conductive heat transfer system ( â) that is operative to effect therewith the heating within the second portion ( â) of the heat transfer system ( â) of a âworking fluidâ flowing through the heat s transfer surfaces ( â) as a consequence of the transfer thereto by conduction of heat from a multiplicity of regenerative solids ( â). The multiplicity of regenerative solids ( â) derive their heat from a recuperation thereby within the first portion ( â) of the heat transfer system ( â) from either an internally generated or an externally generated source of heat ( â).

A sorbent conditioning and direct feed apparatus is provided for direct feeding of a conditioned solid sorbent to a combustor. The sorbent conditioning and direct feed apparatus includes raw solid sorbent storages means , particle size reducing means for reducing the particle size of solid sorbent supplied thereto from a relatively larger coarse particle size to a relatively smaller fine particle size, metering means for metering the supply of raw solid sorbent from the raw solid sorbent storage means to the particle size reducing means , and transport means for transporting solid sorbent which has been conditioned by the particle size reducing means to the combustor , whereby conditioned solid sorbent is fed to the combustor without any intermediate storage of the solid sorbent between the raw solid sorbent storage means and the transport means.

A system for reducing carbon dioxide emissions from gasses generated in burning fossil fuel, includes a vessel, separator and reheater. The upper portion of the vessel receives downward flowing, first type solid particles capable of absorbing heat from upward flowing gasses and second type solid particles capable of capturing carbon dioxide from the gasses. The separator separates the second type solid particles with the captured carbon dioxide from the gasses discharged from the first vessel discharge, and directs the separated second type solid particles with the captured carbon dioxide to a separator discharge. The reheater directs the first type solid particles and the second type solid particles with the captured carbon dioxide in a downwardly flow to a first reheater discharge, such that heat from the first type solid particles causes the captured carbon dioxide to be released from the second type solid particles.

A continuous moving bed solar steam generation and storage system is provided to generate steam for production processes after loss or reduction of received solar energy. The system includes a receiver that receives a flowing stream of particulate material that absorbs solar radiant energy as it passes through beams of the energy received from collectors. The heated stream of material passes into a first chamber to heat a tube bundle therein. Heat from the particulate material is transferred to the bundle , evaporating the water to generate, reheat (RH) and/or superheat (SH) steam. The cooled material passes to a second chamber. The material is drained from the second chamber and carried to a cyclone in the receiver. The material drains from the cyclone to complete the flow cycle.

A moving bed heat exchanger () includes a vessel having an upper portion (), a lower portion () with a floor () including a discharge opening therein, and an intermediate portion (). The vessel directs a gravity flow of hot ash particles () received thereby from the upper portion () through the intermediate portion () to the floor () of the lower portion () of the vessel, where the hot ash particles () are collected. Tubes in the intermediate portion () of the vessel direct a flow of working fluid in a direction substantially orthogonal to the direction of the gravity flow of the hot ash particles () through the intermediate portion () of the vessel such that heat from the hot ash particles () is transferred to the working fluid thereby cooling the hot ash particles ().

An air infiltration abatement system () for a power plant () includes a recirculated flue gas source (), a recirculated flue gas supply line () connected to the recirculated flue gas source () and a power plant component. The power plant component has a leakage area in fluid communication with the recirculated flue gas supply line (). The recirculated flue gas source () receives a combustion flue gas () from an oxygen fired boiler () of the power plant (), and provides the combustion flue gas () to the recirculated flue gas supply line (). The recirculated flue gas supply line () supplies the combustion flue gas () as a recirculated flue gas () to the oxygen fired boiler () via the leakage area of the power plant component.
