A circulating fluidized bed boiler helps to hold fuels in a solid states in upwards air jets when combustion occurs. This creates a mixture of unstable solids and gasses, which can promote chemical processing.

A fluidized bed boiler is a type of industrial boiler that uses a fluidized bed of solid particles, typically sand or ash, to combust fuel efficiently at lower temperatures. The process involves blowing air through the bed, causing the solids to behave like a fluid, which enhances heat transfer and combustion efficiency. There are two main types of fluidized bed boilers: bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) boilers, where the bed bubbles up due to air flow, and circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers, where particles are continuously circulated through the system for better combustion and heat transfer. Both types are known for their ability to burn a wide variety of fuels, including biomass and waste materials, with reduced emissions.

The wall seal blower in a Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) boiler serves to maintain a proper seal between the combustion chamber and the external environment. By creating a slight negative pressure, it prevents the escape of flue gases and ensures efficient combustion by maintaining the required airflow. Additionally, it helps to enhance the overall efficiency of the boiler by optimizing the circulation of the bed material and improving the combustion process.
Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustion Boiler (AFBC boiler) is a type of operational boiler. In a AFBC boiler a little more fluidized bed combustor is added than a conventional shell boiler.
