<p>[quote user="Autobus Prime"]<br /><br />-The ACE 3000 was supposed to have a fluidized bed firebox -- blowing steam into the firebox to react with coal to produce gas, which would then be burned with excess air. This technology is used in power plants, and was installed in the SAR "Red Devil". <br />[/quote]</p><p>Is that what a fluidized bed is? I thought what you describe is a gas producer firebox. I thought a fluidized bed is a bed of coal and limestone with air being jetted into it from below.</p>
