18 Fluidized Motion Conveying Systems流化床运动输送系统 1 INTRODUCTIONAlthough these conveying systems have been in use for well over one hundred years, they have been rather neglected. This is despite the fact that they are widely used for materials such as cement, fly ash and alumina, and are very economical to operate. The main problem is that they have, until recently, only been able to operate on a downward incline and as a consequence have been referred to as airassisted gravity conveyors or "air slides". They have now been developed to operate horizontally and have considerable potential for further development. 虽然这些输送系统已被使用超过100多年，它们一直没受到重视。事实上它们被广泛用于如水泥，粉煤灰和氧化铝等物料，并且运行的经济性很好。直到最近，它们的主要问题是只能倾斜向下运行，并因此被称为空气辅助重力输送机或“气动溜槽”。现在它们已发展到水平运作，并有进一步发展的巨大潜力。 Fluidized motion conveying can be regarded as an extreme form of dense phase pneumatic conveying. It is essentially an extension of this method, with the bulk particulate material made to flow along a channel. In the air-assisted gravity conveyor the channel is inclined at a shallow downward angle and the predominant factor causing flow is the gravitational force on the material. It this for this reason that air-assisted gravity conveying systems are potentially very economical to operate. 流化床运动输送可被视为超密相气力输送。实质上它是这种方式的延伸，散装颗粒料沿一个通道流动。在空气辅助重力输送机种这个通道是小角度倾斜向下，流动的主导因素是作用在物料上的重力。因为这个原因，空气辅助重力输送系统可以很经济地运行。 1.1 Conveying Technique输送技术 The technique to achieve conveying is essentially to maintain an aerated state in the bulk particulate material, from the moment that it is fed into the upper end of the channel, to the point at which it is discharged. 该技术得以实现输送的实质是维持散装颗粒物料的充气状态，从它进入通道高端处到它的排放点处。 Figure 18.1 The principle of air-assisted gravity conveying.空气辅助重力输送机的原理。 This is achieved by means of the continuous introduction of air, or other gas, at a relatively low flow rate and pressure, into a plenum chamber, in order to fluidize the material. The principle of operation is illustrated with the sketch in Figure 17.1.通过将相对低流量和压力的空
