ABSTRACT
The paper presents the results of the experimental study on simulated application of High
Temperature Reactor (HTR) excess heat in the allothermal coal gasification to synthesis gas and
hydrogen-rich gas. The effects of application of gasification agents pre-heating was tested in
a laboratory scale fixed bed reactor installation. The installation was equipped with a specially
designed auxiliary pre-heating system for gasification agents applied (air, oxygen or steam),
simulating the utilization of the HTR excess heat. The results of the study proved the feasibility of
the utilization of the external excess heat in air and steam coal gasification.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań symulacyjnych zastosowania ciepła nadmiarowego z wysokotemperaturowego
reaktora jądrowego (HTR) w procesie allotermicznego zgazowania węgla do gazu
syntezowego i gazu bogatego w wodór. Określono wpływ wstępnego przegrzania czynnika zgazowującego
na wyniki procesu zgazowania w laboratoryjnej instalacji z reaktorem ze złożem stałym.
Instalacja została wyposażona w specjalnie do tego celu zaprojektowany układ wstępnego przegrzania
czynnika zgazowującego (powietrze, tlen lub para wodna), symulujący wykorzystanie ciepła nadmiarowego
z reaktora HTR. Wyniki badań potwierdziły możliwość wykorzystania zewnętrznego źródła
ciepła nadmiarowego w procesie zgazowania węgla powietrzem i para wodną.
