摘要：: Disclosed is an apparatus for controlling heat for rapid thermal processing of carbonaceous material or wood to produce charcoal. The apparatus comprises a reactor vessel; a reheater in fluid communication with the reactor to receive inorganic heat carrier particles and char. The reheater is configured to form a fluidized bubbling bed that comprises an oxygen-containing gas, the inorganic heat carrier particles, and the char and to operate at combustion conditions effective to burn the char into ash and heat the inorganic heat carrier particles to form heated inorganic particles; An inorganic particle cooler is in fluid communication with the reheater and comprising a shell portion and a tube portion that is disposed in the shell portion. The inorganic particle cooler is configured such that the tube portion receives a portion of the heated inorganic particles and the shell portion receives a cooling medium for indirect heat exchange with the portion of the heated inorganic particles to form first partially-cooled heated inorganic particles that are fluidly communicated to the reheater and a heated cooling medium comprising heated air. The reheater and the inorganic particle cooler are cooperatively configured to combine the first partially-cooled heated inorganic particles with a second portion of the heated inorganic particles in the reheater to form second partially-cooled heated inorganic particles. A dryer that is in fluid communication with the inorganic particle cooler to receive the heated air, and wherein the dryer is configured to receive the carbonaceous material and to remove water from the carbonaceous material with the heated air to form a water-depleted carbonaceous material.
