A fluidized bed combustor having a fluidized bed containing combustible solid material overlying a lower, static, layer into which material from the fluidized layer falls, means through which material from the lower layer drains from the combustor, fluidizing medium being supplied to one part of the fluidizing bed with a velocity greater than that at which fluidizing medium is supplied to an adjacent part of the bed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
