Coal crushed to 3/16-inch by 0 is pumped to a pulverizer that grinds it to 90-per cent hrough 200-mesh. The product is mixed with air and burned in the combustors. Hot high-speed gas from the ash separators drives the turbine, air compressor, and electric generators. Exhaust from the turbine passes through a regenerator that preheats compressed air to the combustors. If used, please credit Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department of the Interior.

This mock-up shows the new blade design being tested by the Bureau of Mines. The base of the blade is thicker and there is a strip of titanium carbide at the point of previous severe erosion. If used, please credit Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department of the Interior.During LDC's final 1,100-hour run, this rotor blade (arrow) was undercut by ash flowing  along the rotor past the tips of the stator blades.
