Liquid injection in fluidized beds is used to add reactants or to improve the heat management in the reactor. This injection will increase the complexity of reactor due to the formation of agglomerates. In this work the effect of the injection on the particle temperature distribution in a fluidized bed of porous particles is determined experimentally using particle image velocimetry and infra‐red thermography. The main property of the porous particles influencing the distribution is the specific surface area. In addition, the porosity has a large effect on the defluidization of the fluidized bed.
