1. An elbow for a solid particle conveyance system comprising:
- an elbow body having an inlet duct and an outlet duct with an interior space defined between the inlet and outlet ducts; and
an aeration insert mounted to the elbow body for aerating solid particles passing through the interior space of the elbow body, wherein the aeration insert is mounted to the elbow body to provide aeration from an elevation along a vertical axis between that of the bottom of the inlet duct and the bottom of the outlet duct to facilitate downward movement of solid particles from the inlet duct across the aeration insert, and out through the outlet duct.

9. An elbow for a solid particle conveyance system comprising:
-
an elbow body having an inlet duct and an outlet duct with an interior space defined between the inlet and outlet ducts, with a lower access port defined on the elbow body into the interior space; an aeration insert mounted in the inlet duct of the elbow body for aerating solid particles passing into the interior space of the elbow body; a base flange mounted to the lower access port at an elevation below both the inlet duct and the outlet duct; a riser extending from the base flange into the interior space of the elbow body; and an aeration membrane mounted to the riser opposite to the base flange to provide aeration from an elevation along a vertical axis between that of the bottom of the inlet duct and the bottom of the outlet duct to facilitate downward movement of solid particles from the inlet duct across the aeration membrane, and out through the outlet duct. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
