Abstract: A dense fluidized bed exchanger includes a casing the vertical longitudinal walls of which consist of tubes conveying a heat-conducting fluid, the casing being divided lengthwise into chambers separated from each other by a baffle consisting of a wall consisting of tubes conveying a heat-conducting fluid. The vertical longitudinal walls consist of horizontal tubes and the baffle extends from the bottom wall of the casing to a height less than that of the latter and consists of superposed hairpin-shape transverse extensions of tubes of each of the vertical longitudinal walls disposed perpendicular to the tubes and extending to the opposite vertical longitudinal wall.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hot gas recovery boiler comprising a substantially horizontal gas inlet duct, a gas deflection duct connected to the inlet duct and opening out into a generally vertical enclosure that contains a set of superposed and substantially horizontal heat exchange stages plus a flue gas exhaust duct at the top of the enclosure. At least one heat exchanger is disposed in the proximity of the outlet of said inlet duct.
