  • Gas reheating system using hot precipitator
    Patent number: 3986848
    Abstract: A gas handling and cleaning system for the combustion gases of a coal-fired steam generator comprises an electrostatic precipitator which receives the combustion gases from the steam generator, a preheater downstream of the electrostatic precipitator and a wet scrubber intermediately positioned between the preheater and the stack. The temperature and humidity of the gases entering the stack are controlled by conveying regulated quantities of the gases from the exit of both the precipitator and the preheater to a location intermediate the scrubber and the stack.
