Abstract: Apparatus for injecting as into a vessel including a gas flow duct 31 which receives hot gas through a gas inlet structure 32 at a rear end of the duct. An elongate central structure 33 extends throughout the length of duct 31 and carries a series of vanes 34 for imparting swirl to the gas flow exiting the forward end of the duct. The forward end of the duct 31 has an internally water cooled tip 36 and water flows to and from tip 36 through annular passages 43, 44 in the wall of duct 31. Vanes 34 are mounted on central structure 33 so as to extend to forward ends disposed within the duct tip 36 and are dimensioned such that during operation of the apparatus their forward ends are engaged and supported by the internally water cooled duct tip 36.
