Abstract: With a process for producing high-pressure superheated steam via hot reaction gases of a gas generator, in which coal or carbon containing materials are gasified, the production of the high-pressure superheated steam is effected in the gas generator and in a waste heat system. The gas generator preferably is provided with at least two integrated vaporizers, especially a radiation vaporizer and a radiation vaporizer and a radiation superheater.

Abstract: An arrangement for producing gaseous products from solid and liquid, ash-containing fuels and mixtures thereof in an air stream in a reactor. The fuels are introduced into the reactor parallel to the axis thereof. The solid and liquid ash constituents are extensively separated from the gaseous products of the fuel in a slag bath before further cooling-off. The gaseous products are reversed by 180.degree. after leaving the reactor, and subsequently flow into one or more consecutively or parallel connected annular chambers, which are provided with heat exchanger heating surfaces and concentrically surround the reactor. The gaseous products are cooled in these annular chambers.

Abstract: A method of treating process gases coming from a gasification reactor before entry of such process gases into a system of waste heat utilization. The process gases are cooled off to a temperature of at least 800.degree. C. before entry thereof into the waste heat system. Thereafter, the gases are extensively freed of solid matter in a cyclone separator system located ahead of the convective cooling system, and thereafter the gases are cooled off further to a temperature of at least 250.degree. C. in a convective cooling system.

Abstract: A substantially vertical apparatus for cooling process gases originating from a gasification process, along with simultaneous separation of solid matter contained in the process gases. The apparatus is a cylindrical container including several cylindrical container parts. A gas inlet is provided in the lower region of the container shell or mantle and substantially tangential thereto. The gas inlet opens into a cyclone. Cooling surfaces are provided above the cyclone, with those directly above the cyclone being embodied as platen heat transfer surfaces, and those further above being embodied as cylindrical heat transfer surfaces. The cylindrical heat transfer surfaces are suspended in the container via support elements in the manner of an immersion heater. The support elements, in conjunction with a tube and a regulating device arranged at the process gas outlet, regulate the volume or quantity of the process gases flowing or circulating around the upper cylindrical heat transfer surface.

Abstract: A flue-stream reactor for gasifying fossil fuels which contain ballast. The reactor comprises two cylindrical, cooled, and insulated reaction chambers which are disposed one after the other in the axial direction. The first reaction chamber is provided with an axial inlet for accommodating a gasification burner. The second reaction chamber is provided with an opening for the addition of gasification material. A cooled, coaxial channel provides communication between the two reaction chambers. The reactor further includes a radial discharge and a device for removing liquid and solid ash and slag.

Abstract: A suspension for a thermally heavy load cylindrical pipe assembly of relatively large diameter, according to which the suspension includes a plate with chambers therein. This plate is at its circumference provided with inlets for a cooling medium, while above the plate there are provided pipes which while extending parallel to the axis of the pipe assembly communicate with the chambers. These pipes lead into collecting elements which in their turn are firmly connected to a hollow supporting ceiling or roof structure which is likewise cooled and which is arranged above the pipe assembly.

Abstract: A high-temperature gas exit in the form of a pipe bundle from a pre-stressed cast or concrete pressure container with a first cooling system comprising a sealing skin having cooling pipes arranged on the outside thereof and with a thermal insulation layer arranged on the inner side of the sealing skin. Between the first cooling system and the pipe bundle there is provided a second cooling system comprising a hollow double skin with cooling passages, the first cooling system and the second cooling system being independent of each other.

Abstract: A device for cooling, by means of liquid media, plate coolers of blast furnaces and the like which plate coolers include cooling pipes of cast segments, according to which the cooling medium at different operating or working pressures is passed through the cooling pipes of the cast segments.

Abstract: An arrangement for absorbing the thermal expansions of the steel lining of a prestressed cast pressure tank by means of the mounting support of an armored or steel-plated pipe which is passed through the lining and the prestressed cast pressure tank. The steel-plated pipe, at that opening thereof which faces the interior of the tank, has a circumferential, collar-like mounting support which is open toward the interior of the tank. One end of the mounting support is welded to the lining in such a way that the connection is impermeable to gas. The shoulder of the mounting support is positively connected with the cast pressure tank.

Abstract: A hot or cold operating cast pressure container having an inner steel lining which positively or nearly positively engages the inner wall of the cast pressure container directly or indirectly through the intervention of a filling compound having thermal insulation. The cast pressure container also has a framework for stabilizing the lining against undue deformations. This framework is connected with the cast structure by anchoring elements. Spacers are provided between the framework and the lining.

Abstract: An apparatus for drying wet steam and subsequently superheating the dried steam, which comprises an upright cylindrical container with a coarse separator in the bottom region of the container and with an axially upwardly following fine separator. Arranged within the container in the axially upward direction of the fine separator is a passage around which there are located superheating elements which are parallel to the axis of the container and extend nearly up to the upper bottom of the container.

Abstract: A anchorage of a lining to a pressure vessel in which T-shaped anchors are connected to the lining. The anchors extend along the longitudinal axes of the cylindrical sections with which the linings are associated. The anchors extend into cutouts in these sections, with clearance provided around the anchors. The spaces between the anchors and the cutout, and between the pressure vessel and the lining, are filled, e.g. with concrete or a mixture of cement with steel balls.
