  • Publication number: 20120273176
    Abstract: Embodiments of gasification cooling systems provided herein may include a housing, an annular wall, and one or more tangential fluid jets circumferentially disposed about the annular wall. The housing includes an inlet, an outlet, and a fluid passage disposed between the inlet and the outlet. The annular wall is disposed about the fluid passage, and a fluid stream is configured to flow in a flow direction from the inlet toward the outlet. The one or more tangential fluid jets are adapted to inject fluid into the fluid passage to annularly circulate the fluid stream throughout the fluid passage as the fluid stream flows in the flow direction.
