A cracked gas cooling heat exchanger includes a tube connection between an uncooled tube () and a cooled tube (), having a cooled inner tube () enclosed by a jacket tube (), with a tube intermediate space () for flowing cooling medium. A gas inlet header () has a GI tube inner part () and a GI tube outer part () and a cooling space () with an insulating layer (). The GI tube outer part connects via a water chamber () to the jacket tube. The GI tube inner part faces the inner tube and is connected on a face () of the water chamber. A weld backing ring (), between an end face () of the cooling space and a bottom face () of the water chamber, is in the insulating layer of the cooling space, arranged in a turn-out/groove () in the insulating layer.

A quenching system for a plant, operating a cracking furnace, works with liquid as well as gaseous starting materials. The quenching system includes a primary heat exchanger (PQE) and a secondary heat exchanger (SQE) and a tertiary heat exchanger. A TLX-D exchanger (TLX-D) is arranged and configured as the tertiary heat exchanger for dual operation. The TLX-D () is connected in series via a TLX-D gas feed line () to the SQE. The TLX-D () is connected to a steam drum (), which is connected to a feed water line (), via a TLX-D feed water drain line () and a TLX-D riser () and a TLX-D downcomer (). The SQEis connected to the steam drum (), which is connected to the feed water line (), via a TLX downcomer () and a TLX-riser ().

Quenching system

A quench-cooling system has a primary quench cooler as a double-tube heat exchanger, a tube bundle heat exchanger as a secondary quench cooler. A tube bundle is enclosed by a casing, forming a casing room, which is formed between tube sheets arranged at spaced locations. Bundle tubes are held with the tube sheets. Parallel cooling channels, connected with one another, have a rectangular tunnel geometry formed (i) from the thin tube sheet, separating a gas side from a water/steam side and connected to a ring flange, which is connected to the casing of the enclosed tube bundle; (ii) from parallel webs, arranged on the tube sheet, separating individual water/steam flows from one another; and (iii) from a covering sheet, provided with openings for bundle tubes and defining the flow in the tunnel arrangement of the cooling channels.

Quench-cooling system

A heat exchanger for cooling reaction gas. A cooled tube receives hot reaction gas from a hot, uncooled tube. The cooled tube comprises a cooled inner tube and a tubular jacket that extends about the inner tube. A tubular connection is disposed between the uncooled and the cooled tubes, and includes a fork-shaped inlet head via which the inner tube is in communication with the uncooled tube. The inlet head is provided with an outer tubular section and an inner tubular section between which is disposed an intermediate space filled with heat-insulating material. The outer tubular section is connected to the tubular jacket. The inner tubular section is spaced slightly axially from the inner tube and is provided with an edge region that juts outwardly and is spaced slightly axially from the inner tube, this slight axial spacing being equal to or less than a maximum thermal expansion of the inlet head. A U-shaped sealing ring is disposed between facing end faces of the inner tube and the inner tubular section, and is disposed in a recess formed in the end face of the inner tubular section, the recess being disposed radially outwardly of the edge region of the inner tubular section.

Connector between a reaction pipe and a cooling pipe and method for connecting a reaction pipe to a cooling pipe. The cooling pipe is a double pipe having an inner pipe, disposed in the extension of the reaction pipe, and an outer pipe that surrounds the inner pipe to form an intermediate cooling space between them. A supply chamber is connected to the cooling space for supplying coolant thereto. A transition piece, connected to the reaction pipe, has a fork-shaped end portion composed of an inner portion and an outer portion with heat-insulating material between them. The outer portion is secured to the base of the supply chamber coaxially relative to the longitudinal axis of the cooling pipe. The supply chamber, transition piece and half shells form a prefabricated unit. An inner tube section is welded to, and extends out of, the supply chamber and is aligned with the inner portion of the transition piece. The inner tube section has a thickness, inner diameter and outer diameter corresponding to those of the inner pipe. The thickness, inner diameter and outer diameter of the half shells correspond to those of the outer pipe. The axial length of the half shells is greater than the length of the part of the inner tube section extending out of the supply chamber.

A heat exchanger for cooling reaction gas, wherein the respective ends of heat exchanger tubes, through which the reaction gas flows, are inserted in a respective tube plate and are surrounded by a jacket, at the two ends of which are provided a respective end chamber that is partially delimited by one of the tube plates and serves for the supply and withdrawal of the reaction gas; water, as cooling agent, flows through the inner chamber of the heat exchanger that is surrounded by the jacket and that is divided by a partition, extending perpendicular to the heat exchanger tubes, which extend through it, into two partial chambers disposed one after the other in the direction of flow of the reaction gas, each partial chamber being provided with its own supply connectors and outlet connectors for the cooling agent; boiling water flows through the partial chamber that is disposed on the inlet side for reaction gas and that is connected via a supply line and withdrawal lines with a water/steam drum; feed water flows through the partial chamber that is disposed on the outlet side for the reaction gas and that is connected via a withdrawal line with the water/steam drum. The partition between the two partial chambers permits the passage of the cooling agent that flows in the inner chamber of the heat exchanger.

A heat exchanger for cooling a hot gas that contains solid particles, comprising heat exchanger tubes through which the hot gas flows, with the tubes being surrounded by a casing, and with ends of the tubes being welded, via weld seams, into bores of respective tube plates disposed at the ends of the casing. A protective layer coats the end face of the gas inlet side tube plate, an inner wall of the bores, the weld seams, and an inlet region of the heat exchanger tubes. The protective layer comprises a metallic adhesive layer, a high temperature and erosion resistant ceramic layer, and a high temperature and erosion resistant metal layer disposed between the adhesive layer and the ceramic layer.

In a double-pipe heat exchanger for cooling cracked gas, the double pipes are inserted in rows into oval pipe collectors ( ), and several oval pipe collectors ( ), arranged parallel to each other, are joined into a tight floor ( ) which forms the upper cap of the gas entry cone. The floor ( ) has a cylindrical flange collar ( ) fastened to it, which is connected to a ring flange ( ) attached to the gas entry cone. The gas entry cone is provided on the inside with a lining ( ) whose inner contour ( ) forms a central interior space ( ) which widens in the direction of the floor ( ). This lining ( ) of the gas entry cone continues into the flange collar ( ), and the inner contour ( ) of the lining ( ) continues all the way to the floor ( ).
