An arrangement for cooling a synthetic gas, generated in a gasification reactor, by means of a quenching cooler. The cooler is positioned below the outlet from the reactor and comprises a refrigerated inner jacket (5) surrounded by a pressurization jacket (1) and accommodating a water sump (6). There is an intermediate section (3) between the inner jacket and the outlet from the gasification reactor that is shorter in diameter than the inner jacket and longer in diameter than the outlet from the reactor. Spray nozzles (15) extend into the inner jacket. One or more gas-outlet connections (8) extend through the inner jacket in a plane above the sump.

Arrangement for cooling a synthetic gas in a quenching cooler

In a rotary tube cooler for indirect cooling of pulverized to granular material with a revolving drum, the drum shell of the rotary tube cooler is formed of a tube system through which a liquid cooling medium is conducted. The tube system comprises either tubes meandering in longitudinal direction of the rotary tube cooler, or be formed of spiral tubes, or the combination of meandering and spiral tubes. The tubes are welded together. The feed of the cooling medium and the discharge of the heated cooling medium occurs via swivel joints. Connected downstream is a device for utilization of the waste heat of the rotary tube cooler.
