The gasification apparatus for gasification of finely divided combustible material under pressure includes a gasification reactor which produces a crude gas, a quenching pipe and a convection-heated boiler with a boiler housing, all mounted inside a pressurized vessel. A gas flow guiding device is provided above the quenching pipe for conducting a mixed gas flow containing the crude gas and a quenching gas from the quenching pipe into the convection-heated boiler which surrounds the quenching pipe concentrically. A gas outlet device is provided for the gas flow from the convection-heated boiler and from the pressurized vessel. The gasification reactor is supported at its bottom end in the pressurized vessel at anchoring points. The convection-heated surface elements of the convection-heated boiler are supported by the quenching pipe and the boiler housing but in a stress-free manner. A quenching gas inlet device is provided and includes a circumferential gap between an inlet section of the quenching pipe and an adjacent outlet section of the gasification reactor through which a quenching gas is conducted to form, together with the crude gas, the mixed gas flow.

Gasification apparatus for a finely divided combustible material

The gasification process includes providing a gasification reactor for gasifying a finely divided combustible material under pressure to form a crude gas with cinder and ash components, a quenching pipe positioned concentrically above the gasification reactor, a convection-heated boiler concentrically surrounding the quenching pipe and a gas flow guide device above the quenching pipe, the gas flow guide device being rotationally symmetric with respect to a longitudinal axis of the quenching pipe; conducting the crude gas with the cinder and ash components from the gasification reactor into the quenching pipe; feeding a quenching gas into the quenching pipe during the gasifying to form a mixed flow including the crude gas, the cinder and ash components and the quenching gas; guiding the mixed flow about a 180.degree. turn with the gas flow guide device above the quenching pipe; conducting the mixed flow into the convection-heated boiler; feeding the mixed flow from the convection-heated boiler with the help of a gas outlet device; and adjusting a gas flow speed of the mixed flow so that the cinder and ash components travelling in the mixed flow experience a cooling in the convection-heated boiler so that they loose adherence ability and are conducted through the gas outlet device from the convection-heated boiler.

Method for gasification of a finely divided combustible material

A device for separating coarse and/or fine particles from raw gas, including a filter shell with an inlet and an outlet for bulk material, granular bed filters reaching into the raw gas inlet duct, and purified gas outlets communicating with a common outlet duct.

Device with granular bed filters for raw gas purification

The retort chamber for generating gas by applying hot steam to coal in a fluidized bed is heated by meandering tubes, dipping into the bed, and being suspended from long, hollow boxes which, in turn, are particularly suspended in the retort chamber. The boxes support also manifold tubes connected to the heating tubes and being further connected to a heating fluid feed and distribution as well as a collecting and discharge system.

Heating system for fluidized bed gas generator

A gas generator is provided for the production of gas from fuel and steam under conditions of high pressure and temperature. The requisite temperature is preferably provided by a nuclear reactor. The gas generator includes a cylinder wth a hollow interior. Extending transversely through the hollow interior of the cylinder is a container. Tubular heat exchangers are vertically arranged over the length, width and height of the cylinder in such a manner that the density of heating surfaces decreases along the length of the container.
