Abstract
A burner for operating in a high temperature and high pressure atmosphere such as in a fuel burning gasifier, requires a high degree of cooling such as by water circulation through the burner. In the event of physical breakage or damage to the normal cooling system, means is provided for introducing a higher pressure coolant into the system. The latter fills the system, both upstream and downstream of the cooling coil, to permit progressive discontinuance of the burner operation without substantial damage. It further avoids the backflow of gas from the high pressure gasifier which would otherwise be discharged to flow back through the cooling system and be discharged into the atmosphere thereby creating a dangerous as well as a harmful environment.
