Abstract
A fossil-fired steam generator includes a gas flue having a surrounding wall being formed by tubes which are mutually joined gas-tightly and which are disposed substantially vertically and can conduct an upward flow through them on the medium side. The tubes in a first or lower part of the gas flue have a greater internal diameter than the tubes in a second part of the gas flue located above. On one hand, this ensures reliable cooling of the tubes. On the other hand, even additional or above-average heating of individual tubes does not lead to inadmissible temperature differences between outlets of the tubes.
