Abstract
Methods and a system for shielding cooling tubes in a radiant syngas cooler. The heat shields may prevent direct contact between heated syngas and the cooling tubes. The heat shield may be mounted to a header that also attaches to the cooling tubes. The heat shield may also be separated from the cooling tubes or, alternatively, the heat shield may be coated onto the cooling tubes. Furthermore, prolonged exposure to the heated syngas may corrode the heat shield.
