Abstract

An upright apparatus for cooling high pressure gases with a high dust component includes a radiation/convection cooler with longitudinally extending heat exchanger elements and a convection cooler follows the radiation/convection cooler on the gas side. As distinguished from known devices for the cooling of high pressure gases, the apparatus provides a largely uniform distribution of the gas at the cooling elements and hence a uniform thermal load of the individual elements in the radiation/convection cooler. A uniform cleaning of these cooling elements and easy removal of the dust from the cooling surfaces of these cooling elements is made possible, in order thereby to ensure a good heat transfer. The radiation/convection cooler heat exchanger elements are combined in finned tube walls forming lanes between them, which walls extend from one inner wall section to the opposite inner wall section.
