Abstract

In a device for drying organic solids of high water content, particularly brown coals, the embodiment is effected in order to simplify the preliminary heating with steam in such a way that the overflow lines (7) with shutoff device end in the vapor space of the attached vessels (8) and dampers (2). The ending of the overflow lines (7) is conveniently shaped as collecting funnel (FIG. 1).
