Abstract

The end of the uncooled pipe (1) is forked in cross-section, creating an inner and an outer section (5 and 6). The outer section is secure to a cooled pipe (2) and the inner section extends into the cooled pipe with radial and axial play. The annular gap (13) between the inner and outer sections is occupied by a heat-insulating material.
