Abstract

In a plant including a shaft, which, in its upper end region, includes a gas exhaust device and a charging arrangement for continuously charging bulk material, a temperature measuring device for measuring the temperature of the gas emerging from the bulk material is provided. In order to ensure the uniform treatment of the bulk material, i.e., a uniform gas passage through the same over the entire cross section of the shaft at little structural expenditures, several temperature measuring devices are provided in the upper end region of the shaft, distributed in a cross sectional plane, and the charging arrangement includes several tubular mouth pieces for forming at least one conical pile within the shaft, which are adjustable relative to the shaft cross section in the radial direction.
