Abstract

A device for cooling a gas that forms deposits has an upright container through which the gas to be cooled flows. At least two heating surface units with at least one heating surface of a closed geometry are provided. The heating surface units are positioned within the upright container one atop the other. A cooling medium flows through the heating surface units. Each heating surface has coordinated therewith a beating device. The container has a support and an upper one of the heating surface units is supported at the support of the container. At least one array of connecting tubes for conveying the cooling medium is provided. The array of connecting tubes connects respectively a lower one of the heating surfaces units to an adjacent upper one of the heating surface units such that the cooling medium flows sequentially through the heating surface units. The array of connecting tubes has an open geometry such that a beating effect of the beating devices on the heating surfaces is unimpaired by the array of connecting tubes.
