Abstract
A method of cooling syngas in a gasifier is provided. The method includes channeling cooling fluid through at least one platen that extends at least partially through a reaction zone of the gasifier, and circulating reactant fluid around the at least one platen to facilitate heat transfer from the reactant fluid to the cooling fluid.
Claims18
A method of cooling syngas in a gasifier, said method comprising:
- channeling cooling fluid through at least one platen that extends at least partially through a reaction zone of the gasifier;
- and
- circulating reactant fluid around the at least one platen to facilitate heat transfer from the reactant fluid to the cooling fluid.
A gasifier comprising:
- a reaction zone;
- and
- a radiant cooler comprising at least one platen extending through said reaction zone, said at least one platen comprises at least one cooling tube configured to circulate a cooling fluid therethrough to facilitate cooling a reactant fluid flowing through said reaction zone.
A radiant cooler comprising at least one platen extending through a passage of a gasifier, said at least one platen comprises at least one cooling tube configured to circulate a cooling fluid therethrough to facilitate cooling a reactant fluid flowing through said gasifier.
