Abstract
A method for cooling solid residues of a combustion process, which are deposited onto the conveying surface of a conveyor belt of a conveying device and are conveyed in the direction of a solid residue outlet, wherein during conveying heat is transferred from the solid residues to a gaseous coolant. The method is characterized in that the conveyor belt is acted upon by coolant only on its side oriented away from the conveying surface, the conveyor belt is essentially impermeable to the coolant and at least part of the coolant heated by contact with the conveyor belt is extracted on that side oriented away from the conveying surface.
