Abstract
A nozzle assembly is mountable in a passage of a lid of a gas cooler. Heated gas containing acidic or acid-forming constituents flows into the gas cooler through the nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly includes a liner having an upper end and a lower end, and the liner is made from material that is corrosion resistant to a condensate of the heated gas. The nozzle assembly also includes a deflector upstream of the liner that reduces a cross-sectional area of the passage to increase a concentration of the acidic or acid-forming constituents at the liner so that, under cooling of the heated gas as the heated gas passes the liner, the heated gas condenses adjacent the liner in a band between the upper and lower ends
Claims20
A nozzle assembly for a lid of a gas cooler, the lid having a passage in which the nozzle is mounted and through which heated gas containing acidic or acid-forming constituents flows, the nozzle comprising:
- a liner, the liner having an upper end and a lower end, and made from material that is corrosion resistant to a condensate of the heated gas;
- and
- a deflector upstream of the liner that reduces a cross-sectional area of the passage to increase a concentration of the acidic or acid-forming constituents at the liner so that, under cooling of the heated gas as the heated gas passes the liner, the heated gas condenses adjacent the liner in a band between the upper and lower ends.
A nozzle assembly for a lid of a gas cooler, the lid having a passage in which the nozzle is mounted and through which heated gas containing acidic or acid-forming constituents flows, the nozzle comprising:
- a liner, the liner having an upper end and a lower end, and made from material that is corrosion resistant to a condensate of the heated gas, wherein under cooling of the heated gas as the heated gas passes the liner, the heated gas condenses adjacent the liner in a band between the upper and lower ends;
- wherein the liner is comprised of a plurality of liner segments that combine to encircle the flow of the heated gas.
