Abstract
In a rotary tube cooler for indirect cooling of pulverized to granular material with a revolving drum, the drum shell of the rotary tube cooler is formed of a tube system through which a liquid cooling medium is conducted. The tube system comprises either tubes meandering in longitudinal direction of the rotary tube cooler, or be formed of spiral tubes, or the combination of meandering and spiral tubes. The tubes are welded together. The feed of the cooling medium and the discharge of the heated cooling medium occurs via swivel joints. Connected downstream is a device for utilization of the waste heat of the rotary tube cooler.

A rotatable heat exchanger drum having a wall formed of a continuous tube arranged in a particular pattern defining a continuous flow path and includes a longitudinally extending tube portion at one end and a spirally extending tube portion at the other end.
A rotary heat exchanger drum comprising a wall formed of a continuously extending tube with successive portions arranged side by side and welded together with at least one portion being formed of tube portions which form meandering flow paths and a portion which forms a spiral flow path, one of said successive portions adjacent to one end leaving longitudinally extending tube portion and a spirally extending tube portion adjacent to the other end.
A rotary heat exchange having a wall formed of a continuous uniterrupted tube made up of at least two separate tube systems including a first meandering system including a continuous tube which extends backwardly and forwardly without forming a coil and a second system in which there is uninterrupted helically extending tube formed into a series coils.
