A cover for a vessel for handling a heated substance, said cover comprising an outer cover defining an inner opening into which is seated a removable inner cover, said outer cover comprising a bottom wall, an upstanding peripheral wall, an upstanding inner wall and a top wall defining an enclosed space, and said upstanding inner wall defining said inner opening into which said removable inner cover is seated;
- spray means comprising a plurality of tubes coupled to spray nozzles disposed within said enclosed space of the outer cover;
- inlet means for bringing a coolant to the tubes and spray nozzles in said enclosed space of the outer cover with the spray nozzles arranged to direct a spray of coolant onto at least the bottom wall of the outer cover;
- outlet means for removing the coolant from the enclosed space of the outer cover;
- said inner cover comprising a bottom wall, an upstanding wall and a top wall defining an enclosed space for said inner cover;
- spray means comprising a plurality of tubes coupled to spray nozzles disposed within said enclosed spaced of said inner cover and secured to the top wall;
- inlet means for bringing a coolant to the tubes and spray nozzles in the inner cover and said spray nozzles arranged to direct a spray of coolant onto at least the bottom wall of the inner cover;
- outlet means for removing the coolant from the enclosed space in the inner cover;
- and said inner cover defining at least one opening by a separate upstanding wall extended from the bottom wall to the top wall so that coolant in the enclosed space is prevented from entering said at least one opening in said inner cover.
