CONTINUOUS FINE ASH DEPRESSURIZATION SYSTEM

摘要

A system for depressurizing and cooling a high pressure, high temperature fine solid particles stream having entrained gas therein. In one aspect, the system has an apparatus for cooling the high pressure, high temperature fine solid particles stream having entrained gas therein and a pressure letdown device for depressurization by separating the cooled fine solid particles from a portion of the fine solid particles stream having entrained gas therein, resulting in a lower temperature, lower pres-sure outlet of solid particles for disposal or handling by downstream equip-ment.
