RADIANT COOLERS AND METHODS FOR ASSEMBLING SAME

摘要

Assembling a radiant cooler (57) includes providing a vessel shell (100) that includes a gas flow passage defined therein that extends generally axially through the vessel shell, coupling a plurality of cooling tubes (124) and a plurality of downcomers (150) together to form a tube cage (120) wherein at least one of the plurality of cooling tubes is positioned circumferentially between a pair of circumferentially-adjacent spaced-apart downcomers, and orienting the tube cage within the vessel shell such that the tube cage is in flow communication with the flow passage.
