Abstract

With a system for synthesis gas production, having a reactor as well as a gas cooler/purifier connected with it in terms of flow, a solution is supposed to be created, with which the most compact possible connection between reactor, on the one hand, and the gas cooler or purifier, on the other hand, is made possible, whereby heat expansions that occur due to different temperatures are absorbed. This is accomplished in that the connection between reactor ( 1 ) and gas cooler/purifier ( 7 ) is formed by a horizontal connection piece ( 5 ) having a throttle element ( 6 ) configured as a Venturi element.

Claims (4)

1. System for synthesis gas production, having a reactor as well as a gas cooler/purifier connected with it in terms of flow, wherein the connection between reactor ( 1 ) and gas cooler/purifier ( 7 ) is formed by a horizontal connection piece ( 5 ) having a throttle element ( 6 ) configured as a Venturi element.

2. System according to claim 1 , wherein the throttle element ( 6 ) that lies on the inside is configured to be adjustable.

3. System according to claim 1 , wherein the reactor ( 1 ) is set up in a fixed location, whereby the connection piece ( 5 ) is positioned on the reactor ( 1 ) in the region of the mantle case that forms the fixed point, and whereby the gas cooler/purifier ( 7 ) is provided with bearings ( 7 b ) that guarantee a horizontal movement.

4. System according to claim 1 , wherein the connection piece ( 1 ) is disposed in the head region of the gas cooler/purifier ( 7 ), whereby the gas is passed downward on the mantle side and/or centrally on or through the scrubber basket ( 8 ), to flow through the scrubber counter to the direction of gravity.
