Patent ID: 11226159

Abstract:
A heat exchanger includes a plurality of heat transfer tubes (3) and a centrally arranged bypass tube (4), which are held each between a tube plate (5) of a gas inlet chamber (7) and a tube plate (6) of a gas outlet chamber (8) that are connected to a cylindrical jacket. A coolant (11) is introduced into the jacket space (9) enclosing the tubes (3, 4). A control device (16), includes a throttle valve (18) and a drive (19), sets a gas outlet temperature range of the heat exchanger (1). A discharge rate and a discharged quantity of an uncooled process gas stream (14) from the bypass tube is controlled by the throttle valve, at an outlet end (17) of the bypass tube and is adjustable via the control device. The throttle valve is formed of a material resistant to high-temperature corrosion in a temperature range sensitive for high-temperature corrosion.
