Patent ID: 8690973

Claim:
A reactor for entrained flow gasification for operation with dust-type or liquid fuels, comprising: a gasification chamber; at least three gasification burners disposed in an essentially rotationally symmetrical manner in relation to a reactor axis; an ignition and pilot burner arranged in the reactor axis, wherein each gasification burner is disposed in an upper region of the gasification chamber, wherein the reactor axis lies along a first reference plane, wherein a second reference plane is arranged perpendicular to the first reference plane and the reactor axis, wherein the second reference plane passes through an entry point of each gasification burner respectively into the gasification chamber, and wherein a center line of each gasification burner intersects the first reference plane within the gasification chamber as well as between a level of the entry point of the gasification burner into the gasification chamber and an upper edge of a crude gas outlet and a slag outlet such that the center lines of the gasification burners are non-parallel to the reactor axis, wherein each gasification burner is arranged such that the center lines of the gasification burners do not meet on the reactor axis, wherein the center line of each gasification burner and the first reference plane form an angle between 0 and 30 degrees, and a quenching chamber connected to the gasification chamber via the crude gas outlet and the slag outlet.
