Patent ID: 8851023

Claim:
A continuous steam generator, comprising: a combustion chamber with a plurality of burners for fossil fuel; a surrounding wall of the combustion chamber formed of steam generator pipes welded together in a gas-tight manner; a horizontal gas flue; a vertical gas flue connected downstream of the combustion chamber on a hot gas side in an upper area by means via the horizontal gas flue, wherein a part of the surrounding wall facing the vertical gas flue and below the horizontal gas flue is inclined inwards and thereby forms, with a bottom of the adjacent horizontal gas flue a nose projecting into the combustion chamber, wherein the steam generator pipes are arranged such that an entire mass flow is routed out of the part of the surrounding wall facing the vertical gas flue into the nose, and wherein support pipes are connected downstream of at least one part of the steam generator pipes of the nose at an upper end of the nose on a flow medium side, the support pipes carrying the entire mass flow being routed essentially vertically into a first collector at a lower end of the nose, wherein the entire mass flow is divided at a second point downstream of the steam generator pipes into two parts of the support pipes, one part of the support pipes are routed essentially vertically to a third point on the cover of the steam generator, and a further part is routed from the second point downwards into the first collector.
