method for cooling gases and / or vapours from treatment plants and equipment for non-ferrous metals

摘要

A method and apparatus for cooling gases and/or vapors from non-ferrous metal treatment plants, wherein gases and/or vapors which develop in the treatment region are passed parallel to a heat transfer surface consisting of one or more sets of vertical tubes disposed in intimate mutual contact to form a shaft structure, the tubes being fed with water under pressure to produce steam, and the shaft structure being suspended above the treatment region.
