Claims
- 1. A cooling arrangement, for cooling a locking device arranged in a fuel feed opening of a pressure gasification generator for gasification of solid fuel, the combination comprising a lock seat connected to the generator; a lock cone having a lowermost area positioned in a close relationship with the generator; drive means operatively connected to said lock cone to provide a linear movement of said lock cone with respect to said lock seat for opening and closing the fuel feed opening; a supply line to provide a cooling medium to said lock cone; said supply line having an end portion; a discharge line to drain the cooling medium after the latter is heated in heat exchange with the lock device components, said discharge line having an end portion, said lock-cone being formed as a hollow body to form a cooling chamber, said cooling chamber being connected to said end portions of said supply line and said discharge line respectively; and guide means arranged within said cooling chamber and extending toward said lowermost area to direct the cooling medium into contact with said lowermost area of said lock cone, wherein said supply line and said discharge line are pipe lines and said drive means includes support means for supporting said pipe lines for their respective movement along with said lock cone in said linear movement thereof, and wherein said pipe lines are provided with torsion loop portions to preclude said pipe lines from damage when the latter are deformed during the movement of the lock cone.
- 2. The cooling arrangement of claim 1, wherein said guide means is a vane of a substantially cylindrical shape.
- 3. The cooling arrangement of claim 1, wherein said guide means is a vane of substantially conical shape.
- 4. The cooling arrangement of claim 1, wherein said guide means is a vane having a cup-shaped cross-section.
- 5. The cooling arrangement of claim 1, wherein said torsion loops have lengths at a minimum of 100 times the pipe diameter, and have a radius of curvature of a minimum of 10 times the pipe diameter.
- 6. The cooling arrangement of claim 1, further comprises shield means arranged to cover said torsion loops for protecting the same from affecting by the fuel.
- 7. The cooling arrangement of claim 1, wherein said drive means include a push rod and a ball joint connected thereto, said ball joint being connected to said lock cone and arranged to transmit said linear movement to said lock cone.
- 8. The cooling arrangement of claim 7, further including a cover and a socket arranged in said lock cone, said cover and said socket being arranged to receive said ball joint.
- 9. The cooling arrangement of claim 1, wherein said drive means include a pilot cone mounted within said lock cone and connected thereto, and a tubular member connected to said pilot cone, said tubular member being adapted to accomodate said end portion of said supply line and said discharge line and to transmit said linear movement to said lock cone.
- 10. The cooling arrangement of claim 9, further comprising seals arranged between said pilot cone and said lock cone.
- 11. The cooling arrangement of claim 1, wherein said lock seat is provided with a cooling passage, a supply channel to receive a cooling medium and a discharge channel to drain a cooling medium off the lock seat, said cooling passage being associated with said supply channel and said discharge channel.
