Claims
- 1. An arrangement of apparatus for transferring heat between solid particle material of fluidizable particle size and a heat exchange fluid, comprising the combination of:
- (a) a cylindrical chamber open in the upper cross sectional area thereof for charging heated solid particles thereto,
- (b) a bottom portion of said cylindrical chamber separated into upper and lower header chambers,
- (c) a plurality of open ended first conduits in parallel arrangement extending upwardly from said lowermost header chamber to an upper part of said cylindrical chamber,
- (d) a plurality of separate second conduit means, each with a closed upper end and a larger diameter than said first open ended conduits and separately encasing one of said first conduits to define an annular space therewith and in open communication at the bottom annular end thereof with said upper header chamber,
- (e) means for charging a heat exchange fluid to one of said header chambers and means for withdrawing heated fluid from the other of said header chambers,
- (f) opening means in said cylindrical chamber above said upper header chamber for withdrawing solid particles passed downwardly through said heat exchange cylindrical chamber in indirect heat exchange.
- 2. Apparatus according to claim 1 in which said solid particle material is catalyst.
