Abstract

A wet ash remover which has a trough arranged underneath the ash funnel of a boiler and is filled with quenching water. A quenching water feed and an overflow are also provided. Ash conveying equipment passes through the wet ash remover. A cooling device with quenching water circulating through it continuously, is located between the overflow and the quenching water feed. One or more sets of parallel oblique plates are located inside the trough in front of the overflow. The set or sets of plates may extend throughout the entire length side of the wet ash remover. The plates may be inclined 50 to 60 degrees from the horizontal, and the planes may be planar. One of the sidewalls of the displaceable trough is connected detachably to the remainder of the trough and rigidly to stationary supports; the sidewall is at least as long as the immersion piece of the ash funnel protruding into the trough. The sidewall may accommodate the overflow and the set or sets of plates.
