Abstract
In a drying or cooling chamber (1) having a mainly cylindrical upper section (2) joining an underlying mainly conical or frusto-conical lower section (3), an inlet (6) for processing gas is provided at the upper end of the cylindrical section (2) and an outlet (7) for the processing gas at the lower or upper end of the chamber. Deposition of products on the inner surfaces of the chamber is minimized by injection by nozzle means (8) of at least one jet of pressurized gas at a high flow velocity but a low flow rate compared to the flow velocity and the flow rate of the processing gas at a level of the cylindrical section (2) remote from the processing gas outlet (7) and at a point close to a circumferential wall (9) of the cylindrical section (2). The jet is injected with a main flow direction substantially tangential and horizontal in respect of the circumferential wall (9) to interact with the flow of the processing gas to increase the flow velocity thereof in a region extending along at least the circumferential wall (9) of the cylindrical section (2) between the injection level and the processing gas outlet.
