This invention relates to a combination comprising two vertical cylindrical shaped high temperature pressure vessels coaxially connected. The upper vessel is a refractory lined free-flow partial oxidation gas generator for the production of gaseous mixtures comprising H2+CO from liquid hydrocarbonaceous and solid carbonaceous fuels. The lower vessel houses a radiation gas cooler for cooling the raw gas stream which is produced in the upper vessel and which passes down through a coaxial vertical cylindrical annular shaped refractory throat located between said upper and lower vessels. A vertical steel cylindrical gas barrier provided with a flanged bottom surrounds the refractory throat passage so that substantially no gas escapes into a stagnant annular zone outside of said gas barrier. Further the refractory throat is vertically supported by said flanged gas barrier. Supporting elements connected to the upper vessel are provided for supporting the gas barrier so that its lower end is free to move by thermal expansion.

In combination, a first vertical cylindrical shaped elongated high temperature steel pressure vessel provided with a retracted internal lower head containing an exit passage along the central longitudinal axis of said vessel and an upper head containing a coaxial inlet passage for the insertion of a downwardly discharging burner, said first vessel being the exterior shell of a refractory lined reaction zone of a partial oxidation gas generator for the production of synthesis gas, reducing gas, or fuel gas; a second vertical cylindrical shaped elongated high temperature steel pressure vessel being the exterior shell of a gas cooler for cooling the hot raw effluent gas steam from said reaction zone; connecting means for joining the lower end of said first vessel to the upper end of said second vessel to provide vertical coaxial alignment along the central longitudinal axis of each vessel; a vertical cylindrical annular shaped elongated refractory throat coaxial with said first and second vessels and extending therebetween for the free passage of said hot raw effluent gas stream from said reaction zone to said gas cooler; a concentric coaxial vertical steel cylindrical gas barrier surrounding along its length the outside diameter of said refractory throat, said gas barrier including a horizontal annular shaped bottom flange comprising inward and outward portions, wherein said inward portion serves as a shelf for supporting said refractory throat; means for connecting said cylindrical gas barrier to said first vessel; and top and bottom flexible joint sealing means located between the cylindrical gas barrier and a stagnant annular zone radially disposed from said cylindrical gas barrier; wherein substantially no raw effluent gas stream passing through said refractory throat escapes into said stagnant annular zone.
