Estimating the term…
A multi-structured tubular element for producing a reactor for effecting exothermic/endothermic chemical reactions, comprises two or more monolithic thermoconductive bodies, assembled together so that each has a part of the side surface interfaced with the side surface of one or more monolithic thermoconductive bodies adjacent thereto, so as to form as a whole, a honeycomb structure containing a plurality of longitudinal channels extending from one end to the other of said tubular element, suitable for being filled with a granular catalytic solid.
A multi-structured tubular element of a reactor for effecting exothermic/endothermic chemical reactions, comprising two or more monolithic thermoconductive bodies extending longitudinally, assembled together so that each has a part of a side surface in contact with a side surface of one or more of said monolithic thermoconductive bodies adjacent thereto and said two or more monolithic thermoconductive bodies together form a thermally connected honeycomb structure containing a plurality of longitudinal channels extending from one end to the other of said multi-structured tubular element and substantially parallel to each other and to a main axis of said multi-structured tubular element, wherein each of said monolithic thermoconductive bodies has a thermal conductivity higher than 10 w/m/K and is thermally connected with an outer side surface of the multi-structured tubular element, wherein each of said monolithic thermoconductive bodies comprises a wall that is part of the outer side surface of the multi-structured tubular element, and comprising a catalyst in the form of granular bodies filled in at least one of the plurality of longitudinal channels.
