Abstract
A reactor system (1) having a reactor 3, at least one cooler (5) connected to the reactor (3), at least one pump (7) for circulating at least some of a liquid heat-transfer medium (9), wherein the pump (7) is connected to the reactor (3) and/or the at least one cooler (5), and a container (11) for collecting the liquid heat-transfer medium (9) is provided. The container (11) is connected to the reactor (3) and/or the at least one cooler (5) and is disposed substantially below the reactor (3) and/or the at least one cooler (5). Also provided are exothermic reactions which are conducted in the reactor system.
Claims9
A reactor system, comprising:
- a reactor;
- at least one cooler connected to the reactor;
- at least one pump for circulating at least some of a liquid heat-transfer medium, wherein the pump is connected to the reactor or the at least one cooler;
- and
- a container for collecting the liquid heat-transfer medium, wherein the container is connected to the reactor or the at least one cooler,
- wherein
- the container is connected via outlet lines to a lowermost point of the reactor or the at least one cooler, respectively,
- the container is disposed below the reactor or the at least one cooler, and at least partly below ground level, and
- a volume of the container is 10% greater than a volume of the liquid heat-transfer medium theoretically contained in the reactor and the at least one cooler.
