Abstract
The present invention describes a device for controlling cooling of a heat transfer solid supplying or withdrawing heat to or from a unit carrying out globally endothermic or exothermic reactions respectively. The exchange bundle of said device is in a triangular pattern.
Claims11
A device capable of exchanging heat of a heat transfer solid in the fluidized state and capable of carrying out a controlled exchange of heat from a heat transfer solid used in an endothermic or exothermic process, said device comprising at least one reaction zone, an exchange bundle immersed in a fluidized bed of solid, said fluidized bed being contained in a vessel (2) communicating with the reaction zone via at least one conduit for introducing solid (4), and said exchange bundle comprising an assembly of longitudinal tubes grouped into fours, a bayonet type tube (8)/(9) comprising a central tube (9) and a tube (8) coaxial with the tube (9) and surrounding it, and three tubes (10) parallel to the tube (8)/(9) and disposed symmetrically about said bayonet tube (8)/(9) in order to form, in top view, a symmetrical assembly in the form of a trefoil, termed the exchange bundle module, each exchange bundle module comprising junctions to connect together the tube (8) coaxial with the central tube (9) and the three tubes (10) parallel to the bayonet tube (8)/(9).
