Abstract
Various embodiments include a reactor comprising: a longitudinally extending reaction channel providing a flow path for a first reactant; a feed channel providing a flow path for a second reactant; multiple passage openings spaced apart from one another providing fluidic connecting between the feed channel and the reaction channel via respective partial streams for the second reactant; and a medium channel surrounding the reaction channel to bring a medium for exchange of heat with contents of the reaction channel and influencing a temperature of the reaction channel. The respective partial streams for the second reactant mix with the first reactant in the reaction channel to allow a chemical reaction of the first reactant and the second reactant.

A reactor comprising:
- a longitudinally extending reaction channel providing a flow path for a first reactant;
- a feed channel providing a flow path for a second reactant;
- multiple passage openings spaced apart from one another providing fluidic connecting between the feed channel and the reaction channel via respective partial streams for the second reactant;
- wherein the respective partial streams for the second reactant mix with the first reactant in the reaction channel to allow a chemical reaction of the first reactant and the second reactant;
- and
- a medium channel surrounding the reaction channel to bring a medium for exchange of heat with contents of the reaction channel and influencing a temperature of the reaction channel;
- wherein the reaction channel extends in a helical shape.
A method for producing a reactor, the method comprising:
- producing a longitudinally extending reaction channel which can be flowed through along its longitudinal extent by a first reactant;
- producing a feed channel fluidically connected to the reaction channel via multiple passage openings spaced apart from one another;
- wherein a second reactant flows through the feed channel in respective partial streams of the second reactant fed via the passage openings to the reaction channel and thus to the first reactant (to allow a chemical reaction of the first reactant and the second reactant in the reaction channel;
- and
- producing a medium channel surrounding the reaction channel and for delivering a medium to exchange heat with the reaction channel and influence a temperature of the reaction channel;
- wherein the reaction channel extends in a helical shape.
