The invention relates to a device for the reactive conversion of gaseous streams at high temperatures in excess of 1000° C. Said device comprises a reaction chamber (8) with an inlet opening for the gaseous streams to be converted, in particular a burner head (2) and an outlet opening for the converted gaseous streams. In order to guarantee the highest possible conversion performance, the reaction chamber (8) has a narrow construction, extending longitudinally from the inlet opening to the outlet opening to form a controlled gaseous flow, thus preventing a circulatory flow in the reaction chamber (8). To achieve reaction conditions that are as adiabatic as possible, the reaction chamber (8) is thermally insulated with a layer (7) that has a porous foam and/or fibre structure. In the simplest embodiment, the reaction chamber (8) is cylindrical, thus achieving a tubular flow reactor construction for the entire device.
Device for reacting streams of gas at high temperatures exceeding 1000° C. in a reaction space surrounded by a wall with an inflow opening for the gas streams that are to be reacted, and an outflow opening for reacted gas streams, characterized in that the reaction space has a geometrical shape that prevents large-area circulation flows and that promotes a directed gas flow in the reaction space, with a lengthwise extension from the inflow opening to the outflow opening.
