An apparatus for supplying and dissipating heat, for carrying out reactions and for mixing and dispersing flowing media in a housing with an internal diameter for a medium and comprising internal fittings made up of a bundle of tubes with an external diameter or made up of other elongate elements oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing is provided. The apparatus includes crosspieces or crosspiece layers installed crosswise between the elongate elements. The crosspieces are inclined in relation to the longitudinal axis of the housing and are not in contact. After axially successive crosspieces, or a length, the crosspieces are installed between the tubes and turned by preferably 90°. A heat-transfer medium can flow in a co-current or counter-current mode. This results in a mixer/heat exchanger or reactor with an extremely large heat-transfer capacity and almost plug flow.
An apparatus for supplying or dissipating heat, for carrying out reactions and for mixing and dispersing flowing media in a housing with an internal diameter D, through the longitudinal axis of which a main flow direction for a liquid, gaseous or multi-phase product flow (I) is determined, with installations, wherein the installations include a bundle of tubes with an outer diameter d or other elongated elements and between the tubes or other elongated elements at least one bar of a first arrangement is installed and this at least one bar is inclined by an angle α which=an angle between 30-60° to the longitudinal axis of the housing and, inserted crosswise thereto, at least one second bar of a second arrangement installed with the same angle of inclination but opposite sign, and wherein the bars have a width b and this width is smaller than or equal to a spacing t of the bundle of tubes with outer diameter d or other elongated elements, and in that the bars do not touch.
