Abstract
A reactor having a reactor vessel and, inside the reactor vessel there is a plate assembly which is mounted upright, a distributor which is attached to the plate assembly, at least one supply line, via which the distributor is connected to a respective cooling fluid inlet of the reactor vessel, and a collector which is attached to the plate assembly, at least one discharge line, via which the collector is connected to a respective cooling fluid outlet of the reactor vessel. Wherein flow paths for the cooling fluid are formed, and wherein the at least one discharge line is curved in such a way that the discharge line runs around an axis of the reactor vessel by at least 180°.
Claims9
A reactor comprising a reactor vessel and, inside the reactor vessel:
- a plate assembly which is mounted upright and which is formed by a plurality of cooling plates through which a cooling fluid can flow, wherein between the cooling plates intermediate spaces, in which a catalyst is arranged, are formed such that a reaction gas can flow through the intermediate spaces and come into contact with the catalyst,
- a distributor which is attached to the plate assembly on an underside of the plate assembly,
- at least one supply line, via which the distributor is connected to a respective cooling fluid inlet of the reactor vessel,
- a collector which is attached to the plate assembly on a top side of the plate assembly,
- at least one discharge line, via which the collector is connected to a respective cooling fluid outlet of the reactor vessel,
- wherein flow paths for the cooling fluid are formed, the flow paths in each case leading from one of the cooling fluid inlets through the corresponding supply line, the distributor, one of the cooling plates, the collector and one of the discharge lines to the corresponding cooling fluid outlet, and wherein the at least one discharge line is curved in such a way that the discharge line runs around an axis of the reactor vessel by at least 180°.
