Abstract
A catalytic reactor (22) comprising a central axis (A) and a stack of catalytically active sheets (10), wherein the catalytically active sheets (10) are stacked in the axial direction. Each of the catalytically active sheets (10) comprises a central opening (17) and at least some of the catalytically active sheets (10) comprise an axially extending flange (18) arranged at least partially around said central opening (17), wherein the flange (18) of one catalytically active sheet (10) extends into the central opening (17) of an adjacent catalytically active sheet (10). Disclosed is also a method for providing a catalytic reaction.
Claims18
A catalytic reactor comprising:
- a stack of catalytically active sheets;
- wherein the catalytically active sheets are stacked in an axial direction;
- wherein each of the catalytically active sheets includes a central opening and at least some of the catalytically active sheets include an axially extending flange arranged at least partially around the central opening;
- wherein the flange of one catalytically active sheet extends into the central opening of an adjacent catalytically active sheet.
A method for providing a catalytic reaction, the method comprising:
- a) feeding a first reactant in an axial direction into a central opening of a catalytically active sheet of a stack of catalytically active sheets;
- b) guiding some of the first reactant through an axially extending flange arranged at least partially around some of the central openings and extending into the central opening of an adjacent catalytically active sheet in the axial direction;
- and
- c) guiding some of the first reactant radially outward from the flange and into contact with a second reactant to provide the catalytic reaction.
