Abstract
A gas reaction apparatus has an activation chamber, a heat exchanger and a reaction chamber. A gas is introduced into the activation chamber and activated there by electric discharge. The activated gas is then cooled by the heat exchanger in case a reaction to be effected in the reaction chamber is exothermic or heated by the exchanger in case a reaction to be effected in the reaction chamber is endothermic. The heat resulting from the reaction with the gas can therefore be effectively removed so that a desired reaction is rapidly conducted in the reaction chamber without being followed by a side reaction.
Claims7
A gas reaction apparatus comprising:
- an activation chamber having a gas inlet and outlet;
- means for introducing a gas into the activation chamber through the inlet;
- means for activating the gas in the activation chamber by electric discharge;
- a reaction chamber positioned downstream of the activation chamber for providing a reaction with the gas;
- means positioned between the activation chamber and the reaction chamber for changing the temperature of the activated gas supplied from the activating means and for introducing the gas into the reaction chamber.
