Abstract
A reactor for catalytically processing gaseous fluids including fluid-path forming elements spaced from each other and forming a plurality of adjacent first and second channels through which fluid flows in opposite directions, with each of the first and second channels having an inlet region and an outlet region where at least the inlet region of the first channel and the outlet region of the second channel are without a catalyst and where each of the first and second channels have one region other than its inlet and outlet regions provided with a catalyst, with the inlet region of the first channel and the outlet region of the second channel providing for heat exchange between the first and second channels.
Claims13
A reactor for catalytically processing gaseous fluids, comprising:
- at least three fluid-path forming elements spaced from each other and forming a pair of adjacent first and second channels through which fluid flows in opposite directions, each of said first and second channels having an inlet region and an outlet region, wherein at least the inlet region of the first channel and the outlet region of the second channel are without a catalyst, wherein each of said first and second channels has a region other than the inlet and outlet regions thereof provided with a catalyst, and wherein at least the inlet region of the first channel and at least the outlet region of the second channel means provide for heat exchange between said first and second channels;
- and
- means for feeding fluid to the inlet region of said first channel and for discharging the fluid from the outlet region of said second channel.
