Abstract
A thermochemical reactor includes a contact surface and a pressing device for pressing raw material to be pyrolyzed against the rotationally symmetrical contact surface which is rotatable relative to the raw material. A generating line of the contact surface is oriented at an angle to a radius that is perpendicular to the axis of the relative rotation.
Claims15
A thermochemical reactor, comprising
- a reaction body rotatable about an axis and having a contact surface;
- and
- a pressing device for pressing raw material to be pyrolyzed against said contact surface of said reaction body,
- wherein said contact surface forms at least a portion of a circumferential surface of said reaction body, and
- wherein said pressing device has several raw material channels which lead onto several ones of said contact surfaces which are arranged in a manner selected from the group consisting of being interspaced in a direction of said axis, being staggered in a circumferential direction, and both, and leading into a same one of said contact surfaces.
