CHEMICAL COMPRESSION REACTOR FOR PRODUCTION OF SYNTHESIS GAS Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: chemical machine building; may be used in chemical industry for production of synthesis gas from rich mixtures of hydrocarbon gases, in particular, natural gas and air. SUBSTANCE: synthesis gas is produced from methane-air mixture in chemical compression reactor with formed ignition and operating on four-stroke cycle. The reactor includes cylinder-piston group, crank mechanism and valves drive system. Each cylinder has prechamber with air supply system ensuring formation in chamber of mixture whose composition guarantees reliable forced ignition. Drive system of cylinder valves is made so as to ensure opening of intake valve only after closing of discharge valve. EFFECT: reliable ignition of methane-air mixture in chemical compression reactor cylinder and reduced content of oxygen in process products. 2 cl, 1 dwg
