HORIZONTAL MULTI-SHELVED CATALYTIC REACTOR FOR HEAT-STRESSED PROCESSES OF CHEMICAL SYNTHESIS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: chemical engineering; production of reactors for catalytic synthesis.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to the field of chemical engineering, predominantly to reactors of catalytic synthesis. The horizontal multi-shelved catalytic reactor consists of a load-bearing plate, a high-pressure cylindrical body with a cover, which may be transported along the axis of the catalytic unit. The reactor has the typical component and the design of components of the catalytic unit, which consists of the sealed cylindrical catalytic containers, the load-bearing support frame and the module-type heat-exchange devices. The load-bearing support frame represents a crosswise section beam cantileverly fixed on the load-bearing support plate. The vertical plane of symmetry of the frame coincides with the longitudinal axis of the high-pressure body, and on the shelves there are catalytic containers installed in two parallel rows. The frame is cantileverly fixed to the load-bearing plate, through which all inlets and outlets are carried out. The plate is upright mounted on the horizontal foundation and the high-pressure body is joined with it. In the module heat-exchange devices there are tracts for passage of the reactionary gases and the heat-transfer medium. The invention ensures improved conditions of the reactor operation, reduction of its overall dimensions and the mass, simplification of the process of manufacture.

EFFECT: the invention ensures improved conditions of the reactor operation, reduction of its overall dimensions and the mass, simplification of the process of manufacture.
