FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: method of converting a reaction vessel with a cover having opposite openings, from an axial flow device to a counter-flow device, where the device for collecting the process medium is placed inside the cover and by linking one or more of the said openings through the fluid medium, the vessel is provided with a catalyst or sorbent bed in form of particles around the said device for collecting process medium, and supply into the vessel is adapted through one or more of the said openings such that, the process medium fed into the vessel passes coaxially and in the opposite direction through the said fixed catalyst or sorbent bed and is collected by the device for collecting the process medium.
EFFECT: reaction vessel with counter-flow in accordance with the invention is easier to make compared to devices with radial flow or counter-flow designed using previous technology.
