SHELL-AND-TUBE REACTORS WITH LIQUID COOLING UNDER PRESSURE Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B01J8/06 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to set of prefabricated units of shell-and-tube reactors made with the possibility of assembly on construction site to form shell-and-tube reactor in order to perform catalytic reactions in gas and/or liquid phase. Reactor comprises a bundle of vertical reactor tubes filled with catalyst, ends of which are tightly fixed in upper and lower tube plates. Tubes are surrounded by reactor shell, which is tightly connected to tube plates. Reactor body together with tube plates forms pressurised reservoir, in which liquid coolant washes reactor tubes under pressure. Tube plates are covered with reactor covers, which are joined to reactor body and with which reactor pipes communicate. In reactor there are supply pipes for supply of coolant that washes reactor tubes under pressure and drain pipes to drain coolant that washes reactor tubes under pressure. Supply and/or drain pipes pass through tube plate in axial direction.

EFFECT: such design provides for the possibility of easy transportation and assembly.
