INTERNAL COMBUSTION HEAT EXCHANGE REACTOR FOR ENDOTHERMIC REACTION IN FIXED BED Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B01J8/02 C01B3/26 

FIELD: process engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to reactors used in steam reforming reactions. Proposed reactor comprises chamber, appliances to feed charge via catalytic zone in fixed bed, appliances to collect gas wastes flowing out of catalytic zone and appliances to heat said zone. Appliances to collect gas wastes have channels penetrating through catalytic zone and distributed therein and arranged between heating appliances. Heating appliances are contained in shells, in section immersed in catalytic zone. Shells are closed at one ends and closed on opposite ends. Open end is secured to top tubular plate that confines collection chamber arranged above catalytic zone. Heating appliances comprises combustion zone arranged nearby catalytic zone, appliances to feed combustion zone with oxidising gas mix and combustible gas, and appliances to discharge combustion gas wastes.

EFFECT: optimum heat distribution.
