Abstract:
A reactor comprising:an upper heat exchanger having first and second opposite sides for fluid flow on each side and an inlet and an outlet for fluid flow on each opposite side thereof, said upper heat exchanger being aligned with a chamber block in a relationship in which an outlet of the upper heat exchanger is in communication with a fluid flow inlet for a chamber block; a chamber block having an inlet on one side for the introduction of a fluid flow therein, an outlet on the opposite side for the exit of a fluid flow therefrom, and a plurality of longitudinally cavities extending therethrough from the inlet on one side to the outlet on the other side, the cavities being charged with a catalyst; a lower heat exchanger having first and second opposite sides for fluid flow on each side and an inlet and an outlet for fluid flow on each opposite side thereof, said lower heat exchanger being aligned with the chamber block in a relationship in which an outlet of the lower heat exchanger is in communication with a fluid flow inlet for the chamber block; a platform securing the upper heat exchanger, the chamber block, and the lower heat exchanger in a serial alignment; orifices for fluid flow in operative correspondence with the inlets and outlets of the heat exchangers; and a channel for fluid flow operatively disposed with respect to the platform to allow fluid flow from the outlets of the heat exchangers to the inlet of the chamber block.
