Abstract:
1. A heat exchange-type reactor, comprising: a reaction chamber comprising a plurality of contact tubes filled with catalyst materials mounted therein; and at least one shield plate to partition an inner space of the reaction chamber into at least two separate spacers; a first holder connected to the reaction chamber, the first holder that directly supplies a first heat transfer medium to the reaction chamber and directly receives a second heat transfer medium supplied from the reaction chamber; a heat exchange unit connected to the reaction chamber, the heat exchange unit that receives the heat transfer medium from the reaction chamber and perform heat exchange of the first heat transfer medium; a second holder connected to the heat exchanger and the reaction chamber, the second holder that receives the second heat transfer medium from the heat exchange unit and directly supplies the second heat transfer medium to the reaction chamber; and a regulating valve connected between the first holder and the second holder, the regulating valve regulating a flow rate of the second heat transfer medium received in the second holder; a mixer in which a mixture together with a reactant generated during passing of the reaction chamber, a mixed gas containing oxygen, and a steam is manufactured; another reaction chamber connected to the mixer, the other reaction chamber that receives the mixture form the mixer; a third holder connected to the other reaction chamber and provided with a steam line to heat a third heat transfer medium, the third holder directly supplies the third heat transfer medium to the other reaction chamber; a first 4-way valve connected to the other reaction chamber, the first 4-way valve that directly receives a fourth heat transfer medium from the other reaction chamber; a second 4-way valve connected to the first 4-way valve, the second 4-way valve that receives the third heat transfer medium from the first 4-way valve; a fourth holder connected to the second 4-way valve, the fourth holder that receives the third heat transfer medium from the second 4-way valve, is provided with another steam line to heat the third heat transfer medium, and directly supplied the fourth heat transfer medium to the other reaction chamber; another heat exchange unit connected between the first and second 4-way valves, the other heat exchange unit that receives the fourth heat transfer medium from the first 4-way valve, perform heat exchange of the fourth heat transfer medium, and supplies the fourth heat transfer medium to the second 4-way valve; and another regulating valve connected between the third holder and the fourth holder, the regulating valve regulating a flow rate of the third heat transfer medium received in the fourth holder; and wherein the first 4-way valve receives the third heat transfer medium from the other reaction chamber and the second 4-way valve supplies the fourth heat transfer medium to the third holder.
