Abstract:
1. A reactor and heat exchanger cooler assembly which is comprised of tubular reactor having an upper inlet head and a lower outlet head, reaction tubes packed with catalyst within said reactor supported by an inlet end tube sheet and an outlet end tube sheet, a tubular heat exchanger having an upper end and a lower end, and comprising upper and lower end tube sheets supporting tubes within said exchanger, the upper end of said exchanger being integrally affixed around an opening of the reactor lower outlet head thus forming an integral structure with the reactor, said opening of the reactor lower outlet head being for the passage of reaction gases from the reactor to said heat exchanger and through tubes in said heat exchanger whereby said reaction gases are cooled by indirect heat exchange with a heat exchange fluid introduced into said heat exchanger.
