Abstract:
The invention relates to a heat exchanger-reactor or heat exchanger including at least three stages with on each stage at least one area of millimetric channels that promote the exchange of heat and at least one distribution area upstream and/or downstream of the area of millimetric channels. The invention is characterized in that: said heat exchanger-reactor or heat exchanger is a component devoid of assembly interfaces between the various stages; and the channels in the area of millimetric channels are separated by walls less than 3 mm thick.

Claim (Index 9):
An exchanger-reactor comprising at least first, second, and third stages with, on each stage, at least one millimeter-scale channels zone encouraging exchanges of heat and at least one distribution zone upstream and/or downstream of the millimeter-scale channels zone, wherein:\n said exchanger-reactor or exchanger is a component that has no assembly interfaces between the various stages, and the channels of the millimeter-scale channels zone are separated by walls of a thickness less than 3 mm; said exchanger-reactor is a catalytic exchanger-reactor; the first stage comprises at least a distribution zone and at least a millimeter-scale channels zone adapted and configured for circulating a gaseous stream at a temperature at least greater than 700\u00b0 C. so that the circulated gaseous stream supplies some of the heat necessary for the catalytic reaction; the second stage comprises at least a distribution zone and at least a millimeter-scale channels zone for circulating a gaseous stream reagent in a lengthwise direction of the millimeter-scale channels covered with catalyst in order to cause the gaseous stream to react and produce a gaseous product stream; the third stage comprises at least a distribution zone and at least a millimeter-scale channels zone for circulating the gaseous product stream produced on the second plate so that the circulated gaseous product stream supplies some of the heat necessary for the catalytic reaction; and on the second and the third stages, a system adapted and configured to circulate the gaseous product stream from the second stage to the third stage.
