Bayonet tube exchanger-reactor allowing operation with pressure differences of the order of 100 bars between the tube side and the shell side

摘要

The present invention describes an exchanger-reactor for carrying out endothermic reactions, comprising a shell inside which a heat transfer fluid moves, said shell enclosing a plurality of tubes inside which the reactant fluid moves, the tubes being of the bayonet type, and the reactor not having a tube plate. This reactor may operate with a pressure difference between the tube side and the shell side which may be up to 100 bars.
