A honeycomb reactor or heat exchanger (12) includes a honeycomb (20) having a plurality of cells (22, 24) extending in parallel along a common direction from a first end (14) to a second end (16) thereof, with the cells being divided by walls (23), the honeycomb (20) having one or more first passages (28) formed within a first plurality of cells (24) of the honeycomb (20), the first passages (28) extending laterally from cell to cell within the honeycomb (20) and being accessible via ports or holes (30) in or through a side (18) of the honeycomb (20). The honeycomb (20) also as a plurality of second passages (29) formed within a second plurality of cells (22) within the honeycomb (20), the second passages (29) each extending from first cell openings (31a) at the first end (14) of the honeycomb (20) to second cell openings (31b) at the second end (16) of the honeycomb (20). The second passages (29) each describe at least one S-bend beginning at the first end (14) of the monolith (20) and extending to the second end (16) and there bending back to the first end (14) and there bending back again to the second end (16). |
