Process for preparing a catalyst for flameless generation of heat and a device for receiving the catalyst

摘要

A catalyst for converting hydrogen or hydrocarbon liquids or gases to produce heat is prepared using a fibrous carrier of aluminum of silicon, e.g. with a density of less than 4 g/cm3>, and applying an aqueous solution of a metal salt with an organic solvent promoter. Prior to application the solution is magnetically polarized to improve solubility. The material is then dried at 40 to 300 [deg]C, preferably 100 to 200 [deg]C. An independent claim is also included for a catalytic heater containing a pre-heating arrangement (5) and a catalyst of this type. The housing (4) is open on one side and has an inlet (7) for a gas or liquid, preferably supplied at a pressure of less than 5 mbar.
