摘要 |
The present invention relates to a device and a method for performing catalytic reactions in a plate heat exchanger, comprising a catalyzer (11) and a plurality of interconnected plate heat exchanger elements (10) having an inlet port (12) for supplying a first medium for interchange of heat with a second medium to be processed catalytically, supplied to the heat exchanger element (10). The heat exchanger elements (10) comprise a shaped first plate 816) connected to a shaped second plate (17) forming a space (18) between the plates accessible to the first medium through the inlet port (12), wherein the first medium can flow inside the heat exchanger element (10) and through apertures (14) arranged across th eplane of the heat exchanger elements, through which at least the second medium can flow for flowing against the catalyzer (11) and for interchange of heat with the first medium flowing in the heat exchanger elements. The catalyzer is arranged between the interconnected heat exchanger elements (10). The invention also relates to a method for the manufacture of such a device. |
