PCT No. PCT/DK90/00034 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 15, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 15, 1991 PCT Filed Feb. 12, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO90/09234 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 23, 1990.A cooled reactor for exothermic catalytic conversion of gaseous materials, e.g. for the oxo synthesis, for the conversion of hydrogen and nitrogen to form ammonia and for the reaction of carbon oxides with hydrogen to form methanol, comprises a cylindrical pressure shell (10), distributor means (34) for synthesis gas, at least one tube sheet (30) and one or more catalyst beds (20) provided with cooling tubes (38) for the indirect cooling of reacting gas. Each cooling tube (38) consists of an outer tube (4) provided with a heat exchanging outer wall (7); this outer tube surrounds and is coaxial with an inner tube (2) and hence defines an annular space the inner wall of which is provided with perforations (8) to direct the stream of cooling gas, which may consist of or contain components of the synthesis gas, to the annular space and along the heat exchanging wall. There is obtained a very rapid equalization of temperature differences in the catalyst bed, which causes an improved yield and hence makes it possible to decrease the amount of catalyst for a given process. |
