Abstract

La présente invention concerne un appareil compact multiréacteurs pour réactions catalytiques endothermiques. Une partie de chaque réacteur s'étend dans une chambre de combustion d'un four. Des chicanes ou boucliers sont disposés autour de ces parties des réacteurs tubulaires pour les protéger contre une chaleur radiante excessive provenant de la paroi de la chambre de combustion et pour répartir de façon la plus homogène la chaleur parmi et autour de tous les réacteurs. L'invention est particulièrement utile pour une installation de reforming à la vapeur d'hydrocarbures pour produire de l'hydrogène.The present invention relates to a compact multi-jet apparatus for endothermic catalytic reactions. Part of each reactor extends into a combustion chamber of a furnace. Baffles or shields are arranged around these parts of the tubular reactors to protect them from excessive radiant heat from the wall of the combustion chamber and to more evenly distribute the heat among and around all of the reactors. The invention is particularly useful for an installation for the steam reforming of hydrocarbons to produce hydrogen.
