As mentioned above, the reaction is an endothermic reaction, and the reactor 4 is a shell
It is an and-tube heat exchanger type, and the tubes 1il11 are filled with a catalyst, and the raw material supplied to this catalyst bed is reformed into a hydrogen-containing gas through a catalytic reaction with the catalyst. This reaction heat is supplied from the heat medium on the shell side. Since the above reaction on the catalyst is relatively fast, the rate of hydrogen production in the reaction tube is determined by heat transfer.In order to improve heat transfer, the reactor is made of a 20φ to 40φ cage, and a 50φ for boat fishing. Therefore, the number of reaction tubes is very large, and the catalyst filling operation requires a great deal of labor. Since it is a multi-tube type, the volume on the shell side is structurally large, making the equipment large. On the other hand, it requires a complicated structure such as providing a partition plate to improve the heat transfer coefficient on the heat medium side.
