Optimised use of cryogenic fluids in low-temperature reactors.

Author(s) : ARENCIBIA J. P. Jr

Summary

A new generation of reactors with high heat flux capabilities can now perform exothermic or endothermic reactions at a wide temperature operating range of -200 to 300 °C. A unitary thermal delivery module is used to provide cooling or heating directly to the reactor externally at the vessel wall and internally within the reactor. This module uses working fluids that transfer energy while changing phase. The resulting constant temperature enables the specialised reactors to outperform conventional reactors by up to 16 times.
