Abstract

A method for carrying out chemical reactions in so-called pseudo-isothermal conditions and in a predetermined reaction environment, for example a catalytic bed, comprises the step of arranging in the reaction environment at least one heat exchanger crossed by an operating fluid along a main direction.

Claims (6)

1. A method for carrying out chemical reactions in pseudo-isothermal conditions and in a predetermined reaction environment, comprising the step of:

feeding a first flow of an operating fluid in a heat exchange chamber of at least one heat exchanger arranged in said environment, said first flow operating fluid crossing said heat exchange chamber of said at least one heat exchanger along a flow direction; and

feeding further flows of said operating fluid at different points into said first flow of said operating fluid flowing in said heat exchange chamber along said flow direction,

wherein said heat exchange chamber fed by the plurality of flows of operating fluid is the sole heat exchange chamber of the at least one heat exchanger, and

wherein said first flow of said operating fluid and said further flows of said operating fluid are all fed into said heat exchange chamber through a same distribution channel of the at least one heat exchanger.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined reaction environment is a catalytic bed.
