Method and device for thermoregulating fluid bed catalytic reactors operating at high temperature

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method and device for controlling the temperature in fluid bed catalytic reactors operating at high temperature. A controlled and adjustable amount of water is fed to a cooling device consisting of heat exchange tubular elements arranged inside the fluidized bed, the amount of water introduced being such that the water is thoroughly evaporated the generated, steam is superheated under a further heat absorption at high, temperatures, from the fluid bed and the control of the heat, exchange and therefore of the fluid bed temperature is effected by regulating the amount of water fed. The temperature control device of the invention comprises a plurality of heat exchange tubular elements …
