摘要： A reactor includes a plurality of metal leaves which extend from an interior of the reactor to its exterior. The leaves occupy a space between an internal mandrel and an external tube. In one embodiment, the leaves are generally flat pieces of foil, stacked together so that they do not touch except at spacers formed in the pieces. In another embodiment, the leaves are formed of a pleated and crimped foil, each leaf being defined by a piece of foil that has been folded over upon itself. In both embodiments, the leaves extend from the internal mandrel, radially outward to an inner surface of the tube. The reactor facilitates the transfer of heat between the outside of the reactor and its inside region.

摘要： A low-cost, high-temperature heat exchanger is made from a notched piece of metal, the metal being folded back and forth upon itself to form a monolith. The notches in the metal piece create openings, communicating with distinct sides of the monolith. Ducts are attached to the openings. Cut pieces of corrugated metal, which may have a catalyst coating, are inserted between folds of the monolith. The heat exchanger may be used as part of a fuel cell system, or in other industrial applications, to recover waste heat, or to conduct various catalytic and non-catalytic reactions. The invention also includes an element, or building block, for a high-temperature heat exchanger, including a folded metal monolith with metal combs inserted, the monolith and the combs defining seams which are hermetically sealed.

摘要： A reactor including a monolith having a plurality of fins in an annular arrangement for receiving fluid flow through the reactor. The monolith is disposed within a generally cylindrical outer tube, and around a corrugated inner tube. The reactor includes a device for urging the monolith radially outward, so as to maintain contact between the monolith and the outer tube.

摘要： A catalytic reactor or heat exchanger includes a monolith defining a plurality of leaves, the monolith having a generally annular cross -section. The monolith is disposed within a generally cylindrical outer tube, and around a corrugated inner tube. The reactor includes a device for urging the monolith radially outward, so as to maintain contact between the monolith and the outer tube. Such device may include a coned washer, or it may be defined by a folded flap that is integral with the inner tube. In either case, the reactor compensates for metal creep, and virtually insures continued contact between the monolith and the outer tube.

摘要： A reactor cartridge includes a plurality of spaced- apart monoliths , formed along a tube or other mandrel . Each monolith is formed of a pair of flat and corrugated metal strips , spirally wound around the tube . These strips could be made of solid or screen material . The corrugations are skewed, such that the monolith imparts a swirl to gases flowing through it . The corrugations of the strips in adjacent monoliths are oriented differently, so that successive monoliths impart different swirls to the gases, so as to promote mixing of gases and better heat transfer from the exterior to the interior of the cartridge. An insertion and removal tool simplifies the procedure for stacking such cartridges in a long pipe, or for removing cartridges from the pipe. The all-metal construction facilitates heat transfer through the entire reactor, and avoids the problems associated with packed ceramic beds.
