摘要:
The present invention concerns a method with associated equipment for feeding two gases into and out of a multi-channel monolithic structure. The two gases will normally be two gases with different chemical and/or physical properties. The gases, here called gas 1 and gas 2, are fed by means of a manifold head into channels for gas 1 and gas 2 respectively. Gas 1 and gas 2 are distributed in the monolith in such a way that at least one of the channel walls is a shared or joint wall for gas 1 and gas 2. The walls that are joint walls for the two gases will then constitute a contact area between the two gases that is available for mass and/or heat exchange. This means that the gases must be fed into channels that are spread over the entire cross-sectional area of the monolith. The present invention makes it possible to utilise the entire contact area or all of the monolith's channel walls directly for heat and/or mass transfer between gas 1 and gas 2. This means that the channel for one gas will always have the other gas on the other side of its channel walls, i.e. all adjacent or neighbouring channels for gas 1 contain gas 2 and vice versa. The present invention will be particularly applicable for making compact ceramic membrane structures and/or heat exchanger structures that must handle gases at high temperature. Typical applications are oxygen-conducting ceramic membranes, heat exchangers for gas turbines and heat exchanger reformers for production of synthetic gas.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a device for combustion of a carbon containing fuel in a nitrogen free atmosphere, and a method for operating said device. The device may be integrated with a power generation plant (i.e. gas turbine(s)) to obtain an energy efficient process for generation of power with reduced emission of carbon dioxide and NOx to the atmosphere. Furthermore, the device may be integrated with a chemical plant performing endothermic reactions.
