Abstract:
In a catalytic reactor including catalyst carriers inserted into a plurality of channels defined by a corrugated fin, one end of the corrugated fin is located halfway on a horizontal wall, and a vertical wall of the corrugated fin adjacent to a side bar is arranged to provide a space where one of the catalyst carriers is insertable between the side bar and the vertical wall. An end portion of the corrugated fin in a second direction is brazed to a tube plate between the side bar and the vertical wall of the corrugated fin.
