Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
IN A REACTOR COMPRISING A VERTICALLY EXTENDING VESSEL, MEANS FOR INTRODUCING A STREAM OF REACTANT GAS TO THE LOWER PORTION OF SAID VESSEL, MEANS FOR WITHDRAWING THE FLUID PRODUCTS OF REACTION FROM THE UPPER PORTION THEREOF AND MEANS FOR REGULATING THE TEMPERATURE WITHIN SAID VESSEL COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF TUBE BUNDLES DISPOSED IN SAID REACTOR AND ADAPTED TO CONTAIN A TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADAPTED TO CONTAIN A TEMPERAPRISING SPACED UPPER AND LOWER HEADERS, A PLURALITY OF VERTICALLY EXTENDING TUBES BETWEEN SAID HEADERS AND A VERTICALLY EXTENDING CONDUIT FOR SAID TEMPERATURE CONTROL FLUID EXTENDING FROM SAID UPPER HEADER AND CONNECTING WITH THE UPPER EXTREMITY OF SAID REACTION VESSEL AS THE SUPPORT FOR SUSPENDING THE TUBE BUNDLE WITHIN SAID VESSEL, A FEED PIPE FOR THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL FLUID CONNNECTING WITH SAID LOWER HEADER, SAID FEED PIPE EXTENDING UPWARDLY THROUGH SAID UPPER HEADER AND PASSING VERTICALLY AND CENTRALLY THROUGH SAID CONDUIT TO A POINT BEYOND THE UPPER EXTREMITY OF SAID VESSEL.
