Reactor temperature effect in reforming

Claim 1

IN THE METHOD OF REFORMING NAPHTHA WHICH COMPRISES PASSING A CHARGE MAPHTHA AND HYDROGEN IN SERIES FLOW THROUGH A PLURALITY OF REFORMING REACTION ZONES EACH OF WHICH CONTAINS PLATINUM-CONTAINING REFORMING CATALYST AT REFORMING TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE AND AT AN OVERALL LIQUID HOURLY SPACE VELOCITY DEPENDENT UPON THE TOTAL VOLUME OF THE AFORESAID REFORMING CATALYST WITH WHICH THE AFORESIDE CHARGE NAPHTHA IS CONTACTED IN ALL OF THE AFORESIDE PLURALITY OF REFORMING REACTION ZONES, REHEATING THE EFFLUENT OF EACH OF THE AFORESAID PLURALITY OF REFORMING REACTION ZONES TO REFORMING TEMPERATURE PRIOR TO INTRODUCING SAID EFFLUENT INTO THE NEXT REFORMING REACTION ZONE IN THE SERIES, AND RECOVERING A REFORMATE, THE IMPROVEMENT WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING THE AFORESIDE CHARGE NAPHTHA WITH THE AFORESIDE REFORMING CATALYST AT A SUBSTANTIALLY CONSTANT LIQUID HOURLY SPACE VELOCITY IN THE FIRST REFORMING REACTION ZONE INDEPENDENT OF THE AFORESAID OVERALL LIQUID HOURLY SPACE VELOCITY AT REFORMING TEMPERATURES HIGHER THAN THE AUTOGENOUS QUENCH POINT OF THE DEHDROGENATION OF NAPHTHENES TO PRODUCE A REACTION MIXTURE HAVING A TEMPERATURE SUBSTANTIALLY THAT
