Abstract
Abstract A device for the production of a homogenous gas mixture from two gas streams of different parameters in which a free equalizing space downstream of a superimposed catalyst layer has a mixing assembly provided with upper and lower plates carrying mixing tubes equipped with restricted orifices. Quench gas is introduced into a closed duct disposed about the mixing tubes and apertures in the duct at locations below the restricted orifices permit passage of the quench gas to the mixing tubes. The quench gas is introduced into the tubes through apertures located above the restricted tube orifices. The gas mixture passes from the mixing tubes to a distribution space and thence to a downstream catalyst layer.
