  • Publication number: 20180318786
    Abstract: A reactor has a heat exchanging body including therein a heat medium flow channel in which heat medium flows, and a reaction flow channel in which a reaction fluid flows, to exchange heat between the heat medium and the reaction fluid. A heat transfer promoter is provided in the heat medium flow channel and comes in close contact with the heat exchanging body to promote heat transfer between the heat medium and the heat exchanging body. The heat transfer promoter is an assembly of partial heat transfer promoters of a plurality of types. Replacing the partial heat transfer promoter with another type one, temperature distribution in the heat exchanging body is adjusted.

  • Publication number: 20180290121
    Abstract: A reactor has a heat exchanging body having a heat medium flow channel that a heat medium fluid flows and a reaction flow channel that a reaction fluid flow, and at least one detection part for detecting temperature of a fluid in one or both of the heat medium flow channel and the reaction flow channel. At least one installation hole extends in a skew position to the flow channel and includes an opening portion communicating with the flow channel. The detection part is installed at the opening portion and contacts the flowing fluid. At least one fluid guide hole is formed along the flow channel from the opening portion of the installation hole.

  • Publication number: 20180292085
    Abstract: A combustion gas supply system has an air compressor supplying compressed air, a fuel supply device that supplies a fuel and a combustor that generates a pressurized combustion gas by combusting the fuel and the compressed air. At a gas supply and recovery section, the pressurized combustion gas generated by the combustor is supplied to a heat consumption apparatus, and the pressurized combustion gas after heat consumption is recovered as a used gas. A part of the used gas recovered is supplementarily compressed by a re-pressurizing compressor and supplied to the compressed air.

  • Publication number: 20180093242
    Abstract: A reactor includes: a main reactor core including main reaction flow channels through which the raw material fluid flows, and main temperature control flow channels through which the heat medium flows along a flow direction of the raw material fluid flowing in the main reaction flow channel; and a pre-reactor core including pre-reaction flow channels of which an outlet side connects with an inlet side of the main reaction flow channels and through which the raw material fluid flows, and pre-temperature control flow channels of which an inlet side connects with an outlet side of the main reaction flow channels and through which the product serving as the heat medium flows along a flow direction of the raw material fluid flowing in the pre-reaction flow channel.
