Selection of heating medium and considerations for equipment manufacturing
Thread Content
I have a question for everyone. We are now designing such a tubular solid-bed reactor, where the heating medium in the shell side is molten salt (at 400 degrees), but the catalyst in the tube side is an organic substance; there is a vigorous reaction when the two come into contact. Question: 1. The reactor currently has only a single tube sheet (its diameter is large, making it difficult to use a double tube sheet as well as complicating maintenance). What methods can be used to address the leakage issue? ； 2. Are there any alternative heating media that will not cause a violent reaction when in contact with the material?
Consider high-temperature heat transfer oil or direct electric heating
Using microwaves, electromagnetic energy, light energy, thermal radiation
