Reactor For Carrying Out A Chemical Reaction

Abstract: The invention relates to a reactor for carrying out a chemical reaction in a process fluid using an M-phase alternating current in order to heat the process fluid. The reactor comprises a reactor wall; at least one group of M reaction tubes, each of which has an electrically heatable heating section that extends between a first and a second removal region for a respective heating length, each said heating section having a respective feed region in a region which extends over 20% to 80% of the heating length of said heating section; electrically conductive feed elements, wherein each group M is paired with the feed elements connected to the feed regions of the group, and different phases of the alternating current can be fed to different feed elements paired with a group; electrically conductive first and second removal elements, each group being paired with M first and M second removal elements connected to the first or second removal regions of the group; and at least one first and at least one second star bridge. Each group is paired with a first and a second star bridge; for each group, the first removal elements paired with the group are connected to the first star bridge paired with the group; and the second removal elements paired with the group are connected to the second star bridge paired with the group.
