Reactor For Carrying Out A Chemical Reaction In A Process Fluid And Method

Abstract: The invention relates to a reactor for carrying out a chemical reaction, which proceeds at least partially at a temperature of at least 500°C, in a process fluid using multiphase alternating current, comprising a reactor chamber, which is surrounded by thermally insulating reactor walls, and multiple substantially straight reaction tubes; wherein the reaction tubes run through the reactor chamber between at least one tube inlet opening and at least one tube outlet opening in mutually opposing reactor walls and consist of a material which allows electrical resistance heating; wherein two electrically conductive bridges, which are spaced from each other along the reaction tubes, are provided in the reactor chamber and connect the reaction tubes electrically conductively to each other; wherein electrically conductive current feed-in assemblies are provided, which extend through one or more feed-in openings in one of the reactor walls, wherein each reaction tube is connected in an electrically conductive manner to one of the current feed-in assemblies, wherein each current feed-in assembly is connected electrically conductively to one of the reaction tubes between the bridges and is or can be connected to one of the phases of the alternating current.
