can any one tell me what is tube cooled reactor? is there any difference between gas cooled and tube cooled reactors?

is there any difference between reactor and converter.

is linde isothermal reactor a type of tube cooled reactor.

which type a lurgi methanol reactor is.

what is impact on any process by tube cooled reactor?

A tube cooled reactor is a reactor with a cooling medium flowing through the tubes.

 

The cooling medium through the tubes can be gas or liquid or boiling water (steam generation). It can also be the reactor feed flowing countercurrent through the tubes in the reactor bed.

 

The Linde isothermal reactor normally uses boiling water (BFW in, steam out) as cooling medium for exothermic reactions. In theory however the Linde design could also be used with a heating medium through the tubes for endothermic reactions.

 

Purpose of cooling coils (or heating coils) in a reactor is to minimise exothermic temperature rise (or endothermic temperature drop) through the reactor catalyst bed so as to improve conversion.

i also want to know what can be its(isothermal tube cooled reactor) operational complexities,Servicibility, manufacturing complexity, catalyst regeneration,relative cost and at last its maturity?
plz....tell me

Hope this will answer some of your questions.
