Abstract
A process for preparing ethylene polymers including the step of polymerizing ethylene or copolymerizing ethylene and one or more comonomers at a temperature from 100° C. to 350° C. and a pressure of from 110 MPa to 350 MPa in a continuously operated tubular polymerization reactor, thereby yielding a reaction mixture, wherein the tubular polymerization reactor has a reactor cooling jacket for removing the heat of the reaction and a pressure control valve, the reaction mixture leaves the reactor through the pressure control valve, the reaction mixture then passes a post-reactor cooler equipped with a post-reactor cooling jacket, the reactor cooling jacket is provided with a reactor coolant having an inlet temperature and the post-reactor cooling jacket is provided with a post-reactor coolant having an inlet temperature, and the inlet temperature of the post-reactor coolant is independently controlled from the inlet temperature of the reactant coolant.
