Abstract
A plate type shift converter comprises a stack of alternately piled shift reactor plates and cooling plates and various gas intake and exhaust manifolds mounted on lateral faces of the stack. Each shift reactor plate includes a plate member, a masking frame provided along the periphery of the plate member, a gas entrance formed in the masking frame, a gas exit formed at a location opposite the gas entrance in the masking frame and a shift catalyst located in the masking frame. Each cooling plate includes a plate member, a masking frame provided along the periphery of the plate member, a gas entrance formed in the masking frame, a gas exit formed at a location opposite the second gas entrance in the masking frame and a fin plate located in the masking frame. When gases are introduced to the shift reactor plate, the gases undergo the CO shift reaction (exothermic reaction) as they flow contacting the shift catalyst. At the same time, the gases are cooled by the cooling plates which sandwich the flow of the gases or sandwich the shift reactor plate.
