Abstract
An isothermal chemical reactor () comprising an array of radially arranged plate-like heat exchange elements () inside a reaction space, each element comprising feeding and collecting ducts and a bundle of parallel tubes () defining channels () for a heat exchange medium, the tubes () having an elongated cross section and being disposed with a variable orientation relative to the radial direction of the reactor, so that inner tubes near the axis of the reactor have the cross-section major axis aligned with said radial direction, and outer tubes have the same axis perpendicular to the radial direction. The preferred structure of a plate-like heat exchange element is also disclosed.
