Abstract
Purpose of the study was to investigate theoretical and technical conditions for catalytic combustion in combination with simultaneous heat exchange and to investigate market potential for catalytic heat exchange burners. Design of catalytic heat exchanger is based on both theoretical and practical experience. Function of the burner has been evaluated in dynamic computer simulation programs and by practical experiments. The performance of a catalytic heat exchanger, based on theoretical calculations, is presented in the present study. Burner construction is based on heat exchange sections, each of which produces a certain amount of heat. Different effect output levels can be obtained by combination of a number of heat exchange sections. Combustion reactions are dominated by mass transfer limitations. This observation has been confirmed by theoretical calculations and practical experiments. The properties of a catalytic heat exchanger with an effect output of 100 kW has been investigated by a computer simulation program. The maximum catalyst temperature was about 1100 degrees C and the turnover for the reaction was about 95%. The conclusions from the simulation experiments are that there are a number of different factors which can be changed in order to effect the combustion reactions and the heat flow characteristics in
