Title:
PRESSURE RESISTANT HONEYCOMB REACTOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/141366
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods and devices for providing a honeycomb monolith reactors 12 or heat exchangers 12 having improved pressure resistance are disclosed, including the method of (1) providing a honeycomb monolith 20 having a plurality of cells 22, 24 extending in parallel along a common direction, with the cells divided by walls 23, (2) plunge-machining at least a plurality of walls 32 dividing selected adjacent cells 24 of the honeycomb monolith 20 by inserting a plunge machining tool 70 into the honeycomb monolith 20 along a direction 54 lying at an angle to the common direction, such that the machined walls 32 each are breached by an aperture 48 having an edge 50, the edge 50 having a shape, in the direction around the aperture 48, of a smooth curve, and (3) plugging the selected adjacent cells 24 such that at least a portion of the aperture 48 remains open.
