63. AUDIBERT, E. (Societe nationale de recherches sur le traitment des combustibles). Apparatus for Effective Catalytic Reactions of Gases Such as Synthesis of Ammonia or Methanol. United States Patent 1,870,665. Aug. 9, 1932. Chem. Abs., vol. 26, 1932, p. 5457.

Describes various details of construction. The apparatus comprises a heat exchanger, a catalyzing tube, and a preheater, which can be placed in 1, 2, or 3 castings. Provision is made inside the reactor for heat exchange and for preheatings. A combination of valves is provided so that the temperature in the catalyst bed may be controlled by proportioning preheated and superheated feed.
