How Do Heat Exchangers Enhance Catalytic Efficiency?
Heat exchangers enhance catalytic efficiency in several ways:
Temperature Control: By maintaining optimal temperatures, heat exchangers ensure the catalyst operates within its most efficient range, leading to higher conversion rates and selectivity. Energy Recovery: Heat exchangers can recover wasted heat from exothermic reactions and use it to preheat reactants, reducing overall energy consumption. Safety: Proper temperature management prevents runaway reactions and thermal degradation, enhancing the safety of the catalytic process.
