Abstract
A process for catalytic heat exchange which comprises providing a ceramic coated metal heat transfer membrane having two sides, one of which is catalytic, flowing a first gas over the catalytic side of the ceramic coated metal heat transfer membrane to generate heat, and flowing a second gas or vapor over the opposite side of the membrane whereby heat is transferred from the first gas to the second gas or vapor. Apparatus for carrying out the process is also disclosed.
