Abstract

The heat-exchanger reactor comprises a cylindrical metal containment (1) intended for receiving a chemical substance, this containment (1) having passing axially through it a metal tube (2) intended for the circulation of a heat-exchange fluid. The tube (2) possesses radial fins (3) extending substantially over the entire height of the cylindrical containment (1) and over the entire radial distance between the tube (2) and the inner lateral face of the cylindrical containment (1). The invention is used particularly in devices for the generation of cold or heat by solid/gas reaction.
