Abstract[English]
An expandable catalyst support configuration for a reactor, the expandable catalyst support configuration comprising: an expansion tube; and an expandable catalyst support surrounding the expansion tube, wherein the expansion tube is in the form of a spiral-wound tube which is configured to push the expandable catalyst support outwards when it unfurls during installation of the expandable catalyst support configuration in the reactor, and wherein the spiral-wound tube is formed of a spiral-wound metal sheet having surface areas which contact and slide over each other during unfurling, and wherein at least a portion of the surface areas have a roughened matte finish to facilitate unfurling of the spiral-wound metal sheet.[French]
L'invention concerne une configuration de support de catalyseur expansible pour un réacteur, la configuration de support de catalyseur expansible comprenant : un tube d'expansion ; et un support de catalyseur expansible entourant le tube d'expansion, le tube d'expansion se présentant sous la forme d'un tube enroulé en spirale qui est conçu pour pousser le support de catalyseur expansible vers l'extérieur lorsqu'il se déroule pendant l'installation de la configuration de support de catalyseur expansible dans le réacteur, et le tube enroulé en spirale étant formé d'une feuille métallique enroulée en spirale comprenant des zones de surface qui entrent en contact et coulissent les unes sur les autres pendant le déroulement, et au moins une partie des zones de surface présentant une finition mate rugueuse pour faciliter le déroulement de la feuille métallique enroulée en spirale.
