Ammonia reactor

Pressure
Ammonia reactor

Overview

In the ammonia reactor, nitrogen reacts with hydrogen to form ammonia. The temperature in the reactor can be anywhere up to 500 °C at pressures of 200 bar. To monitor the system pressure, the measurement itself does not take place in the interior of the reactor, but in the cooler inlet pipe of the reactor.
