The present invention describes a novel type of internal exchanger for a gas-liquid-solid fluidized bed reactor employing a strongly thermal reaction. Said exchanger is modular in concept and comprises a central tube with separations allowing both supply of cooling fluid to the pins of the module and collection of partially vaporized fluid from said same pins.

The invention claimed is: 1. A heat exchange bundle contained inside a three-phase fluidized bed reactor constituted by a shell and provided with means for introducing reaction fluids, means for introducing a cooling fluid and means for evacuating partially vaporized cooling fluid, said bundle comprising at least two identical stages of modules, each module comprising an assembly of pins configured as similar pipes connected to one another in series by U-bend turns, the pipes being distributed around a central tube common to the module under consideration and to an assembly of modules aligned vertically with the module under consideration over the stages of the bundle, in which said central tube acts both to supply the pipes of the module with cooling fluid and to collect partially vaporized fluid from said same pipes. 2. A heat exchange bundle according to claim 1, in which the supply of the pipes of said bundle is alternated between two adjacent pins pipes either within the same module or between two consecutive stages of the bundle. 3. A heat exchange bundle according to claim 1, in which the exchange surface per unit volume of reaction medium is in the range 4 to 30 m2/m3. 4. A heat exchange bundle according to claim 1, in which the number of pins per module is equal to 2, 4, 6 or 8. 5. A heat exchange bundle according to claim 1, in which the number of stages is in the range 2 to 6. 6. A heat exchange bundle according to claim 1, in which the number of pins per module is equal to 4. 7. A heat exchange bundle according to claim 1, in which the number of modules per stage is in the range 4 to 80. 8. A heat exchange bundle according to claim 1, in which the central tube is divided by an internal crosspiece defining 4 equal vertical sectors, to define two independent circuits for supplying cooling liquid and recovering partially vaporized cooling liquid. 9. A heat exchange bundle according to claim 1, in which the pins of each module comprise in the range 10 to 50 vertical paths or passes. 10. A heat exchange bundle according to claim 1, in which each central tube of a module comprises primary sheets welded along the external wall of said central tube and extending along the whole length of said wall to increase the inertia. 11. A heat exchange bundle according to claim 10, in which in addition to the primary sheets, each central tube is provided with secondary sheets welded to the primary sheets to produce a T-shape in combination with the primary sheets. 12. A heat exchange bundle according to claim 10 wherein the exchange surface per unit volume is in the range of 4 to 10 m2/m3. 13. A heat exchange bundle according to claim 10 wherein the exchange surface per unit volume is in the range of 4 to 15 m2/m3.
