    Abstract: The invention relates to a pump (1) comprising a pump feed tube (13) for transporting a heat exchange medium (6) for a reactor containing a bundle of catalyst tubes (2). The pump (1) has a housing (14) that surrounds the pump feed tube (13) and comprises an opening (15) in the lower part of the housin g (14), which allows the heat exchange medium (6) that is drawn from the lower section of the reactor by the pump (1) to flow into the housing (14). The medium flows upwards in the section lying between the internal wall of the housing (14) and the external wall of the pump feed tube (13), optionally ov er a heat exchanger (18) and into the interior of the pump feed tube (13) via a n opening (16) in the upper section of said pump feed tube (13). The medium th en flows through the pump feed tube from top to bottom, into the reactor via an opening (17) in the lower section of said tube (13) and into the upper secti on of the intermediate chamber between the catalyst tubes (2).

    Abstract: The invention proposes a reactor (1) having a contact tube bundle (2) through whose space surrounding the contact tubes a heat-exchange medium circuit is passed, with ring lines (3, 4) at both ends of the reactor with jacket apertures (5, 6) for the supply and discharge of a heat-exchange medium by means of a pump via an external heat exchanger, where the heat-exchange medium is fed to the lower ring line (4) and is discharged to the heat exchanger via the upper ring line (3), and with baffle plates (7) which leave a passage cross section alternately in the reactor center and at the reactor edge. The upper (3) and lower (4) ring lines are each divided into an inner (11, 13) and an outer (12, 14) ring line by a cylindrical partition wall (8, 9), and the heat-exchange medium is fed to the outer lower ring line (14), via a region outside the reactor to the inner upper ring line (11), via the jacket apertures (5) of the latter to the region surrounding the contact tubes (2), via the jacket apertures (6) to the inner lower ring line (13) and subsequently via a region outside the reactor to the outer upper ring line (12).
