EWOLUCJA STANOWISKA REAKTORA METANIZACJI PODCZAS PROCESU PROWADZENIA BADAŃ LABORATORYJNYCH

The paper describes the laboratory stand of the methanation reactor located in the Department of Power Engineering and Turbomachinery at the Silesian University of Technology. The article presents the results of laboratory research from the originally designed laboratory stand equipped with a catalyst in the form of nickel dust, which was characterized by high thermal inertia. The process of modernization of the test stand was described, allowing to reduce the thermal inertia of the tested system. The test results obtained before and after the modernization of the system were compared.
