    catalyst-retaining springs

    Applications of Catalyst-Retaining Springs

    • Reactors: In chemical reactors, catalyst-retaining springs keep the catalyst bed stable, ensuring uniform flow of reactants and consistent reaction rates.

    • Environmental Control Systems: Springs are used to secure catalysts that break down pollutants in air or water purification systems.

    • Manufacturing: Springs hold catalysts in place within manufacturing equipment, ensuring they are effective in processes like polymerization, cracking, or synthesis.

    Benefit of Using Catalyst-Retaining Springs

    • Optimal Catalyst Positioning: Ensures that the catalyst is properly positioned for maximum contact with reactants, enhancing the efficiency of the chemical reactions.

    • Uniform Distribution: Prevents channeling or uneven flow, leading to more consistent and predictable outcomes.

    types and accessories of spring catalyst-retaining springs

    • Catalyst Spring Gang Assembly - The catalyst spring “gang” assembly shown below provides more depth accuracy, time-saving insertion and removal, and greatly reduces inspection time.
    • Long-Stem Catalyst Spring - Long-stem catalyst springs are typically used in deep tube sheets. The crossbar at the bottom of the stem allows for faster inspection time.
    • Catalyst-Retaining Spring - Catalyst-Retaining springs are springs that do not require any assembly. These springs are the most economically-produced springs but do not offer the multiple insertion and quick inspection benefits that the assemblies offer.
    • Heavy-Duty Catalyst Spring - Heavy-duty catalyst springs are used to support heavier catalyst loading requirements.
    • Large-Tube Catalyst Retaining Springs - Katy Spring offers catalyst-retaining springs for large tubes, up to 3” ID.
    • Short-Stem Catalyst Spring - Short-stem catalyst springs are typically used in shallow tube sheets. The crossbar at the bottom of the stem allows for faster inspection time.In addition, the end configuration allows for hand insertion and retraction.
    • Inlay Assemblies - Inlay assemblies are typically used in acrylic manufacturing applications. Thermocouple Catalyst Spring Gang Assembly
    • Insertion and Retraction Tools - Katy Spring can assist with the design and manufacturing of custom insertion and retraction tools. These tools can be shipped with the springs to be inserted, saving time in searching for tools used for previous turnarounds.
    • Twistie or Spirals - Twisties or spirals, typically used for deep tube sheets, can be supplied in various lengths and in various “spirals-per-foot” configurations. Catalyst spring can be added to the end.
    • Fish-Tape Wire - Fish-tape wire provided in rolls like the one shown below, can be cut to almost any length and supplied and many different wire diameters.
    • Punch Wires - Punch wires are can be made up to 45 feet long with custom-end configurations that can be adapted for different types of punch-wire equipment. Punch wires are typically shipped in custom-made pipes to ensure safe packaging.
