Various embodiments include a reactor for carrying out a chemical equilibrium reaction between two gaseous starting materials and a gaseous product comprising: a pressure vessel including a reaction space with an inlet for the two starting materials and a first outlet for the gaseous product; a catalytic material arranged in the reaction space; a condensation area in the reaction space for the gaseous product; and a cooling duct structure cooling the condensation area. The cooling duct structure and the housing of the pressure vessel are constructed in a single piece. The reaction space includes a reaction duct running in a convoluted or helical manner between partitions within the pressure vessel. A cross section of the reaction duct extends between opposite face sides of the pressure vessel.
