The electric catalyst in the apparatus is fitted with a heat exchanger
When hydrogen and nitrogen combine ueat is evolved as this reaction is exothermic and therefore the heat exchanger uses this heat to heat the incoming nitrogen and hydrogen gas and external heating is not required

Answer:
Since the reaction is exothermic the heat evolved further maintains the temperature. External heating is therefore not required after the reactants are initially heated.
