GAS CENTRIFUGE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: separation of isotopes. SUBSTANCE: centrifuge has a rotor with end covers which form, together with inner partitions, separation chambers for light and heavy components. There is also a gas distributing collector entering the rotor along its axis of rotation and being provided with separation pipes for light and heavy components and a feeding pipe with radial outlet holes. Two guiding shells which form a ring chamber are coaxially fixed on the feeding pipe under and above these holes. With its outlet hole (its inner diameter should not be less than 0.4 of the inner diameter of rotor), the chamber faces the separation chamber for light components. The external diameter - not less than 0.8 of the inner diameter of rotor. EFFECT: higher efficiency. 3 cl, 3 dwg
