CATALYTIC HEAT SIMULATOR Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: military equipment, applicable for simulation of heat radiations in false objects of armament and military equipment of any shape and area with a low probability of identification, creation of false heat targets for projectiles with infra-red homing heads, it can also be used in domestic equipment for heating of various rooms, automobile engines, greenhouses, etc with insurance of requirements of fire safety and high environment protection. SUBSTANCE: the simulator has a fuel tank, radiating three-layer catalytic probe with a starting (lighting) system, wick- vaporization system including an evaporation chamber and a tube with a wick made of fibrous cord (for instance, cotton) with longitudinal arrangement of fibres connecting it to the fuel tank. The device is made in the form of a square module with correlation of sides H:B:A=1:2:3, where H - module height: B and A - module width and length respectively. Square shape of simulator provides for setting-up of simulation fields of military equipment practically of any area and shape. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 5 cl, 2 dwg
