AUTOCLAVE POWER MODULE Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: powder metallurgy, particularly, designed of autoclaves for production of composite materials by treatment of intermediate products from discrete materials, mainly, powders at high pressures and temperatures. SUBSTANCE: autoclave module has a container accommodating sealed movable end plugs, cross-bars limiting axial motion of these plugs and power frame with posts and winding from high-strength steel band. Power frame is made in the form of three oval power sections - two side embracing cross-bars and one embracing cross-bar and container with plugs and equidistant cross-bars. Each side oval power section is made for opposite motion and central section is made for motion in direction perpendicular to container axis and parallel to axis of cross-bars at a distance ensuring free removal of cross-bars and end plugs. EFFECT: reduced metal content of power module by factor of 2-3 as compared with known analogs, higher operating reliability and safety of module. 5 cl, 3 dwg
