PASSIVE AUTOCATALYTIC HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN RECOMBINER WITH UNIFORM LOAD PER AREA OF CATALYST ELEMENT Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G21C9/06 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: passive autocatalytic hydrogen and oxygen recombiner has a vertical hollow tubular housing 1, which is merged by its top and bottom ends 1.1 and 1.2 with the surrounding medium, and having inside its bottom part at least one assembly of catalyst elements 2,3 in form of a horizontal row of vertically arranged catalyst plates 4. Each catalyst plate 1 of the assembly of catalyst elements is mounted inside a channel 5, formed by two channel plates 4 made of material which is not catalytically active for the hydrogen and oxygen recombination reaction, wherein the bottom end of each catalyst plate 4 is situated inside, and the upper end is situated outside the corresponding channel 5. All plates 4,6 of each next assembly of catalyst elements 3 can be mounted over plates of the previous assembly of catalyst elements 2 with change in orientation by (45…90)°.

EFFECT: preventing local overheating and possible destruction of catalyst elements while maintaining high catalytic activity of the recombiner.
