IODINE STORAGE AND SUPPLY SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC F03H1/00 F02K99/00 

FIELD: engines and pumps.

SUBSTANCE: offered invention relates to electric propulsions, in particular to their systems for storage and supply of working body (iodine). In the iodine storage and supply system containing a cylindrical vessel fitted with a heater with iodine which is interconnected with the electric propulsion through the pipeline with the valve, in the bottom of the cylindrical vessel from the pipeline a porous washer is installed which contacts with crystal iodine and the cylindrical vessel from the side, opposite to the pipeline, contains the flange and the piston spring-loaded with reference to the flange, contacting from another side with crystal iodine, meanwhile the heater is fitted with electric insulation contacting from outside with the vessel bottom from the pipeline side. Note that in the iodine supply system the piston is implemented as composite one as an external barrel contacting with the cylinder of the vessel and of the internal barrel inserted into it, meanwhile the bottoms of the barrels are facing toward opposite sides and between its bottoms the spring is installed.

EFFECT: invention is aimed at providing stable iodine supply at any arrangement of the cylindrical vessel in conditions of gravity and microgravity.
