PASSIVE AUTOCATALIC HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN RECOMBINATOR BY ORGANIZATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL AIR ADDITIONAL FLOW TO CATALYTIC ELEMENTS ASSEMBLY IN DIRECTION OF TRANSVERSE TO MAIN Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G21C9/06 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: passive autocatalytic hydrogen and oxygen recombinator comprises a vertically disposed hollow body of rectangular or circular cross-section with freely opening lower and upper ends open to the surrounding air, and at least one assembly of catalytic elements arranged along the transverse section of the housing in accordance with its form in parallel or concentric horizontal rows. The recombiner further comprises means for arranging an additional flow of ambient air through at least a portion of at least lower catalytic assembly in a transverse direction with respect to the axis of the housing. Each successive from the periphery to the center of the series of catalytic elements of the assembly is located below the previous one.

EFFECT: invention makes it possible to increase the rate of hydrogen and oxygen recombination in the ambient air, to eliminate the risk of local overheating of the catalytic elements.
