NEUTRALIZER OF RADIOLYSIS PRODUCTS Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: nuclear engineering. SUBSTANCE: neutralizer comprises bearing element secured to which are rod heater and catalyst cassette. Rods of heater are accommodated inside catalyst cassette so that the gaps between them form gas passages. In case of electrical heating, the rods of heater are made as thermoelectric heaters. In case of radiation heating, the rods of heater re made of a neutron-absorbing material, some of said rods being made of materials with a larger neutron-absorbing cross section. Catalysts may be made as ceramic cylinders with catalytic substance applied to their surface. Catalysts may be made of wire in the form of wire coils or net cells. The device proves highly effective in liquid-control systems. EFFECT: higher reliability. 5 cl, 6 dwg
