Abstract
Cooling system for containers for transporting heat-emitting parts from nuclear installations, including a closed loop connected to the container for carrying water and steam or water alone, the loop having disposed therein a heatable mixing condenser, a filter installation, a cooler, a pump, and valve-control means for controlling pressure and temperature in the loop.
Claims4
Cooling system having a container for transporting heat-emitting parts without temperature shock after removal from nuclear installations, comprising a closed loop for carrying water and steam or water alone, and means for connecting the container to said loop, said loop having disposed therein a heatable mixing condenser for regulating pressure and temperature in said loop, a filter installation for removing possible radioactive contamination from the water, a cooler for cooling water in said loop, a pump, and valve-control means for controlling pressure and temperature in said loop.
