(6) oxygen after separating enters product oxygen after drying and collects storage in storage tank, and what reach tritium enrichment index then enters product HTO storage tank containing HTO, and below standard is incorporated into cyclic water tank containing HTO;
(7) what be enriched with in the bipolar plate runner on cathode bipolar plate draws at hydrogen outlet containing hydrogen tritide gas, then after drying, the hydrogen reaching tritium level index enters storage in product hydrogen storage tank, and below standard then enters into below standard hydrogen-holder containing hydrogen tritide gas;
(8) when pending containing HTO tank level lower than 5cm time, by water-circulating pump by pending containing HTO storage tank for the input containing HTO condensed not up to the HTO of tritium concentration index and condenser system, or be introduced from outside into containing HTO;
(9) it is circulated by step (4)~(8) described mode。
In above-mentioned collection data procedures, dew point hygrometer data before and after Real-time Collection contrast work molecular sieve drying bed, if the second dew point hygrometer 32 or the 5th dew point hygrometer 69 reach-30 degree, then disable this molecular sieve drying bed, gas to be dried is switched to another root molecular sieve drying bed simultaneously, and it is heated the activation that dewaters to the former。
In the present embodiment, in process described above system, gas valve is gas diaphragm valve, and Liquid valve is liquid ball valve, it is ensured that while accurately controlling gas and liquid flowing, it is ensured that the stability that system is run。
Fig. 4 is the fundamental diagram that the present invention uses the first molecular sieve drying bed and type three-molecular screen alternating drying bed dry hydrogen and oxygen respectively。Fig. 5 is that the present invention uses the second molecular sieve drying bed and the fundamental diagram of the 4th molecular sieve drying bed dry hydrogen and oxygen respectively。For Fig. 4, hydrogen drying system for hydrogen is described after opening the first molecular sieve drying bed 26 dry hydrogen, the technique to the second molecular sieve drying bed 30 activation:
(1) open the first gas heater the 38, first condenser 43 and the first gas circulator 44, open the second molecular sieve drying bed heater 29 and temperature 350 DEG C is set;
(2) open the 6th gas phase valve 36 introduce quantitative first gas compressor 34 or hydrogen collection output lean hydrogen tritide gas after turn off;
Lean hydrogen tritide gas after (3) first gas heater 38 heating, by the absorption water vapor of molecular sieve in the second molecular sieve drying bed 30;
(4) water vapour and lean hydrogen tritide gas flow in the first condenser 43 and condense, and water vapour is condensed into aqueous water and inputs cyclic water tank 15, and lean hydrogen tritide gas enters the first gas heater 38 through the first gas circulator 44 Posterior circle that pressurizes;
(5) circulation step (3), (4), until the 3rd dew point hygrometer 37 registration is down to-90 degree, close the second molecular sieve drying bed heater the 29, first gas heater the 38, first condenser 43 and the first gas circulator 44, the gas containing hydrogen tritide reaching concentration index through quadrupole mass spectrometer 35 detection is back to product hydrogen product tank 46, otherwise inputs below standard hydrogen-holder 51;
(6) complete the preheating of the second molecular sieve drying bed 30 to anhydrate activation, wait first molecular sieve drying bed 26 water-scavenging capability decline until the second dew point hygrometer 32 reach-30 degree after, switching uses the second molecular sieve drying bed 30 to be dried, and activates the first molecular sieve drying bed 26 simultaneously。
The present invention is designed by rational structure and operating process, is possible not only to the tritium level of rich HTO after controlling electrolysis quickly and accurately, and significantly improves the efficiency of tritium enrichment。Therefore, the technology of the present invention progress is fairly obvious, and the design of tritium enrichment system and technique has risen to a new height。
Above-described embodiment is only one of the preferred embodiment of the present invention; should not be taken to limit protection scope of the present invention; all body design thought in the present invention and the change having no essential meaning made mentally or polishing; it is solved the technical problem that still consistent with the present invention, all should be included within protection scope of the present invention。
