Abstract
809,584. Liquid metal purifier. BABCOCK & WILCOX CO. May 14, 1957 [June 4, 1956], No, 15314/57. Class 82(1) [Also in Group XIII] A liquid metal purifier, for example as used in an atomic reactor to remove oxide from liquid metal used as a heat exchange medium, comprises a vertically elongated vessel, inlet and outlet means for flowing liquid metal therethrough, characterized therein that a peripheral quiescent liquid chamber extends along the wall of the vessel and the quiescent liquid in said chamber is cooled to present a cold wall to the flowing liquid metal within said vessel and precipitate the metal oxide therefrom. Liquid metal enters the regenerative heat exchanger 12 through pipe 76 and then passes into the purifier by way of pipe 34. An annular chamber 44 contains quiescent metal cooled by pipes 50 which are provided with a double bore to allow a gas such as nitrogen to flow between the coolant liquid and the liquid metal. The quiescent metal cools the baffle 18 which, in turn, cools the annular chamber 26 first entered by the metal from pipe 34. Chamber 26 is provided with a filtering mesh to trap deposited oxides shown in Fig. 2 by hatching. The liquid metal can rise through chamber 28 and return to the heat exchanger via pipe 36. An inert gas, which is carried by the liquid metal entering the apparatus and returned to the outgoing metal by way of vent 69, fills the spaces 27 and 30. The quiescent liquid chamber 44 is open to the flowing liquid metal through circulation openings 46.
