Patent FR-2325413-A1 (FR)
Title: Removing liq. droplets and solid particles from gases - using a separator which incorporates a series of vertical grids
IPC: B01D50/00
Filed: 1975-09-26
Abstract: An appts. for sepg. liq. droplets or solid dusts from a gas consists of a series of grids placed in the path of the gas. The grids are made from identical vertical elements having a section in the shape of an M, an N, or W or other similar form. The elements of each grid have narrow gaps between them. The grids are staggered by a half-pitch, so that the gaps between two elements of one grid are in the axis of the elements of the following grid where its profile is a concave V. At each passage through a grid, the gas is successively accelerated and slowed down while the press. is successively reduced and increased, following sudden changes in direction. This causes the liq. droplets to coalesce and separate by impact and centrifugal force. A liq. atomiser may be provided upstream of the grids so that powders are wetted, facilitating their sepn. The number and the spacing of the elements can be varied to suit the operating conditions. The appts. makes use of surface wetting, kinetic energy, and centrifugal force. It allows the repetition of these effects as many times as is necessary and economically acceptable, to give the desired result. It is simple to make from any material, formable, flexible or extrudable, in metal or plastic.

Title: Nuclear reactor using pressurised water coolant - has elastically supported columns holding fuel assemblies in place between grids
Inventor: BIDEAU JEAN
IPC: G21C5/10
Filed: 1975-10-02
Abstract: An internal structure for a nuclear reactor, with a core comprising a number of fuel assemblies and a number of movable control rods, incorporates a lower, an intermediate and an upper grid, all joined to the reactor vessel, and a number of vertical support columns. The fuel assemblies are fixed on the lower grid. The support columns extend between the upper and intermediate grids. Each column is joined at its upper end to the upper grid by an elastic system, deformable in the vertical direction. Each column has at its lower end, above the intermediate grid, a pair of centering pins, symmetrical about the axis. These pins pass through the holes in the grid into holes in the upper end-piece of the fuel assembly, supporting the end of the column on the end of the assembly. Faults of current methods are obviated in which the elastic systems consist usually of four leaf springs joined to the upper end-piece of the core assembly by screws. These faults are the limited strength of the springs because of the small space available to them, their nearness to the fuel, weakening the, through irradiation, and inconvenience during charging and discharging the reactor.
