Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Erzeugung eines Inertisierungsgases

摘要

A process is disclosed for generating an inert gas for feeding a container, in particular the containment shell (3) of a nuclear reactor. An inert gas (1) is kept in a liquefied or solidified state in a first reservoir (4); in a second reservoir (5), sufficient heat to evaporate the liquefied or solidified inert gas (1) is made available in a heat transfer medium (2); and the heat transfer medium and liquefied or solidified inert gas (1) are brought into thermal contact with each other. Also disclosed is a device for generating an inert gas. This process and device are particularly suitable for generating a large amount of inert gas, so that the containment shell (3) of a nuclear reactor may be quickly made inert.
