Chromalox Circulation Heater Accelerates the Search for New Competitive Nuclear Power Sources
3 PagesTo test simulated fuel components, it was necessary to pre-heat carbon dioxide gas, CO2, used as a coolant in a high temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor. It was impossible to get enough power through a short length of test section to raise the C02 to the temperature at which experimental measurements are made. - Installing a Chromalox Electric Circulation Heater, type GCH, in the experimental test loop. The 100 KW, 480 volt, heater serves the important role of pre-heating the C02 before it enters the test loop
