of the fluid Prom the space between the shell's to the adjacent tection
if this is necessary.
As with any oiher construction, we know t~at it:is expediejit
to assemble reactor eiempnts in units. For example, hood 1 and hood,

asseb]led. Such assem'bly is complicated if the shells of these
paris consist of two or more layers. The figure illustrates a method
of connecting such multi-lT ýred units.
