I 'gure 2.68 shows the design <strong>of</strong> tbB thermal trap, joined with<br />

the thermoermmission converter .<br />

<strong>The</strong> power <strong>of</strong> the installation is<br />

500 kW; voltage is 28 V. <strong>The</strong> !rap consists <strong>of</strong> a housing unit 1, 2,<br />

3, 4, a heat deflector 5, 6, cesium tanks 7, 8, 9, <strong>and</strong> forty<br />

converters 10, 11, 12.<br />

'he housing is made in the form <strong>of</strong> a multilayer pentagonal<br />

pyramidý, between the shells 1 <strong>and</strong> 2 <strong>of</strong> which is mercury 3 <strong>and</strong><br />

between the other tw6 2 <strong>and</strong> 11 are the thermoemmission converters.<br />

<strong>The</strong> welded heat deflector 5 with a packing <strong>of</strong> heat-insulating<br />

material 6 is welded to the force ring 7 filled with porous nickel<br />

8 <strong>and</strong>, at the same time, serving as one <strong>of</strong> the cesium tanks.<br />

Spherical cesium storage 9 <strong>of</strong> similar construction is attached to<br />

the summit <strong>of</strong> the trap housing. <strong>The</strong> thermoemmission converter<br />

-consists <strong>of</strong> a cathode tin heated with mercury, <strong>and</strong> anode 11 cooled<br />

by radiation from the surface <strong>of</strong> the trap, <strong>and</strong> a pipe 12 for channeling<br />

the cesium vapors.<br />
