heating is accomplished by capacitor 13. Turbine~revolution is<br />

controlled by regulator 14.<br />

Part <strong>of</strong> the liquid me t-tl in the third circuit enters the bearings<br />

<strong>of</strong> the turbine generator. Usually the temperature <strong>of</strong> this metal<br />

coming out <strong>of</strong> the radiator is higher than-the optimum temperature<br />

i <strong>of</strong> the bearing. It should be lowered to t = 50ý-200°C. Pressure<br />

in the circuit,, defined only by resistance in the circuit <strong>and</strong> the<br />

cavitation characteristics <strong>of</strong>~pump 12 (usually not exceeding (1.0-2) x<br />

X 105 N/m2), is insuffic~ient for bearing efficiency,j, This is why<br />

in a parallel circuit <strong>of</strong> the third outline there is installed,<br />

besides an additional cooler 9, a centrifugal pump 10 which<br />

pressurizes the mfetal in the bearing to (,4-6),.!05N/m.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re Is one more circuit in this installation,, the fourth<br />

circui-t, the cooling circuit <strong>of</strong> ",,e turbogenerator, windings.<br />

S~<strong>The</strong> advantage <strong>of</strong> such an installation •ies in the fact that<br />

S~in all its parts elements <strong>of</strong> known technical solutions are~used <strong>and</strong>,<br />

I ~ in tlhis sense, It is nearer than any other to accomplishment. It<br />

is<br />

also known that for an ERE <strong>of</strong> high power the specific mass <strong>of</strong> such<br />

• an Installation is the lt~ast. <strong>The</strong> shortcomings <strong>of</strong> such an<br />

installation are its<br />

complexity <strong>and</strong> bulkiness.<br />

S~Let<br />

Ssuch<br />

us give one <strong>of</strong> the possible versions <strong>of</strong> the starting <strong>of</strong><br />

installation.<br />

S~<strong>The</strong> installation is vacuumized <strong>and</strong> serviced with the working<br />

medium. After filling, the metal is cleaned by the filters.<br />

After servicing in the heated state, the installation enters the<br />

• carrier rocket <strong>and</strong> in this state is placed in orbit. In orbit, after<br />

dropping the aerodynamic <strong>and</strong> heat shields, the reactor is turned<br />

on. <strong>The</strong> temperature <strong>of</strong> the working medium is raised., <strong>The</strong> radiator,<br />

unfolded into working position, ensures the cooling <strong>of</strong> the working<br />

medium. <strong>The</strong> turbine <strong>of</strong> the turbogenerator makes Its first revolution,<br />

<strong>The</strong> ERE after a certain time goes into operating mode.
