Development, Testing and Commissioning of Powerful High Voltage Electron Accelerator | |
|
||
A powerful high voltage electron accelerator has been designed for the use in installations for purifying of flue gases of thermal power plants (primarily, coal-fired electric power plants) from sulfur and nitrogen oxides. The design parameters of the accelerator are as follows: the energy is 1 MeV and the power is up to 500 kW in the continuous mode. A three-phase transformer-rectifier with a closed magnetic circuit operating at a frequency of 50 Hz is used as a high-voltage generator. The high-voltage generator and accelerating structure are located in a common high-pressure vessel filled with an insulating gas. Accelerated electron beam is scanned in a vacuum chamber of triangular shape and further is extracted into the atmosphere through an outlet window combined of four parallel sections measuring 60x2400 mm and covered with metal foil. The report presents the results of the development, testing of the accelerator on a NIIEFA testing facility and commissioning. | ||
