Apparatus for conditioning high temperature chemical fusion reactions and operations

Claim 1

AN APPARATUS FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE FUSIONTYPE REACTIONS COMPRISING, IN COMBINATION, A CLOSED CHAMBER HAVING A PLURALITY OF SUBSTANTIALLY VERTICAL ELONGATED HEAT EXCHANGE CONDUITS COMMUNICATING WITH SAID CHAMBER CONDUITS COMTHE BOTTOM OF SAID CHAMBER AND INTEGRAL WITH OF SAID CHAMBER FUNCTIONS AS A TUBE SHEET, SAID PLURALITY OF HEAT EXCHANGE CONDUITS DEPENDING FROM THE BOTTOM OF SAID CHAMBER AND INTO A FURNACE CHAMBER WHEREIN SAID PLURALITY OF HEAT EXCHANGE CONDUITS ARE IN DIRECT HEAT EXCHANGE RELATIONSHIP WITH A HIGH TEMPERATURE HEAT SOURCE, SAID CLOSED CHAMBER ALSO HAVING AT LEAST ONE VERTICAL ELONGATED CONDUIT OF A SUBSTANTIALLY LARGER DIAMETEER THAN SAID HEAT EXCHANGE CONDUITS AND THE LARGER DIAMETER ELONGATED CONDUIT CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA BEING GREATER THAN THE TOTAL OF THE CROSSSECTIONAL AREAS OF THE SAID HEAT EXCHANGE CONDUITS, SAID LARGER DIAMETER CONDUIT DEPENDING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SAID CLOSED CHAMBER AND ALSO EXTENDING UPWARDLY AND ENTERING THE LOWER PORTION OF SAID CHAMBER AND COMMUNICATING WITH AND TERMINATING WITHIN SAID CLOSED CHAMBER ABOVE THE UPPER EXTREMITIES OF SAID HEAT EXCHANGE CONDUITS, MEANS FOR PROVIDING FLUID COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE LOWER EXTREMITIES OF SAID HEAT EXCHANGE CONDUITS AND THE LOWER EXTREMITY OF SAID LARGER DIAMETER ELONGATED CONDUIT, SAID LARGER DIAMETER ELONGATED CONDUIT ALSO HAVING AT LEAST ONE FEED INLET NOZZLE POSITIONED IN THE LOWER EXTREMITY OF SAID LARGER DIAMETER ELONGATED CONDUIT AND EXTENDING UPWARDLY AND TERMINATING WITHIN THE LOWER PORTION OF SAID LARGER DIAMETER ELONGATED CONDUIT, THE LONGITUDINAL AXES OF EACH OF THE SAID FEED INLET NOZZLES BEING SUBSTANTIALLY PARALLEL TO THE LONGITUDINAL AXIS OF THE LARGER DIAMETER ELONGATED CONDUIT IN WHICH IT IS POSITIONED, CONDUIT MEANS LOCATEED IN SAID CLOSED CHAMBER AND ADAPTED TO REMOVE LIQUID MATERIALS FROM SAID CHAMBER WHILE MAINTAINING A LEVEL OF LIQUID MATERIALS WITHIN SAID CHAMBER ABOVE THE UPPER EXTREMITIES OF SAID HEAT EXCHANGE CONDUITS COMMUNICATING WITH SAID CHAMBER AND CONDUIT MEANS LOCATED IN THE UPPER PORTION OF SAID CHAMBER ADAPTED TO REMOVE GASEOUS AND VAPOROUS MATERIALS FROM THE UPPER PORTION OF SAID CHAMBER ABOVE THE LEVEL OF LIQUID MATERIALS WITHIN SAID CHAMBER.

Claim 2

AN APPARATUS FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE FUSIONTYPE REACTIONS COMPRISING, IN COMBINATION, A CLOSED CHAMBER HAVING A PLURALITY OF SUBSTANTIALLY VERTICAL ELONGATED HEAT EXCHANGE CONDUITS COMMUNICATING WITH SAID CHAMBER CONDUITS COMTHE BOTTOM OF SAID CHAMBER AND INTEGRAL WITH OF SAID CHAMBER FUNCTIONS AS A TUBE SHEET, SAID PLURALITY OF HEAT EXCHANGE CONDUITS DEPENDING FROM THE BOTTOM OF SAID CHAMBER AND INTO A FURNACE CHAMBER WHEREIN SAID PLURALITY OF HEAT EXCHANGE CONDUITS ARE IN DIRECT HEAT EXCHANGE RELATIONSHIP WITH A HIGH TEMPERATURE HEAT SOURCE, SAID CLOSED CHAMBER ALSO HAVING AT LEAST ONE VERTICAL ELONGATED CONDUIT OF A SUBSTANTIALLY LARGER DIAMETEER THAN SAID HEAT EXCHANGE CONDUITS AND THE LARGER DIAMETER ELONGATED CONDUIT CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA BEING GREATER THAN THE TOTAL OF THE CROSSSECTIONAL AREAS OF THE SAID HEAT EXCHANGE CONDUITS, SAID LARGER DIAMETER CONDUIT DEPENDING FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SAID CLOSED CHAMBER AND ALSO EXTENDING UPWARDLY AND ENTERING THE LOWER PORTION OF SAID CHAMBER AND COMMUNICATING WITH AND TERMINATING WITHIN SAID CLOSED CHAMBER ABOVE THE UPPER EXTREMITIES OF SAID HEAT EXCHANGE CONDUITS, MEANS FOR PROVIDING FLUID COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE LOWER EXTREMITIES OF SAID HEAT EXCHANGE CONDUITS AND THE LOWER EXTREMITY OF SAID LARGER DIAMETER ELONGATED CONDUIT, SAID LARGER DIAMETER ELONGATED CONDUIT ALSO HAVING AT LEAST ONE FEED INLET NOZZLE POSITIONED IN THE LOWER EXTREMITY OF SAID LARGER DIAMETER ELONGATED CONDUIT AND EXTENDING UPWARDLY AND TERMINATING WITHIN THE LOWER PORTION OF SAID LARGER DIAMETER ELONGATED CONDUIT, THE LONGITUDINAL AXES OF EACH OF THE SAID FEED INLET NOZZLES BEING SUBSTANTIALLY PARALLEL TO THE LONGITUDINAL AXIS OF THE LARGER DIAMETER ELONGATED CONDUIT IN WHICH IT IS POSITIONED, CONDUIT MEANS LOCATEED IN SAID CLOSED CHAMBER AND ADAPTED TO REMOVE LIQUID MATERIALS FROM SAID CHAMBER WHILE MAINTAINING A LEVEL OF LIQUID MATERIALS WITHIN SAID CHAMBER ABOVE THE UPPER EXTREMITIES OF SAID HEAT EXCHANGE CONDUITS COMMUNICATING WITH SAID CHAMBER AND CONDUIT MEANS LOCATED IN THE UPPER PORTION OF SAID CHAMBER ADAPTED TO REMOVE GASEOUS AND VAPOROUS MATERIALS FROM THE UPPER PORTION OF SAID CHAMBER ABOVE THE LEVEL OF LIQUID MATERIALS WITHIN SAID CHAMBER.
