Definition "specialised vessel filled with an adsorbent that is used to purify the hydrogen gas in pressure swing adsorption process" Reference "COM-Terminology Coordination, based on: Hyfindr.com > Hydrogen Purification (25.4.2024)"
Comment As the hydrogen gas flows through the vessel, the impurities are adsorbed onto the material, while the purified hydrogen gas is collected on the other side.

Definition Behälter in einem Kernkraftwerk mit Druck- oder Siedewasserreaktor, in dem sich der wärmeerzeugende Reaktorkern mit den Brennelementen befindet Reference "Wikipedia, s. v. ""Reaktordruckbehälter"", http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaktordruckbeh%C3%A4lter (19.5.2011)"
Comment The vessel is made of special fine-grained low alloy ferritic steel, well suited for welding and with a high toughness while showing low porosity under neutron irradiation. The inside is lined with austenitic steel cladding to protect against corrosion. For a 1,300 MWe pressurized water reactor, the pressure vessel is about 12 m high, the inner diameter is 5 m, and the wall of the cylindrical shell is about 250 mm thick. The overall weight amounts to approx. 530 t without internals. The vessel is designed for a pressure of 17.5 MPa (175 bar) and a temperature of 350 °C.
