Part 3/6:
Getter Mechanism: At the opposite end of the core, Bob suggests incorporating zirconia fine wool as a getter material, accompanied by alumina felt. This combination is intended to enhance the chemical reactions occurring within the reactor, possibly improving efficiency.
Temperature Monitoring: Another vital component of the core is the thermowell, where a thermocouple can be inserted. This allows for temperature measurements within the reactor, ensuring that operations are conducted within safe and optimal ranges. Bob notes that a K-type thermocouple is sufficient for this application, offering reliability and accuracy.
