METHOD FOR COOLING A CIRCULATING GAS IN A PLANT FOR ENRICHMENT OF HEAVY WATER
BS>A method for cooling a gas which circulates through a heavy water enrichment plant is described. The plant is of the type where the isotope exchange occurs between the gas and water at two different temperatures. There are at least two vessels in which the exchange reaction takes place, one warm and one cold. The method consists of cooling the gas before it is introduced into the cold vessel by bringing it in counter-current direct contact with a stream of water substantially saturated with a gas of the same kind as that circulating in the system. The stream of water is cooled in the presence of added gas of the same kind as that circulating in the system by leading the stream of water away from the counter-current direct contact with the gas circulating in the system, supplying the stream of water with added gas, cooling the stream of water in the presence of the added gas, and bringing the stream of water in repeated counter- current direct contact with the gas circulating.
