Three types of frozen-seal "valves" w e r e tes ted fo r possible use i n

formed res t r ic t ion section of a standard piece of pipe by a cooling-gas

The valve heated with clamped-on Calrod heaters appeared t o be the

best of the three types of valves tested. It has the advantage of struc- tural and e lec t r ica l simplicity with adequate freezing and melting times.

The two thermocouples located away from the center of the valve i n the Calrod-heated valve were useful i n determining the frozen-plug size. Since the thermocouples were located direct ly i n or close t o the cooling

a i r stream, they gave a relative temperature reading only; however, once the plug s ize and freeze point had been established, the thermocouple 1-1/2 in. above the valve center was used as the frozen-condition indicator.

The use of a low-pressure centrifugal blower t o supply cooling a i r was abandoned due t o the control d i f f icu l t ies . The low available pressure

drop prohibited res t r ic t ion of the flow without a damper control mechanism

and required large air leads t o the valve. Proper sizing of a blower with

a variable-speed motor control and an air-volume meter would have permitted satisfactory operation. However, i n the absence of t h i s control the frozen

plug was too large t o permit reasonable m e l t times.

DISCUSSION OF VALVE OPERATION I N THE EWINEERIW TEST LOOP

Operation of the valves has been satisfactory, with the exception of the one blockage tha t i s believed t o have been due t o a plug i n the upstream l i n e and not due t o the valve design or operation.

The lower cooling-air requirement fo r these valves compared with the

e a r l i e r valves i s at t r ibuted t o the a i r nozzle being only 1 in. away from

the valve f lat and t o the be t t e r air flow t o the f lat tha t i s permitted by

the open-center winding of the Calrods. The surge pots appear t o be ade- quate t o prevent the valve from being blown empty during a forced dump.

The equalization of gas pressures during freezing i s an important opera-

t iona l procedure f o r two reasons: the valve i s d i f f i cu l t t o freeze with a q movement of salt due t o differences i n gas pressure, and reverse gas

flow j u s t before freezing could possibly leave a gas pocket i n the valve with salt on each side.
