Abstract:
An apparatus for isotope separation has a plurality of separating stages connected in a separation cascade. Each of the stages has a separating-nozzle unit and a heat exchanger connected upstream of the unit for abstracting heat from the compressed gas forced through said unit. According to the invention the apparatus comprises a substantially cylindrical vessel having a generally horizontal axis and is subdivided internally by a plurality of diametral partitions defining chambers between them, each of the chambers receiving a respective one of said stages. All of the heat exchangers are in line with one another and are all at the same level in said vessel, the heat exchangers having common heat exchanger tubes extending substantially the length of the vessel through all of the chambers and through the partitions.
