method and device for the manufacture of a schutzgasatmosphaere.

摘要

The atmosphere containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide and/or nitrogen is produced by catalytic decomposition of a starting fluid. The protective gas formed is passed to a use chamber, in which a temperature suitable for treating feed material prevails. To make such a process as economical, simple and universally applicable as possible, it is proposed to pass the starting fluid over a catalyst which is in heat-conducting contact with the protective gas atmosphere of the use chamber, the starting fluid being heated before it enters the catalyst.
