``Persée`` bench

For iodine injection systems, glove boxes (GB) will be sized to accommodate instrumentation assembly of iodine injection.
PRINCIPLE

Iodine injection section

For iodine injection systems, glove boxes (GB) will be sized to receive instrumentation assembly of iodine injection.

R&D Section

The R&D loop is an air duct maintained at a constant temperature and humidity, and regulated. It includes a test section, two sampling sections.

PRESTAT Section

The PRESTA section consists of a bypass air duct connected to the R&D section.

In this section, 4 different lines, including one dedicated to I2, allow the study of the raw material with an activated carbon type in sample holders conventionally used in installations.
