ABSTRACT:
A process for generating an inerting gas for rendering an atmosphere inert, such as within a containment shell of a nuclear power plant. Inert gas is kept in liquid or solid phase in a first reservoir. A sufficient amount of heat to vaporize the liquefied or solidified inert gas is made available in a heat transfer medium in a second reservoir. When inerting gas is needed, the heat transfer medium and the liquefied or solidified inert gas are brought into thermal contact with one another. An apparatus for generating the inerting gas is provided as well. The process and the apparatus are particularly suitable for generating a large amount of inerting gas, as a result of which it can be ensured that the containment shell of a nuclear power plant is rendered inert within a short time.
