PLCV System: pressurized liquid salt continuous vulcanization

$15.00

The PLCV System continuously cures a number of insulating plastics, including crosslinked polyethylene, in a bath of pressurized molten salt. The first PLCV plant, installed in 1973, is diagrammed and described; the salt section, the cooling section, the separator, and the process itself are discussed.
