Abstract
An apparatus for removing hydrogen from a mixture of gases containing hydrogen, oxygen, steam, and aerosols, with a catalyst arrangement composed of a substrate coated with a material which catalyzes the oxidation of hydrogen while releasing heat. The apparatus is characterized by a protective device which encloses a catalyst arrangement until a preset temperature is reached. Once the preset temperature is reached, the apparatus is automatically movable into a position which exposes the catalyst arrangement, with the protective device being permeable to gas pressure but essentially impermeable to aerosols. Consequently, the catalyst arrangement is protected against deposition of aerosols contained in the gas mixture until the preset temperature is reached.
