(d) Induction furnaces having both of the following characteristics---

Note:

1.

2.

(1) A diameter inside the induction coil of 155 mm or more (6.1 inches or more)——

and

(2) Designed to heat a workpiece with a diameter of 130 mm or more (5.1 inches or more) to a temperature in excess of 2273K (2000°C);

This item does not embargo susceptors made of graphite not embargoed elsewhere in these Lists.

This item also covers vacuum furnaces capable of operating with protective atmospheres.

(See also Items IL 1080 and IL 1301).

Electro-chemical, semi-conductor and radioactive devices for the direct conversion of chemical, solar or nuclear energy to electrical energy, as follows-

(a) Electro-chemical devices, as follows, and specially designed components therefor-

(1) Fuel cells operating at temperatures of 523K (250°C, 482°F) or less, including regenerative cells, i.e. cells for generating electric power, to which all the consumable components are supplied from outside the cell-----

Note:

The temperature of 523K or less is intended to refer to the fuel cell and not to the fuel conditioning equipment, which may be either an ancillary or an integral part of the fuel cell battery and which may operate at over 523K.

(2) Primary cells and batteries having any of the following characteristics-

(i) Reserve (water, electrolyte or thermally activated) batteries possessing a means of activation and having a rated unactivated storage life of three years or more at an ambient temperature of 297K (24°C, 75°F);

(ii) Utilizing lithium or calcium (including alloys in which lithium or calcium are constituents) as electrodes and having an energy density at a discharge current equal to C/24 hours (C being the nominal capacity at 297K (24°C, 75°F) in ampere-hours) of more than 250 watt-hours per kilogramme (114 watt-hours per pound) at 297K (24°C, 75°F) and more than 80 watt-hours per kilogramme (36 watt-hours per pound) at 244K (-29°C, —20°F);

Note:

Energy density is obtained by multiplying the average power in watts (average voltage in volts times average current in amperes) by the duration of the discharge in hours to 80 per cent of the open-circuit voltage and dividing by the total mass of the cell (or battery) in kilogrammes;

(iii) Using an air electrode together with either lithium or aluminium counter-electrodes and having a power output of 5 kilowatts or more or an energy output of 5 kilowatt-hours or more;

(3) Secondary (rechargeable) cells and batteries having any of the following characteristics after more than 20 charge/discharge cycles at a discharge current equal to C/5 hours (C being the nominal capacity in ampere hours);

(i) Utilizing nickel and hydrogen as the active constituents and having an energy density of 55 watt-hours per kilogramme (25 watt-hours per pound) or more at 297K (24°C, 75°F);

(ii) Utilizing lithium or sodium as electrodes or reactants and having an energy density of 55 watt-hours per kilogramme (25 watt-hours per pound) or more at the rated operating temperature;

Note:

Energy density is obtained by multiplying the average power in watts (average voltage in volts times average current in amperes) by the duration of the discharge in hours to 75 per cent of the open-circuit voltage and divided by the total mass of the cell (or battery) in kilogrammes.

(4) Molten salt electrolyte cells and batteries which normally operate at temperatures of 773K (500°C, 932°F) or below;
