English Electric Valve BR/BW1162 series: directly heated RF power transmitting triode, BW1162 water cooled with separate external water jacket. Used for Class B audio modulation, Class C RF transmission and industrial oscillators. The 12 kV published maximum anode voltage and other limits depend on service; interelectrode capacitances are specified. Water cooling required during operation.
