Steam generation device with heat exchange between a liquid metal coolant and the feedwater

Creators

Description

The invention is particularly applicable to a liquid metal fast breeder reactor plant, the liquid metal being sodium. The steam generation device is described in detail, it allows to get an upper liquid metal level without turbulence and an easier passage for the shock wave towards the steam generator up to the liquid metal level without being laterally reflected back to the intermediate heat exchangers

Abstract (French)

L'invention s'applique, en particulier, aux generateurs de vapeur des reacteurs nucleaires a neutrons rapides refroidis par du sodium liquide. On decrit en detail le dispositif de production de vapeur; il permet d'obtenir un niveau de metal liquide superieur sans turbulence et un passage facilite pour l'onde de choc vers le haut du generateur de vapeur jusqu'au niveau du metal liquide sans que cette onde soit renvoyee lateralement vers les echangeurs intermediaires
