Conduit to connect two fixed apparatus
Description
The conduits between intermediate heat exchangers, secondary pumps and steam generators are subject to important thermal stresses and expansions of large amplitude. The invention concerns a pipe which connects two fixed apparatus, ensuring the circulation of a fluid of which temperature is very high or low with regard to the ambient temperature. The conduit comprises three straight sections of which lengths are nearly the same, connected end to end and mounted such as the axis of any section is orthogonal with regard to the two other axes. This conduit allows to reduce stresses at their minimal value, more particularly thermal stresses, while reducing the conduit at its minimal length

Les conduits de liaison entre les echangeurs intermediaires, les pompes secondaires et les generateurs de vapeur sont soumis a des contraintes thermiques importantes et a des dilatations de grande amplitude. Le but de l'invention est donc de proposer un conduit de liaison entre deux appareils fixes assurant la circulation d'un fluide a une temperature eloignee de la temperature ambiante, qui permette de reduire a leur valeur minimale les contraintes, en particulier d'origine thermique, dans ce conduit, tout en reduisant ce conduit a sa longueur minimale. Dans ce but, le conduit est constitue par trois troncons de conduit rectiligne sensiblement de meme longueur, raccordes bout a bout et places de facon que l'axe de l'un quelconque de ces troncons soit orthogonal aux axes des deux autres tronconsAdditional details
