Description

A unique design of PWR steam generator, developed by Foster Wheeler in Britain more than 30 years ago, avoids the problem of tubesheet sludge accumulation. The twin header steam generator uses a vertical, inverted U-tube bundle connected to cylindrical inlet and outlet headers. The advantages of the design and operating experience are outlined.
