Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heat exchanger comprising coaxial U-shaped tubes between which a neutral gas such as helium flows.
  • the invention also relates to the application of such an exchanger, in the form of steam generators, to different types of fast neutron nuclear reactors cooled by a heat transfer fluid which may be liquid sodium.
  • sodium / water vapor generators are "critical" components, due to the violent chemical reaction that can occur if sodium and water come into contact and the severity of the exchanges sodium / water-steam thermal.
  • the present invention specifically relates to a sodium / water heat exchanger having both a mechanical reliability and a functional reliability high enough that one can fearlessly consider the possible establishment of this heat exchanger, in the form of a steam generator, directly in the tank of an integrated type fast neutron nuclear reactor.
  • the application of the heat exchanger according to the invention is however not limited to reactors of this type and can in particular extend to fast neutron reactors of the loop type, in which the steam generators are placed in tanks separate from the main tank containing the reactor core.
  • this heat exchanger is characterized by its great simplicity and by the absence of a rigid connection between the internal tubes and the external tubes of the bundle of U-shaped tubes. This provides high mechanical reliability since the stresses due to differential expansions are avoided.
  • the ferrules surrounding the vertical branches of the bundle have main sodium entry windows placed above a normal level of sodium in the tank and auxiliary entry windows of sodium placed below a minimum level of ⁇ sodium in the tank, each ferrule being provided with a bell fixed above the main entry windows and immersed in sodium to a level below said minimum level , to constitute a sodium supply siphon for this shell.
  • the outer tubes are smooth, the inner tubes being provided on their outer surface with centering lugs and, in the ascending branch of the bundle, longitudinal or helical fins ensuring both an increase in heat exchange in this branch in order to compensate for the decrease in the temperature difference between heating and heated fluids and to distribute the boiling of water between the two branches and the maintenance of the inner tubes in the outer tubes.

  • the appreciable play existing between the interior and exterior tubes and the absence of concentricity requirement allows the bending of these double tubes.
  • Each of the double tubes 12 of the bundle comprises a vertical branch with descending heated fluid 12a, a vertical branch with ascending heated fluid 12b and a lower curved part 12c joining the vertical branches.
  • the upper ends of the descending and ascending branches of the outer tubes 16 are tightly fixed on two horizontal tube plates 20a and 20b, called gas / sodium tube plates, located side by side and at the same level.

  • the double tubes 12 Due to their U-shape, the double tubes 12 easily absorb the consequences of small temperature differences between the descending and ascending branches.
  • the temperatures of tubes 1-2 of each branch are in fact very similar due to the moderate exchange coefficient by gas convection.
  • the outer tubes 16 are smooth and expand freely in the vertical direction from the tube plates 20a and 20b.
  • the descending branches and the curved lower parts of the inner tubes 14 are also smooth, and only have spaced centering lugs 70 which allow the inner tubes to be held correctly in the outer tubes.
  • the inner tubes 14 can also be smooth and provided with centering lugs on their outer faces. However, they preferably have on their outer faces longitudinal or helical fins 72 simultaneously ensuring the centering of the inner tubes in the outer tubes and a more efficient heat exchange, in order to balance the heat powers exchanged and distribute the boiling of the on both branches.

  • the inlet and outlet temperatures of water and steam are approximately 250 ° C and approximately 500 ° C, respectively.
  • the pressure of the steamer is also slightly lower than that of helium, so that the inner tubes are stressed only by a very small pressure difference. This characteristic virtually eliminates any possibility of water / vapor leakage to sodium and therefore constitutes a guarantee of high functional reliability.
