Definitions

  • the invention relates to a heating device for the thermal treatment of a tube of small diameter and of curved shape over at least part of its length and the use of this heating device, in particular for the thermal treatment of tubes of steam generator.
  • the steam generators of pressurized water nuclear reactors comprise a bundle made up of several thousand tubes with a diameter close to two centimeters, in the shape of a U.
  • Each of the tubes has two rectilinear branches having a length close to ten meters, the ends are fixed in the tubular plate of the steam generator and a substantially semi-circular curved part joining the two rectilinear branches to their upper part.
  • the curved parts or hangers of the tubes of a bundle are not identical to each other, the dimension and the radius of curvature of the hangers depend on the position of the tubes in the bundle.
  • the tube hangers placed in the central part of the bundle or small hangers have a much smaller radius of curvature than the tube hangers located towards the outside of the bundle.
  • the tubes of the bundle of a steam generator of a pressurized water nuclear reactor are in contact, during the operation of the reactor, on their inner surface, with the pressurized water circulating in the primary circuit and the reactor vessel. and, by their outer surface, with the feed water which is introduced into the envelope of the steam generator to be heated and vaporized by the heat provided by the primary water.
  • the tubes of a steam generator of a pressurized water nuclear reactor are subjected to corrosion in service which can result, after a long period of operation, by cracking of these tubes in certain sensitive areas such as the area of transition between the part of the tube deformed inside the tube plate, during its fixing by crimping and the non-deformed part of the tube or even the area of the hangers and of connection with the rectilinear branches.
  • This increased corrosion and cracking in certain zones of the tube is linked to the presence, in the wall of this tube, of internal stresses resulting from the mechanical operations implemented during the forming and the positioning of the bundle and from the external stresses of thermal or mechanical origin undergone by the beam, during the operation of the reactor.
  • Such heating elements may include a flexible mandrel on which an electrical resistance wire is wound in a helix to form a winding whose outside diameter is less than the inside diameter of the tube to be treated.
