Abstract

822,032. Turbines. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. March 28, 1956 [March 28, 1955], No. 9668/56. Drawings to Specification. Class 110 (3). [Also in Group XL (a)] In a power plant, the steam turbines are supplied from a boiling water nuclear reactor. The system is self-regulated to deal with fluctuations in load and two separate steam supplies are provided for the turbines from the reactor. One supply consists of the steam produced by the water in boiling within the reactor and provides the normal running supply of the plant. The second supply deals with load fluctuations and is developed either by passing part of the water through an expansion valve to form low pressure steam, or by circulating the water through a heat exchanger. The extraction of heat from the water, in the second case, has the effect of cooling the water, reducing the number of steam voids and thus raising the reactor activity to provide for the increased load demand. After leaving the lowpressure turbine, the steam is condensed and pumped back into the reactor.
