DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM OF THE SO_3 DECOMPOSER AS A KEY COMPONENT OF THE SULPHUR BASED THERMOCHEMICAL CYCLES: NEWS STEPS TOWARDS FEASIBILITY DEMONSTRATION

摘要

The HYPRO program for 2008 and beyond, is now mainly integrated in the HYCYCLES European funded project:1. CEA tasks in HYCYCLES are :1.1 review on Si based material and elaboration of a testing plan on material corrosion, 1.2 design of the compact SiC heat exchanger to simulate SO_3 decomposition.2. In parallel of the HYCYCLES project, CEA is working on :2.1 The implementation of a "heat source" platform for the Cadarache Center for testing components or integrated processes of H_2 production at representative scale (around a few MWth).
