Estimate of Performance of HOT Main Fuel Solution Heat Exchanger in Proposed HRT Blanket Loop

摘要

Calculations have been made pertaining to the probable performance of the main heat exchanger specified for the HRT fuel solution loop if used without change as the main heat exchanger for the HRT blanket loop.nWith a flow rate of 230 gpm, an entrance temperature of 275°C and an exit temperature of 250°C, these calculations indicate that this exchanger is apparently capable of generating 5360 lb/hr of saturated steam at 540 psia with a blanket solution pressure drop through the exchanger of 8.68 psi.
