Functional Performance of the Helical Coil Steam Generator,Consolidated Nuclear Steam Generator (CNSG) IV System.

摘要

The two helical coils representing the steam generator in the CNSG-IV were tested in the Steam Generator Test Facility of the Alliance Research Center (ARC). This facility combines the capabilities of the Hot Water Test Facility and the Once-Through Steam Generator (OTSG) Test Facility to test steam generators at full system pressures and temperatures for both the primary and secondary sides using water as the test fluid. The report provides the arrangement schematic of the Steam Generator Test Facility used during the functional performance tests of the helical coil steam generator (HCSG). It emphasizes only that equipment used during the helical coil test. An OTSG ('A'generator) was also used to provide an additional heat sink so the primary side furnace could be fired at a higher rate,yet be within its controllable range.
