Condensation tube for a blow-off device for limiting excess pressure in nuclear power plants, especially in boiling water nuclear power plants

摘要

In a blow-off device for limiting excess pressure in nuclear power plants, a condensation tube disposed so that a lower outlet end thereof is immersed in a volume of water in a condensation chamber having a gas cushion located in a space above the volume of water, and an upper inlet end of the condensation tube extends out of the volume of water and is connectible to a source of steam that is to be condensed or a steam- air mixture, the outlet end of the tube, for stabilizing the condensation, being provided with a base member at the mouth of the tube for limiting steam flows discharging in axial direction of the tube and being formed with lateral outlet openings for subdividing the steam flow and the bubbles produced in the volume of water, the base member at the tube mouth being formed at a conical insert member having a base fastened to the condensation tube in vicinity of the mouth thereof and having an apex extending into the tube mouth, the lateral outlet openings being disposed at least within the axial range of the insert member.
