The final designs are given for a sodium-to-sodium intermediate heat exchanger and a sodium-to-water steam generator. The basic design of the heat exchanger is a shell with fixed tube sheets and sine wave tubes; this offers the advantage of tubes operating essentially independently of the shell or adjacent tubes. The steam generator is designed basically as a shell-and-tube unit made of three sections: (1) a boiler section, (2) a steam drum, and (3) a superheater section. A thermal design analysis is given for the steam generator. Fabrication concepts are outlined for the heat exchanger and steam generator. The design data and drawings are presented. Mechanical and thermal design calculations, developed during the final design phase, are included. Cost estimates were prepared for the heat exchanger, boiler section, and superheater section for 30and 70-Mw capacity. (B.O.G.)
