Considerable saving in pumping power in the gas circulation circuit is achieved by directly linking a gas turbine to the compressor and incorpcrating it in the coolant circuit. In principle the whole of the heat output is passed on to the secondary heat exchanger, but in fact there will be a snaall temperature drop across the turbine. It is particularly applicable to gascooled, solid homogeneous or gaseous-fuelled reactors. In the design described, primary coolant is helium pressurized to 10 atm, inlet and outlet temperatures are and 750-C and the heat ouiput is approximately 30Mw. Turbine inlet and outlet pressures are 142.4 and 117.8 psi and the compressor has a compression ratio of 1.2771 with an inlet pressure of 115.5 psi.
