NUCLEAR REACTOR SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING A SUPERHEATED WORKING FLUID
In a reactor installation the working fluid is converted from the liquid state into the saturated vapor state in evaporators, while this saturated-vapor is superheated in the channels of the reactor. A portion of this superheated vapor is used for producing mechanical energy, while another portion is used in the heat exchangers for delivering the evalroration heat. In this installation no pumping of the working fluid in vapor state is necessary. Suitably the working fiuid in the liquid state coming from the condenser is pumped into the evaporators, these evaporators being connected in parallel with respect to the circuits of the evaporating liquid. The first evaporator is heated from superheated steam coming from a first group of reactor channels, is recooled there, and is fed again for superheating into a second group of reactor channels after which it is fed to the second evaporator and so on. The last group of reactor channels delivers a part of its superheated vapor to another heat exchanger and a part directly to the turbine for producing mechanicah energy. (NPO)
