METHOD TO INCREASE CAPACITY OF DOUBLE-CIRCUIT NUCLEAR POWER UNIT

摘要

FIELD: power engineering. ^ SUBSTANCE: substance of the invention consists in using an additional heat exchanger connected into the first circuit downstream the reactor steam generator. The heat exchanger heats feedwater to the temperature of saturation prior to its supply into the steam generator. ^ EFFECT: invention makes it possible to increase nuclear reactor capacity due to reduction of coolant temperature at the inlet to the reactor core. ^ 1 dwg
