Title:
ELECTRICITY GENERATION FACILITY COMPRISING A DEVICE FOR PRODUCING STEAM OF REDUCED HEIGHT, APPLICATION TO PWR AND BWR REACTORS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/125442
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electrical energy generation facility comprising: - a steam generation device (1) that is suitable for producing saturated steam (VI) from a heat source and is arranged in a chamber (10); - a set of one or more separators (13) that is/are connected downstream to the steam generation device (1) and is/are suitable for removing most of the water from the steam (VI) generated by the device (1), said set being arranged in the chamber (10); - a set of one or more dryers (14) which is connected upstream to the set of separators (13) and is suitable for collecting the water droplets suspended in the steam (V2) that is discharged from the set of separators so as to generate dry steam (V3); - a steam turbine (2) comprising at least one body (20) for expanding dry steam (V3), the steam turbine being suitable for producing electricity from the dry steam (V3); - a set of exchangers (23, 7) suitable for operating as steam superheaters or for reheating supply water; the set of one or more dryers (14) is arranged outside the chamber (10) of the steam generation device (1), the inlet (14a) of the set of dryers is connected upstream to the set of separators (13), a first outlet (14b) is connected downstream to the inlet of the body (20) of the turbine, and a second outlet (14c) is connected downstream, as a heat source, to the set of exchangers (23, 7).
