MIXED FLOW TURBINE FOR EMERGENCY MAKEUP OF STEAM GENERATING UNITS

Category of development 
Nuclear energy
The essence of development. Purpose and scope 

Use of the turbo-driven bladeless turbine and turbine having blades as composite elements ensures a high aggregate technical effect expressed in a possibility of feeding of the steam generating units of the NPSs for account of their own steam with the aid of turbine-driven pumps. Organization of a reliable additional (emergency) feeding for steam generating units of the NPSs in case of a complete blackout of the same.  

The main advantages 

Such a turbine drive does not require any electric power and operates by means of steam generated by a steam generating unit; the device is adapted for operation on a cold reserve, i.e. there is no need for warming up the gas-inlet pipes; running on condensate, the friction turbine is even more responsive and, besides, it is perfectly performs the function of a separator not letting condensate penetrate into the second turbine stage.   

The degree of readiness. Protection of intellectual property 

The device has undergone an experimental corroboration that has confirmed all the stated features of such a drive. The technology developed is covered by several patents in Ukraine.
