  • Drying unit for a steam generator especially in nuclear reactors
    Patent number: 4383500
    Abstract: A modular drying unit for a steam generator, having identical dryer elements arranged partly as a polygonal crown within the envelope of the generator and partly as a star within that crown. The dryers constitute in trios triangular cells the inner space of which is divided by a partition permitting isolation of the dryers with respect to one another, as well as guidance of the steam at the intake and outlet ends of the dryers. This type of unit is particularly suitable for generators with natural circulation, notably for a nuclear reactor.
