  • Patent number: 6904754
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a steam generator for a liquid metal reactor and a heat transfer method thereof, and more particularly a steam generator for a liquid metal reactor having intermediate fluid forcibly circulated therein and structurally improved coiled heat transfer tubes installed therein, and a heat transfer method of such a steam generator, whereby an accident of the sodium-water reaction is practically prevented and heat transfer efficiency is improved. The heat transfer method of the steam generator for the liquid metal reactor including a reactor core, a steam generator, and a turbine, utilizes forced circulation for the intermediate fluid in the steam generator. The forced circulation is carried out through a flow channel defined in the steam generator, which forms a closed flow circuit for the intermediate fluid, by means of operation of a circulation pump installed in the flow channel.
