  • LIGHT-WATER NUCLEAR REACTOR (LWR), IN PARTICULAR A PRESSURISED WATER REACTOR (PWR) OR BOILING WATER REACTOR (BWR), INCORPORATING AN INTEGRAL, AUTONOMOUS, PASSIVE DECAY HEAT REMOVAL SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230230711
    Abstract: An organic Rankine cycle machine and a supplementary reservoir of water, distinct from the pool, the energy stored in the pool being the hot source for the organic Rankine cycle evaporator, the supplementary reservoir of water feeding the organic Rankine cycle condenser directly via a dedicated pump to constitute the cold source of the organic Rankine cycle condenser.

  • LIGHT WATER NUCLEAR REACTOR (LWR), IN PARTICULAR PRESSURIZED WATER REACTOR (PWR) OR BOILING WATER REACTOR (BWR), WITH A HEAT SINK ON THE GROUND AND INCORPORATING AN AUTONOMOUS DECAY HEAT REMOVAL (DHR) SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230230712
    Abstract: An ORC engine and an additional water reservoir, separate from the pool, the energy stored in the pool being the heat source for the evaporator of the ORC, the additional water reservoir directly supplying the condenser of the ORC via a dedicated pump in order to constitute the heat sink for the condenser of the ORC.

  • Heat exchange structure and cooling device comprising such a structure
    Patent number: 9362201
    Abstract: A heat exchange structure is provided, including a primary face provided with non-through holes formed in said face, the inner surface of the holes and the surface of said primary face outside the holes being covered with nanoparticles, the inside of the holes having a non-wettability property relative to a given liquid and the surface of the face between the holes having a wettability property relative to the liquid.

  • HEAT EXCHANGE STRUCTURE, METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME, HEAT EXCHANGE DEVICE COMPRISING SUCH A STRUCTURE AND USES OF SAME
    Publication number: 20160131444
    Abstract: A heat exchange structure, and an assembly as well as to a heat exchange device comprising such a structure, applying heat transfer by boiling of a liquid and comprising a substrate and at least one layer intended to be in contact with a liquid and at least partly positioned on the substrate. The composition of this layer comprises at least a molecular switch having a lower critical solubility temperature TLCST above which it gives the layer non-wetting properties towards the liquid and below which it gives the layer wetting properties towards the liquid, this lower critical solubility temperature TLCST of the molecular switch being selected so as to be greater than or equal to the saturation temperature Tsat of the liquid.
