Abstract: A pressure vessel, including: a body portion; and an inclined nozzle projecting from the body portion along an axis inclined relative to an inner surface of the body portion, wherein: a through hole of a circular section is formed through both the body portion and the inclined nozzle. At an intersecting portion between the inner surface of the body portion and a surface surrounding the through hole, there are formed round portions. The radius of each of the round portions at two positions in a major axis direction is smaller than the radius of each of round portions.

Abstract: A feed water and steam header equipped to a feed water nozzle or a steam nozzle of a reactor vessel in a steam generator for an integrated nuclear reactor is provided. The feed water and steam header may include a nozzle connection portion connected to a steam nozzle or a feed water nozzle of a reactor vessel, a header flange protruded outward from a lower part of the nozzle connection portion, and a tube connection portion disposed on two pipelines branched from the nozzle connection portion and connected to a tube of the steam generator.

Abstract: The present invention is made for supplying the humidifying module, which has a water permeable hollow fiber membrane bundle, at the about center part of which an bottomed inner flow passage are inserted, which gives the improved output responsibility and the startup responsibility, and which can prevent the occurrence of the remained water, even if the fluid containing steam and condensed water is led to the inner flow passage.

Abstract: A pressure vessel assembly includes a pressure vessel with a vessel wall having a connection stub with a stub wall. A thermal protector for the connection stub in the form of a first tube extends substantially parallel to the stub wall. The first tube has an inner surface, one end disposed at the stub wall and another free end extending into the pressure vessel. Brackets are disposed on the inner surface of the tube between the other free end and the stub wall. A second tube extends into the connection stub beyond the one end of the first tube. The second tube has slits formed therein defining prongs therebetween connected to the brackets.

Abstract: A reboiler and method of generating vapor from a liquid comprising a rectifying section and an evaporating section in which the evaporating section comprises a plurality of upright evaporator tubes (2) connected at their upper ends to a tube sheet (6), means for supplying liquid to the evaporator tubes and means (22) for heating the surface of evaporator tubes (2), the lower ends (4) of the evaporator tubes being sealed and each evaporator tube being provided with a concentrically positioned inner tube (8) extending from the upper end of each evaporator tube (2) to a position above the sealed end (4) of each evaporator tube and in which the rectifying section comprises a series of trays containing liquid and means for directing vapor generated in the evaporating section through the trays.

Abstract: A hot water heater having a vertical, cylindrical tank with a top wall, means for heating water within the tank, a cold water inlet at the bottom and a hot water outlet at the top includes damping vanes associated with the top wall of the tank for foiling internal thermal convection currents at the top of the tank and minimizing the mixing of hot and cold water so that the temperature of the hot water delivered at the outlet remains relatively constant over time.

Abstract: A cartridge boiler designed for use in multiples in a furnace, each cartridge boiler having a vertically oriented cylindrical drum top and bottom with hemispherical end caps, with a plurality of free-expansion boiler tubes having internal feed water supply tubes depending in a cluster through the bottom end cap. The supply tubes are gravity fed by an open feed water pan within the drum, the feed water supply being controlled by a boiler level monitoring device. The boilers are used in multiples to generate the steam required, the relative small size of individual cartridge boiler being designed to minimize fabrication costs by minimizing drum diameters, and maximize system performance by allowing select cartridge replacement without system shutdown.

Abstract: A nozzle to header or pressure vessel connection includes a sleeve preferably of stainless steel extending within the bore of the nozzle and preferably cantilevered therefrom to extend into the aligned flow passage of the header. A portion of the sleeve preferably has an elliptical cross-section which traverses at least part of the distance of the bore and contacts the inner wall of the nozzle for press fitting of the sleeve to the nozzle.
