Abstract

As the name implies, the heat exchanger serves to transfer heat between coolant circuits in a power plant. The steam generator, intermediate heat exchanger (IHX), and condenser were introduced in Chapter 1 as the components employed for this purpose in nuclear systems. To reiterate, the PWR requires a steam generator, the LMFBR (and most probably the CTR) requires both a steam generator and IHX, and all reactors require a condenser.
