Electricity generation facility comprising a device for producing steam of reduced height, application to PWR and BWR reactors

An electrical energy generation facility comprising:

• a steam production device configured to produce steam saturated with water in the form of water droplets in suspension from a heat source and feed water and arranged in an enclosure;
• a set of one or more separators connected downstream to the steam production device and configured to extract a majority of the water from the steam produced by the device;
• the set of separators being arranged in the enclosure;
• a set of one or more dryers having an inlet, connected upstream to the set of separators configured to collect the water droplets coming from the set of separators, thus producing dry steam;
• a steam turbine comprising at least one expansion body for the dry steam, the steam turbine being configured to generate electricity from the dry steam;
• a set of one or more exchangers, configured to function as steam superheaters or to reheat the feed water;
• wherein the set of dryers is arranged outside the enclosure of the steam production device with the inlet connected upstream to the set of separators, a first outlet connected downstream to an inlet of said turbine body, and a second outlet connected downstream as a heat source to the set of exchangers, and
• wherein the steam turbine is a double-body turbine comprising a high-pressure body and a low-pressure body, wherein the set of exchangers is connected to the outlet of the high-pressure body and to the inlet of the low-pressure body of the turbine and is configured to reheat the steam leaving the high-pressure body before it enters the low-pressure body, and wherein the first outlet of the set of dryers is connected downstream to the inlet of the high-pressure body of the high-pressure turbine.
