Abstract
Reverse steam generator for a lead-cooled fast reactor. The reverse steam generator comprises a cylindrical body with a bundle of heat exchange tubes located inside, the ends of the heat exchange tubes being fixed in tube sheets with intermediate support grids; inlet and outlet spherical chambers for supplying liquid metal coolant; a lower branch pipe for inlet water; and an upper branch pipe for a steam outlet. The cylindrical body is arranged horizontally and is curved in a Z-shape with a difference in height. The bundle of heat exchange tubes is also made in a Z-shape, repeating the bend of the cylindrical body.
