Conference Article: HTR-E Project: High Temperature Components and Systems
E. Beruil, FRAMATOME-ANP, France and R. Exner, Borsig Energy GmbH, GermanyAbstract
The HTR-E European project (four years project) is proposed for the 5th Framework Programme and concerns the technical developments needed for the innovative components of a modern HTR with a direct cycle. These components have been selected with reference to the present projects (GT-MHR, PBMR) :
- the helium turbine, the recuperator heat exchanger, the electro-magnetic bearings and the helium rotating seal.
- the tribology. Sliding innovative components in helium environment are particularly concerned.
- the helium purification system. Recommendations on impurities contents have to be provided in accordance with the materials proposed for the innovative components.
- on experience feedback from European past helium test loops and reactors
- on design studies, thermal-hydraulic and structural analyses
- and on experimental tests
