Conference Article: Intermediate heat exchanger for HTR process heat application

Abstract

In the French study on the nuclear gasification of coal, the following options were recommended: Coal hydrogenation, the hydrogen being derived from CH⁴ reforming under the effects of HTR heat. The use of an intermediate helium circuit between the nuclear plant and the reforming plant. The purpose of the present paper is to describe the heat exchanger designed to transfer heat from the primary to the intermediate circuit
