Experimental Researches of Direct Contact Steam Generators Characteristics with Heavy Liquid Metal Heat-Carriers
Experimental researches of direct contact Lead and Lead-bismuth heat-carriers steam generators elements characteristics are resuLted. The water-steam phase input and dispergation devices entered into Liquid metaL, formed bubbles sizes, the bubbles emersion speed, characteristics of heat exchange between Liquid metal and bubbles were researched. Experiments were conducted under a range of lead and lead-bismuth eutectic temperatures 350-550°C; pressure of submitted water 0,2-8,0 MPa; forming bubble and the jet (torch) outflow charges of water up to 200 kg/h; durable Liquid metal free surface steam loading up to 10,0 m<sup>3</sup>/m<sup>2</sup>h.
