ACTIVITIES

 

SGTF Maintenance Section (SGTF (M))

 

  • Maintenance of Steam Generator Test Facility (SGTF)

 

SGTF Operation Section (SGTF OS)

  • Operation of Steam Generator Test Facility (SGTF)

  • Optimize the design of Steam Generator (SG) for FBRs

  • Assessment of SG heat transfer area and waterside pressure drop safety margins to validate process design codes

  • Assessment of SG thermal hydraulic instabilities viz. Ledinegg and density wave instability  SG behavior with few tubes plugged.

  • Assessment of temperature distribution on the sodium side of SG under different steady state and transient operating conditions to validate multi dimensional computer codes.

  • Assessment of heat transfer area margins in the sodium to air cooler similar to the one used in the decay heat removal system of PFBR.

  • Assessment of propagation of hydrogen in the sodium circuit in a simulated sodium water reaction.

  • Assessment of time of depressurization of SG tube side (water/steam).

  • We have a team of staff with very good experience in the operation of sodium system, sodium pumps, sodium instrumentation, oil fired heater system and high pressure steam water system.
