Patent EP-0316120-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BOARDMAN CHARLES EDWARD
IPC: G21D5/08
Filed: 1988-11-04
Abstract: The intermediate heat transport system provides steam generation from the secondary, non-radioactive, liquid sodium heat extraction loop (20) of a sodium cooled nuclear reactor (R). The system (Fig. 3A) includes a unitary module combining the steam generating heat exchanger, the pump for the circulation of the liquid sodium coolant, and the surge volume required for differential expansion between the sodium and the vessels that contain the sodium. Two concentric (60,62) cylindrical and vertically standing vessels are provided for containing the liquid sodium; one (60) vessel is outer and larger; the other inner vessel (62), which is of a double wall construction and open on its lower end, is hung from the top of the longer vessel (60). The outer and larger cylindrical vessel (60) has, e.g four, feedwater inlet plenums (71,74) at the bottom, and. e.g. four, steam outlet plenums (81,84) at the top. Tube sheets (75) terminate each plenum (71) to a tube bundle (76) extending between the inlet and outlet plenums. The tube bundles are helically coiled (76) in the lower two-thirds of the outer and larger vessel in the interstices between the inner and outer vessels. The tube bundles extend vertically upward parallel to the axis of the cylindrical vessels to the steam outlet plenums through the top one-third of the vessel to provide a portion of the required surge volume. The second smaller vessel (62) is concentric within the outer cylindrical vessel and open to the outer cylindrical vessel at the bottom. At least one electromagnetic high temperature sodium pump (Q1) is placed within the inner vessel and   hermetically sealed for pumping sodium to and from the reactor. Hot sodium inflows from the reactor at the top of the outer cylindrical vessel through a distributor (80). The hot sodium counterflows to the feedwater within the tube bundles in the interstices before the inner and outer vessels. At the bottom of the outer vessels when the sodium has given its heat to the steam generation, the sodium passes upwardly into the inlet of the or each electromagnetic pump (Q1) between return to the reactor. The sodium passes upwardly through the pump to a surge volume (144) immediately overlying the pump. A second lower pressure surge volume (148) is located at the top of the outer vessel. Provision (Fig. 4A) is made for differential movement between the double walls to make up the inner vessel. These walls are exposed to differential temperatures resulting from inflow and outflow of sodium to accommodate required thermal excursion of the vessels relative to one another.

Abstract: Un système de traitement en parallèle (2) pour la production de programmes de règles utilise un ordinateur central (4) pour stocker des parties droites (RHS) de règles de production et une pluralité de processeurs de règles (6) pour stocker des parties gauches (LHS). Les processeurs de règles fonctionnent en parallèle dans la phase de reconnaissance du système - cycle d'action - pour faire correspondre leurs LHS respectives avec une liste mémorisée d'éléments mémoire de travail (WME) de manière à trouver un ensemble autoconsistant d'éléments mémoire de travail (WME). La liste des WME varie dynamiquement pendant la phase d'action du système dans lequel l'ordinateur central exécute ou déclenche les RHS pour les règles dont un ensemble autoconsistant a été trouvé par les processeurs de règles. L'ordinateur central (4) transmet des instructions pour créer ou effacer des éléments mémoire de travail comme cela est dicté par les déclenchements de règle jusqu'à ce que les processeurs soient invalidés dans le but de trouver d'autres éventuels ensembles d'éléments mémoire de travail autoconsistants, moments pendant lesquels le système de règle de production est arrêté.

Abstract: A position-coded goniometer comprises a track made of a uniform, magnetically conductive material with a profiled surface, which extends around the axis of rotation, and a pair of sensors opposite the track, which inductively scan the distance to the moving profiled surface. By suitable geometry, the two sensors can be made to emit approximately sinusoidal signals with a phase difference of 90 DEG , whose phase relation is a reversible, single-valued function of the angle of rotation. Compensating sensors, whose signals are added to those of the sensor signals, can compensate distortions due to radial and/or axial play of the axis of rotation.

Abstract: The system has a specific number (i = 1 to I) of measuring channels, each measuring signal (x<(i)>) having a channel-independent component(s) which is weighted with a channel-dependent compensation coefficient (A<(i)>), and an additive, channel-dependent interfering component (u<(i)>). Initially, a preliminary compensation value (sum) is formed from the measuring signals and the compensation coefficients and preliminary compensated measuring signal values (sk<(i)>) are formed with said compensation value. Measuring channels (j = 1 to J) with a high degree of interference are then sought. For these channels a respective approximation value (ñ) of the interference signal is determined and used to form a correction value (@). A final compensation value (sum'), with which the final compensated measuring signal values (sk') are calculated is formed using the correction values (@).
