Abstract

See full text

One or more embodiments of the present invention relate to a pump/heat exchanger assembly of a nuclear reactor, in particular a liquid metal cooled nuclear reactor, the pump being characterized in that the shaft for driving the impeller is inserted in an shell inside the heat exchanger and has a smaller cross section at the bottom part of the tube bundle of the heat exchanger and a cross section that gradually increases up to a widest cross section at the top part of the tube bundle of the heat exchanger. The resulting axial profile of the impeller's shaft is, at the same time, designed to uniformly distribute the flow of the primary fluid inside the tube bundle of the heat exchanger and to provide high mechanical inertia to the pump.
