Heat exchangers building fabric

The construction of the HTTR started in March 1991, with first criticality in 1997 to be followed after commissioning testing. At present the HTITI reactor building and its containment vessel have been constructed and its main components, such as a reactor pressure vessel, an intermediate heat exchanger, hot gas pipings and core support structures, have been installed in the containment vessel. Fuel fabrication has been started as well. 

An auxiliary heat exchanger is provided in the circulation loop for startup to raise the sol-vent/caialyst medium to reaction temperature before Claus gas injection. There is no water build-up in the system, and, because the process is carried out at a temperature above the boiling point of water, the solvent is non-corrosive and the equipment is fabricated entirely of carton steel. 

The main applications of 3003 are in the building sector (cladding panels, roohng sheet), fabrication, sheet metal work, heat exchanger tubing, circles for kitchen utensils, etc.
