Theoretical calculation simulation studies of ABV nuclear reactor coupled with desalination system

Abstract

Summary In this paper, research has been conducted on the floating type nuclear power plant named as ABV reactor which is designed for district heating, power, and sea water desalination by OKBM facility at Russia. This reactor was tested under different thermal loads during the designing phase, and three modules have been investigated. Theoretical calculations and simulation studies have been performed on these three modules having specifications as ABV‐6M with 47MWth, ABV‐6 with 38MWth, and ABV‐3 with 18MWth.The results obtained from these modules have been calculated mathematically and verified by simulation. We have compared the originally derived data of ABV desalination system with our theoretical and simulation analysis. The results from two desalination techniques including RO and RO + MED have been calculated and are presented in this paper with details. The results obtained from both analysis show that the efficiency of ABV nuclear reactor desalination system increases with the decrease in corresponding water cost ratio.

Safety analysis of pool‐type double containment of system‐integrated modular advanced reactor: A case study for Saudi Arabia

“…SMRs and their applications on power and water desalination of up to 300 MW have seen an increasing interest worldwide. Reactor components and auxiliary systems can be fabricated at the manufacturing facility and shipped to the designated site as a single or multi‐intergraded modular 7,8 . An SMR covers most of the reactor technologies ranging from 10 to 300 MW and safely devolves for water‐cooled, high‐temperature gas‐cooled, liquid‐metal, sodium‐ and gas‐cooled, and molten salt reactors.…”

Multi‐criteria thermoeconomic and thermodynamic assessments of the desalination‐integrated two‐phase liquid‐immersion data center cooling system

“…10 Besides the above-mentioned waste heat recovery techniques, the seawater desalination by using the waste heat (steam) of data center cooling systems has also been proposed as an idea by Ebrahimi et al 11 However, the modeling and performance assessment details were not given in that study. In fact, integration of the desalination process is a widely-proposed approach for different energy systems such as nuclear power plants, 12 marine energy and industry, 13,14 solar energy, 15,16 fuel cell and gas turbine 17 and thermoelectric coolers. 18 Those studies inferred that low-temperature energy systems can be efficiently combined with the desalination process.…”
