600 - Pressurizer and pressurizer surge line

Geometrical data of pressurizer is shown in the figures below. The pressurizer is subdivided into modules from 601 to 603, as shown in Figure 2.3. In the joint between the pressurizer bottom and the pressurizer surge line end there is the pressurizer surge nozzle. Inside the pressurizer surge nozzle there is the screen component, as shown in Figure 2.4. The internal diameter of the surge line is 42.8 mm, while the external diameter is 60.3 mm. The geometrical details of the heaters can be seen in Figure 2.6. In the pressurizer there are 12 electrical heaters with 4kW of power each. The power capacity of the primary heaters is 12 kW, while the power of the backup heaters is 36 kW.
