  2. Supercritical steam generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_steam_generator

    Supercritical water exists at temperatures above 374 °C and pressures above 220 atmospheres. Diagram of a supercritical water-cooled nuclear reactor. A supercritical steam generator is a type of boiler that operates at supercritical pressure and temperature, frequently used in the production of electric power.

  3. Steam generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_generator

    Monotube steam generator; Supercritical steam generator or Benson boiler, a high-pressure steam generator that operates in the supercritical pressure regime, such that no boiling takes place within it. Steam generator (auxiliary boiler), a steam-powered boiler used on ships to produce a low-pressure steam, heated by a high-pressure steam supply ...

  4. Supercritical water reactor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_water_reactor

    The SCWR operates at supercritical pressure. The reactor outlet coolant is supercritical water.Light water is used as a neutron moderator and coolant. Above the critical point, steam and liquid become the same density and are indistinguishable, eliminating the need for pressurizers and steam generators (), or jet/recirculation pumps, steam separators and dryers ().

  5. Supercritical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical

    Supercritical steam generator, a steam generator operating above the critical point of water, hence having no water–steam separation; Supercritical water oxidation or SCWO, a process that occurs in water at temperatures and pressures above a mixture's thermodynamic critical point; Supercritical water reactor (SCWR), a Generation IV nuclear ...

  6. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_(power_generation)

    Supercritical steam generators are frequently used for the production of electric power. They operate at supercritical pressure. In contrast to a "subcritical boiler", a supercritical steam generator operates at such a high pressure (over 3,200 psi or 22.06 MPa) that actual boiling ceases to occur, the boiler has no liquid water - steam separation.

  7. Supercritical fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_fluid

    Many coal-fired supercritical steam generators are operational all over the world. Supercritical carbon dioxide is also proposed as a working fluid, which would have the advantage of lower critical pressure than water, but issues with corrosion are not yet fully solved. [31] [32] One proposed application is the Allam cycle.

  8. Boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler

    Supercritical steam generators are frequently used for the production of electric power. They operate at supercritical pressure. In contrast to a "subcritical boiler", a supercritical steam generator operates at such a high pressure (over 3,200 psi or 22 MPa) that the physical turbulence that characterizes boiling ceases to occur; the fluid is ...
