| dc.description.abstract | The spallation target of the Energy Amplifier Demonstration Facility (EADF) [1] is cooled by a liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE), while the secondary coolant is a diathermic oil. The reasons for these choices have been extensively discussed in [2] and [3]. Here we present the design and the optimisation of a heat exchanger using these fluids, whose additional requirements are the need of fitting into the top of the annular downcomer section of the target and the minimisation of the pressure losses on the LBE side, allowing the use of natural convection for the circulation of the primary fluid. Heat exchanger working temperatures are between 250 and 180°C in the LBE side, and between 150 and 190°C in the oil side (cold fluid), while the power to be removed is up to 3 MW. We selected a bayonet-type heat exchanger, as suggested in [4] for the primary loop of the EADF vessel, which seems to be the most appropriate choice to satisfy all the requirements. | IT |
