Abstract
A nuclear reactor main heat and waste heat integrated thermal exchanger has a first coolant zone for a first main heat loop, a second coolant zone for a second main heat loop and a third coolant zone for a waste heat removal loop. The first coolant for the first main heat loop passes through the first coolant inlet, and then reaches the orifice plate, and finally flows out from the first coolant outlet. The second coolant for the second main heat loop passes through the second coolant inlet, and then reaches the lower tube sheet, and finally flows out from the second coolant outlet. The third coolant for the waste heat removal loop enters the entrance sleeve through the third coolant inlet, and then enters multiple tubes of the tube bundle, and then enters the exit sleeve, and finally flows out from the third coolant outlet.
