Abstract

The EBBSG (External Boiling Bayonet Steam Generator) system, proposed in previous publications, offers an alternative to the classical once-through high pressure steam generators. This system exploits the combination between the Loeffler external boiling scheme and the bayonet-tube steam generator and is expected to provide advantages in terms of safety while keeping good values of cycle performance and vessel size. The main disadvantages result in the increased size of the heat exchangers with respect to once-through steam boilers and in the need of steam blowers, as envisaged under the Loeffler scheme.
