Abstract
The moisture separator reheater (MSR) is a facility which is used to improve the thermal efficiency for the nuclear power plant. We have been developing the technique to improve moisture separation efficiency of MSR using wire-mesh combined with wave-shaped vanes. The objective of this study is to clarify the wire-mesh configurations which can minimize the exit moisture by droplet diameter measurement. We confirmed that droplet diameters were increased and the exit moisture was reduced as the number of layer was increased. Within our experiment range, six layered wire-mesh with 0.65 mm diameter can minimize the moisture, which is reduced from 0.45% without wire-mesh to 0.08%.
