Abstract

A reactor vessel liner system includes a liner having an inner wall, an outer wall, and a plurality of passages extending between the inner wall and the outer wall. An attachment member extends outwards from the outer wall for securing the liner.

Claims (26)

1. A reactor vessel liner system comprising:

a liner having an inner wall and an outer wall that define a plurality of passages extending between the inner wall and the outer wall and wherein the liner includes a non-slag coating disposed on the inner wall and the non-slag coating comprises at least one of a metal alloy or a ceramic material; and

an attachment member extending outwards from the outer wall for securing the liner.

2. The reactor vessel liner system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the attachment member comprises a flange.

3. The reactor vessel liner system as recited in claim 2 , wherein the liner is cylindrical, and the flange extends entirely around a circumference of the liner.

4. The reactor vessel liner system as recited in claim 2 , wherein the flange is located proximate to one end of the liner.

5. The reactor vessel liner system as recited in claim 2 , wherein the flange comprises a wall of a coolant manifold.

6. The reactor vessel liner system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the liner includes a turn manifold fluidly connecting the plurality of passages.

7. The reactor vessel liner system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the liner includes a plurality of coolant entry ports fluidly connected with first passages of the plurality of passages, and a plurality of coolant exit ports fluidly connected with second, different passages of the plurality of passages.

8. The reactor vessel liner system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the liner is comprised of a metal alloy.

9. The reactor vessel liner system as recited in claim 8 , wherein the metal alloy comprises cobalt.

10. The reactor vessel liner system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the inner wall includes a plurality of projections extending therefrom.

11. The reactor vessel liner system as recited in claim 10 , wherein the projections are covered with a non-slag coating comprised of at least one of a metal alloy, a ceramic material, or a ramming compound.

12. The reactor vessel liner system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the outer wall defines the attachment member.

13. The reactor vessel liner system as recited in claim 12 , wherein the attachment member is a flange that extends entirely around a circumference of the liner.

14. The reactor vessel liner system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the inner wall includes anchoring devices for attachment of slag.

15. The reactor vessel liner system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the inner wall includes studs that project radially inwards from the inner wall.

16. A reactor vessel system comprising:

a reactor vessel including a vessel wall;

a liner that lines the vessel wall, the liner having an inner wall and an outer wall that define a plurality of passages extending between the inner wall and the outer wall and wherein the liner includes a non-slag coating disposed on the inner wall and the non-slag coating comprises at least one of a metal alloy or a ceramic material; and

an attachment member extending outwards from the outer wall for securing the liner to the reactor vessel.

17. The reactor vessel system as recited in claim 16 , wherein liner includes a fixed end and a free end relative to the reactor vessel, the fixed end being secured to the reactor vessel by the attachment member.

18. The reactor vessel system as recited in claim 16 , wherein the attachment member comprises a flange.

19. The reactor vessel system as recited in claim 16 , further comprising a clamp securing the liner to the reactor vessel.

20. The reactor vessel system as recited in claim 16 , wherein the liner is cylindrical, and a coolant inlet manifold and a coolant outlet manifold each extend entirely around a circumference of the liner.

21. The reactor vessel system as recited in claim 20 , wherein the liner includes a plurality of coolant entry ports fluidly connecting the coolant inlet manifold with first passages of the plurality of passages, and a plurality of coolant exit ports fluidly connecting the coolant outlet manifold with second, different passages of the plurality of passages.
