The invention relates generally to methods and apparatus for start-up and control of liquid salt energy storage combined cycle systems.

Disclosed are a device and a method for producing high-pressure or super high-pressure steam as a byproduct from a maleic anhydride producing device. The device includes a super high-pressure steam drum, a molten salt pump, an oxidation reactor, a regulating valve, molten salt coolers, a switching cooler and a gas cooler. The molten salt pump, the oxidation reactor, the regulating valve and the molten salt coolers are connected. A boiler water buffer device and a boiler water booster pump are arranged between the switching cooler and the gas cooler. The unique design of the boiler water intermediate pressure boosting and the gas cooler in the disclosure makes the gas cooler and the switching cooler very easy to manufacture. Heat can be effectively recovered from process gas to produce high-pressure or super high-pressure steam while accumulation of dust in the process gas is avoided and tar adhesion is easy to clean.

A nuclear reactor includes a heat exchanger that transfers thermal energy from a primary reactor coolant to a secondary coolant. The heat exchanger is a compact plate heat exchanger and more than one heat exchanger may be spaced about the reactor vessel. A plurality of heat exchangers may be spaced vertically, radially, and/or circumferentially about the reactor vessel. A first heat exchanger may be in fluid communication with a second heat exchanger. Two or more heat exchangers may share a thermal load and therefore share thermal stresses. The heat exchanger may have a third fluid flow path and a third fluid. The third fluid may be used to remove fission products, be used for leak detection, create an oxidation layer to inhibit migration of activation products, and/or provide additional heat transfer.
