BWX Technologies, Inc.'s (BWXT) expertise in heat transfer systems has enabled us to provide quality components to the nuclear industry and, in particular, has allowed us to design and manufacture some of the most reliable and long-serving steam generators, pressurizers, and heat exchangers on the nuclear market.
In a nuclear plant arrangement, heat exchangers transfer heat from the primary side (reactor) to the secondary side steam generator. The heat exchangers redistribute condensate that is created via exhaust steam from the turbines.
Our experience includes the designing and manufacturing of more than 305 OEM and replacement nuclear steam generators and more than 100 other heat exchangers for plants around the world.
Through this experience, we’ve been able to grow our competencies across the entire range of heat transfer equipment, and our knowledge and experience in the design and manufacturing of heat exchangers for the nuclear market are second-to-none.
Our in-depth knowledge and experience come from our involvement in every aspect of designing, manufacturing, installation, commissioning and servicing heat exchangers.
Our engineers have the tools and experience to design heat exchangers to meet the operational and reliability requirements that today’s nuclear operators demand. All BWXT-supplied steam generators and heat exchangers have met or exceeded their specified thermal performance requirements.
