Part 4/6:
The presentation delved into the installation process for the thermowell, emphasizing the importance of securing the thermocouple effectively. Bob discusses the potential use of high aluminum content refractory cement or specialized bonding agents to connect the thermowell to the reactor core. This connection must be executed with precision to withstand the high temperatures and pressures involved.
Potential Materials and Techniques
- Refractory Cement/Bonding Agent: The choice of materials here is pivotal, with options including high-tech ceramics or malignant-based brazing agents. Each option presents varying benefits regarding thermal resistance and durability.
