摘要:
A mechanical securing assembly (40) is adapted to secure the structural integrity of a flow passage formed by at least a first pipe part (41) and a second pipe part (42). The assembly comprises a connecting member (43), a first fastening member (44), attached to the connecting member and adapted to secure the connecting member to the first pipe part, and a second fastening member (45), attached to the connecting member and adapted to secure the connecting member to the second pipe part. The connecting member comprises a spring element (46) exerting a force pulling the first fastening member and the second fastening member towards each other along a primary axis (y), and thus being adapted to force the first pipe part and the second pipe part towards each other. The spring element is extendable along the primary axis by a compression of the spring element along a secondary axis forming an angle to the primary axis.
摘要:
A clamp assembly (19) for securing a thermal sleeve (9) and an elbow (11) in a pipe assembly in a nuclear reactor (1), and a nuclear reactor (1) with such a clamp assembly is described. The clamp assembly comprises a sleeve clamp (37) adapted to be arranged surrounding the elbow (11) at the first joint (17) between the elbow (11) and the thermal sleeve (9), and comprising sleeve support means (25) adapted to extend across the first joint (17) between the elbow (11) and the thermal sleeve (9). The clamp assembly (19) comprises at least one clamp arm (27) with a first end being arranged to rest against at least one of the core shroud (7) and the core plate support ring (6), to provide a support for the positioning of the sleeve clamp (37).
