Reactor Cooling Pump

Reactor Cooling Pump

A reactor cooling pump is a type of mechanical equipment that is used in various industrial processes, particularly in nuclear power plants, to circulate coolant or coolant mixture in a reactor system to remove excess heat generated during the nuclear reaction.

The reactor cooling pump is typically designed to handle high temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive fluids, and it plays a critical role in maintaining the safe and efficient operation of the nuclear reactor by ensuring that the reactor remains within its designed temperature and pressure limits.
