Geothermal Loop Experimental Facility. Quarterly report, January--March 1978

Description: The Geothermal Loop Experimental Facility (GLEF) utilizes a four stage flash/binary process for the extraction of energy from a high temperature, high salinity, liquid-dominated resource. Since plant start-up in May 1976, a substantial amount of information has been obtained on the operation of the plant, components, brine and steam composition, production and injection wells, and the potential of the Niland Reservoir. The general operation and activities of the GLEF during the period January 1… more

Hydrodynamic design report intermediate size inducer pump for sodium operation

Description: An inducer pump has been designed to fit within the existing housing of the FFTF Facility. The design has been shown to meet the specified requirements in every area where an analytical prediction of the performance can be made. The head-rise and efficiency of the pump have design margins so that the calculated values actually exceed requirements over the full range of operation. The suction performance of the design provides a very large margin at the operating NPSH value which is the major ad… more

Recirculating flow analyses of Intermediate Size Inducer Pump (ISIP)

Description: This report documents the recirculation flow analyses for the Intermediate-Size Inducer Pump (ISIP), from which the primary flowrates through the pump were obtained. The front and rear impeller labyrinth seals, which incorporate stepped pockets with slanted and rounded ribs were checked. These seal design features should minimize the impeller labyrinth seal leakages and also provide excellent shutoff head characteristics.
