Unlike the water-cooled thermal reactor on the Nautilus, the Seawolf's high-speed reactor will be cooled by liquid sodium, will create more heat and energy and burn more nuclear .
Its nose encloses two water-cooled V-type, 662-h.
While Westinghouse and General Electric are concentrating on improving their water-cooled reactors, many nuclear scientists are taking a different approach.
Diesel Marine Generator uses freshwater cooling, internal VCS. Powered by freshwater-cooled Kubota Z428 twin cylinder diesel with freshwater-cooled asynchronous electrical end, Fischer Panda 8 Mini DP AC Generator comes with sound shield, digital NMEA control panel, remote fuel pump, and pre-wired harnesses. This 350 lb generator, operating at 52 dBa @ 7 m, has internal Voltage Control System (VCS) as well as sealed, lower sound shield base to reduce ...
