The steam generator is provided with a vertical cylindrical enclosure having a bundle of U-shaped tubes therein connected to inlet and outlet collectors through a tube plate at the bottom. An inner casing surrounding the tubes defines an annular chamber which communicates with the tube chamber adjacent the tube plate. A heater is provided about the outlet portion of the tubes within the tube chamber. An ejector pump supplying a secondary fluid is located in the annular chamber adjacent the heater for pumping secondary fluid through the heater. A portion of the heated secondary fluid is recirculated through the pump and the remainder is directed into the tube chamber. Vapor phase separators are provided on top of the inner casing to allow the passage of the vapor phase through an outlet in the enclosure while returning the liquid phase to the annular chamber.

A steam generator comprising a substantially cylindrical enclosure having a vertical axis, a horizontal tube plate disposed in the enclosure adjacent the lower end thereof, inlet and outlet collector chambers disposed in said enclosure below said tube plate, a bundle of U-shaped tubes disposed in said enclosure with the ends connected through said horizontal tube plate to said inlet collector and said outlet collector, respectively, for circulating a primary fluid through said tubes, means for providing a secondary fluid into the enclosure in liquid form and means for extracting said secondary fluid from the enclosure in vapor form, an inner casing surrounding said bundle of tubes, separating devices located at the upper end of said inner casing above said bundle of tubes for separating the liquid phase from the vapor phase and passing said liquid phase into an annular chamber provided between said casing and said enclosure so that the liquid phase comes into contact with said tube plate, a heater in which the secondary fluid is brought to its boiling temperature located in said casing adjacent said plate with said bundle of tubes passing therethrough, ejector pump means disposed in the lower part of said annular chamber adjacent said heater, partition means in the lower part of said annular chamber defining a pump chamber adjacent said heater separate from the remaining volume of said annular chamber, first passage means through said casing communicating the upper end of said heater with said pump chamber, second passage means through said casing communicating the lower part of said pump chamber to said heater for recycling the majority of the flow of secondary fluid in liquid form through said pump chamber back to said heater and an additional passage means from the top of said heater to said chamber defined by said casing above said heater through which the remaining flow passes towards the separating means after passing around the bundle of tubes above said heater.
