The main component of the Component Cooling System in Nuclear Power Plants is the heat exchanger, which dissipates excessive heat from the system amid all the power plant operating regimes. In this thesis there are basic technical characteristics of the heat exchanger determined, based on 4 different methods, which are founded on a) the thermodynamic b) hydraulic definition of the heat exchanger and c) spatial requirements of the existing state in the Nuclear Power Plant. The results of all the methods indicate, that the selection of the tube material inside the heat exchanger does not affect drastically on the total heat transferred. Calculated coefficient of total heat transfer U is within each method on average smaller for 1,4 %, according to the present state of the heat exchanger, due to switching relevant materials.
