This master's thesis deals with the design of a district heating system for the Tušimice area using a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) by Rolls-Royce, intended to replace the aging Tušimice II and Prunéřov II coal power plants as part of the energy sector decarbonization. The thesis includes research on the heat demand of the surrounding areas and the design of the SMR secondary circuit thermal scheme for heating water in the district heating network. Two-stage and three-stage heating variants are thermodynamically and economically compared; based on the lower electrical power loss at the turbine, the three-stage heating is selected. The core of the thesis is a detailed thermal and hydraulic design of the base load district heater (ZO II), designed as a vertical shell-and-tube heat exchanger with an integrated condensate subcooler.
