A type of cylindrical heat exchanger used in nuclear reactors and other industrial applications to transfer heat between fluids through a series of tubes.
Spanish/Portuguese term derived from the same root as 'calandra' (related to rolling or cylindrical objects), adapted into technical terminology for industrial equipment.
The calandria is essential to nuclear power—it's the component that lets reactor coolant exchange heat without mixing, making modern atomic energy possible.
