Title: Cocurrent loop thermosyphon heat transfer system for sub-ambient evaporative cooling and cool storage

Abstract

Provided is a cocurrent loop thermosyphon system and method for operation thereof. The system includes a first rising tube having first and second ends; a condenser having first and second ends, with the first end connected to the second end of the first rising tube; a return tube having a first end connected to the second end of the condenser; a second rising tube having a first end connected to a second end of the return tube; a pump that pumps liquid within the second rising tube; and an evaporator having a first end connected to the second end of the second rising tube. The second end of the evaporator outputs vapor created by a change in state of the liquid to the first end of the first rising tube.

Experimental study of the heat transfer characteristics of a two-phase double-loop thermosyphon

Journal Article Chen, K S ; Tsai, S T ; Yu, W T - Experimental Heat Transfer; (United States)

This paper presents an experimental study for the heat transfer characteristics of a rectangular two- phase, double-loop thermosyphon with water-steam as the working fluid. The evaporator was installed in the middle branch and shared by the two condensors. Local temperature measurements of the core fluid and the wall were made, and the overall heat transfer coefficients of the evaporator, the condensors, and the loop system were obtained and correlated in terms of the fluid properties, heat flux conditions, and the liquid charge level V{sup +}. Results show that the overall heat transfer coefficients increase with decreasing V{sup +} and increasingmore »« less

Theoretical Design of Thermosyphon for Process Heat Transfer from NGNP to Hydrogen Plant

Conference Sabharwall, Piyush ; Patterson, Mike ; Gunnerson, Fred

The Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) will most likely produce electricity and process heat, with both being considered for hydrogen production. To capture nuclear process heat, and transport it to a distant industrial facility requires a high temperature system of heat exchangers, pumps and/or compressors. The heat transfer system is particularly challenging not only due to the elevated temperatures (up to ~ 1300K) and industrial scale power transport (=50 MW), but also due to a potentially large separation distance between the nuclear and industrial plants (100+m) dictated by safety and licensing mandates. The work reported here is the preliminary analysismore »« less

RELAP5 Model of a Two-phase ThermoSyphon Experimental Facility for Fuels and Materials Irradiation

Conference Carbajo, Juan J ; McDuffee, Joel Lee

The High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) does not have a separate materials-irradiation flow loop and requires most materials and all fuel experiments to be placed inside a containment. This is necessary to ensure that internal contaminants such as fission products cannot be released into the primary coolant. As part of the safety basis justification, HFIR also requires that all experiments be able to withstand various accident conditions (e.g., loss of coolant) without generating vapor bubbles on the surface of the experiment in the primary coolant. As with any parallel flow system, HFIR is vulnerablemore »« less
