Stability of Natural-Circulation-Cooled Boiling Water Reactors During Startup: Experimental Results

Journal Article Manera, Annalisa ; Hagen, Tim H.J.J. van der - Nuclear Technology

The characteristics of flashing-induced instabilities, which are of importance during the startup phase of natural-circulation boiling water reactors, are studied. Experiments at typical startup conditions (low power and low pressure) are carried out on a steam/water natural-circulation loop. The flashing and the mechanism of flashing-induced instability are analyzed. The effect of system pressure and steam volume in the steam dome is investigated as well.The instability region is found as soon as the operational boundary between single-phase and two-phase operation is crossed. Increasing pressure has a stabilizing effect, reducing the operational region in which instabilities occur. Nonequilibrium between phases and enthalpymore »« less

Experimental Study for Two Phase Flow Instability in the PCHE Type Steam Generator in SMR

Journal Article Shin, Chang Wook ; No, Hee Cheon - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society

Conventional U-tube type heat exchangers have some limitations when applied to Small Modular Reactor (SMRs). In particular, the size of steam generators is important in the SMR, as it greatly affects the size, and thus the cost, of the reactor vessel.. Therefore, the circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) is suggested as an alternative. PCHE, a compact type heat exchanger manufactured by HEATRIC, has several advantages such as the reduced size, wide operation range until 900? and 900 bar and high power density due to the large heat transfer area over volume ratio. Recently, it is newly suggested as an application ofmore »« less
