Utilizing deionized water as the coolant, tests were conducted at Reynolds number of 150 1100, three different heat fluxes, and two inlet temperature of 33 and 60 °C.
A series of tests dedicated to station blackout (SBO) accident scenarios have been recently performed at the Primärkreislauf-Versuchsanlage (primary coolant loop test facility; PKL) facility in the framework of the OECD/NEA PKL-3 project.
In the partial loss of coolant flow test, primary coolant flow rate is slightly reduced by control system.
A video from Honeywell shows R1234yf failing to burn at 600° C. A spokesman for the company says that Daimler and the German regulator put the coolant through tests "designed to fail".
An integrated ICE (Ingress-of-Coolant Event) test facility was constructed in order to demonstrate the adequacy of the ITER International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactorr) safety design approach and investigate two-phase flow behavior during an ICE event.
The coolant flow reduction test consists of the partial loss of coolant flow test and the gas circulators trip test.
The integrated ICE (Ingress-of-Coolant Events) tests are performed to investigate International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor ITERR) safety design parameters and provide experimental data to validate safety analysis codes, such as INTRA.
The integrated ICE (Ingress-of-Coolant Events) tests are performed to investigate ITER safety design parameters and provide experimental data to validate safety analysis codes, such as INTRA (IN-vessel Transient Analysis).
Coolant flow reduction test is one of the safety demonstration tests for the purpose of demonstration of inherent HTGR safety features in the case that coolant flow is reduced by tripping of helium gas circulators.
Then calculated temperatures are compared with measured ones obtained in normal operation and coolant flow reduction test.
