Formation and hydraulic effects of deposits in high temperature sodium coolant systems
Description
Deposition of sodium impurities in the high temperature (6000C), high flow (Reynolds Number approximately equal to 8 x 104) regions of a sodium coolant circuit is being studied to determine its possible hydraulic effects. Increases in flow impedance (pressure drop/volume flow2) of up to 30 percent have been detected in an annular flow sensor. The apparatus and preliminary results of these tests are presented. Continuing tests are to specifically identify the materials involved and the system conditions under which the formations occur
