Description

The effect of aerosol deposition on the capacity of a single tube heat exchanger is studied in this work. The aim of the work is to establish an extensive experimental database so that modelling studies can be conducted on this phenomenon. The information is required in order to investigate the behaviour of a passive containment condenser (PCC) under severe accident conditions. The experimental parameters are carefully chosen so that they would be representative to the accident conditions in the condenser. The accumulation of the deposition into the heat exchanger is measured with online gamma spectrometry. Sodium chloride and copper were chosen to represent the aerosol released in an accident.
