Experiments on Heat Removal in a Gap between Debris Crust and RPV Wall

  • 1. Siemens AG/KWU, Freyeslebenstr. 1, 91058 Erlangen (Germany)

Description

The thermal hydraulic phenomena which occur in a gap between a debris crust and the RPV wall was investigated experimentally. The goal of these experiments was to find out the limits of heat removal at the relevant system parameters. For simulation of the decay heat a maximum heat flux of 550 kW/m2 was possible. The influence of gap width, water submersion, pressure and water subcooling on critical heat flux are presented. (authors)
