Description

The heat transfer rates that occur inside and outside surfaces of the passive containment cooling system with both dry and wet outer containment surface following a postulated accident were investigated. The test model represented a 60 section of a containment vessel based on the AP600 geometry. The natural convective heat transfer from the containment to the air without water film flow was exceeded the expected values. Water film flow for the containment cooling is very effective to maintain the integrity of the structure of containment during postulated accident the local heat removal rate at the top of the dome is significantly higher than the average removal rate.
