Abstract
An investigation on the thermal hydraulic characteristics of the passive residual heat removal system (PRHRS) which is used in an integral pressurized water reactor (INSURE-100) is presented in this paper. The main components of primary coolant system are enclosed in reactor vessel. Primary fluid flow circle is natural circulation. The PRHRS can remove the energy from the primary side as long as the residual heat exchanger (RHE) is submerged in the emergency cooldown tank (ECT). The parameter study is performed by considering the effects of an effective height between the steam generators and the RHE and a valve actuation time, which are useful for the design of the PRHRS. The mass flow in the PRHRS has been affected by the height difference between the steam generators and the RHE. The pressure peak of the primary side and PRHRS has been affected by the valve action time.
