Abstract
A vortex valve, called fluidic device, is to be installed inside a Safety Injection Tank (SIT) of Advanced Power Reactor 1400 MWe (APR1400) that passively controls an Emergency Core Cooling (ECC) water discharge flow rate without any moving part or any action of the plant operator. The fluidic device was designed, and its performance was evaluated by a series of repetitive experiments using VAlve Performance Evaluation Rig (VAPER), a prototypical full-scale test facility. The passive flow controlling SIT satisfied the major performance requirements of the APR1400 plant design, in view of peak discharge flow rate, pressure loss coefficient, and duration time of the ECC water discharge.
