Abstract

Self-substained oscillations and limiting heat fluxes have been found in heat removal systems employing heat transfer fluid boiling inside tubes with vapor and liquid heating of vapor-generating tubes. The aim of the study was to investigate, both experimentally and theoretically, the limiting fluxes and self-sustaining oscillation modes. The experiments were carried out on three experimental units manufactured as closed natural convection loops. Water, ammonia, and freons were used as a boiling agent. The experimental results were processed by using similarity theory methods. Recommendations are made for the design of low-pressure heat release systems with boiling intercycle heat transfer liquid.
