Abstract

The utilization of nuclear power brings out a lot of benefits in fulfilling human power needs, however, the thermal incident caused by the failure of an active cooling system because of an earthquake followed by the tsunami such as on the Nuclear Power Plant at Fukushima Dai-Ichi Japan could be taken for lesson learn to keep improve nuclear installation operation safety aspects. Loop heat pipe (LHP) as an alternative cooling system technology could be utilized to handle thermal problems on nuclear installations. This research aims to know the influence of the inclination angle and heat load on the LHP thermal performance. The experimental investigation was performed with varying the inclination angle of 0°, 2.5°, and 5°, and heat load given at 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, and 90°C. LHP was used demineralized water working fluid with a 100% filling ratio. LHP was vacuumed on 2.666,4 Pa. The cooling air velocity in the condenser given by 2,5 m/s. The result of this experiment showed that LHP has the best thermal performance with the lowest thermal resistance of 0.0043°C/W. This result was obtained when the LHP operated with a 5° inclination angle and hot water as the heat load of 90°C. The conclusion from this research is showing better LHP thermal performance as the inclination angle increase on LHP because the steam speed that formed bigger, and condensate flows back to the evaporator faster

Abstract

The severe accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan in 2011 highlighted the critical need for a passive cooling system to dissipate residual decay heat following the failure of active cooling systems in the nuclear facility. The loop heat pipe (LHP) is a promising technology for such applications. The objective of this research is to understand the natural circulation stability phenomena of new LHP model under varying conditions of filling ratio and heat load. The experimental methodology employed a laboratory-scale LHP model made of copper with an inner diameter of 0.104 m. The experiments were designed with filling ratios of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%, and hot water temperature as the evaporator heat source with variations of 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, and 90°C. The initial operating pressure was 10665.6 Pa, with a 5˚ inclination angle, demineralized water as the working fluid, and cooled by air at a velocity of 2.5 m/s. The results show that the natural circulation within the LHP occurs in two phases and maintained stability, with optimal performance observed at an 80% filling ratio and 90°C. The conclusion of this research indicates that natural circulation stability in the LHP operates well and occurs in two phases, proving that natural circulation in the LHP is effective in heat dissipation.
