Experiment and calculation of the heat loss power of molten salt natural circulation loop
A molten salt natural circulation experimental loop was developed to study characteristics of the molten salt natural circulation and support the design of passive safety systems of advanced molten salt reactors.
Purpose:
2
The heat loss of the loop may affect the molten-salt natural circulation profoundly
thus
it is necessary to quantify the heat loss.
Methods:
2
A series of heat loss experiments were conducted on the salt storage tank of the natural circulation loop and the heat losses were also calculated using numerical methods. Based on the measured and calculated results
we obtained the relations between the power of the heat loss and the temperature and the cooling time.
Results:
2
It was found that the calculated values of the power of the heat loss were in good agreement with the measured ones. The difference is within 10% for all temperatures concerned.
Conclusion:
2
The thermal insulation design of the molten salt natural circulation experimental loop limits the heat loss successfully. An intrusive heating device
though widely adopted
may become a major heat loss channel when not in use
and lead to the molten salt temperature stratification.
