Abstract

In a Korean Generation IV prototype sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), various types of high-temperature heat exchangers such as IHX (intermediate heat exchanger), DHX (decay heat exchanger), AHX (air heat exchanger), FHX (finned-tube sodium-to-air heat exchanger), and SG (steam generator) are to be designed and installed. In this study, the high-temperature design and integrity evaluation of the sodium-to-air heat exchanger AHX in the STELLA-1 (sodium integral effect test loop for safety simulation and assessment) test loop already installed at KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) and FHX in the SEFLA (sodium thermal-hydraulic experiment loop for finned-tube sodium-to-air heat exchanger) test loop to be installed at KAERI have been performed. Evaluations of creep-fatigue damage based on full 3D finite element analyses were conducted for the two heat exchangers according to the high-temperature design codes, and the integrity of the high-temperature design of the two heat exchangers was confirmed.

제 4 세대 소듐냉각 고속로에는 중간열교환기(IHX), 붕괴열제거 열교환기(DHX), 공기 열교환기(AHX), 핀형 소듐-공기 열교환기(FHX) 및 증기발생기(SG)를 포함한 다양한 열교환기들이 설치된다. 본 연구에서는 STELLA-1 시험루프에 설치된 소듐-공기 열교환기인 AHX 와 SELFA 시험루프에 설치될 핀형(finned) 소듐-공기 열교환기인 FHX 등 2 기의 열교환기 설계에 대해 3D 상세 유한요소해석을 수행하고, 동 결과에 기초하여 고온설계 기술기준을 따라 크리프-피로 손상평가를 수행하였다. 손상 평가결과 AHX와 FHX는 의도하는 크리프 피로 손상 하중 하에서 구조 건전성을 유지하는 것으로 확인되었다.
