New application of micro-turbine: nuclear emergency cooling

摘要

A micro-turbine can offer a high availability, a compact design, a reliable operation, an easy maintenance, great fuel flexibility, low dynamic forces and fewer moving parts (usually only one moving assembly). The old-fashion emergency diesel engine generators and battery systems have been used for decades in critical emergency units such as nuclear emergency cooling systems. They seem unreliable and unsuitable for modern facilities. The modern micro-turbine technology is proposed as a reliable, lightweight and compact solution for emergency power supply applications. New application of the micro-turbines for the nuclear facility emergency cooling system is explained.
