CONTAINED FLARE SYSTEM FOR POST LOSS-OF-COOLANT ACCIDENT MITIGATION

摘要

A method for controlling hydrogen combustion at LOCA includes opening a valve to allow a first primary containment gas to flow; Extracting a second secondary containment gas through the flame arrester; Combusting the first containment gas and the second containment gas in an isolated detonation zone; Cooling the combusted first containment gas and the second containment gas by a thermoelectric element; And cooling the non-combustible oxidant rich product gas mixture through the second flame arrester. A water cooled nuclear reactor containment flare system includes an intake flame protector and an exhaust flame protector disposed within the housing to contain the detonation of the first primary containment gas and the second secondary containment gas into the housing.
