Liquid nitrogen emergency cooling system for nuclear plants

摘要

The Liquid Nitrogen Cooling System utilizes a continuously recharged, closed-loop system to: generate electricity; charge and pressurize hydraulic bypass and operational equipment; and, provide emergency cooling.;It is triggered by any need for emergency shutdown, applying liquid Nitrogen to cool a nuclear power plant, as an alternate cooling system independently from the regular cooling system, providing a sudden drop of temperature through a liquid Nitrogen manifold system.;No greenhouse or explosive gases are generated or released, and no Oxygen is used. Any Nitrogen vented to the atmosphere dissipates rapidly, assumes ambient temperature, and has no long half-life radioactive isotopes. It operates as a closed/static system until needed for cooling.;Applications include, but are not limited to, retrofitting to existing systems.
