Karakterisasi Prototipe Heater Element System pada Untai Uji RCCS-RDNK menggunakan Kamera Infra Merah

Abstract

ABSTRAKReactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS) adalah salah satu sistem keselamatan pada Reaktor Daya Non Komersial (RDNK). Untuk mensimulasikan keadaaan tersebut, dibuat prototype Heater Element System (HES) yang merupakan sistem pemanas listrik dan berfungsi untuk memberikan kalor pada simulator dinding RPV (wall) seperti pada acuan RPV tipe HTGR. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk memperoleh karakteristik temperatur selama pemanasan prototype HES hingga mencapai temperature 400°C berdasarkan posisi vertikal dan horizontal HES. Metode pengamatan dilakukan dengan menggunakan kamera infra merah NEC tipe TH9100ML sebagai alat ukur temperatur dan alat visualisasi ditribusi temperatur. Hasil pengamatan menunjukkan, bahwa kehilangan kalor pada prototipe HES pada posisi vertikal lebih kecil dibandingankan pada posisi horizontal hal ini disebabkan karena luas permukaan pada posisi horizontal sebesar 7,260 cm2 lebih memungkinkan untuk kehilangan kalor lebih besar. Posisi vertikal temperatur yang dicapai pada wall prototipe HES lebih tinggi dibandingkan pada posisi horizontal.Kata Kunci: RCCS, Heater Element System, kamera infra merah, temperatur ABSTRACTReactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS) is one of the safety systems in Non-Commercial Power Reactors (RDNK). To simulate this situation, a prototype Heater Element System (HES) was made using electric heating system as a heat sources and it serves to provide radiation heat to the RPV wall simulator as the reference of the RPV of HTGR type. The purpose of this study was to obtain the temperature characteristics during the heating of the HES prototype to reach temperatures of 400°C base on HES position, horizontal and vertical positions. The observation method was carried out using a TH9100ML infrared camera NEC type as a temperature measurement and a temperature distribution base on visualization. The observations show that the heat loss in the HES prototype in the vertical position is smaller than in the horizontal position because this is because the surface area in the horizontal position 7.260 cm2 is more likely to lose more heat. The vertical position the temperature achieved on the HES prototype wall is higher than in the horizontal position.Keywords: RCCS, Heater Element System, infrared camera, temperature

Investigation of Heat Exchanger Performance in The Heating Tank Section of Loop FASSIP 03 NT

“…The research entitled Characterization of the Prototype Heater Element System on the RCCS-RDNK Test Loop used an Infrared Camera, whereas this research used 25 kW cable wire as an electric heater. To reach a temperature of 200 ℃ on the wall surface of the Heater Element System prototype in the vertical position takes 10 minutes and in the horizontal position takes less than 20 minutes [20]. The study used the FASSIP-01 Mod.…”
