In High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) of 30MW, the generated heat at reactor core is finally dissipated at the air-cooler by way of the heat exchangers of the primary pressurized water cooler and the intermediate heat exchanger. To remove generated heat at reactor core and to hold reactor inlet coolant temperature to specified temperature, heat exchangers in main cooling system of HTTR should have designed heat exchange performance. In this report, heat exchange performance for ACL in main cooling system is evaluated with previous operation data, and evaluated values are compared with designed value. Moreover, heat exchange performance at full power operation is estimated for the air temperature. As the result, ACL has heat exchange performance removing generated heat at reactor core under the designe ACL inlet air temperature of 33C.

In high temperature engineering test reactor (HTTR) of 30 MW, the generated heat at reactor core is finally dissipated at the air-cooler (ACL) by way of the heat exchangers of the primary pressurized water cooler (PPWC) and the intermediate heat exchanger (IHX). Therefore, air temperature (secondary-side condition at ACL) is important factor for the heat removal capability of the reactor. Coping with the air temperature, stable reactor inlet temperature control is achieved by adjusting of ACL coolant temperature with coolant (pressurized water and air) flow rate. ACL heat removal characteristic was based on the previous operation data in rise-to-power test and in-service operation at HTTR. And evaluate heat removal capability at summertime air temperature as the most severe condition was estimated. As the result, it was confirmed that the rated power of 30 MW can be removed at the condition of summertime air-temperature.
