摘要：
Considering the importance of safety features in the development of Generation IV nuclear reactors, an innovative and passive decay heat removal system (DHRS) has been proposed for liquid metal cooled reactors. The attention is here focused on the direct heat exchanger (DHX) of the system constituted by a bayonet tube that allows to remove the decay heat from the primary coolant; both primary and secondary fluids flow in natural circulation. Since each bayonet tube is equipped with a vacuum gap, the most important heat transfer mechanism characterizing the DHX is radiation. Furthermore, the presence of the vacuum gap guarantees a physical separation and a complete decoupling between primary and secondary fluids, enhancing the safety features of the whole system. Several CFD analyses have been carried out in order to obtain a characterization of the DHX both for sodium and lead cooled fast reactors, in order to optimize the DHX geometry on the basis of the specific application, and the results are discussed in the paper.
