摘要

为了提高核电站的安全性能，在不同的实验条件下，研究了静电除尘器（esp）减少放射性气溶胶和氢排放的性能。以碘化铯为模型气溶胶，评价了气体气氛、湿度、流速和温度对颗粒特性和过滤效率的影响。结果表明，实验室ESP的最大颗粒质量过滤效率超过90%，工业ESP的最大颗粒质量过滤效率超过99.5%。然而，工业ESP的颗粒数量浓度不同，突出显示了大颗粒的有效去除，这些大颗粒起到了凝结槽的作用，使高浓度的新形成的超细颗粒持续存在于系统中。氢气缓解实验显示，在典型操作条件下，esp对氢气浓度没有可测量的影响，证实了其在现行核电站协议中的安全性。该研究强调了颗粒特性、载气成分和ESP设计在决定过滤效率方面的关键作用，强调需要进一步研究反应器特定条件，以优化ESP性能并增强源项减少策略。

Performance of dry electrostatic precipitator for the removal of CsI aerosol particles under simulated severe nuclear accident conditions

The performance of electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) in reducing the emission of radioactive aerosols and hydrogen was investigated under varying experimental conditions to improve the safety features of nuclear power plants (NPPs). The effects of gaseous atmosphere, humidity, flow rate, and temperature on particle properties and filtration efficiency were evaluated using caesium iodide as a model aerosol. The results indicate that the ESP achieved a maximum particle mass filtration efficiency of over 90 % for the lab-scale ESP and more than 99.5 % for the industrial ESP. However, the particle number concentration varied with the industrial ESP, highlighting effective removal of larger particles that acted as a condensation sink, allowing higher concentrations of newly formed ultrafine particles to persist in the system. Hydrogen mitigation experiments revealed no measurable impact of ESPs on hydrogen concentrations under typical operating conditions, confirming their safety within current NPP protocols. The study highlights the crucial role of particle properties, carrier gas composition, and ESP design in determining filtration efficiency, emphasising the need for further research on reactor-specific conditions to optimise ESP performance and enhance source term reduction strategies.
