Abstract

The evolution of the safety philosophy in the last 30 years leaded to the introduction of the so called passive safety systems. Such examples are the so called emergency condensers. Chapter 12 gives first a simple mathematical illustration of the operation of the system. Then the performance of the condenser as a function of the water level and pressure are analyzed with the methods introduced with this monograph. The important question of the condensate removal is discussed.
