Abstract
The IHX (Intermediate Heat Exchanger) of a VHTR (Very High Temperature Reactor) transfers 950°C heat generated from the VHTR to a hydrogen production plant. The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has manufactured a 70 kW class lab-scale PCHE (Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger) prototype made of SUS316L under consideration as a candidate. In this study, as a part of a structural integrity evaluation of the lab-scale PCHE prototype, an elastic structural analysis including structural analysis modeling and a thermal/elastic structural analysis was carried out under the test conditions of a helium experimental loop (HELP). In addition, a structural integrity evaluation considering the weld material properties was conducted.
