How coolant flow is maintained in the event of loss of power to the PHT system?

1 Answer

Answer :

When the PHT power fails, it takes two minutes for DG to come to full power. The circulation is maintained by flywheel, which increases the de-acceleration and maintains the flow for two minutes. If there is a station blackout the flow is maintained by thermo-symphoning by which more denser cold water comes down and less denser hot water goes up by convection method.
