The invention discloses passive containment cooling
system. The passive containment cooling
system comprises a high-position material exchanging
water pool used for storing cooling water, an
evaporator, an
air cooling tower, a plurality of pipes, and a
refrigerant, wherein a containment is equipped with a vault; a
reactor pressure vessel o is located in the vault; the high-position material exchanging
water pool is positioned in the containment and above the vault, and is communicated with the vault through an isolating valve; the
evaporator is positioned in the vault; the
air cooling tower is positioned outside the containment and is higher than the vault, the pipes are connected between the outlet of the
evaporator and the inlet in the upper end of the
air cooling tower, and between the outlet in the lower end of the air
cooling tower and the inlet of the evaporator; the
refrigerant flows in a circulation channel formed among the evaporator, the air
cooling tower and the pipes. The passive containment cooling
system can realize the function of exporting
waste heat of the containment in case of an accident without relying on an external power supply, so as to increase the stability of the system and also the safety of the
nuclear power station.
