Abstract
A cooling device for Stirling circulated dry storage container, which is mainly to make an accommodation space with opening within an external shield, and at the peripherals of the accommodation space, it is installed with a plurality of air flow inlets and air flow outlets that are connected to the external side. In addition, a shield cover is used to cover the opening of the accommodation space, and a nuclear waste storage container is installed within the accommodation space of the external shield, and the peripheral of the accommodation space and the nuclear waste storage container forms an air flow channel.
Claims9
A cooling device for Stirling circulated dry storage container comprising:
- an external shield installed with accommodation space having an opening in the top side, a plurality of air flow inlets connected to the external side being installed at the peripheral of the bottom of the accommodation space, and a plurality of air flow outlets connected to the external side being installed on the peripheral at the upper side of accommodation space, and a shield cover provided on the opening of the accommodation space;
- a nuclear waste storage container installed within the accommodation space of the external shield, and an air flow path for air circulation formed at the peripheral of the nuclear waste storage container;
- a Stirling heat engine installed within the accommodation space of the external shield in contact with the nuclear waste storage container;
- and
- a plurality of electrical fans installed at the peripheral of the Stirling heat engine, and heat dissipated by the nuclear waste storage container being received through the Stirling heat engine and dissipated by air flow generated by the electrical fans.
