SSES-FSAR recombiners are located approximately midway between the pedestal and containment wall.

The suppression chamber recombiners both have structures located close to two. of the recombiner ports. Both recombiners have a 42 1-1/2 inch diameter diaphragm slab support column approximately feet from the suction, and a 24 inch beam approximately 6 inches from the 26 inch high discharge.

The hydrogen recombiner is a natural convection, flameless, thermal reactor-type hydrogen/oxygen recombiner. The initiation time for the recombiners is prior to 1.2 days, post-LOCA as shown in Figures 6.2-49, 6.2-50 and 6.2-51. The heat-up time is approximately 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. Therefore, recombiner heat-up will begin approximately 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> prior to operation. The recombiner heats a continuous stream of containment atmosphere to a temperature sufficient for recombination of the hydrogen and oxygen,to form water.

The recombination unit consists of an inlet preheater section, a heater-recombination section, and a mixing chamber. The air is drawn into the unit by natural convection via the inlet louvers and passes through the preheater section, which 'consists of a shroud placed around, the central heaters to take advantage of heat conduction through the walls. In this area the temperature of the inlet air is raised. This accomplishes the dual function of increasing the system efficiency and of evaporating any moisture droplets which may be entrained in the air. The warmed air then passes through the flow orifice which has been specifically sized to regulate the airflow through the unit.

After passing through the orifice plate, the air flows vertically upward through the heater section, where its temperature is raised to the range of 1150-1400 F, causing recombination of H2 and 02 to occur. The recombination temperature is approximately 1135~8. The heater section consists of five banks of electric heaters stacked vertically. Each bank contains 60 individual U-type heating elements.

Next, the air rises from the top of the heater section and flows into the mixing chamber, which is at the top of the unit. Here, the hot air is mixed with the cooler containment air to discharge it back into the containment at a lower temperature.

containment air enters the mixing chamber through the The cooler lower part of the upper louvers located on three sides of the unit."

Table 6.2-18 gives the design characteristics of the hydrogen iecombiner.

Ignition of combustible gases (hydrogen and oxygen) could result in significant containment pressure transients, leading to containment failure. This Will not occur if containment hydrogen concentration is maintained below 4%.

Therefore, start hydrogen recombiners at 3% concentration. Run drywell coolers in slow to avoid pockets with high hydrogen concentrations. Start both systems also after 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> has elapsed from receipt of LOCA signal to counteract buildup of combustible gas due to radiolysis.

These procedures account for 1.72 psig isolations. Initiate RPV depressurization and cooldown'in accordance with E0-200-102, RPV Control, performed concurrently with this procedure.

Use SBGT only if primary containment temperatures are below 212~F:

If temperature is above 212 F, steam may be admitted to containment. Continued use of SBGT would eventually reduce containment's non-condensible air mass and prevent using drywell sprays.

pc/p-e BEFORE DW OR SUPP CHAMBER PRESSURE REACHES 0 PSIG, TERMINATE PRESSURE REDUCTION This step becomes effective when read and remains effective until flowchart exited. It gives appropriate time to stop pressure reduction, whatever means employed (i.e. SBGT or sprays). Stop pressure reduction at this point to prevent containment failure on negative pressure.
