  2. Pre-ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-ignition

    An engine that is running hotter than normal due to a cooling system problem (low coolant level, slipping fan clutch, inoperative electric cooling fan or other cooling system problem) Auto-ignition of engine oil droplets (Can be solved by using an oil catch tank) [3] Insufficient oil in the engine; Ignition timing too far advanced

    Additionally, if reactor water level cannot be maintained with high-pressure coolant systems alone, the depressurization system can reduce reactor pressure to a level at which the low-pressure coolant systems can function. Low-pressure systems: These systems are designed to function after the depressurization systems function.

  4. Nuclear reactor safety system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reactor_safety_system

    The High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) System consists of a pump or pumps that have sufficient pressure to inject coolant into the reactor vessel while it is pressurized. It is designed to monitor the level of coolant in the reactor vessel and automatically inject coolant when the level drops below a threshold.

  5. Pressurizer (nuclear power) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressurizer_(nuclear_power)

    Since the reactor coolant system is completely flooded during normal operations, there is no point in monitoring coolant level in any of the other vessels. But early awareness of a reduction of coolant level (or a loss of coolant) is important to the safety of the reactor core. The pressurizer is deliberately located high in the reactor ...

  6. Antifreeze - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze

    The low coolant is caused by pressure caps that fail in the open position. (The new caps and recovery bottles were introduced at the same time as DEX-COOL). This exposes hot engine components to air and vapors, causing corrosion and contamination of the coolant with iron oxide particles, which in turn can aggravate the pressure cap problem as ...

  7. Void coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Void_coefficient

    If the coolant is a liquid, it may boil if the temperature inside the reactor rises. This boiling leads to voids inside the reactor. Voids may also form if coolant is lost from the reactor in some sort of accident (called a loss of coolant accident, which has other dangers). Some reactors operate with the coolant in a constant state of boiling ...
