Description

From heat exchanger, take out the method and apparatus of section of a pipe and the application of this method and apparatus
The present invention relates to take out from heat exchanger the method for section of a pipe, the end of this pipe is crimped on the tube sheet.The present invention specifically is applied to take out the pipe of one section pressurized-water reactor steam generator, so that detect a position of this pipe.
The heat exchanger for example steam generator of pressurized-water reactor generally comprises the very thick tube sheet that passes pipe, the flush of its inlet face of formation of this tube-to-tube sheet connection, and protrude from the opposite side of tube sheet, the exit surface of this tube sheet defines the sub section of steam generator, and this part receives treats vaporized water supply.The inlet surface of tube sheet constitutes the upper wall of water tank divided into two parts, and this water tank transmits and be recovered in the also pressure (hydraulic) water of carrier band heat that circulates in the pipe of steam generator tube bank, and this heat is used for the heating and the above-mentioned water supply of gasifying.Its upper end is that every pipe of the steam generator of bending has first straight-tube portion and second straight sections, and expose in the part of water tank the former end, and expose at another part of water tank the latter's a end.
The steam generator pipe that forms tube bank is crimped in the hole of the suitable diameter that passes tube sheet, and in fact this crimping passes the whole thickness of tube sheet.The crimping pipe is with Pi Geer tube rolling method tube wall to be crimped on the hole wall in the tube sheet in tube sheet, so on the wall of each pipe on the exit surface side of tube sheet, have transition region between the deformation part of pipe and non-deformations are divided.
Stress in this transition region of pipe is concentrated significantly the other parts greater than pipe, thus at this regional pipe no matter be its inner surface that contacts with the pressure cooling water of nuclear reactor or with outer surface that water supply contacts on the local corrosion that all increased.
When the steam generator of shutdown maintenance nuclear reactor, the essential pipe of checking is to determine the corrosion resistance of this transition region after using a period of time.This inspection particularly has under the situation of damage finding in transition region, needs to take out the section of a pipe that comprises transition region.
This taking-up only is positioned at zone to be detected when carrying out this taking-up the pipe does not take place to be only when deformation does not change with its state significant.
In addition, the part that damage is arranged that is usually located at transition region of pipe has crackle, and circumference crackle particularly is so main danger is tube brakes when taking out pipe from steam generator, even in some cases, have to abandon the taking-up of pipe because crackle is bigger.
Among the FR-A-2591744 and FR-A-2638014 by the proposition of Framatome company, proposed with the method for adhesives a sleeve to be fixed in the pipe, this sleeve covers cracked zone.This sleeve must be fixed on the sleeve pipe in the both sides of cracked zone, and the traction bridge sleeve of damage zone of joining two pipes together then is from the pipe sleeve pipe of choosing.Can take out section of a pipe thus and not at the infringement zone of pipe stress application.
But clearly, the tractive force that the method by the bonding sleeve of adhesive applies is limited, and this can not carry out the draw operations of some segment of tube.In addition, this method of adhesive strength of the adhesion zone of sleeve is very insecure relatively.Carrying out this method also needs complicated apparatus, and takes out for making that sleeve is in place also to need very long operation cleverly.
Proposed to use the taking-up instrument, this instrument comprises the sleeve pipe with vertical slit in the end of tubular wand, and this slit separates some some engagement fingers that have tooth on its whole outer surface.Installation has diameter and amplifies a kind of bar that the end comprises the end of pulled surface, and it can be slided in the tubular rod with engagement finger.Drive link is installed slidably can be made the engagement finger separately, thereby the toothed portion that has of finger is engaged on the metal of tube wall.On the tubular wand of instrument, apply tractive force then, thereby pull out and take out pipe.
Take out pipe and drive the engagement pincers because used very long rigid rod, so this withdrawing device is difficult to be used in the water tank of steam generator.This device is difficult to be used for taking out the intrafascicular peripheral tube of steam generator tube especially.
In addition, extraction device can not make the crackle of pipe partly be removed and do not apply the stress that has the infringement effect on this section pipe, thereby can not detect the part of damage with this part
In fact, taking out under the situation that the crackle part is arranged of pipe, the pipe utmost point has the danger of breaking, thereby must abandon the taking-up of this section pipe in a lot of situations.
Therefore the method that the purpose of this invention is to provide one section heat exchanger tube of a kind of taking-up, the end of this pipe is crimped in the tube sheet, method of the present invention can be used for taking out the pipe that is positioned at the intrafascicular any zone of steam generator tube, and this method can be extracted the section of a pipe of for example crackle with damage out, and when extracting out, on this section pipe, do not apply big stress.
