Definitions

  • the invention relates to a water-cooled condenser, in which the condenser tubes made of titanium are rolled and / or welded at their ends in a tube sheet and in which the tube sheets are either welded to the condenser jacket or the water chamber jacket with a fillet weld or are screwed together by means of flanges.
  • the cladding For the welded construction, when using titanium tubes, the cladding must also consist of titanium for the reasons mentioned. However, due to the thermal stresses that occur, there is a risk - even if only slightly - of the plating becoming detached. Since this is completely unthinkable, especially in today's nuclear plants, which place extremely high demands on the purity of the feed water, the power plant operators demand completely safe solutions. As far as corrosion and tightness are concerned, only titanium tube sheets can be considered in addition to the titanium tubes.
  • the invention defined in the characterizing part of the claim is therefore based on the object water-cooled condenser of the type mentioned to create a connection of the tube sheet with the steel sheet of the condenser jacket or the water chamber jacket.
  • the invention thus makes it possible for the first time ever to use titanium tube sheets in welded constructions and to provide the critical point with an absolutely tight welded joint in flange constructions.
  • the tube sheet 4 is made of pure titanium. It is equipped with a large number of titanium tubes 5, which can either be rolled, welded in at their ends or both.
  • the fresh cooling water is conveyed from the first water chamber 7 into the second, opposite water chamber through these tubes, which form the actual cooling surface and which penetrate the entire length of the steam chamber 6 and are supported in support plates (not shown).
  • the steam to be condensed flows around the tubes in cross flow.
  • the inside of the capacitor jacket 1 is now provided with explosive-plated titanium 8 at the point at which the connection to the tube sheet 4 takes place. Because of the strength of the cladding, its axial extension (in relation to the tube axes) is larger than it would be according to the tube sheet thickness.
  • Explosive plating or explosive welding is a process that can be used to produce metal combinations that are not possible by fusion welding.
  • the titanium sheet is placed over the capacitor jacket to be coated at a small distance.
  • the explosives distributed on the titanium sheet are detonated on one side, followed by the detonation zone runs over the titanium at high speed and accelerates it onto the capacitor jacket. This creates very high pressures in the collision zone, which lead to flowing metal boundary layers and thus to large-area welding.
  • the tube sheet 4 is over its entire circumference by means of fillet welds 9, respectively. 10 welded to the cladding 8 and thus to the capacitor shell.
  • the new solution is more advantageous in that the feared rust efflorescence cannot occur even with leaky pipe connections.
  • the conventional downtime preservation is superfluous.
  • the rubber coating is much simpler than before, since the pipe base / shell connection point cannot be bridged.
  • the protective cover 3 is only pulled just over the slanted end of the cladding.
  • both the capacitor jacket 1 and the water chamber wall 2 are each with a welded flange l 'and. 2 'provided, between which the titanium tube sheet is screwed tightly by means of the screw connection 12 only indicated.
  • the protective cover 3 is included in the flange.
  • explosively plated titanium 8 ' is arranged here on the sealing surface of the flange 1'.
  • the cladding is completely sealed with a condenser shell with a weld 9 'after the tube sheets have been installed.
  • the flange 1 ' is provided with a recess 11 in the zone of the sealing weld.
  • the steam chamber is thus secured both against air ingress and against cooling water, which could seep in through a possibly leaking protective cover 3 and the screw holes.
  • Concerns that explosive plating could come off are irrelevant in this version, because the plating is only subjected to pressure due to the screw connection.
