Abstract
Description
- The present invention generally relates to nuclear power plants, and more particularly, relates to a vertical type steam generator of a pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant and loosing part capturing device therefor.
- Steam generator is the hub of the primary and secondary circuits of the nuclear power plant, which is used to transfer the heat generated by the reactor to the secondary side to generate steam, and transport the steam to the steam turbine to drive the generator to generate electricity.
- The pressure boundary of primary side of the steam generator includes a lower head, a pipe plate and a pipe bundle, wherein the lower head is divided into an inlet water chamber and an outlet water chamber by a separating plate, and the reactor coolant enters through an inlet connecting pipe located on the lower head of the steam generator, flows through the U-shaped heat transfer pipe, and then flows out through the outlet connecting pipeon the lower head.
- The pressure boundary of the secondary side of the steam generator includes the pipe plate, the lower cylinder, the conical cylinder, the upper cylinder and the upper head. The water enters the steam generator via the water supply pipe, enters the water supply ring pipe after passing through the water supply pipe, and is sprayed via the nozzles on the water supply ring pipe. After mixed with the saturated water seperated from the steam and water separating device, the water flows into an annular descending channel between the pipe bundle sleeve and the housing, and reaches the secondary side surface of the pipe plate. The water enters the pipe bundle through the gap between the lower end of the sleeve and the secondary side surface of the pipe plate, and the water is heated as it rises through the pipe bundle, and part of the water turns into steam, thereby forming a steam-water mixture. After the steam-water mixture flows out of the top of the pipe bundle, it enters the steam and water separator for coarse separation, enters the dryer for fine separation, and finally outputs dry saturated steam.
- Heat transfer pipes of the steam generator constitute the pressure-bearing boundary between the primary and secondary sides, and undertake the function of isolating the radioactive substances of the primary circuit coolant of the reactor. The heat transfer pipe is a seamless steel tube with a wall thickness of about 1mm. The integrity of the heat transfer pipe must be guaranteed to prevent the heat transfer pipe from breaking and leaking and causing serious contamination of the secondary circuit system.
- It is well known that, loosening parts entering the steam generator via the water supply system can cause damage to the heat transfer pipes. The loosening parts vary in size and can enter the steam generator via the J-shaped pipe or spray head on the water supply ring pipe. Under the action of the fluid, the loosening parts enter the descending channel and contact the heat transfer pipes via the opening between the bottom of the pipe bundle sleeve and the pipe sheet, thereby forming dents or continuous impact marks on the surface of the heat transfer pipes. Loosening parts smaller than the gap of the heat transfer pipes may enter the inside of the pipe bundle and stay in the relative stagnation area of the fluid. The remaining loosening parts move with high frequency and small amplitude under the micro-force of the fluid, causing fretting wear on the heat transfer pipes, thereby resulting in reduction of thickness of the pipe wall. Impact dents and fretting wear can, in severe cases, cause heat transfer pipes to rupture, causing unplanned shutdowns of nuclear power plants that require costly repairs. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a device to prevent foreign loosening parts from entering the steam generator and to prevent the entered loosening parts from migrating to the pipe bundle.
- At present, the conventional devices for preventing foreign matter from entering the steam generator mainly adopt the screening method, i.e., setting a small diameter J-shaped pipe or an I-shaped pipe with spray holes on the water supply ring pipe. When the size of foreign matter is larger than the inner diameter of the J-shaped pipe or the diameter of the spray hole, it can be intercepted in the water supply pipe. However, foreign objects smaller than the inner diameter of the J-shaped pipe or the diameter of the spray hole can still pass through and enter the steam generator. The loosening parts, such as metal strips, welding rods and metal sheets, may still threat the integrity of the heat transfer pipe.
- In view of the foregoing, what is needed therefore is to provide a reliable vertical type steam generator of the pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant and a loosening part capturing device thereof, which can collect the loosening parts entering the steam generator through the water supply ring pipe during the commissioning and operation of the nuclear power plant, prevent the loosening parts from entering the pipe bundle area, and improve the working environment of the heat transfer pipe.

seperating plate 19 divides the interior of thelower head 17 into a first chamber 20 and a second chamber 21, forming a pipe header of an inverted U-shaped pipe. The first chamber 20 is the primary side fluid inlet chamber, which is connected to the inlet connecting pipe 22. The second chamber 21 is the primary side fluid outlet chamber, which is connected to the outlet connecting pipe 23. Therefore, the primary side coolant of the reactor enters the first chamber 20 from the inlet connecting pipe 22, enters the second chamber 21 through the pipes of the invertedU-shaped pipe bundle 11, and flows out of thesteam generator 10 through the outlet connecting pipe 23. - A
sleeve 30 is provided on the periphery of thepipe bundle 11. Thesleeve 30, thelower cylinder 15 and theconical cylinder 14 form anannular channel 31. The top of thesleeve 30 is provided with asludge collector 50. Thesludge collector 50 is provided with a set ofholes 40. Theholes 40 are correspondingly connected to a set of steam and waterseparator rising cylinder 41, and the risingcylinders 41 are provided withrotary blades 42. The steam-water two-phase mixture generated by the boiling inside thesleeve 30 flows through theholes 40 on thesleeve top cover 32 and enters the risingcylinder 41. Spiral centrifugal motion of the steam-water occurs under the action of therotary blades 42. The steam and water separate under the action of the centrifugal force. The separated water re-enters the pool above thesludge collector 50. The wet steam separated by the primary separator continues to flow upward through thedryer 60 for separation and drying again, and the steam after secondary separation flows out of thesteam generator 10 through thecurrent limiter 90 arranged in the center of the upper dish-shapedhead 12. - The
water supply pipe 70 includes a water supplyring pipe assembly 71 and athermowell assembly 72. The water supplyring pipe assembly 71 is located above thethermowell assembly 71, to reduce the thermal stratification effect of the fluid in the pipe. The water supplyring pipe assembly 71 has an approximately circular structure and is horizontally arranged inside thesteam generator 10. Thewater supply nozzles 73 are welded on the water supplyring pipe assembly 71, and the number of theholes 40 and thenozzles 73 is calculated and determined according to the flow rate of the main water supply. Thenozzle 73 is provided with a large number of nozzle holes, and the diameter of the nozzle holes is 5-9 mm. - Under normal operation and normal operation transient conditions of the
steam generator 10, the water level in thesteam generator 10 needs to ensure that the water supply outlet is submerged. The main water supply of thesteam generator 10 enters thefluid channel 71a in the water supplyring pipe assembly 71 from thefluid channel 72a in thethermowell assembly 72, and flows into thesteam generator 10 through thefluid channel 73a inside the nozzle. At the same time, due to the small diameter of the opening of the nozzle, the foreign matter entering the water supply can be intercepted by the opening, and the foreign matter larger than the inner diameter of the opening of the nozzle will not enter thesteam generator 10. The main water supply entering the steam generator10 via the water supply ring is mixed with the recycled water separated by the separator and the dryer and enters theannular channel 31, enters thepipe bundle 11 through theopening 33 at the bottom of thesleeve 30, and generates steam by heating and boiling. - Referring to
Fig. 2 , which is a schematic structural diagram of asludge collector collector 50. Thetop plate 51 of thesludge collector 50 is provided with a large number ofsmall center holes 51a in the central area, smallcircumferential holes 51b in the peripheral peripheral area, and a nunber of steam and waterseparator rising cylinders 41. The recirculated water separated from the steam-water separator enters the outer space of the risingcylinder 41 of the steam-water separator, and most of the recirculated water is mixed with the water supply from thewater supply pipe 70 and enters theannular channel 31. The fluid flow velocity of theannular channel 31 is relatively large, the fluid flow velocity above thesleeve top cover 32 is relatively slow, and there is a pressure difference between the central region and the peripheral circumferential region of thetop plate 51. The existence of the above-mentioned pressure difference causes a part of the recirculating water to enter thesludge collector 50 from thesmall center holes 51a in the central region of thetop plate 51, and flow out from the smallcircumferential holes 51b in the peripheral peripheral region. Inside thesludge collector 50, the recirculating water flows radially from the center in the direction of increasing radius, and the fluid velocity gradually decreases, so that the sludge particles suspended in the recirculating water are deposited on the inside surface of thesludge collector 50, thereby realizing passive deposition of the sludge. - Capturing enclosing
plates 80 are provided between every adjacent steam and waterseparator rising cylinders 41 located on the periphery. Thecapturing enclosing plate 80 is welded on thetop plate 51, and two ends of thecapturing enclosing plate 80 are welded on the outer surface of the steam and water separator rising cylinders 41 (other fastening methods can be used, such as screw connection or riveting). In this way, the steam and waterseparator rising cylinders 41 and thecapturing enclosing plate 80 on the periphery of thesteam generator 10 are jointly enclosed around the outer periphery of thetop plate 51 of thesludge collector 50. One end of thecapturing enclosing plate 80 afar from thetop plate 51 is provided with afolding plate 81 extending toward the center of the top cover of thesludge collector 50. In other embodiments of the present invention, an arc transition may also be provided between thefolding plate 81 and thecapturing enclosing plate 80, and the arc transition has a transition radius of 5-25mm. - Referring to
Fig. 3 , which is a schematic structural diagram of the loosening parts capturing device. The loosening parts capturing device is set up on the top plate of thesludge collector 50, and includes acapturing enclosing plate 80 and afolding plate 81 connected thereto. Thefolding plate 81 extends toward the center of thetop plate 51 of thesludge collector 50. Thecapturing enclosing plate 80 is located inside thecircumferential holes 51b of thetop plate 51 of thesludge collector 50. Therefore, the setting of thecapturing enclosing plate 80 does not affect the pressure difference between thecentral area 51a and the peripheralperipheral area 51b of thetop plate 51, and does not affect normal functioning of thesludge collector 50. - Compared with the prior art, the vertical type steam generator of a pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant and loosing part capturing device therefor of the present invention has the following advantages:
The radius of a projection of thecapturing enclosing plate 80 and thefolding plate 81 on thetop plate 51 is larger than a radius of a projection of a water supply loop spray pipe or a J-shaped pipe of thesteam generator 10. Since the fluid velocity in the center of the pool above thesludge collector 50 is relatively small, when foreign matter (such as metal rods, welding rods, and metal sheets) having a size smaller than the inner diameter of the J-shaped pipe or the diameter of the spray hole, enters thesteam generator 10, the foreign matter either settles on thetop plate 51 under the action of gravity or captured by thecapturing enclosing plate 80 and thefolding plate 81 before migrating to the annular channel31. - During the refueling period, the water on the secondary side of the
steam generator 10 will be emptied, and thecapturing enclosing plate 80 and thefolding plate 81 can capture the loosening parts on thetop plate 51, to prevent the loosening parts from migrating into theannular channel 31 under the action of fluid. When thesteam generator 10 is emptied, the water in the area enclosed by thecapturing enclosing plate 80 and thefolding plate 81 can be emptied through thesmall center holes 51a in the central area of thetop plate 51 of thesludge collector 50, which will not affect the operation of thetop plate 51 of thesludge collector 50. When water is poured into theempty steam generator 10, thecapturing enclosing plate 80 and thefolding plate 81 can capture the loosening parts on thetop plate 51, to prevent the loosening parts from migrating into theannular channel 31 under the action of the fluid. - The above described embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
