[0057] Please refer to Figures 1-13 。

[0058] Some embodiments of this application disclose a method for disassembling and assembling a hot gas duct for maintenance of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant, including the following steps:

[0059] 1) Remove the cold helium gas riser 09 and elbow 20 inside the steam generator 05, and remove the main steam detachable pipe section 06 and the main feed water detachable pipe section 19 connected to the steam generator 05. As Figure 2 shown, separate the steam generator 05 from the cold helium gas riser 09 and elbow 20, and separate the steam generator 05 from the main steam detachable pipe section 06 and the main feed water detachable pipe section 19. This step is to remove the pipeline structure on the steam generator 05 that affects the movement of the steam generator 05. In step 1), the steam generator 05 still has a structure connected to the hot gas duct 04, and the steam generator 05 is not moved temporarily. At this time, a steam generator adjustment tooling for adjusting the position of the steam generator 05 can be connected to the steam generator 05. The steam generator adjustment tooling is used for the movement and installation adjustment of the steam generator 05;

[0060] 2) Disconnect the connection between the fourth hot gas duct section 13 and the third hot gas duct section 12 of the hot gas duct 04 and the connection between the steam generator 05 and the hot gas duct housing 03. At this time, the connection structure between the hot gas duct 04 and the hot gas duct housing 03 and the steam generator 05 is disconnected. As Figure 3 shown, move the steam generator 05 in the direction away from the reactor pressure vessel 01. Specifically, when it comes to the movement of the steam generator 05, it is preferred to move it through the steam generator adjustment tooling first. The movement of the steam generator 05 provides space for the disassembly and assembly of the hot gas duct 04. Since one side of the hot gas duct 04 connected to the steam generator 05 loses support, a temporary support structure, such as a cushion block, etc., needs to be set between the hot gas duct housing 03 and the second hot gas duct section 11 at the end of the hot gas duct 04 close to the steam generator 05;

[0061] 3) Disconnect the third hot gas duct section 12 of the hot gas duct 04 from the second hot gas duct section 11. Specifically, use a tooling or tool to remove the first connecting bolt used to connect the third hot gas duct section 12 and the second hot gas duct section 11, so that the third hot gas duct section 12 and the second hot gas duct section 11 are separated. At this time, the third hot gas duct section 12 is an independent structure and can move within the space vacated after the steam generator 05 moves. The third hot gas duct section 12 is separated from the hot gas duct 04, increasing the space for disassembly and assembly of the remaining structure of the hot gas duct 04 and reducing the difficulty of disassembling the remaining structure of the hot gas duct 04;

[0062] 4) Disconnect the hot gas duct housing 03 from the reactor pressure vessel 01. Specifically, use a special tool to remove the first main bolt 07 connecting the hot gas duct housing 03 and the reactor pressure vessel 01, and remove the temporary support structure between the hot gas duct housing 03 and the second hot gas duct section 11. At this time, the hot gas duct housing 03 can move between the reactor pressure vessel 01 and the moved steam generator 05 along the axis direction of the second hot gas duct section 11. As Figure 5 shown, when the hot gas duct housing 03 moves towards the steam generator 05, the second connecting bolt connecting the first branch pipe section and the second branch pipe section inside the second hot gas duct section 11, and the third connecting bolt connecting the second hot gas duct section 11 and the first hot gas duct section 10 will be exposed. It should be noted here that when removing the temporary support structure between the hot gas duct housing 03 and the second hot gas duct section 11, the second hot gas duct 11 can be lifted. The lifting position of the second hot gas duct 11 is close to the steam generator 05;

[0063] 5) Disconnect the second hot gas duct section 11 from the first hot gas duct section 10 of the hot gas duct 04. At this time, it is necessary to use a lifting tool to lift one end of the second hot gas duct section 11 close to the reactor pressure vessel 01. After disconnecting, temporary support structures need to be set between both ends of the second hot gas duct section 11 and the housing 03, and the lifting structures at both ends of the second hot gas duct section 11 need to be removed.

[0064] Specifically, to disconnect the connection structure between the second hot gas duct section 11 and the first hot gas duct section 10, use a tooling or tool to remove the third connecting bolt between the first hot gas duct section 10 and the second hot gas duct section 11. As Figure 7As shown, the separation of the reactor pressure vessel 01 from the hot gas duct housing 03 and the separation of the second hot gas duct section 11 from the first hot gas duct section 10 are achieved through steps 4) and 5). At this time, the second hot gas duct section 11 and the hot gas duct housing 03 form an independent structure, which is neither connected to the reactor pressure vessel 01 nor to the steam generator 05. The whole formed by the second hot gas duct section 11 and the hot gas duct housing 03 can move between the reactor pressure vessel 01 and the steam generator 05. It should be noted that the whole formed by the second hot gas duct section 11 and the hot gas duct housing 03 can move between the reactor pressure vessel 01 and the steam generator 05 can be a vertical movement or a movement along the axis direction of the second hot gas duct section 11;

[0065] Move the whole composed of the second hot gas duct section 11 and the hot gas duct housing 03 downward. The whole composed of the second hot gas duct section 11 and the hot gas duct housing 03 is arranged out of alignment relative to the first hot gas duct section 10. Specifically, move the whole composed of the second hot gas duct section 11 and the hot gas duct housing 03 toward the bottom of the steam generator compartment to provide space for the disassembly of the first hot gas duct section 10 and ensure that the first hot gas duct section 10 can be removed from the hot gas duct nozzle flange of the reactor pressure vessel 01, as Figure 8 shown.

[0066] Disconnect the connection between the first hot gas duct section 10 and the reactor core housing 02. Specifically, remove the fourth connection bolts used to connect the first hot gas duct section 10 and the reactor core housing 02 through a tooling or tool, as Figure 8 shown, and move the first hot gas duct section 10 out of the hot gas duct nozzle flange of the reactor pressure vessel 01;

[0067] 7) Connect the first hot gas duct section 10 and the reactor core housing 02, as Figure 9 shown. Specifically, connect the first hot gas duct section 10 and the reactor core housing 02 through new fourth connection bolts and spot weld them;

[0068] 8) Move the whole composed of the second hot gas duct section 11 and the hot gas duct housing 03 upward. Specifically, move the whole composed of the second hot gas duct section 11 and the housing 03 toward the top of the steam generator compartment.

[0069] Lift the second hot gas duct section 11 through a lifting structure and remove the temporary support structure between the two ends of the second hot gas duct section 11 and the hot gas duct housing 03. At this time, the second hot gas duct section 11 can move toward the reactor pressure vessel 01 inside the hot gas duct housing 03, as Figure 10As shown in the figure, connect the first hot gas duct section 10 and the second hot gas duct section 11. Specifically, remove the lifting structure on the side of the second hot gas duct section 11 close to the reactor pressure vessel 01, connect the first hot gas duct section 10 and the second hot gas duct section 11 through new third connecting bolts, and spot weld.

[0070] As Figure 11 shown in the figure, move the hot gas duct housing 03 towards the direction of the reactor pressure vessel 01, connect the hot gas duct housing 03 and the reactor pressure vessel 01, and connect the hot gas duct housing 03 and the reactor pressure vessel 01 through new or reusable first main bolts 07 after disassembly.

[0071] 9) Install a temporary support structure between the side of the second hot gas duct section 11 close to the steam generator 05 and the hot gas duct housing 03, remove the lifting structure on the side of the second hot gas duct section 11 close to the steam generator 05, connect the second hot gas duct section 11 and the third hot gas duct section 12. As Figure 12 shown in the figure, specifically, connect the second hot gas duct section 11 and the third hot gas duct section 12 through new first connecting bolts, and spot weld, and remove the temporary support structure between the side of the second hot gas duct section 11 close to the steam generator 05 and the hot gas duct housing 03.

[0072] 10) Move the steam generator 05 towards the direction close to the reactor pressure vessel 01, connect the steam generator 05 and the hot gas duct housing 03, and connect the fourth hot gas duct section 13 and the third hot gas duct section 12. The fourth hot gas duct section 13 and the third hot gas duct section 12 are connected through fifth connecting bolts.

[0073] 11) Connect the steam generator 05 with the cold helium riser 09 and the elbow 20, and connect the steam generator 05 with the main steam removable pipe section 06 and the main feed water removable pipe section 19.

[0074] Among them, in step 3) or step 9), replace the first sealing ring 17 between the third hot gas duct section 12 and the second hot gas duct section 11, and / or, repair the first connecting bolts between the third hot gas duct section 12 and the second hot gas duct section 11.

[0075] In step 5) or step 8), replace the second sealing ring 15 between the second hot gas duct section 11 and the first hot gas duct section 10, and / or, repair the third connecting bolts between the second hot gas duct section 11 and the first hot gas duct section 10.

[0076] In step 6), replace the third sealing ring 14 between the first hot gas duct section 10 and the core shell 02, and / or, repair the fourth connecting bolts between the third hot gas duct 10 and the core shell 2.

[0077] Replace the fourth sealing ring 18 between the fourth hot gas duct section 13 and the third hot gas duct section 12 in step 2) or step 10), and / or repair the fifth connecting bolt between the fourth hot gas duct section 13 and the third hot gas duct section 12.

[0078] Through steps 1)-6), the gradual disassembly of the hot gas duct 04, the steam generator 05, and the hot gas duct housing 03 is achieved, enabling the replacement of the sealing rings on the hot gas duct 04, the inspection and repair of the connecting bolts, and other maintenance work.

[0079] Through steps 7)-11), the connection of the hot gas duct 04, the steam generator 05, and the hot gas duct housing 03 is restored. The assembly directions disclosed in steps 7)-11) are opposite to the disassembly directions disclosed in steps 1)-6), enabling the replacement of the sealing rings, the inspection and repair of the connecting bolts, and other maintenance work.

[0080] Here, the disconnection is described. Taking the disconnection of the third hot gas duct section 12 and the second hot gas duct section 11 as an example, the disconnection is to remove the connection structure used to connect the third hot gas duct section 12 and the second hot gas duct section 11, which refers to the first connecting bolt here.

[0081] The disassembly and assembly method for maintaining the hot gas duct of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant disclosed in this application requires the disassembly of equipment including the hot gas duct 04, the hot gas duct housing 03, and the steam generator 05. Among them, the disassembled structures on the steam generator 05 include the cold helium lift pipe 09, the elbow 20, the main steam detachable pipe section 06, and the main feed water detachable pipe section 19. The disassembled structures on the hot gas duct 04 include the third hot gas duct section 12, the second hot gas duct section 11, the first hot gas duct section 10, the fourth hot gas duct section 13, the first sealing ring 17, the second sealing ring 15, the third sealing ring 14, the fourth sealing ring 18, the fifth sealing ring 16, the first main bolt 07, the second main bolt 08, the first connecting bolt, the second connecting bolt, the third connecting bolt, the fourth connecting bolt, and the fifth connecting bolt, etc.

[0082] As Figure 3 shown, the hot gas duct sections on the hot gas duct 04 are, from left to right, the first hot gas duct section 10, the second hot gas duct section 11, the third hot gas duct section 12, and the fourth hot gas duct section 13. The second hot gas duct section 11 includes, from left to right, the first branch pipe section and the second branch pipe section.

[0083] The disassembly and assembly method for maintaining the hot gas duct of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant disclosed in this application is used to guide the disassembly and assembly work of maintaining the hot gas duct of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant, facilitating the creation of conditions for replacing the sealing rings of the hot gas duct 04, inspecting and repairing the connecting bolts of each section of the hot gas duct 04, and other maintenance work.

[0084] The disassembly and assembly method for the hot gas duct in the maintenance of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant disclosed in this application utilizes the limited space inside the steam generator compartment of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor to disassemble and assemble the hot gas duct 04, realizing the replacement of the sealing ring of the hot gas duct 04, the inspection of the connecting bolts of each section, and other maintenance work. During disassembly and assembly, first, disconnect the connection between the fourth hot gas duct section 13 and the third hot gas duct section 12, and the connection between the steam generator 05 and the hot gas duct housing 03. Move the steam generator 05 in the direction away from the reactor pressure vessel 01 to provide space for the disassembly of the hot gas duct 04 and the hot gas duct housing 03. Then, the fourth hot gas duct section 13 is translated with the steam generator 05, the third hot gas duct section 12 is disassembled and assembled within the operating space vacated after the steam generator 05 is displaced, the hot gas duct housing 03 and the second hot gas duct section 11 are lifted and lowered synchronously, and the first hot gas duct section 10 is disassembled and assembled within the space vacated by the overall downward movement of the housing 03 and the second hot gas duct section 11. According to the length characteristics of each structure of the hot gas duct 04, this application reasonably arranges the disassembly and assembly steps to realize the disassembly and assembly between the reactor pressure vessel, the hot gas duct, the hot gas duct housing, and the steam generator, facilitating the replacement of the sealing ring of each hot gas duct section of the hot gas duct, the inspection of the connecting bolts, and other maintenance work.

[0085] In this application, the fourth hot gas duct section 13 cannot be disassembled from the steam generator 05, and only the third hot gas duct section 12 can be separated from the fourth hot gas duct section 13.

[0086] In some embodiments of this application, before disconnecting the connection between the second hot gas duct section 11 and the first hot gas duct section 10 in step 5), the following steps are further included: moving the hot gas duct housing 03 in the direction of the steam generator 05, disconnecting the connection between the first branch duct section and the second branch duct section inside the second hot gas duct section 11, replacing the fifth sealing ring 16 between the first branch duct section and the second branch duct section, and / or inspecting the second connecting bolt between the first branch duct section and the second branch duct section;

Specifically, by removing the second connection bolts used to connect the first branch duct section and the second branch duct section inside the second hot gas duct section 11, replace the fifth sealing ring 16;

[0097] Connect the first branch duct section and the second branch duct section through new second connection bolts. After replacing the fifth sealing ring 16, the first branch duct section and the second branch duct section are reassembled.

[0098] For the method steps of disassembling, assembling and overhauling the second hot gas duct section 11 disclosed in the above two embodiments, specifically which method to choose is selected by those skilled in the art according to actual needs and will not be specifically limited herein.

[0099] Step 3) further includes placing the third hot gas duct section 12 in the hot gas duct nozzle flange of the steam generator 05 or temporarily connecting the third hot gas duct section 12 to the fourth hot gas duct section 13.

[0100] Instead of removing the third hot gas duct section 12 from the device, the third hot gas duct section 13 can be directly placed inside the hot gas duct nozzle flange of the steam generator 05 or temporarily connected to the fourth hot gas duct section 13, which can prevent damage to the third hot gas duct section 12.

[0101] Temporary connection means a temporary connection. The strength of the temporary connection is weaker than the connection strength between the third hot gas duct section 12 and the hot gas duct nozzle flange or the fourth hot gas duct section 13, and the temporary connection is made using parts that are convenient for installation and disassembly.
