Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water sample recovery technology, specifically a device for measuring dissolved hydrogen in generator cooling water and returning water samples. Background Technology
[0002] In the experiment of measuring dissolved hydrogen in generator cooling water, after the monitoring device measures the water sample, the destination of the water sample generally falls into the following categories:
[0003] (1) After the water sample is measured, it is directly discharged into the ditch. The disadvantage of this method is that it wastes pure water and causes the water level in the tank to drop. If the water is not replenished in time, it may cause the unit to stop unexpectedly.
[0004] (2) If the monitoring equipment is higher than the generator cooling water tank, the water sample after measurement is not easy to flow back to the tank. When the cooling water tank is replenished, the gas and water sample in the tank will be sprayed onto the monitoring equipment and the ground through the recovery pipe.
[0005] (3) The monitoring equipment is lower than the generator's cooling water tank, and the drainage from the monitoring equipment cannot return to the tank by relying on the height difference.
[0006] (4) The water sample measured by the monitoring device is directly pumped into the constant cooling water tank. This method makes it difficult to control the pump flow rate. When the pump flow rate is less than the drainage flow rate of the monitoring device, the monitoring device will leak. When the pump flow rate is greater than the drainage flow rate of the monitoring device, a large amount of air will enter the constant cooling water tank. The carbon dioxide in the air will seriously affect the water quality of the constant cooling water and cause corrosion of the generator rods.
[0007] In summary, there is an urgent need for a generator-cooled water dissolved hydrogen measurement water sample return device to realize water sample recovery. Utility Model Content
