Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fretting wear technology, and more particularly to a method for evaluating foreign matter wear on the secondary side of a steam generator. Background Technology
[0002] The steam generator is one of the most important main pieces of equipment in a nuclear power plant's nuclear island, serving as the heat exchange hub between the primary and secondary loops. Its structural integrity and flow heat transfer characteristics are crucial for the safe and economical operation of the nuclear power plant. Domestic and international operational experience shows that foreign matter problems on the secondary side of the steam generator are among its major defects. In some units, leaks in the heat transfer tubes due to foreign matter have led to shutdowns and reactor failures, posing a significant threat to the reliability of the steam generator and creating a major hidden danger to the safe and reliable operation of the nuclear power plant.
[0003] Currently, our understanding of the movement patterns of foreign objects and their potential impact on heat transfer tube defects and their evolution is insufficient. The mechanism of secondary-side foreign object wear on heat transfer tubes is unclear, and there is no unified understanding or criterion for assessing the wear risk of secondary-side foreign objects on heat transfer tubes. The material and structure of foreign objects and the randomness of secondary-side flow pulsation are also significant, and no systematic summary has been made. Therefore, there is currently no rapid, mature, and usable assessment method for secondary-side foreign object wear, making it impossible to accurately assess the hazards of secondary-side foreign objects in steam generators, which seriously affects the safe operation and low-cost maintenance of nuclear power plant steam generators.
[0004] The movement of foreign objects on the secondary side between heat transfer tubes involves multiple physical processes, including heat transfer, flow, friction, and impact. The size, shape, location, and fretting of these foreign objects exhibit significant randomness, making the problem extremely complex. Therefore, it is urgent to conduct research on the assessment of wear caused by secondary side foreign objects on heat transfer tubes, and to develop wear assessment methods. This will provide theoretical support for improving the procedures for handling secondary side foreign objects in steam generators, and is of great significance to the safe operation of steam generators.
