Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of instrument calibration technology, specifically to a test device and method for measuring and calibrating the liquid level channel of a storage tank. Background Technology
[0002] Nuclear power plant evaporator tanks are equipped with multiple level gauges with wide and narrow ranges to monitor their liquid levels. Before being put into use, these level gauges need to be calibrated to ensure that their accuracy is within the design requirements. In the nuclear power field, this is called the nuclear power plant evaporator level channel measurement calibration test.
[0003] The calibration process for the narrow-range level gauge 100 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, a temporary four-way valve is welded. Except for the inlet and free ends, the number of ports on the four-way valve corresponds to the number of narrow-range level gauges. Before the test, these ports are connected to the corresponding balance tank 400 (connected to the low-level end of the corresponding narrow-range gauge) via hoses. Water is pumped into the inlet of the four-way valve using a hand pump to replenish water and vent air from the balance tank 400 of the level gauge, ensuring the liquid level in each balance tank 400 is maintained at its midline (the midline is connected to the evaporator's storage tank 200 via a pipe, with excess water entering the evaporator's storage tank). This ensures the accuracy of the low-pressure side of the narrow-range gauges, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of subsequent calibration tests. After replenishing water and venting air from the balance tank 400, these ports are then connected to the high-level end of the corresponding narrow-range gauge via hoses. Water is pumped into the inlet of the four-way valve using a hand pump, and the free end of the four-way valve is manually raised until the water level reaches the specified level of the evaporator's storage tank. Then, the instrument calibration is performed. That is, by pulling the hose to a pre-set liquid level to simulate the evaporator liquid level, the instrument reading is recorded and compared with the theoretical value to determine the correctness of the instrument channel.
[0004] The above-mentioned test scheme has the following technical problems: the hoses are all fixed by binding, which often leads to water leakage. During the test, additional personnel need to climb up and down to check and repair the leaks, causing operators to have to climb up and down the evaporator pit repeatedly. If water leakage occurs during the replenishment and venting of the balance tank 400 before the test, it is necessary to repeatedly check for the leak and replenish and vent. If the reading deviation is large during the calibration test, it is difficult to determine in time whether the leakage is caused by the positive or negative pressure side pipeline. The lack of necessary monitoring and troubleshooting methods results in low test efficiency, a harsh test environment, inconvenient personnel activity space, high physical exertion, and significant safety risks. In addition, the hand pump requires constant monitoring of the water level in the hand pump tank and timely replenishment of water. The operation of the hand pump is prone to causing air bubbles in the hose. The generation of air bubbles directly affects the accuracy and precision of the test data, causing the test results to fail to meet the acceptance requirements, thus requiring additional venting work. Summary of the Invention

Then it is determined that the water level in the balance tank is maintained on its midline.
[0037] In step S3, water from the calibration tank is pumped into the high-pressure side of the level gauge to be calibrated until the water level in the calibration hose is level with the elevation of the upper source point of the storage tank.

Install the calibration ruler on the vertical wall so that the elevation point of the upper and lower sampling points of the tank on the vertical wall is located between the minimum and maximum reading lines of the calibration ruler. Based on the elevation points of the upper and lower sampling points of the tank on the vertical wall and the scale of the calibration ruler, find the various liquid level test elevation points of the tank on the calibration ruler.

Additionally, another quick-connector is installed on the outlet pipe at the lower end of the calibration tank to connect to the calibration hose. The test apparatus is connected by a fixed pipe, and both the balance tank and the calibration tank are connected to a pneumatic device. The unique loop pipeline design of the above-mentioned test apparatus can realize the functions of airtightness inspection of relevant instrument pipelines before testing, water filling of the balance tank, calibration, real-time rapid monitoring of leakage, and isolation of leakage pipelines. In addition, the water tank filled with water is inflated by the pneumatic device, so that the water in the tank is filled into the negative pressure side or positive pressure side of the corresponding instrument, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that air bubbles are easily generated when using a hand pump to directly pump water in the existing method.

[0053] This invention provides a calibration test device for measuring the liquid level channel of a storage tank, comprising: a balance water tank, a calibration water tank, and a calibration hose.

Furthermore, by using a pneumatic device to inflate the water tank, the water in the tank is filled into the corresponding instrument's negative or positive pressure side, thus avoiding the phenomenon of air bubbles easily generated when using a hand pump to directly pump water in existing methods.
[0075] The specific implementation process of each of the above functions is described below:

[0081] 2) Balance tank filling function: Add water to the balance tank 1, start the air pressure device 8, and pressurize the water in the balance tank 1 into the balance tank 400 connected to the low-pressure side of the level gauge 100 to be calibrated. After the water level in the balance tank 400 is maintained at the midline, turn off the air pressure device 8. Check the pipeline connected to the low-pressure side of the level gauge 100 to be calibrated and the first quick connector 13. If a leak is detected, repair the leak.
[0082] 3) Calibration function: Add water to the calibration water tank 2, connect one end of the calibration hose 4 to the third quick connector 24, and lift the other end of the calibration hose 4. Activate the air pressure device 8 to pressurize the water in the calibration water tank 2 to the high-pressure side of the level gauge 100 to be calibrated, until the water level in the calibration hose 4 is level with the center line of the balance tank 400 connected to the level gauge 100 to be calibrated. Then close the air pressure device 8 and check the zero-point display of the level gauge 100 to be calibrated. Check if it is correct and record it; sequentially lower the hose until the water level line of the water body inside is level with the various liquid level test elevation points of the storage tank 200, and check whether the corresponding display of the liquid level instrument 100 to be calibrated is correct, and record it; after turning off the air pressure device 8, it also includes: checking the pipeline connecting the high pressure side of the liquid level instrument 100 to be calibrated to the second quick connector 23. If a leak is detected, interrupt the calibration test and repair the leak. After the leak is repaired, continue the calibration test.
[0083] 4) Real-time and rapid monitoring of leaks and the ability to isolate leaking pipelines:
[0084] The pipeline connecting the low-pressure side of the level gauge 100 to the first quick connector 13 is inspected. If a leak is detected, it is repaired, including:
[0085] Observe the reading of the first pressure / level gauge 12. If the reading decreases, close each of the first quick connectors 13 in sequence. If the reading of the first pressure / level gauge 12 stops decreasing or the rate of decrease slows down after one or more of the first quick connectors 13 are closed, repair the leaks in the pipelines connected to the low-pressure side of the corresponding level instrument 100 to be calibrated.
[0086] The pipeline connecting the high-pressure side of the level gauge 100 to the second quick connector 23 is inspected. If a leak is detected, it is repaired, including:
[0087] Observe the reading of the second pressure / level gauge 22. If the reading decreases, close each of the second quick connectors 23 in sequence. If the reading of the second pressure / level gauge 22 stops decreasing or the rate of decrease slows down after one or more of the second quick connectors 23 are closed, repair any leaks in the pipelines connected to the high-pressure side of the corresponding level instrument 100 to be calibrated by the one or more second quick connectors 23.
[0088] In summary, the independent positive and negative pressure pipelines and pressure / level instruments enable real-time and rapid monitoring of leaks. Quick-connect couplings are used to connect or isolate each pipeline, allowing for individual isolation of leaks detected during testing and separate water replenishment after leak repair, thereby improving testing efficiency and eliminating the need to re-water and vent all pipelines.
[0089] In this embodiment, the first water outlet pipe 11 is also provided with a fourth quick connector 14, which is used to connect with the connection end of the calibration hose 4. When the connection end of the calibration hose 4 is connected with the fourth quick connector 14, its free end can be lifted or lowered under the action of external force until the water level of the water body inside is level with the elevation of the upper source point of the storage tank 200.
[0090] Thus, the water level in the balance tank 400 can be simulated to be maintained at its midline through the fourth quick connector 14 and the calibration hose 4. That is, when water in the balance tank 1 is pumped into the balance tank 400, which is connected to the low-pressure side of the level gauge 100 to be calibrated, until the water level in the calibration hose 4 is level with the elevation of the upper source point of the storage tank 200, it is considered that the water level in the balance tank 400 is maintained at its midline.
[0091] In this embodiment, the first water outlet pipe 11 is also provided with a first water outlet valve 15, and the second water outlet pipe 21 is also provided with a second water outlet valve 25.
[0092] In this embodiment, a water replenishment tank 3 is also included. The water replenishment tank 3 is connected to the air pressure device 8. The balance water tank 1 and the calibration water tank 2 are respectively connected to the water replenishment tank 3. A first water replenishment valve 18 is provided on the pipeline connecting the balance water tank 1 and the water replenishment tank 3. A second water replenishment valve 28 is provided on the pipeline connecting the calibration water tank 2 and the water replenishment tank 3. A water replenishment port is provided at the upper end of the water replenishment tank 3, and a cover 9 is provided to open or close the water replenishment port; and / or,
[0093] The upper end of the balance tank 400 water tank and the instrument calibration water tank 2 is also provided with a water inlet and a cover 9 for opening or closing the water inlet.
[0094] Water tank 3 is used to store backup water so that it can be temporarily replenished when the liquid level in other water tanks is too low during the test.
[0095] This experimental setup is designed to replenish water to the balance tank 1 and the calibration tank 2 in two ways: one is to use the air pressure device 8 to pressurize the water in the replenishment tank 3 into the balance tank 1 and the calibration tank 2, and the other is to replenish water directly through the water inlet.
[0096] In this embodiment, the balance water tank 1, the calibration water tank 2, and the replenishment water tank 3 are all mounted on a mobile trolley 5 to facilitate the transportation of the aforementioned replenishment calibration mechanism.
[0097] In this embodiment, the upper end of the balance water tank 1 is provided with a first air inlet pipe 16 for connecting to the air pressure device 8, and a first air inlet valve 17 is provided on the first air inlet pipe 16.
[0098] The upper end of the calibration water tank 2 is provided with a second air inlet pipe 26 for connecting to the air pressure device 8, and a second air inlet valve 27 is provided on the second air inlet pipe 26;
[0099] The upper end of the water tank 3 is provided with a third air inlet pipe 31 for connecting to the air pressure device 8, and a third air inlet valve 32 is provided on the third air inlet pipe 31.
[0100] The air pressure device 8 and each air inlet valve are doubly redundant to prevent excessive pressure from damaging the liquid level gauge.
[0101] In addition, existing tests for calibrating tank level channels have the following problems:
[0102] The evaporator is located in an evaporator compartment. During the test, the compartment has a lot of scaffolding, which restricts the space for personnel to move around and makes it inconvenient to move. Before the test, a tape measure needs to be hung on a platform at a high position on the evaporator to measure the liquid level in the tubing. A weight is also hung at the lower end of the tape measure to ensure that the tape measure hangs down. However, due to the environment of the evaporator compartment, it is not possible to set the tape measure efficiently and quickly. On the other hand, the tape measure inevitably has a tilt deviation, which leads to errors in reading the liquid level in the tubing. In addition, the evaporator tank is more than 20m high, and the tubing, which is more than 10 meters high, is very heavy. During the test, multiple people need to work together to pull the tubing close to the pre-set tape measure to a specific height in order to observe and record the liquid level in the tubing. The test is physically demanding and there are safety risks associated with working at height.
[0103] As shown in Figure 4, the test apparatus in this embodiment further includes a local liquid level indicating mechanism. The local liquid level indicating mechanism includes a calibration component and a measurement component. The measurement component is located on the storage tank 200 or connected between the storage tank 200 and the vertical wall 300 near the storage tank 200. It is used to measure the elevation of the upper and lower sampling points of the storage tank 200 to the vertical wall 300. The calibration component includes a calibration ruler 6 and a pulley 7. Both the calibration ruler 6 and the pulley 7 are used to be installed on the vertical wall 300. The free end of the calibration tubing 4 passes around the pulley 7. The elevation point of the upper and lower sampling points of the storage tank 200 measured to the vertical wall 300 is located between the minimum reading scale line and the maximum reading scale line of the calibration ruler 6.
[0104] Therefore, by elevating the source point elevation to a conveniently located vertical wall near the outside of the evaporator compartment, the existing methods of setting plumb lines and vertical measuring tapes within the evaporator compartment are integrated into a local liquid level indicator mechanism. This eliminates the inconvenience caused by the surrounding environment of the evaporator layout to the measurement of test readings. The pulley design facilitates the lifting of the hose to change the liquid level height within it, and the reading and hose-pulling operations can be combined into one person's work. Thus, this invention enables convenient operation and reading of the hose liquid level, solving the safety risks of climbing up and down the evaporator pit in existing methods, and the optimized operation significantly improves the accuracy of the readings.
[0105] In this embodiment,
[0106] The elevation measurement assembly includes an upper laser locator and a lower laser locator. The upper laser locator is installed at the position on the storage tank 200 corresponding to the upper elevation point, and is used to transfer the elevation of the upper elevation point of the storage tank 200 to the vertical wall 300. The lower laser locator is installed at the position on the storage tank 200 corresponding to the lower elevation point, and is used to transfer the elevation of the lower elevation point of the storage tank 200 to the vertical wall 300; or,
[0107] The elevation measurement assembly includes an upper connector and a lower connector. One end of the upper connector is connected to the water inlet pipe corresponding to the upper source point of the storage tank 200, and the other end is installed on the vertical wall 300. The upper connector is used to measure the elevation of the upper source point of the storage tank 200 to the vertical wall 300. One end of the lower connector is connected to the water inlet pipe corresponding to the lower source point of the storage tank 200, and the other end is installed on the vertical wall 300. The lower connector is used to measure the elevation of the lower source point of the storage tank 200 to the vertical wall 300.

[0116] S3: Add water to the calibration water tank 2, connect one end of the calibration hose 4 to the third quick connector 24, and lift the other end of the calibration hose 4. Activate the air pressure device 8 to pressurize the water in the calibration water tank 2 to the high-pressure side of the level gauge 100 to be calibrated, until the water level in the calibration hose 4 is level with the center line of the balance tank 400 connected to the level gauge 100 to be calibrated. Then close the air pressure device 8 and check if the zero-point display of the level gauge 100 to be calibrated is correct. Confirm and record; sequentially lower the hose until the water level line of the water body inside is level with each liquid level test elevation point of the storage tank 200, and check whether the corresponding display of the liquid level instrument 100 to be calibrated is correct, and record; after closing the air pressure device 8, it also includes: inspecting the pipeline connecting the high pressure side of the liquid level instrument 100 to be calibrated to the second quick connector 23.

That is, the gauge is vented while water is pumped to ensure that there is no air in the gauge line.
