For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0031] For high-temperature gas-cooled reactor steam generators, accelerated corrosion from feedwater flow leads to pipe corrosion and high iron concentration. Increasing the dissolved oxygen concentration in the feedwater can, to some extent, inhibit accelerated corrosion. Using an oxidizing total volatile treatment method (AVT(O)) or an oxygenation treatment method (OT) can alter the structure and morphology of the oxide film on the metal surface, making the oxide film more robust and dense, slowing down or even preventing accelerated corrosion from feedwater flow, and reducing the migration and deposition of corrosion products. The superheated section of the heat transfer tubes in the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor steam generator uses Incoloy 800H heat-resistant alloy material. During the start-up and shutdown of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, the Incoloy 800H heat-resistant alloy material is in the liquid phase. During this stage, the feedwater cannot be treated using AVT(O) or OT; a suitable feedwater treatment method must be selected based on the operating conditions of the steam generator. During shutdown, as the unit load decreases, the superheated section of the steam generator will transition from the steam phase to the water phase. Salt deposited on the tube walls dissolves in the water, causing salt re-dissolution and leading to an increase in localized salt concentration in the water. To inhibit corrosion of the steam generator during shutdown, the feedwater treatment method needs to be adjusted. Based on these considerations, this application proposes a feedwater treatment method for a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor steam generator.

[0032] like Figure 1 A specific embodiment of the feedwater treatment method for the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor steam generator shown includes the following steps:

[0033] S1. During the secondary loop flushing process before the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor starts up, the feedwater of the steam generator is treated using a first reducing and volatile treatment method. Specifically, the first reducing and volatile treatment method involves adding ammonia and hydrazine to the feedwater of the steam generator. Under this method, the pH range of the feedwater is 9.3–9.8, and the concentration of hydrazine is ≥100 μg / L.

[0034] S2, in the process of increasing power in the start-up stage of the high temperature gas cooled reactor, the feed water of the steam generator is treated by using a second reducing full evaporation treatment mode. Specifically, the second reducing full evaporation treatment mode refers to adding ammonia water and hydrazine into the feed water of the steam generator to adjust the water quality of the feed water and reduce the dosage of hydrazine; under the second reducing full evaporation treatment mode, the pH of the feed water of the steam generator ranges from 9.6 to 9.8, the concentration of hydrazine ranges from 30 μg / L to 100 μg / L, and the dissolved oxygen concentration of the feed water of the steam generator is ≤3 μg / L; the hydrogen conductivity of the feed water of the steam generator at 25 degrees Celsius is ≤0.15 μS / cm, the concentration of chloride ions, the concentration of sulfate ions, the concentration of copper and the concentration of sodium in the feed water of the steam generator are all ≤2 μg / L, the concentration of silicon dioxide and the concentration of iron in the feed water of the steam generator are both ≤5 μg / L, and the TOC concentration of the feed water of the steam generator is ≤100 μg / L.

[0035] S3, when the high temperature gas cooled reactor is in stable operation and the two-phase flow transition on the secondary side of the steam generator is completed, the feed water of the steam generator is treated by using an oxidizing full evaporation treatment mode. Specifically, the oxidizing full evaporation treatment mode refers to adding only ammonia water into the feed water of the steam generator and stopping adding hydrazine; under the oxidizing full evaporation treatment mode, the pH of the feed water of the steam generator ranges from 9.3 to 9.8, and the dissolved oxygen concentration of the feed water of the steam generator is ≤10 μg / L.

[0036] S4, when the high temperature gas cooled reactor is in stable operation and the hydrogen conductivity of the feed water reaches 0.10 μS / cm and shows a downward trend, the feed water of the steam generator is treated by using an oxygen adding treatment mode to increase the dissolved oxygen content of the feed water. Specifically, the oxygen adding treatment mode refers to adding ammonia water and oxygen into the feed water of the steam generator; compared with steps S1, S2 and S3, the concentration of added ammonia water is reduced. Under the oxygen adding treatment mode, the pH of the feed water of the steam generator ranges from 9.0 to 9.3, and the dissolved oxygen concentration of the feed water of the steam generator ranges from 10 μg / L to 30 μg / L.

[0037] S5, in the process of stopping operation and reducing power of the high temperature gas cooled reactor and before the two-phase flow on the secondary side of the steam generator, the oxygen adding is stopped, the feed water of the steam generator is treated by using the second reducing full evaporation treatment mode, and the concentration of added ammonia water is increased.

[0038] S6, in the shutdown stage of the high temperature gas cooled reactor, and after the two-phase flow transition into liquid phase is completed on the secondary side of the steam generator, a third reducing full volatilization treatment method is used to treat the feed water of the steam generator. Specifically, the third reducing full volatilization treatment method refers to adding ammonia water and hydrazine into the feed water of the steam generator; and increasing the concentration of the ammonia water and hydrazine. Under the third reducing full volatilization treatment method, the pH of the feed water of the steam generator ranges from 9.6 to 10, and the concentration of the hydrazine is greater than or equal to 100 μg / L.

[0039] S7, in the non-planned shutdown stage of the high temperature gas cooled reactor, oxygen addition is immediately stopped, hydrazine and ammonia water are added into the feed water of the steam generator, and the concentration of the ammonia water is increased. Specifically, the pH of the feed water of the steam generator is greater than or equal to 9.6, and the concentration of the hydrazine is greater than or equal to 100 μg / L.

[0040] Specifically, in the first reducing full volatilization treatment method, the second reducing full volatilization treatment method, the oxidizing full volatilization treatment method and the third reducing full volatilization treatment method, the feed water in the downcomer of the deaerator is treated; in the oxygen addition treatment method, oxygen is added into the downcomer of the deaerator and the high pressure heater side, and the deaerator is connected with the steam generator of the high temperature gas cooled reactor.

[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those skilled in the art. Here, all the embodiments do not need to be exhausted, and the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
