Description

However, during the application process of liquid lead-bismuth alloy as coolant, the structural material will be corroded to generate corrosion impurities in the coolant. These impurity particles will flow with the coolant in the cooling system, which will cause influences such as blocking the pipeline, increasing the pressure drop, reducing the heat transfer coefficient, and even damaging the normal operation of the cooling system, so special attention needs to be paid in actual application.

[0003] At present, the impurity hazard in the lead-bismuth alloy cooling system has been recognized at home and abroad, and various methods for controlling the content of impurities in the coolant have been proposed. The filtering and purifying method is an effective means to remove impurity particles. Although the reactor with water or liquid sodium metal as coolant is also provided with a purification system, a filter is used to purify the coolant, but the physical and chemical properties of liquid lead-bismuth alloy are quite different from those of water and liquid sodium metal, so the types and properties of the impurities generated therein are different from those generated in other coolants. Therefore, the existing purification and filtering system in the reactor cannot be used for filtering and purifying the liquid lead-bismuth alloy coolant. At the same time, the filter applied in the pool type reactor needs to meet the conditions of in-pile arrangement, long-term operation, replacement with the refueling period, etc. At present, there is still lack of a filter with high temperature resistance, lead-bismuth corrosion resistance, long service life, etc., which meets the requirements of small and compact filtering device and filtering method in the reactor.

[0052] Step S2, passing the branch pipe 40 from the sealing cover 20 of the reactor vessel 10 and arranging it on the fixed assembly;

[0053] Step S3, passing the filtering assembly 50 from the sealing cover 20 and arranging it in the branch pipe 40 of the fixed assembly;

[0054] S4: the main channel works, the coolant enters from the first liquid inlet 33 of the main channel 31, and is output to the second liquid inlet 53 of the main channel 31 through the main channel 31, and then enters the branch pipe 40, and is filtered through the filtering assembly 50 in the branch pipe 40, and is output through the third liquid outlet 59, and then enters the main channel 31 through the first liquid inlet 33 again.

After being filtered by the filter assembly located in the branch pipeline, the coolant is output through the third outlet and then enters the main channel again through the first inlet.

7. The filtration method for a lead-bismuth cooled pool reactor according to claim 6, characterized in that, Step S3 further includes the following steps: When the reactor is running normally, the control module controls the flow limiting unit (57) to reduce the flow. When the flow detection unit detects that the flow reaches the specified percentage X% of the flow in the main channel (31), the flow detection unit sends a signal to the control module, and the control module controls the flow limiting unit (57) to stop operating. As the filter element (52) captures more corrosive impurities, the flow rate of the filter assembly (50) decreases. The flow detection unit inside the filter assembly (50) detects the decrease in flow rate and feeds the signal back to the control module. The control module controls the flow limiting unit (57) to slowly increase the flow rate until the flow rate of the branch pipe (40) recovers to a specified proportion X% of the flow rate of the main channel (31). When the reactor generates a large amount of corrosion impurities due to certain circumstances, the control module controls the flow limiting unit (57) to increase to more than 50%, and controls the flow rate of the branch pipeline (40) to reach more than 10% of the flow rate of the main channel (31); When the flow limiting unit (57) is opened to 50%, the flow detection unit detects that the flow rate of the branch pipe (40) drops to less than half of the specified percentage X% of the flow rate of the main channel (31), and sends a feedback signal to the control module, which then issues a filter replacement alarm (52).
