After the steam is converted in the steam conversion equipment system, it is transported to the Lianyungang Petrochemical Industrial Base for industrial production. The main function of the energy station evaporator and superheater system is to use the heat of the main steam in the evaporator to heat and evaporate the industrial feed water, realize heat exchange, and produce industrial steam that meets the user's required parameters. The function of the deaerator is to heat the feed water and remove the oxygen and other non-condensable gases contained in the feed water, and store enough water to buffer when the evaporator feed water demand does not match the deaerator feed water inlet for a short time.

During the commissioning and start-up and shutdown of the nuclear power plant energy station, in order to prevent the water in the positive pressure side balance container tank and instrument pipeline of the level gauge from evaporating due to slight negative pressure and other reasons, it is necessary to replenish water to the positive pressure side balance container tank and instrument pipeline of the level gauge in time to ensure that the important parameters related to the protection and control of various instruments in the energy station can be displayed normally. These instruments are used to monitor the evaporator tube side and shell side liquid level and deaerator liquid level, etc. However, the current instrument pressure pipeline is not designed with a water replenishment pipeline and a water replenishment interface, and it is impossible to realize the water replenishment operation during load operation; during the shutdown period, water can only be poured from the positive pressure side condenser tank plug, and there are problems such as the sealing plug is not restored strictly and the bubbles in the instrument tube cannot be removed.
