Description

Technical Field

[0002] The cooling water system of nuclear power plant equipment is the final heat sink of nuclear-grade equipment. The secondary filter of nuclear power plant condenser is an important part of the cooling water system of nuclear power plant equipment. Its pipe diameter is generally greater than DN1000mm, the material is austenitic stainless steel, the anti-corrosion type is anodic protection, and the conveying fluid medium is seawater. When the filter material comes into contact with seawater, there is a certain potential difference between the various parts of the filter material surface, which is very prone to electrochemical corrosion, posing a great hidden danger to the safe and reliable operation of the equipment.

[0003] In order to extend the service life of the filter and its accessories in seawater, the electrochemical corrosion is slowed down by installing anode blocks. At present, the anode blocks are installed by fixing them with brackets inside the filter. When replacing the anode blocks in this installation method, it is necessary to open a manhole on the filter or remove the valve to allow personnel to enter the filter for operation. The construction space is closed, and there are industrial safety risks such as flooding, lack of oxygen, and poor construction environment.
