Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nuclear reactors, and in particular to a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor helium purification monitoring system and a start-stop and helium purification regeneration judgment method. Background Art

[0002] High-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) nuclear power plants, as a fourth-generation nuclear power technology, use helium as the primary coolant. The moisture content of helium is crucial to the safe and stable operation of HTGR units. Specifically, moisture easily reacts chemically with the carbon components in HTGRs at high temperatures, affecting their strength and the reactor's safety. High moisture content, resulting in high humidity, can easily lead to uneven core temperature distribution, seriously impacting the reactor's stable operation. High moisture content in the primary circuit can easily degrade the electrical insulation performance of the primary circuit's main helium blower motor cavity, increasing the risk of equipment damage.

[0003] Therefore, a primary helium purification system is used to purify and remove impurities such as moisture. After a period of operation, the primary helium purification system needs to be regenerated. However, since the regeneration cycle of the molecular sieve bed of the primary helium purification system is determined based on the operating time of the existing primary helium, it is easy to cause the primary helium gas to exceed the moisture and other impurities standard or over-regenerate the helium purification system, significantly increasing costs.

[0046] like Figure 1A specific embodiment of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor helium purification monitoring system is shown, which is suitable for monitoring a primary-loop helium purification system. The primary-loop helium purification system includes: a dust filter 1, a copper oxide bed 2, a molecular sieve bed 3, and a cryogenic adsorber 4 connected in sequence. The dust filter 1 and the cryogenic adsorber 4 are both connected to the primary loop of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor 5. The dust filter 1 is used to filter solid particles in the helium output from the primary loop of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor 5; the copper oxide bed 2 is used to remove hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and oxygen impurities in the helium; the molecular sieve bed 3 is used to adsorb water and carbon dioxide in the helium; and the cryogenic adsorber 4 is used to adsorb impurities such as nitrogen, methane, and inert gases in the helium before returning the purified helium to the primary loop of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor 5.

[0047] The high temperature gas-cooled reactor helium purification monitoring system includes: a humidity monitoring module 6, a first monitoring module 7, a second monitoring module 8, a third monitoring module 9 and a gas chromatograph.

[0048] The humidity monitoring module 6 is composed of multiple humidity monitoring probes dispersed within the HTGR 5. These probes are suitable for obtaining dew point temperature. At least half of these probes are primary helium humidity monitoring probes, which are suitable for obtaining the dew point temperature of the helium gas in the primary helium purification system within the HTGR. Humidity is expressed in terms of dew point temperature. Specifically, there are four humidity monitoring probes. The gas chromatograph is suitable for obtaining the hydrogen content within the HTGR 5. Specifically, gas is extracted from each monitoring point and fed into the gas chromatograph for hydrogen content analysis.

[0049] The first monitoring module 7 is disposed on the pipeline connecting the dust filter 1 and the copper oxide bed 2; the first monitoring module 7 is composed of a first moisture concentration monitoring unit, a first gas tritium concentration monitoring unit, and a first liquid tritium concentration monitoring unit; the first moisture concentration monitoring unit is suitable for obtaining moisture concentration, the first gas tritium concentration monitoring unit is suitable for obtaining gas tritium concentration, and the first liquid tritium concentration monitoring unit is suitable for obtaining liquid tritium concentration. The second monitoring module 8 is disposed on the pipeline connecting the copper oxide bed 2 and the molecular sieve bed 3; the second monitoring module 8 is composed of a second moisture concentration monitoring unit, a second gas tritium concentration monitoring unit, and a second liquid tritium concentration monitoring unit; the second moisture concentration monitoring unit is suitable for obtaining moisture concentration, the second gas tritium concentration monitoring unit is suitable for obtaining gas tritium concentration, and the second liquid tritium concentration monitoring unit is suitable for obtaining liquid tritium concentration. The third monitoring module 9 is disposed on the pipeline connecting the molecular sieve bed 3 and the cryogenic adsorber 4; the third monitoring module 9 is composed of a third moisture concentration monitoring unit, a third gas tritium concentration monitoring unit, and a third liquid tritium concentration monitoring unit; the third moisture concentration monitoring unit is suitable for obtaining moisture concentration, the third gas tritium concentration monitoring unit is suitable for obtaining gas tritium concentration, and the third liquid tritium concentration monitoring unit is suitable for obtaining liquid tritium concentration. Specifically, the first moisture concentration monitoring unit, the second moisture concentration monitoring unit, and the third moisture concentration monitoring unit all use the silicon wafer method to perform trace analysis of moisture, specifically, extracting gas from each monitoring point and sending it to a silicon wafer water analyzer for trace analysis.

[0050] The present invention also provides a method for determining whether a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor should be started or stopped, and the method uses the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor helium purification monitoring system, comprising:

[0051] Before the high temperature gas-cooled reactor 5 is started for the first time or before resuming operation after overhaul, when the moisture concentration value obtained by the first moisture concentration monitoring unit is not greater than the set concentration value and satisfies formula (1), the high temperature gas-cooled reactor 5 is started;

[0052] a / b≤c (1)

[0053] Where a is the moisture concentration value obtained by the third moisture concentration monitoring unit, b is the moisture concentration value obtained by the second moisture concentration monitoring unit, and c is the set first percentage. Specifically, the set concentration value is 2 ppm; the first percentage c is 10%. The above startup determination of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor 5 is performed because air containing moisture is likely to have entered the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor 5 before the initial startup or resumption of operation after overhaul. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the frequency of moisture concentration acquisition by the first, second, and third moisture concentration monitoring units in advance.

[0054] During the operation of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor 5, when the dew point temperature obtained by the main helium humidity monitoring probe is ≥35°C, it is indicated that the heat transfer pipe connected to the primary helium purification system may be broken, triggering the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor 5 to stop working and the reactor protection signal to be activated; before the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor 5 is restarted, when the moisture concentration value obtained by the first moisture concentration monitoring unit is not greater than the set concentration value, the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor 5 is started; otherwise, the primary helium purification system is used to circulate and purify the helium in the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor 5 to ensure that the moisture in the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor 5 meets the operation requirements.

[0055] During the operation of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor 5, if the moisture concentration value obtained by the first moisture concentration monitoring unit exceeds the set control concentration value, the frequency of the first moisture concentration monitoring unit obtaining moisture concentration is increased, and the cause of the increased moisture concentration is investigated. At the same time, the helium gas in the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor 5 is purified within a set time by increasing the flow rate of the primary helium purification system or connecting multiple primary helium purification systems in parallel until the moisture concentration value obtained by the first moisture concentration monitoring unit is no greater than the set control concentration value. Otherwise, the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor 5 is shut down or the operating power of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor 5 is reduced.

Specifically, the second percentage h is 10%.

[0060] The present invention also provides a method for judging the regeneration of helium purification in a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, which uses the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor helium purification monitoring system, comprising:

[0064] Wherein, a is the moisture concentration value obtained by the third moisture concentration monitoring unit, b is the moisture concentration value obtained by the second moisture concentration monitoring unit, and i is the set third percentage; specifically, the third percentage i is 10%.

[0066] The third condition is that the liquid tritium concentration value obtained by the first liquid tritium concentration monitoring unit is greater than the gas tritium concentration value obtained by the first gas tritium concentration monitoring unit;

[0067] The fourth condition is: the liquid tritium concentration value obtained by the third liquid tritium concentration monitoring unit is greater than the liquid tritium concentration value obtained by the first liquid tritium concentration monitoring unit;

[0068] The fifth condition is that when the gas impurity content in the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor 5 is substantially stable, the liquid tritium concentration value obtained by the third liquid tritium concentration monitoring unit has an increasing trend.
