Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of the coolant purification system for high-temperature gas-cooled reactor engineering, and particularly relates to a helium purification and regeneration system and a commissioning method thereof. Background Art
[0002] A high-temperature gas-cooled reactor is a high-temperature reactor that uses graphite as a moderator and helium as a coolant, and is an advanced nuclear reactor with inherent safety, high power generation efficiency, and extremely wide applications. During the operation of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, due to nuclear fuel nuclide fission, micro-leakage of the steam generator, atmosphere switching of the fuel handling system, loading of new fuel, etc., the impurity concentration in the primary coolant helium gas will increase. These impurities include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen, methane, hydrogen, water, krypton, xenon, etc. The harm of impurities to the reactor is mainly manifested in three aspects. First, the impurity water and oxygen will corrode the fuel elements and graphite components. Second, the impurity hydrogen infiltrates into the in-core metal components, resulting in hydrogen embrittlement and decarburization phenomena, leading to corrosion and cracks, and the process is faster at higher temperatures. In addition, the impurities krypton and xenon increase the radioactive level of the primary loop of the reactor. Therefore, a purification system is required to purify the helium gas.
[0003] When the impurity gas adsorbed by the purification equipment in the helium purification system reaches the working saturation, a helium purification and regeneration system is required to regenerate the purification equipment. There are two working modes for the traditional helium purification and regeneration system. One is the periodic regeneration of the purification column: when the reactor is operating normally, after each normal purification column in the helium purification system has continuously worked for more than 1800 hours, the impurity gas adsorbed by the purification equipment may approach or reach the working saturation state, and a working switch is required to put this purification column into the regeneration system for operation, and the present system is used to regenerate the purification equipment of the working-saturated normal purification column one by one in sequence. The other mode is the partial regeneration of the purification equipment: during normal operation, due to the premature working saturation of a certain purification equipment in the helium purification system, it needs to be regenerated, and this system can be put into operation to regenerate the equipment to be regenerated alone.
[0004] The helium purification and regeneration system is an important auxiliary system of the helium purification system and is a prerequisite for the helium purification system test, directly affecting the helium purification system test and the purification efficiency of the primary loop gas medium. Before the helium purification and regeneration system is put into operation, it needs to be commissioned to ensure that the helium gas quality meets the operation requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a helium purification and regeneration system and a commissioning method thereof to fully verify the system functions of the helium purification and regeneration system and ensure that the helium gas quality can meet the operation requirements.

[0056] In the second aspect, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the present invention further provides a helium purification and regeneration system, which is applied to the coolant purification and regeneration process of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power plant, including: a heat exchanger 1, a first gas-water separator 2, a first molecular sieve bed 3, a membrane compressor unit 4, and a first electric heater 5, which are sequentially connected and arranged along the helium flow direction; the front end of the heat exchanger 1 can be communicated with the rear end of the purification equipment of the helium purification system; the rear end of the first electric heater 5 is communicated with the outlet end of the purification equipment of the helium purification system, so that the helium purification and regeneration system and the helium purification system form a regeneration loop; a first valve body 7 is provided between the heat exchanger 1 and the purification equipment of the helium purification system; a second valve body 8 is provided between the first electric heater 5 and the purification equipment of the helium purification system; a return pipeline, one end of the return pipeline is communicated with the front end of the heat exchanger 1 and is located between the heat exchanger 1 and the first valve body 7, the other end of the return pipeline is communicated with the inlet end of the purification equipment of the helium purification system and is located between the second valve body 8 and the purification equipment of the helium purification system, and a third valve body 9 is provided on the return pipeline.
[0057] Specifically, when the switching valve places the purification equipment related to the helium purification system in the regeneration circuit, helium flows out from the outlet of the purification equipment of the helium purification system, enters the heat exchanger 1 through the first valve body 7, conducts heat exchange, then conducts steam-water separation in the first steam-water separator 2, adsorbs carbon dioxide and water in the molecular sieve, and after being heated by the first electric heater 5, re-enters the relevant purification equipment in the helium purification system through the second valve body 8. The helium is divided into two streams after the second valve body 8.

A first inlet valve and a first outlet valve are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the first membrane press, and a second inlet valve and a second outlet valve are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the second membrane press. When the first membrane press fails, by closing the first inlet valve and the first outlet valve, the second membrane press can operate normally to maintain and replace the first membrane press, so as to ensure the normal operation of the system and reduce the maintenance cost. Similarly, when the second membrane press fails, the second inlet valve and the second outlet valve can be closed.
