Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear reactor systems, and particularly relates to a limit support structure for the secondary side partition plate of a steam generator. Background Art

[0002] The new type of high-efficiency steam generator adopts the design of an axial flow preheater to enhance heat transfer. This design puts forward new requirements for the structure of the rising channel in the tube bundle area on the secondary side of the steam generator. In order to create a fully countercurrent fluid distribution state of the feed water on the cold side of the tube bundle, the steam generator with an axial flow preheater is provided with a secondary side partition plate in the tube gallery area of the tube bundle. The existence of this partition plate divides the original circular tube support plates of each layer into two semi-circular support plates. In order to still ensure the effective support of the tube bundle and avoid the support instability caused by factors such as improper assembly, thermal expansion, and flow-induced vibration, it is necessary to innovatively and reasonably design the support limit structure between the secondary side partition plate and its associated structures. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The width of the first wedge-shaped slot strip is greater than the thickness of the secondary side partition plate.

[0010] The first wedge-shaped slot strips are welded and fixed to the first wedge-shaped slot strips.

[0011] At the position of each layer of pipe support plate, wedge-shaped limiting submodules are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the secondary side partition plate, and each submodule includes a second wedge-shaped slot strip and a second wedge-shaped adjustment block.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal communication of two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0027] Such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, a steam generator secondary side partition limiting and supporting structure provided by the present invention includes: a secondary side partition 1, a bottom limiting seat module 2, a side limiting groove module 3, and an intermediate supporting and limiting module 4. The bottom limiting seat module 2 is fixedly installed at the center of the tube sheet 8 of the steam generator.

[0028] The secondary side partition 1 is placed on the surface of the secondary side tube lane area of the steam generator tube sheet through the bottom limiting seat module 2, and the bottom limiting seat module 2 is welded to the secondary side surface of the tube sheet 8.

[0029] As Figure 2 shown, the bottom limiting seat module 2 is a Y-shaped support groove 10. The groove width of the Y-shaped support groove 10 is greater than the thickness of the secondary side partition 1. The secondary side partition 1 is inserted into the Y-shaped support groove 10. A plurality of bottom limiting wedges 9 are provided in the gap between the Y-shaped support groove 10 and the secondary side partition 1. The bottom limiting wedges 9 eliminate the gap between the Y-shaped support groove 10 and the secondary side partition 1, ensuring complete limitation of the secondary side partition 1 in the thickness direction while not restricting in-plane displacement.

[0030] Both sides of the secondary side partition 1 are fixedly limited by the side limiting groove module 3 and the inner wall of the tube bundle sleeve 7 of the steam generator.

[0031] As Figure 3 shown, the side limiting groove module 3 includes 9 sub-modules with the same structure. Each module includes a pair of first wedge-shaped card slots 12 and a pair of first wedge-shaped card slots 11. The first wedge-shaped card slots 12 are welded to the inner wall of the tube bundle sleeve 7. The width of the first wedge-shaped card slots 12 is greater than the thickness of the secondary side partition 1. The secondary side partition 1 is inserted into the first wedge-shaped card slots 12. A first wedge-shaped card slot 11 is provided in the gap between the first wedge-shaped card slots 12 and the secondary side partition 1. After the gap is eliminated by the first wedge-shaped card slot 11 and finally adjusted in place, the first wedge-shaped card slot 11 is welded and fixed to the first wedge-shaped card slot 12, ultimately achieving complete limitation of the secondary side partition 1 in the thickness direction while not restricting in-plane displacement.

[0032] A transverse tube support plate 6 is provided at the center of the tube bundle sleeve 7. The secondary side partition 1 passes through multiple layers of tube support plates 6 located below the tube bundle and is mutually limited and supported with the tube support plate 6 through the intermediate support and limit module 4.

[0033] As Figure 4As shown in the figure, at the position of the tube support plate 6 of each layer, wedge-shaped limiting sub-modules are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the secondary side partition plate 1. Each sub-module includes a second wedge-shaped card slot strip 13 and a second wedge-shaped adjustment block 14. The second wedge-shaped card slot strip 13 is in contact with the secondary side partition plate 1, and the second wedge-shaped adjustment block 14 is in contact and cooperation with the card slot strip 13 to eliminate the gap between the card slot strip 13 and the tube support plate 1. After the final adjustment is in place, the second wedge-shaped adjustment block 14 is welded and fixed to the card slot strip 13, so as to realize the complete limit of the secondary side partition plate in the thickness direction, while not restricting the in-plane displacement.

[0034] The intermediate support limiting module 4 also realizes the complete limit of the corresponding tube support plate 6 of each layer in the in-plane diameter direction, while not restricting the up and down movement of the tube support plate caused by the thermal expansion and contraction of the tube bundle.

[0035] All parts in the bottom limiting seat module 2, the side limiting groove module 3, and the intermediate support limiting module 4 are made of the same carbon steel material as the steam generator tube bundle sleeve 7.

[0036] The secondary side partition plate 1 is made of nickel-based material.

[0037] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting.

Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present invention.
