TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of nuclear power plant testing, in particular to a testing system and testing method for a valve flow amplifier for a nuclear power plant. BACKGROUND
[0002] Valves are indispensable equipment in process systems, and in nuclear power plants, the response time of valves that bear safety functions is strictly required for nuclear safety, and in order to ensure the response speed of the valves in the system, flow amplifiers are mostly equipped, so it is very important to ensure that the valve flow amplifier functions properly.
[0003] At present, most of the important valve positioners in the nuclear island of the nuclear power plant are equipped with flow amplifiers, and the current flow amplifiers are installed in a place with high temperature, and the valve core material of the flow amplifier is rubber, so the failure rate of the flow amplifier due to high temperature is relatively high. In the prior art, the flow amplifier has no corresponding equipment for function test in the maintenance workshop, and needs to be connected to the field system and put into operation to complete the single function test. The manufacturer does not have a matching flow amplifier offline debugging device, and if it is necessary to test whether the flow amplifier has a fault, the device needs to be installed and then disassembled for processing. The above operation not only affects the efficiency of equipment maintenance, but also needs to be tested in the unit, which also brings adverse effects on the stable operation of the system.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problems, it is urgent to develop a testing device for a valve flow amplifier for a nuclear power plant. SUMMARY
[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a testing system and testing method for a valve flow amplifier for a nuclear power plant, so as to detect the performance of the valve flow amplifier before assembly.
[0006] The purpose of the present application can be achieved by the following technical solutions:
[0007] The present application provides a testing system for a valve flow amplifier for a nuclear power plant, comprising:
[0008] A gas supply assembly for supplying gas to the flow amplifier to be tested;
[0009] A pressure regulating assembly connected with the gas supply assembly, for converting the gas pressure into the actual gas pressure in use; the gas outlet of the pressure regulating assembly is in communication with the inlet of the flow amplifier;
[0010] A pressure testing assembly connected with the outlet of the flow amplifier, for measuring the gas pressure flowing out of the flow amplifier.
[0011] Further, the gas supply assembly is connected with a power supply.
[0012] Further, the power supply is a 24V DC power supply.
[0013] Further, the air inlet of the pressure regulating assembly is connected with the air outlet of the air supply assembly through a connecting pipe.
[0014] Further, the air outlet of the pressure regulating assembly is communicated with the inlet of the flow amplifier through a connecting pipe.
[0015] Further, the connecting pipe can be selected as a 1 / 4 inch instrument pipe or a 1 / 16 inch plastic hose according to the test requirement.
[0016] Further, the pressure regulating assembly is a pressure reducing valve, which can convert the pressure of compressed air into a pressure consistent with the pressure used in the field, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the test effect.
[0017] Further, a control valve is arranged between the pressure regulating assembly and the flow amplifier. When the pressure value on the control valve matches the set pressure value of the pressure regulating assembly, the control valve is opened to allow the gas to flow into the flow amplifier.
[0018] Further, the pressure test assembly is a digital pressure gauge.
[0019] Further, the test system further comprises an integrated box, and the air supply assembly, the pressure regulating assembly, the pressure test assembly and the flow amplifier to be tested are all installed in the integrated box.
[0020] The application provides a test method for a valve flow amplifier for a nuclear power plant, which adopts the above test system, and the test method specifically comprises the following steps:
[0021] S1: sequentially connecting the air supply assembly, the pressure regulating assembly, the flow amplifier and the pressure test assembly;
[0022] S2: opening the air supply assembly, and inputting the gas into the pressure regulating assembly and then into the flow amplifier;
[0023] S3: inputting the gas through the flow amplifier into the pressure test assembly, and judging the sealing performance of the flow amplifier by the pressure test assembly.
[0024] Further, in step S1, a control valve is arranged between the pressure regulating assembly and the flow amplifier; and when the pressure value on the control valve matches the set pressure value of the pressure regulating assembly, the control valve is opened.
[0025] Further, in step S3, when the pressure test assembly displays that the pressure value does not increase, it is determined that the sealing performance of the flow amplifier is good; and when the pressure test assembly displays that the pressure value increases, it is determined that the sealing performance of the flow amplifier is poor.
[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0027] (1) The test system of the present application does not need to perform function test after the flow amplifier is connected to the field, but performs sealing detection on the single flow amplifier through the connection and cooperation of the air supply assembly, the pressure regulating assembly and the pressure test assembly.
[0028] (2) The present application can convert the pressure of compressed air into the pressure consistent with the pressure used in the field through the pressure regulating assembly, so as to ensure the stability and reliability of the test effect.
[0029] (3) The test system of the present application is simple to install and operate, and can perform performance test on the valve flow amplifier of the warehouse spare parts through simple installation in the field, thereby improving the equipment maintenance efficiency and the stability of system operation.
