For example, some operations / steps can be broken down, while others can be combined or partially combined; therefore, the actual execution order may change depending on the specific circumstances.

[0018] The block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are merely functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically independent entities. That is, these functional entities can be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0019] The terms “first”, “second”, etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.

[0020] It should be noted that, apart from the flow direction relationship between the entrance and exit, the connections between components are only physical structural connections and do not uniquely limit the connectivity and flow direction relationships. The connection can be a direct pipeline connection or a pipeline connection through other components.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the nuclear island of a nuclear power plant includes the main pump, reactor, pressurizer, and steam generator. The conventional island of a nuclear power plant includes the turbine, steam-water separator reheater, generator, condenser, low-pressure heater, deaerator, feedwater pump, and high-pressure heater. Specifically, steam from the steam generator first enters the high-pressure cylinder of the turbine to do work, driving the generator to generate electricity; steam discharged from the high-pressure cylinder of the turbine enters the steam-water separator reheater, and after dehumidification and reheating, it is sent to the low-pressure cylinder of the turbine to continue expanding and doing work, similarly driving the generator; the condensate produced by the steam-water separator reheater is recovered to the high-pressure heater; the exhaust steam discharged from the low-pressure cylinder of the turbine enters the condenser, is cooled by seawater and condensed into water, and this condensate flows sequentially through the low-pressure heater and deaerator for preliminary heating and deaeration, and is then pressurized by the feedwater pump and sent to the high-pressure heater. The heating steam of the high-pressure heater comes from the extraction steam of the high-pressure cylinder of the turbine, and the high-pressure heater uses the heating steam to further heat the water, finally sending it back to the steam generator, forming a complete two-stage thermodynamic cycle.

[0022] Some embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for controlling the liquid level of a high-pressure heater in the conventional island of a nuclear power plant, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the conventional island of a nuclear power plant includes a controller and at least one row of high-pressure heater groups. Each row of high-pressure heater groups includes at least one high-pressure heater, and each high-pressure heater is equipped with at least three level transmitters 1. The at least three level transmitters 1 are used to continuously measure the liquid level in real time and output liquid level measurement signals to the controller.

[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, this high-pressure heater level control method is applied to a controller and includes the following steps: S1: Receives level measurement signals from at least three level transmitters 1 for each high-pressure heater; S2: Perform comprehensive analysis on the liquid level measurement signals of at least three liquid level transmitters 1 for each high-pressure heater, and adjust the normal drainage and emergency drainage of the corresponding high-pressure heater according to the comprehensive analysis results.

[0024] In this invention, each high-pressure heater has at least three level transmitters 1 participating in the regulation of normal and emergency condensation of the corresponding high-pressure heater. The failure of a single level transmitter 1 will not directly affect the level control of the high-pressure heater, thereby avoiding the abnormal level of the high-pressure heater caused by the failure of one level transmitter 1, which would lead to abnormal unit operation.

[0025] In some embodiments, each high-pressure heater is equipped with at least three level transmitters 1, which are respectively arranged on at least three different DCS cards. This avoids the risk of all level transmitters 1 failing simultaneously due to a single card failure, thereby improving reliability. Understandably, "at least three" can be three, four, or any number.

[0026] In some embodiments, the conventional island of a nuclear power plant includes at least one row of high-pressure heater units. It is understood that this at least one row can be one, two, three, or any number, with the following preferred configurations: Figure 3 The diagram shows at least two interconnected high-pressure heater groups.

[0027] Each high-pressure heater group includes at least one high-pressure heater. Understandably, "at least one" can be one, two, three, or any number, with at least two high-pressure heaters connected in series being preferred. For example, Figure 3 The first and second high-pressure heaters connected in series shown have different hydrophobic cooling zone areas for at least two of them.

[0028] The liquid level control of the high-pressure heater is essentially the liquid level control of the high-pressure heater condensate. The purpose of controlling the condensate is twofold: firstly, to ensure the heat exchange effect, and secondly, to prevent water from entering the steam turbine through the extraction pipe connected to the high-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine.

[0029] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the conventional island of a nuclear power plant includes at least one row of high-pressure heater groups. When each row of high-pressure heater groups includes at least one high-pressure heater, the conventional island of the nuclear power plant also includes feedwater pumps, feedwater headers, secondary side piping of the steam generator, high-pressure cylinder of the turbine, steam-water separator reheater, deaerator, condenser, and third isolation valve 5. It also includes a first isolation valve 3 and a second isolation valve 4 corresponding to each row of high-pressure heater groups, and a fourth isolation valve 6, a first drain valve 7, a second drain valve 8, and a third drain valve 9 corresponding to each high-pressure heater. Specifically: The feedwater inlet of each high-pressure heater group is connected to the outlet of the feedwater pump via a corresponding first isolation valve 3. The feedwater outlet of each high-pressure heater group is connected to the feedwater main pipe via a corresponding second isolation valve 4. Another path of the feedwater pump outlet is connected to the feedwater main pipe via a third isolation valve 5; this path is the main bypass pipeline. The feedwater main pipe is connected to the secondary side pipeline of the steam generator. Each high-pressure heater is connected to the high-pressure cylinder of the turbine via a corresponding fourth isolation valve 6. The high-pressure cylinder of the turbine outputs heated steam to the high-pressure heater through steam extraction. The condensate inlet of each high-pressure heater is connected to the condensate outlet of the steam-water separator reheater via a corresponding first condensate valve 7. One condensate outlet of each high-pressure heater is connected to the deaerator via a corresponding second condensate valve 8; the second condensate valve 8 is a normal condensate valve. The other condensate outlet of each high-pressure heater is connected to the condenser via a corresponding third condensate valve 9; the third condensate valve 9 is an emergency condensate valve.

[0030] Accordingly, step S2 includes S21a, S22a, S23a and S24a, as follows: S21a: If the liquid level measurement signal values ​​of at least three liquid level transmitters 1 of the high-pressure heater are less than the first liquid level threshold, then the second drain valve 8 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled to drain water to the deaerator, and all the drain water is delivered to the deaerator. At the same time, the first isolation valve 3 and the second isolation valve 4 corresponding to the high-pressure heater group are controlled to open, the third isolation valve 5 is controlled to close, and the fourth isolation valve 6 and the first drain valve 7 corresponding to the high-pressure heater are controlled to open.

[0031] S22a: If the level measurement signal values ​​of at least three level transmitters 1 of the high-pressure heater are greater than or equal to the first level threshold and less than the second level threshold, then the second drain valve 8 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled to drain water to the deaerator. Furthermore, the median value of the level measurement signal values ​​of the at least three level transmitters 1 is taken after sorting them by magnitude, and the opening of the third drain valve 9 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled based on the median value for emergency drain adjustment, with some drain water being sent to the condenser. Simultaneously, the first isolation valve 3 and the second isolation valve 4 corresponding to the high-pressure heater group are controlled to open, the third isolation valve 5 is controlled to close, and the fourth isolation valve 6 and the first drain valve 7 corresponding to the high-pressure heater are controlled to open.

[0032] S23a: If the level measurement signal value of more than half of the three level transmitters 1 of the high-pressure heater is greater than or equal to the second level threshold and less than the third level threshold, then the second drain valve 8 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled to drain water to the deaerator. Simultaneously, the third drain valve 9 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is fully opened for emergency drain regulation, with some drain water being sent to the condenser. At the same time, the first isolation valve 3 and the second isolation valve 4 corresponding to the high-pressure heater group are opened, the third isolation valve 5 is closed, and the fourth isolation valve 6 and the first drain valve 7 corresponding to the high-pressure heater are opened.

[0033] S24a: If the liquid level measurement signal value of more than half of the three liquid level transmitters 1 of the high-pressure heater is greater than or equal to the third liquid level threshold, then the first isolation valve 3 and the second isolation valve 4 corresponding to the high-pressure heater group are closed, the third isolation valve 5 is opened, and the fourth isolation valve 6 and the first drain valve 7 corresponding to the high-pressure heater are closed to isolate the entire high-pressure heater group.

[0034] In some embodiments, the conventional island of the aforementioned nuclear power plant includes at least one row of high-pressure heater groups, with each row of high-pressure heater groups including at least one high-pressure heater, such as... Figure 3 As shown, each high-pressure heater group includes at least two high-pressure heaters connected in series, and the water supply between the at least two high-pressure heaters connected in series is connected. For example, each high-pressure heater group includes a first high-pressure heater and a second high-pressure heater connected in series. The water supply inlet of the first high-pressure heater is connected to the outlet of the water supply pump via a first isolation valve 3 corresponding to its column. The water supply outlet of the first high-pressure heater is connected to the water supply inlet of the second high-pressure heater. The water supply outlet of the second high-pressure heater is connected to the water supply header via a second isolation valve 4 corresponding to its column.

[0035] The drains between any two high-pressure heaters connected in series are connected via a second drain valve 8 of one of the high-pressure heaters. For example, one drain outlet of the second high-pressure heater is connected to the second drain inlet of the first high-pressure heater via the second drain valve 8 corresponding to the second high-pressure heater, and the other drain outlet of the second high-pressure heater is connected to the condenser via a third drain valve 9 corresponding to the second high-pressure heater.

[0036] Accordingly, step S21a includes: if the liquid level measurement signal values ​​of at least three liquid level transmitters 1 of the high-pressure heater are less than the first liquid level threshold, then controlling the second drain valve 8 corresponding to the high-pressure heater to drain water to the next-stage high-pressure heater in series. Simultaneously, controlling the opening of the first isolation valve 3 and the second isolation valve 4 corresponding to the high-pressure heater group, controlling the closing of the third isolation valve 5, and controlling the opening of the fourth isolation valve 6 and the first drain valve 7 corresponding to the high-pressure heater.

[0037] Alternatively, step S21a includes: if the level measurement signal values ​​of at least three level transmitters 1 of the high-pressure heater are less than the first level threshold, then controlling the second drain valve 8 corresponding to the high-pressure heater to directly drain water to the deaerator. Simultaneously, controlling the opening of the first isolation valve 3 and the second isolation valve 4 corresponding to the high-pressure heater group, controlling the closing of the third isolation valve 5, and controlling the opening of the fourth isolation valve 6 and the first drain valve 7 corresponding to the high-pressure heater.

[0038] Step S22a includes: if the liquid level measurement signal values ​​of at least three level transmitters 1 of the high-pressure heater are greater than or equal to a first liquid level threshold and less than a second liquid level threshold, then the second drain valve 8 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled to drain water to the next-stage high-pressure heater in series. Furthermore, the liquid level measurement signal values ​​of the at least three level transmitters 1 are sorted according to their numerical values, and the median value is taken. Based on this median value, the third drain valve 9 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled for emergency drain adjustment, with some drained water being transported to the condenser. Simultaneously, the first isolation valve 3 and the second isolation valve 4 corresponding to the high-pressure heater group are controlled to open, the third isolation valve 5 is controlled to close, and the fourth isolation valve 6 and the first drain valve 7 corresponding to the high-pressure heater are controlled to open.

[0039] Alternatively, step S22a includes: if the level measurement signal values ​​of at least three level transmitters 1 of the high-pressure heater are greater than or equal to the first level threshold and less than the second level threshold, then the second drain valve 8 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled to directly drain water to the deaerator. Furthermore, the level measurement signal values ​​of the at least three level transmitters 1 are sorted by magnitude and the median value is taken. Based on this median value, the third drain valve 9 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled for emergency drain adjustment, with some drained water being delivered to the condenser. Simultaneously, the first isolation valve 3 and the second isolation valve 4 corresponding to the high-pressure heater group are controlled to open, the third isolation valve 5 is controlled to close, and the fourth isolation valve 6 and the first drain valve 7 corresponding to the high-pressure heater are controlled to open.

[0040] Step S23a includes: if the level measurement signal value of more than half of the three level transmitters 1 of the high-pressure heater is greater than or equal to the second level threshold and less than the third level threshold, then the second drain valve 8 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled to drain water to the next-stage high-pressure heater in series. Simultaneously, the third drain valve 9 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled to fully open for emergency drain regulation, with some drain water being delivered to the condenser. At the same time, the first isolation valve 3 and the second isolation valve 4 corresponding to the high-pressure heater group are controlled to open, the third isolation valve 5 is controlled to close, and the fourth isolation valve 6 and the first drain valve 7 corresponding to the high-pressure heater are controlled to open.

[0041] Alternatively, step S23a includes: if the level measurement signal value of more than half of the at least three level transmitters 1 of the high-pressure heater is greater than or equal to the second level threshold and less than the third level threshold, then the second drain valve 8 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled to directly drain water to the deaerator. Furthermore, the third drain valve 9 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled to fully open for emergency drain regulation, with some drain water being delivered to the condenser. Simultaneously, the first isolation valve 3 and the second isolation valve 4 corresponding to the high-pressure heater group are controlled to open, the third isolation valve 5 is controlled to close, and the fourth isolation valve 6 and the first drain valve 7 corresponding to the high-pressure heater are controlled to open.

[0042] In some embodiments, the conventional island of the aforementioned nuclear power plant includes at least one row of high-pressure heater groups, each row comprising at least one high-pressure heater; or, the conventional island of the aforementioned nuclear power plant includes at least one row of high-pressure heater groups, each row comprising at least two high-pressure heaters connected in series. Figure 3As shown, the conventional island of a nuclear power plant includes at least two rows of high-pressure heater groups, such as row A and row B. The conventional island also includes a fifth isolation valve 10 corresponding to each high-pressure heater, and in every two rows of high-pressure heater groups, the high-pressure heaters in each row are connected to the fifth isolation valve 10 corresponding to their respective fifth isolation valves.

[0043] Accordingly, step S24a further includes: controlling the closure of the fifth isolation valve 10 set for the high-pressure heater of the unit.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to clean the high-pressure heater group before startup, a recirculation pipeline is also provided from the feedwater header back to the condenser. The pipeline is equipped with the sixth isolation valve 11. That is, the conventional island of the nuclear power plant also includes the sixth isolation valve 11. One branch of the feedwater header is connected to the secondary side pipeline of the steam generator, and the other branch of the feedwater header is connected to the condenser via the sixth isolation valve 11.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the conventional island of the nuclear power plant also includes a seventh isolation valve 12. Another outlet of the feedwater pump is also connected to the feedwater main pipe via the seventh isolation valve 12. This route is a backup bypass pipeline.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the conventional island of a nuclear power plant also includes a balancing valve 13. The balancing valve 13 is connected in parallel to the second isolation valve 4, meaning that the two ends of the balancing valve 13 are connected to the two ends of the second isolation valve 4. Accordingly, when the second isolation valve 4 is closed or opened, the balancing valve 13 is closed or opened simultaneously.

[0047] For example, the isolation valve mentioned above is a gate valve, globe valve, ball valve, butterfly valve, or plug valve, etc., and the steam trap mentioned above is a mechanical, thermostatic, or thermodynamic steam trap, etc. These are just examples and are not intended to be the only limitation of this application; others may also be included.

[0048] The condensate drainage process of a high-pressure heater assembly is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the condensate from the steam-water separator reheater enters the second high-pressure heater, and together with the condensate from the second high-pressure heater itself, it is discharged into the first high-pressure heater through the second drain valve 8. The first high-pressure heater simultaneously receives the condensate from the steam-water separator reheater. Under normal circumstances, the condensate from the first high-pressure heater is discharged to the deaerator through the second drain valve 8.

[0049] When the condensate flow rate of the first high-pressure heater exceeds the normal condensate capacity, for example, when the internal liquid level of the first high-pressure heater rises above the normal operating liquid level by 175 mm, the condensate of the first high-pressure heater, under the action of its liquid level transmitter 1, opens the third condensate valve 9 to discharge the excess condensate to the condenser.

[0050] In addition, normal condensate from the high-pressure heaters typically flows to the deaerator via pressure differential. When the generator load is less than 30% FP, the pressure of the first high-pressure heater is insufficient to overcome the total pressure of the deaerator pressure plus the static pressure head of the deaerator liquid level. This reduces or even prevents the normal condensate flow, causing condensate to accumulate in the first high-pressure heater, raising the liquid level. The third condensate valve 9 then opens, directing the condensate to the condenser. If the liquid level continues to rise above the threshold, an alarm is triggered, and the corresponding high-pressure heater group is automatically isolated.

[0051] In some embodiments, each high-pressure heater is further provided with at least four liquid level switches 2, which are triggered at different liquid level thresholds and output switching signals to the controller. Understandably, the at least four can be four, five, or any number.

[0052] Step S1 includes: receiving liquid level measurement signals from at least three liquid level transmitters 1 and switching signals from at least four liquid level switches 2 of each high-pressure heater. Step S2 includes: comprehensively analyzing the liquid level measurement signals of at least three liquid level transmitters 1 and the switching signals of at least four liquid level switches 2 for each high-pressure heater, and adjusting the normal drainage and emergency drainage of the corresponding high-pressure heater according to the comprehensive analysis results.

[0053] This invention controls the condensate drain of the high-pressure heater by combining a level transmitter 1 and a level switch 2. This allows for mutual verification by combining the signal characteristics of different monitoring elements, solving the problem of level control relying solely on the level switch for triggering. It avoids control errors caused by single element failure or signal deviation, accurately prevents risks such as overfilling or low water level in the high-pressure heater, improves the reliability and safety of high-pressure heater level control, and ensures the stable operation of the conventional island of the nuclear power plant.

[0054] In some embodiments, at least four level switches 2 include a first level switch triggered when the level is below a first level threshold, a second level switch triggered when the level reaches the first level threshold, a third level switch triggered when the level reaches a second level threshold, and a fourth level switch triggered when the level reaches a third level threshold. The first, second, third, and fourth level thresholds here are the same as those in steps S21a, S22a, S23a, and S24a described above. For example, the first level threshold is high, the second level threshold is high-high, and the third level threshold is high-high-high.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the conventional island of a nuclear power plant includes at least one row of high-pressure heater groups. When each row of high-pressure heater groups includes at least one high-pressure heater, the conventional island of the nuclear power plant also includes feedwater pumps, feedwater headers, secondary side piping of the steam generator, high-pressure cylinder of the turbine, steam-water separator reheater, deaerator, condenser, and third isolation valve 5. It also includes a first isolation valve 3 and a second isolation valve 4 corresponding to each row of high-pressure heater groups, and a fourth isolation valve 6, a first drain valve 7, a second drain valve 8, and a third drain valve 9 corresponding to each high-pressure heater. Specifically: The feedwater inlet of each high-pressure heater group is connected to the outlet of the feedwater pump via a corresponding first isolation valve 3. The feedwater outlet of each high-pressure heater group is connected to the feedwater main pipe via a corresponding second isolation valve 4. Another path of the feedwater pump outlet is connected to the feedwater main pipe via a third isolation valve 5; this path is the main bypass pipeline. The feedwater main pipe is connected to the secondary side pipeline of the steam generator. Each high-pressure heater is connected to the high-pressure cylinder of the turbine via a corresponding fourth isolation valve 6. The high-pressure cylinder of the turbine outputs heated steam to the high-pressure heater through steam extraction. The condensate inlet of each high-pressure heater is connected to the condensate outlet of the steam-water separator reheater via a corresponding first condensate valve 7. One condensate outlet of each high-pressure heater is connected to the deaerator via a corresponding second condensate valve 8; the second condensate valve 8 is a normal condensate valve. The other condensate outlet of each high-pressure heater is connected to the condenser via a corresponding third condensate valve 9; the third condensate valve 9 is an emergency condensate valve.

[0056] Accordingly, step S2 includes S21b, S22b, S23b and S24b, as follows: S21b: If the actual liquid level of the high-pressure heater is less than the first liquid level threshold and a switching signal from the first liquid level switch of the high-pressure heater is received, then the second drain valve 8 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled to drain water to the deaerator, and all the drain water is delivered to the deaerator. At the same time, the first isolation valve 3 and the second isolation valve 4 corresponding to the high-pressure heater group are controlled to open, the third isolation valve 5 is controlled to close, and the fourth isolation valve 6 and the first drain valve 7 corresponding to the high-pressure heater are controlled to open.

[0057] S22b: If the actual liquid level of the high-pressure heater is greater than or equal to the first liquid level threshold and less than the second liquid level threshold, and a switching signal from the second liquid level switch of the high-pressure heater is received, then the second drain valve 8 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled to drain water to the deaerator. Furthermore, the opening of the third drain valve 9 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled according to the actual liquid level for emergency drain adjustment, with some drain water being sent to the condenser. Simultaneously, the first isolation valve 3 and the second isolation valve 4 corresponding to the high-pressure heater group are controlled to open, the third isolation valve 5 is controlled to close, and the fourth isolation valve 6 and the first drain valve 7 corresponding to the high-pressure heater are controlled to open.

[0058] S23b: If the actual liquid level of the high-pressure heater is greater than or equal to the second liquid level threshold and less than the third liquid level threshold, and a switching signal from the third liquid level switch of the high-pressure heater is received, then the second drain valve 8 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled to drain water to the deaerator. Simultaneously, the third drain valve 9 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is fully opened for emergency drain regulation, with some drain water being sent to the condenser. At the same time, the first isolation valve 3 and the second isolation valve 4 corresponding to the high-pressure heater group are opened, the third isolation valve 5 is closed, and the fourth isolation valve 6 and the first drain valve 7 corresponding to the high-pressure heater are opened.

[0059] S24b: If the actual liquid level of the high-pressure heater is greater than or equal to the third liquid level threshold and the switch signal of the fourth liquid level switch of the high-pressure heater is received, then the first isolation valve 3 and the second isolation valve 4 corresponding to the high-pressure heater group are closed, the third isolation valve 5 is opened, and the fourth isolation valve 6 and the first drain valve 7 corresponding to the high-pressure heater are closed to isolate the entire high-pressure heater group.

[0060] The actual liquid level of the high-pressure heater is determined by taking the median value after sorting the liquid level measurement signal values ​​of at least three liquid level transmitters 1 according to their numerical values.

[0061] In some embodiments, the conventional island of the aforementioned nuclear power plant includes at least one row of high-pressure heater groups, with each row of high-pressure heater groups including at least one high-pressure heater, such as... Figure 3 As shown, each high-pressure heater group includes at least two high-pressure heaters connected in series, and the water supply between the at least two high-pressure heaters connected in series is connected. For example, each high-pressure heater group includes a first high-pressure heater and a second high-pressure heater connected in series.

The water supply outlet of the first high-pressure heater is connected to the water supply inlet of the second high-pressure heater. The water supply outlet of the second high-pressure heater is connected to the water supply header via a second isolation valve 4 corresponding to its column.

[0062] The condensate drains between any two high-pressure heaters connected in series are specifically connected via a second condensate drain valve 8 of one of the high-pressure heaters. For example, one condensate drain outlet of the second high-pressure heater is connected to the condenser via the corresponding second condensate drain valve 8, while the other condensate drain outlet of the second high-pressure heater is connected to the second condensate drain inlet of the first high-pressure heater via a corresponding third condensate drain valve 9.

[0063] Accordingly, step S21b includes: if the actual liquid level of the high-pressure heater is less than the first liquid level threshold and a switching signal from the first liquid level switch of the high-pressure heater is received, then the second drain valve 8 corresponding to the high-pressure heater is controlled to drain water to the next-stage high-pressure heater in series.
