Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of nuclear power operation and relates to a steam-water circulation system for a steam generator. Background Art

[0002] A direct current steam generator is a steam generator that produces steam in which the working fluid passes through each heating surface once and there is no forced flow of circulation. Compared with a drum-type steam generator, it has the advantages of low noise, compact structure, higher thermal efficiency and less energy loss, and is widely used in nuclear power generation systems. During the startup of a direct current steam generator, the feed water will undergo three phase changes in the evaporator, namely, supercooled water, saturated steam and superheated steam. It has the instability of the vapor-liquid two-phase flow and the complex and changeable operation characteristics of boiling heat transfer. A steam-water separation system is required during the startup process. The currently designed direct current steam generator generally sets the steam-water separator at the outlet of the superheated section of the steam generator heat transfer tube, and the entire startup process is completed by the main feed water operation circuit. There are at least the following disadvantages: First, a large amount of drain and steam are generated in the steam-water separator at the initial start-up of the unit. The discharge of drain and steam into the condenser will cause a heat load shock to the condenser; second, in order to ensure that the feed water temperature at the steam generator inlet meets the unit startup requirements, external steam is required to supply the deaerator to heat the feed water when the main feed water operation loop is started. The water consumption and heat consumption during the startup process are relatively large; third, when the feed water fluctuates during the operation of the unit, the feed water directly enters the superheated section of the steam generator heat transfer tube, which will cause large fluctuations in the main steam temperature, which is not conducive to the safe operation of the unit. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a steam-water circulation system for a steam generator, which can avoid the heat load shock to the condenser in the initial stage of the unit startup.

[0011] The outlet of the starting water supply tank is connected to the inlet of the evaporation section of the heat transfer tube of the steam generator through the starting water supply pump and the tenth valve group.

[0012] The steam extraction port of the steam turbine is connected to the inlet of the deaerator through the twelfth valve group.

The water outlet of the steam-water separator 3 is connected to the inlet of the starting feed water tank 7 through the ninth valve group 20.

[0024] Embodiment 2

[0025] refer to Figure 1 , the working process of this embodiment is:

[0026] 1) Fill the start-up feed water tank 7 with feed water, the reactor 1 starts, open the second valve group 13, the fourth valve group 15, the fifth valve group 16, the sixth valve group 17 and the eighth valve group 19, start the feed water pump 10, and transfer the feed water in the start-up feed water tank 7 to the evaporation section 2-1 of the heat transfer tube of the steam generator. The feed water absorbs the heat transferred from the reactor 1 to the primary side of the steam generator 2 in the evaporation section 2-1 of the heat transfer tube of the steam generator, and becomes a steam-water mixture after being heated. Then, the feed water enters the steam generator 2 through the second valve group 13. The steam separated by the steam-water separator 3 is discharged into the starting feed water tank 7 through the tenth valve group 21 for replenishing the starting feed water, and the steam separated by the steam-water separator 3 enters the starting feed water tank 7 through the fourth valve group 15, the fifth valve group 16 and the sixth valve group 17 for heating the feed water in the starting feed water tank 7. The feed water in the starting feed water tank 7 is transported to the evaporation section 2-1 of the steam generator heat transfer tube through the starting feed water pump 10 to continue absorbing heat, thereby completing the startup steam-water cycle of the reactor 1.

[0027] 2) When the reactor has 1 liter power, when the steam-water separator 3 is at a low liquid level, the working medium output from the evaporation section 2-1 of the steam generator heat transfer tube is converted into saturated steam, the first valve group 12, the third valve group 14 and the seventh valve group 18 are opened, the second valve group 13 and the fourth valve group 15 are closed, the steam-water separator 3 is isolated, and the saturated steam output from the evaporation section 2-1 of the steam generator heat transfer tube enters the superheating section 2-2 of the steam generator heat transfer tube through the first valve group 12 to continue to be heated and converted into superheated steam, and then enters the steam turbine 4 through the third valve group 14 to perform work, and The generator 5 is driven to start generating electricity, the exhaust steam of the turbine 4 enters the condenser 6 for condensation, and then is transported to the starting feed water tank 7 through the condensate pump 8 and the seventh valve group 18. Part of the steam output from the superheating section 2-2 of the steam generator heat transfer tube enters the starting feed water tank 7 through the fifth valve group 16 and the sixth valve group 17, and is used to heat the feed water in the starting feed water tank 7. The feed water in the starting feed water tank 7 is transported to the evaporation section 2-1 of the steam generator heat transfer tube through the starting feed water pump 10 to continue absorbing heat, thereby completing the steam-water cycle of the reactor 1 and the generator 5 under low load.

[0028] 3) The reactor 1 continues to increase its power. When the generator 5 is loaded to 30% of the rated load, the twelfth valve group 23 is opened, and the extraction steam of the turbine 4 is discharged into the deaerator 9 through the twelfth valve group 23 to heat the feed water. After the feed water temperature in the deaerator 9 meets the inlet feed water temperature requirement of the steam generator 2, the eleventh valve group 22 is opened, the main feed water pump 11 is started, and the feed water is transported to the steam generator 2 through the main feed water pump 11. The eighth valve group 19 is opened, and the condensate output by the condenser 6 is transported to the deaerator 9 through the condensate pump 8 and the eighth valve group 19. After the feed water flow of the steam generator 2 is stable, the fifth valve group 16, the sixth valve group 17, the eighth valve group 19 and the tenth valve group 21 are closed, the start-up feed water pump 10 is shut down, and the start-up steam-water circuit is isolated.

[0029] The feed water in the deaerator 9 is transported to the evaporation section 2-1 of the heat transfer tube of the steam generator and the superheating section 2-2 of the heat transfer tube of the steam generator through the main feed water pump 11 to continue to absorb heat and be converted into superheated steam, and then enter the steam turbine 4 through the third valve group 14 to do work and drive the generator 5 to start generating electricity. The exhaust steam of the steam turbine 4 enters the condenser 6 to condense, and then is transported to the deaerator 9 through the condensate pump 8 and the eighth valve group 19 to be heated into feed water, and then is transported to the steam generator 2 through the main feed water pump 11 to absorb heat until the reactor 1 is increased to full power, the generator 5 is increased to rated load, and the steam generator 2 is operated at full load, completing the steam-water cycle during the unit startup process.

[0030] It should be noted that the utility model realizes steam-water separation and steam-water circulation at different stages of the unit by dividing the heat transfer tube of the steam generator 2 into an evaporation section and a superheating section, thereby ensuring that the working medium before entering the superheating section 2-2 of the steam generator heat transfer tube is saturated steam, improving the heating efficiency of the working medium in the steam generator 2, and being able to quickly generate a large amount of superheated steam as the power of the reactor 1 increases, thereby improving the startup efficiency of the unit. At the same time, when the feed water fluctuates during operation of the unit, the feed water first enters the steam-water separator 3 to be separated, and will not directly enter the superheating section 2-2 of the steam generator heat transfer tube, thereby improving the stability of the main steam temperature and facilitating the safety of the unit operation.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, ordinary technicians in the relevant field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the utility model can still be modified or replaced by equivalents, and any modification or equivalent replacement that does not depart from the spirit and scope of the utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model.
