Description

Technical Field

[0001] The system of the utility model belongs to the thermal system within the scope of the conventional island of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power unit, and is applicable to the start-up and shutdown system of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power unit. This technology can achieve remarkable effects in aspects such as simplifying the existing start-up and shutdown system of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear power unit, simplifying operation control, improving system reliability, and saving construction investment. Background Art

[0002] The high-temperature gas-cooled reactor unit is equipped with an independent start-up and shutdown system. During the start-up and shutdown process of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor nuclear island, the start-up and shutdown system establishes the start-up cycle of the secondary side of the nuclear island, protects the nuclear island evaporator, and takes away the heat generated by the nuclear island during the start-up and shutdown process.

[0003] The existing start-up and shutdown of the in-operation high-temperature gas-cooled reactor unit is a pressure-reducing system. The key components configured in the start-up and shutdown system include a steam-water separator, a steam-water separator inlet regulating valve, a bypass discharge valve, and a steam-water separator drain valve.

[0004] The designed operating pressure of the steam-water separator in the pressure-reducing start-up and shutdown system is lower than the designed operating pressure at the outlet of the nuclear island evaporator. During the commissioning stage of the start-up and shutdown system, the steam-water separator inlet regulating valve is used to maintain the constant value of the pressure at the outlet of the nuclear island evaporator at 13.9 MPa(a) or 14.3 MPa(a), and the bypass discharge valve and the steam-water separator drain valve are used to maintain the constant value of the operating pressure of the steam-water separator at 5.0 MPa(a). The operating conditions of the steam-water separator inlet regulating valve in the existing start-up and shutdown system are complex, the selection is difficult, the equipment cost is expensive, and the operation control logic is complex. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to develop a start-up and shutdown system scheme for a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor unit with isobaric operation, so as to cancel the pressure-reducing link in the start-up and shutdown process of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor unit, simplify the system configuration, optimize the operation control, reduce potential accident hazards, and reduce the operation intensity on the premise of ensuring the system functions.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides an isobaric start-up and shut-down reactor system for a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor unit, which includes a nuclear island evaporator, a steam-water separator, a bypass discharge valve, a steam-water separator drain valve and a condenser. The nuclear island evaporator is connected to the main steam header through a first main steam pipeline and a second main steam pipeline. The nuclear island evaporator, the first main steam pipeline, the third main steam pipeline, the steam-water separator inlet pipeline and the steam-water separator are connected in sequence. The upper outlet and the lower outlet of the steam-water separator are respectively connected to the inlet steam pipeline of the bypass discharge valve and the inlet pipeline of the steam-water separator drain valve through the steam-water separator outlet pipeline. The bypass discharge valve is connected to the upper inlet of the condenser through the bypass discharge valve outlet steam pipeline. The steam-water separator drain valve is connected to the lower inlet of the condenser through the steam-water separator drain valve outlet pipeline. A steam-water separator bypass pipeline is arranged between the steam-water separator inlet pipeline and the steam-water separator outlet pipeline. The nuclear island evaporator, the first main steam pipeline, the third main steam pipeline, the steam-water separator bypass pipeline, the inlet steam pipeline of the bypass discharge valve, the bypass discharge valve, the bypass discharge valve outlet steam pipeline and the condenser are connected in sequence. Valves are respectively arranged on the first main steam pipeline, the second main steam pipeline, the steam-water separator bypass pipeline, the steam-water separator inlet pipeline and the steam-water separator outlet pipeline.

[0007] During the start-up and shut-down operation stage of the reactor system, the bypass discharge valve is used to maintain the outlet pressure of the nuclear island evaporator at the rated value, and the steam-water separator drain valve is used to maintain the liquid level in the steam-water separator within the rated range. Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages: the start-up and shut-down reactor system is simplified, saving the construction cost; the number of active control targets is reduced, and the operation control logic is clear and concise; the inlet regulating valve of the steam-water separator is cancelled, improving the operation stability and reducing the operation intensity; the safety valve of the steam-water separator is cancelled, reducing the potential trouble of component failure.

[0026] Stage 4: The outlet of the nuclear island evaporator is in the superheated steam stage II

[0027] The valve (LBA10 AA101), the valve (LBF10 AA101), and the bypass discharge valve 4 are in the open state; the valve (LBA10 AA102), the valve (LBH10 AA101), the valve (LBH20 AA101), and the steam-water separator drain valve 5 are in the closed state.
