Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of nuclear power plant circulating cooling water treatment devices, and particularly relates to a forced foaming device for nuclear power plant circulating cooling water treatment. Background Art

[0002] A large amount of seawater is required for the cooling circulating water of a nuclear power plant, and the water temperature difference between the inlet and outlet is about 8 - 10 °C. Due to the large amount of cooling circulating water, a large number of marine organisms and various algae will enter the cooling system. Under the action of mechanical collision, heat, and chemical action (disinfectant), the marine organisms and various algae in the cooling circulation will die and decompose, making the circulating cooling water contain more organic matter. The circulating cooling water is usually taken from the ocean intercepted by the grid through a booster pump at the water intake, then lifted to the condenser for heat exchange, discharged into the overflow weir, then drained into the siphon well, and finally discharged into the ocean through the drainage pipeline for natural diffusion and cooling. For safety reasons, there is a certain height difference between the overflow weir and the sea level. Therefore, when the warm water after heat exchange drains from the overflow weir into the siphon well, it is inevitable to generate hydraulic jump forced aeration, forming a water flow entrainment phenomenon within a certain range. When the water flow reaches the release sea area, the bubbles will overflow the water surface and form a foam with strong stability, thus forming a relatively long foam belt at the circulating cooling water discharge port. It can be seen that the foam in the cooling circulating water partially enriches a large amount of organic matter and nutrient salt components, forming a relatively large area of foam area with strong persistence in the sea area around the nuclear power plant. This not only causes certain pollution to the surrounding sea area but also leads to the common misunderstanding among the people that the nuclear power plant discharges a large amount of toxic and harmful pollutants into the surrounding sea area, that is, the so-called sensory pollution, which greatly affects the acceptance and recognition of the nuclear power plant by the public, especially the people in the area where the nuclear power plant is located. Therefore, it is very necessary to effectively remove the pollution of the circulating cooling seawater. Existing technologies such as "Research on Foam Formation Analysis and Pollution Control Engineering Measures" (Guangdong Hydropower & Water Resources, Vol.5, pp26 - 30, October 2002) mainly optimize the overflow weir of the siphon well, and set partitions in the siphon well and take defoaming measures to reduce the generation quantity of foam. There are also nuclear power plants that adopt the measure of adding defoaming agents, adding defoaming agents into the siphon well and mixing them with the discharged circulating cooling water to reduce the quantity and area of the foam belt formed on the sea surface. However, the above measures do not fundamentally solve the problem of organic matter pollution caused by the fragmentation of fish, plankton, and algae due to the temperature rise and violent movement of the circulating cooling water. For this reason, we propose a forced foaming device for nuclear power plant circulating cooling water treatment. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a forced foaming device for nuclear power plant circulating cooling water treatment, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

Specific embodiments

[0017] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects of the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0018] As Figures 1-3 shown, a forced foaming device for nuclear power plant circulating cooling water treatment includes a fan 1 and a support frame structure 3. The output end of the fan 1 is fixedly connected to a main air supply pipe 2. The other end of the main air supply pipe 2 is connected to a shunt annular branch pipe 4. The shunt annular branch pipe 4 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support frame structure 3. The rear foaming structure 5 is fixedly connected to two corner positions of the shunt annular branch pipe 4. The front foaming structure 6 is fixedly connected to the other two corner positions of the shunt annular branch pipe 4. The weight lead rings 7 are sleeved on the surfaces of the rear foaming structure 5 and the front foaming structure 6;

[0019] The support frame structure 3 includes a first oval float 301, a second oval float 302, a cage 303, and insertion holes 304. A cage 303 is fixedly installed between the first oval float 301 and the second oval float 302. Insertion holes 304 are provided at positions near both ends on the surfaces of the first oval float 301 and the second oval float 302. The rear foaming structure 5 includes a rear air supply hose 501 and a rear perforated pipe 502. Rear air supply hoses 501 are connected to positions near both ends on the surface of the rear perforated pipe 502. The front foaming structure 6 includes a front air supply hose 601 and a front perforated pipe 602. Front air supply hoses 601 are fixedly connected to positions near both ends on the surface of the front perforated pipe 602. There are a total of four counterweight lead rings 7, which are respectively sleeved on the surfaces of the two front air supply hoses 601 and the two rear air supply hoses 501. The function of the counterweight lead rings 7 is to sink the front perforated pipe 602 and the rear perforated pipe 502 to the seabed, so as to better enable the tiny bubbles to contact the organic matter of various marine organisms and algal fragments containing pollutants. The two rear air supply hoses 501 and the two front air supply hoses 601 respectively pass through the insertion holes 304 at corresponding positions and are connected to the shunt annular branch pipe 4.

[0020] It should be noted that the present utility model is a forced foaming device for nuclear power plant circulating cooling water treatment. When in use, the fan 1 is started to introduce air into the shunt annular branch pipe 4 through the air supply main pipe 2. Then the shunt annular branch pipe 4 further introduces the air into the two front air supply hoses 601 and the two rear air supply hoses 501 respectively. Then the air enters the front perforated pipe 602 and the rear perforated pipe 502, and forms a large number of tiny bubbles in the seawater through the micropores on their surfaces. In this way, the organic matter of various marine organisms and algal fragments containing pollutants adheres to the surfaces of the tiny bubbles and rises to the sea surface, forming a relatively thick foam layer. By collecting the foam, most of the pollutants are concentrated in a small amount of foam water, and then enter the biochemical system for further treatment and purification.

[0021] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art of this industry should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principle of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
