[0025] The nuclear power plant drain outlet defoaming device also includes a liquid conduit 40 extending transversely through opposite circumferential sidewalls of the inner sleeve 20. The conduit 40 has a liquid inlet 41 and a liquid outlet 42 at either end. A spray pipe 50 is provided on the upper edge of the inner sleeve 20. The spray pipe 50 is equipped with a plurality of spray nozzles 51. The spray pipe 50 is connected to and communicates with the conduit 40 via a connecting pipe 60. The nuclear power plant drain outlet defoaming device also includes a submersible pump 70 connected to the conduit 40. The submersible pump 70 is positioned near the liquid inlet 41 and is used to pump seawater flowing into the liquid conduit space A into the spray pipe 50 for spraying by the spray nozzles 51, thereby defoaming the seawater at the nuclear power plant drain outlet.
[0026] The outer sleeve 10 and the inner sleeve 20 can both be circular cylindrical structures, and the outer sleeve 10 is coaxially arranged with the inner sleeve 20. Furthermore, the defoaming device for the drain outlet of a nuclear power plant also includes a plurality of buoys 11 connected to the outer sleeve 10. The buoys 11 can be directly fixed to the outer sleeve 10 or connected by a chain, or the outer sleeve 10 is connected to the dam of the drain outlet of the nuclear power plant by a connecting cable. Preferably, the buoys 11 can be made of polyethylene, high-density polyethylene or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. Of course, the shape, size and material of the buoys 11 can be selected and set according to actual needs, and are not specifically limited here.
[0027] The nuclear power plant drain outlet defoaming device further includes a plurality of counterweights 12 connected to the outer sleeve 10. The counterweights 12 may be mounted on the outer wall of the outer sleeve 10 near the bottom, or alternatively, on the bottom of the outer sleeve 10. The counterweights 12 may improve the stability of the nuclear power plant drain outlet defoaming device and prevent it from swaying due to waves.
[0028] The counterweight 12 can be made of concrete. The counterweight 12 can be connected to the outer sleeve 10 via a connecting rope or a buckle. For example, the counterweight 12 can have a first connecting lug, and the outer sleeve 10 can have a second connecting lug, with a connecting rope connecting the first and second connecting lugs.
[0029] In some embodiments, the outer sleeve 10 and the inner sleeve 20 may be made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a highly crystalline, non-polar thermoplastic resin produced by copolymerization of ethylene. Raw HDPE has a milky white appearance and is somewhat translucent in thin cross-sections. It exhibits excellent resistance to most household and industrial chemicals, including corrosion and dissolution by strong oxidants (concentrated nitric acid), acids, bases, salts, and organic solvents (carbon tetrachloride). It is suitable for use in marine environments. Of course, the cover plate 30 may also be made of high-density polyethylene.
[0030] In some embodiments, the outer sleeve 10 and the inner sleeve 20 may be made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), also known as high-strength and high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE). This is unbranched, linear polyethylene with a molecular weight of 1.5 million or more. UHMWPE exhibits excellent mechanical properties, impact resistance, wear resistance, chemical resistance, and optical resistance. The cover plate 30 may also be made of UHMWPE.

[0032] In some embodiments, the outer sleeve 10 may have a diameter of 2 to 5 meters, and the inner sleeve 20 may have a diameter of 2 to 4 meters. For example, the outer sleeve 10 may have a diameter of 4 meters, and the inner sleeve 20 may have a diameter of 3 meters.
[0033] It can be understood that the shapes, sizes and materials of the outer sleeve 10, the inner sleeve 20 and the cover plate 30 can be selected and set according to actual needs and are not specifically limited here.
[0034] In some embodiments, the liquid inlet 31 is equipped with a filter to prevent marine organisms or impurities from directly entering the liquid-conducting space A. The filter can also perform appropriate defoaming operations. The filter can include, but is not limited to, a copper alloy mesh or a high-strength zinc-aluminum alloy mesh. Alternatively, the filter can be a polyethylene mesh with the following specifications: a 60-wire warp knitted mesh with a mesh size of 30 mm, a 60-wire warp knitted mesh with a mesh size of 40 mm, or a 60-wire warp knitted mesh with a mesh size of 50 mm.
[0035] In some embodiments, the connecting pipe 60 is provided with at least one first control valve 61 , and the first control valve 61 can be a ball valve.
[0036] In some embodiments, the drainage tube 40 is further provided with a sampling device 80, which is located downstream of the submersible pump 70. The sampling device 80 can be used to sample the drainage water to enable real-time monitoring of water quality. The sampling device 80 can be connected to the onshore control platform via a wired or wireless connection. When a wired connection is used, the connection can be via a waterproof armored cable.
[0037] The sampling device 80 includes a COD analyzer, a dissolved oxygen meter, a pH meter, a thermometer, and / or a turbidity meter. Appropriate instruments and combinations thereof can be selected according to actual needs to detect seawater at the nuclear power plant outlet.
[0038] Among them, COD analyzer (abbreviation of chemical oxygen demand), the Chinese name is "chemical oxygen demand" or "chemical oxygen consumption", which refers to the amount of oxygen consumed by the oxidation and decomposition of reducing substances (such as organic matter) in water using chemical oxidants (such as potassium dichromate). It reflects the degree of pollution of the water body by reducing substances. The dissolved oxygen meter is a device for measuring dissolved oxygen in water. The working principle is that oxygen passes through the diaphragm and is reduced by the working electrode, generating a diffusion current proportional to the oxygen concentration. By measuring this current, the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the water is obtained. The pH meter, also known as the pH meter, is an instrument for measuring pH value, also known as the pH meter and acid-base detector. The turbidity meter, also known as the turbidity meter, is used to detect the turbidity of seawater.
[0039] In some embodiments, the liquid conduit 40 is provided with at least one second control valve 43, and the second control valve 43 is located downstream of the submersible pump 70. The second control valve 43 can also be provided downstream of the sampling device 80.
[0040] In some embodiments, a check valve 44 is further provided upstream of the sampling device 80 to prevent backflow of seawater.
[0041] It can be understood that the defoaming device at the drain outlet of the nuclear power plant adopts a physical defoaming method, which is relatively simple and low in cost.
[0042] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can be made, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the present invention should fall within the scope of coverage of the claims of the present invention.
