[0002] In the event of a radioactive leak at a nuclear power plant, radioactive materials could leak into the ambient atmosphere. The main control room air conditioning system draws fresh air from the environment. To prevent radioactive materials from entering the main control room and potentially harming personnel, the outside air must be filtered before it is delivered to the control room. Currently, the typical main control room air conditioning system consists of an electric heater to ensure the required relative humidity of the exhaust air, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the iodine adsorber; a pre-filter to remove dust and other pollutants; a high-efficiency particulate air filter to remove aerosol pollutants; an iodine adsorber to absorb iodine from the exhaust air; a post-filter to filter activated carbon; and a fan to overcome filter resistance. This solution relies on a nuclear safety-grade power supply and requires a nuclear safety-grade emergency diesel engine, resulting in high equipment procurement and operation and maintenance costs. In the event of a power outage in the event of an AC power loss, this solution would not be able to maintain the habitability of the main control room. Utility Model Content

[0023] See also Figure 1 , is a nuclear power plant main control room emergency support system in some embodiments of the present invention, comprising a compressed air storage and regulating device 1, an air circulation filter and cooling device 2, and a pressure relief device 3. The compressed air storage and regulating device 1 is connected to the air circulation filter and cooling device 2 and is used to provide compressed air to the air circulation filter and cooling device 2. The air circulation filter and cooling device 2 comprises a circulation pipeline 21, an air ejector 22, a cold coil 23, and a cold water storage tank 24. The ends of the circulation pipeline 21 are respectively connected to the air intake and air outlet of the nuclear power plant main control room 4. The air ejector 22 and the cold coil 23 are arranged on the circulation pipeline 21. The output end of the compressed air storage and regulating device 1 is connected to the air ejector 22, and the cold water storage tank 24 is connected to the cold coil 23 and is located at a high position of the cold coil 23. The pressure relief device 3 is connected to the nuclear power plant main control room 4 and is used to relieve pressure when the nuclear power plant main control room 4 is overpressurized.
[0024] Specifically, during normal operation of the nuclear power plant's main control room 4, the system can store sufficient breathing-grade compressed air through the compressed air storage and regulation device 1. When the nuclear power plant's main control room 4 requires emergency support, the nuclear power plant's main control room emergency support system is put into operation, and the compressed air storage and regulation device 1 releases compressed air at a certain pressure and rate to the air ejector 22, inducing the indoor air of the nuclear power plant's main control room 4 to mix and enter the air circulation filter cooling device 2 for filtration and cooling. The compressed air provided by the compressed air storage and regulation device 1 can meet the breathing and positive pressure requirements of personnel in the habitable area of the nuclear power plant's main control room 4 under accident conditions. In addition, the cold water storage tank 24 contains a certain amount of chilled water, which can maintain the initial water temperature of the cold coil 23 and provide the cooling capacity required for accident conditions. When the nuclear power plant's main control room emergency support system is activated, the cold water in the cold water storage tank 24 flows through the cold coil 23. The air ejector 22 draws air from the habitable area of the nuclear power plant's main control room 4 into the circulation line 21. After filtration and cooling, the air is then recirculated to the habitable area of the nuclear power plant's main control room 4. The nuclear power plant's main control room emergency support system simultaneously couples the cold storage and cooling of the habitable area of the nuclear power plant's main control room 4 to ensure the environmental conditions in the area of the nuclear power plant's main control room 4 during accident conditions. The cold water storage tank 24 is located at a high position on the cold coil 23. In the event of a power outage in the nuclear power plant's main control room 4, the cold water in the cold water storage tank 24 flows into the cold coil 23 by gravity. In addition, the pressure relief device 3 is used to relieve pressure when the main control room 4 of the nuclear power plant is overpressured. It can be installed in the lobby of the entrance and exit passage of the habitable area of the main control room 4 of the nuclear power plant. When the habitable area of the main control room 4 of the nuclear power plant is overpressured, the pressure relief device 3 can automatically open to discharge the indoor air into the lobby. The exhaust airflow has the effect of cleaning and ventilating the lobby, reducing the concentration of airborne radioactivity in the lobby during the accident, thereby reducing the amount of pollutants entering the main control room 4 of the nuclear power plant.
[0025] As can be understood, the nuclear power plant's main control room emergency support system uses compressed air as its power source. Compressed air can be stored via a compressed air storage and regulation device 1. When the system is in operation, the compressed air pressure can be adjusted within the required range. Air ejectors 22 are used to generate a certain negative pressure, inducing exhaust air from the nuclear power plant's main control room 4 to enter the circulation pipeline 21 for filtration and cooling. Cold water storage is also used as a heat sink. In the event of a loss of AC power to the nuclear power plant, this cold water storage releases cold energy, removing the exhaust heat from the nuclear power plant's main control room 4. Gravity is used as a driving force to drive the cold water storage tank 24 toward the cold coil 23. This effectively cools the air flowing through the cold coil 23 in the event of a power outage. Furthermore, a pressure relief device 3 is provided to maintain a certain positive pressure in the nuclear power plant's main control room 4 and keep the air in the corridors of the main control room 4 clean. In the event that the nuclear power plant loses its AC power supply, the nuclear power plant main control room emergency support system can maintain the habitability of the nuclear power plant main control room 4. The nuclear power plant main control room emergency support system fully adopts passive technology, which can effectively reduce the nuclear power plant main control room 4's dependence on electrical and instrumentation systems under accident conditions.
[0026] In some embodiments, the compressed air storage and regulation device 1 includes a plurality of compressed air tanks 11, a gas pipeline 12, and a gas regulating valve 13. Each compressed air tank 11 is connected to the input end of the gas pipeline 12 via a branch line 14, and the output end of the gas pipeline 12 is connected to the inlet end of the air injector 22. The gas regulating valve 13 is provided on the gas pipeline 12. The compressed air tank 11 is used to store compressed air, and the gas regulating valve 13 is used to adjust the pressure of the compressed air. Each branch line 14 is provided with a gas isolation valve 15, which is used to control the outflow and opening of the compressed air in the corresponding compressed air tank 11. In this embodiment, there are four compressed air tanks 11, and the compressed air in the four compressed air tanks 11 flows into two branch lines 14. In other embodiments, the number and arrangement of the compressed air tanks 11 and gas pipelines 12 can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0027] The air circulation filter cooling device 2 also includes a filter 25 and a muffler 26. The filter 25 and the muffler 26 are both located on the circulation line 21. The filter 25 is located downstream of the air ejector 22, and the muffler 26 is located downstream of the filter 25. The filter 25 includes a high-efficiency air filter and an iodine adsorber. The high-efficiency air filter is mainly used to capture dust particles and various suspended solids above 0.5 μm. It mainly consists of a filter element and a housing. It has high filtration efficiency, low flow resistance, and can be used continuously for a long time to reduce the cost of later consumables. The iodine adsorber can adsorb radioactive iodine pollutants in the exhaust air. In addition, a drain line 231 is connected to the cold coil 23 to drain water.
[0028] The pressure relief device 3 includes multiple pressure relief lines 31 connected to the nuclear power plant's main control room 4. Each pressure relief line 31 is equipped with a pressure relief control valve 32. When the habitable area of the nuclear power plant's main control room 4 is overpressured, the pressure relief control valve 32 can be opened to relieve pressure.
[0029] The nuclear power plant main control room emergency support system also includes a temperature sensor 5 installed in the nuclear power plant main control room 4 to measure the temperature inside the nuclear power plant main control room 4. The measured temperature data can be used to control the discharge of stored cold water. The nuclear power plant main control room emergency support system also includes a heating device 6 installed in the nuclear power plant main control room 4 to provide heat to the nuclear power plant main control room 4 to ensure that personnel can maintain normal working conditions even in low temperatures.
[0030] The nuclear power plant main control room emergency support system also includes an isolation device 7, which includes an input pipeline 71 and an output pipeline 72, both connected to the nuclear power plant main control room 4. Input pipeline 71 is equipped with an input isolation valve 73, and output pipeline 72 is equipped with an output isolation valve 74. When the nuclear power plant main control room 4 is in normal operation, the normal ventilation system can be ventilated through these input pipelines 71 and output pipelines 72. When the nuclear power plant main control room emergency support system is in operation, these input isolation valves 73 and output isolation valves 74 can be closed to prevent the normal ventilation system from interfering with and affecting the nuclear power plant main control room emergency support system.
[0031] The emergency support system of the nuclear power plant main control room also includes a protective structure located outside the nuclear power plant main control room. The protective structure refers to the walls, doors, windows, etc. that enclose the building space and can effectively resist the influence of adverse environments. The protective structure stores a certain amount of cold energy during the normal operation of the nuclear power plant main control room 4. When the nuclear power plant loses AC power, the protective structure releases cold energy to the nuclear power plant main control room 4 through natural convection and thermal radiation.
[0032] 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.
