Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nuclear power technology, and in particular to a steam reuse device for nuclear power plants. Background Technology
[0002] When the steam turbine generator of a nuclear power plant is operating, it produces a portion of water. This water is relatively low in temperature, but direct discharge would be wasteful. Therefore, this water is reused by sending it to the high-pressure heater and / or condenser. However, the water flow pipeline currently lacks monitoring of this water, resulting in excessive water flow and pressure, which affects the high-pressure heater and / or condenser equipment. The high-pressure heater and condenser equipment are expensive to build and have high maintenance and replacement costs. Utility Model Content

The end of the first condensate pipeline away from the common pipeline is connected to a high-pressure heater, and the end of the second condensate pipeline away from the common pipeline is connected to a condenser.
[0005] The first drainage pipe is provided with a first pressure gauge, a first check valve, a first pressure regulating valve, a first isolation valve, a first regulating valve, and a second isolation valve in sequence from the end closest to the common pipe to the end furthest from the common pipe;
