[0023] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a desalination device for the secondary loop makeup water of a small to medium-sized nuclear power plant, including... Hydrate feedstock input end, hydrate generation and decomposition component connected to the hydrate feedstock input end, and product output end connected to the hydrate generation and decomposition component.

[0024] The hydrate feedstock input includes a CO2 gas station 1 and a cyclopentane container 2. A booster pump 3 is installed in the conveying line between the CO2 gas station 1 and the hydrate formation and decomposition assembly. A first conveying pump 4 (cyclopentane pump) is installed in the conveying line between the cyclopentane container 2 and the hydrate formation and decomposition assembly.

[0025] The hydrate generation and decomposition assembly includes a hydrate generation reactor 5 connected to the hydrate raw material input end, a separator 6 connected to the output end of the hydrate generation reactor 5, and a hydrate decomposition reactor 7 connected to the separator 6.

[0026] The input end of the hydrate generation reactor 5 is connected to a feedwater container 8, and a second transfer pump 9 (feedwater pump) is installed along the transport route between the feedwater container 8 and the hydrate generation reactor 5. As mentioned above, the water source in the feedwater container 8 can come from a pool within the power plant or be introduced from seawater.

[0027] The hydrate formation reactor 5 is connected to a cooler 10. Specifically, the cooler 10 is a refrigerator used to meet the reaction temperature required for hydrate formation.

[0028] The hydrate generation reactor 5 and the hydrate decomposition reactor 7 can be existing hydrate reactors. The hydrate generation reactor 5 is a pressure-resistant reactor, and the hydrate reactor 7 is an atmospheric pressure reactor. The atmospheric pressure reactor can be a jacketed reactor.

[0029] Separator 6 is specifically selected as a hydrocyclone separator, which facilitates the separation of solid hydrates and liquids.

[0030] The output of separator 6 is connected to brine collection container 11.

[0031] The first port of the hydrate decomposition reactor 7 has a heat transfer medium inlet, and the second port of the hydrate decomposition reactor 7 has a heat transfer medium outlet. The aforementioned heat transfer medium comes from the waste heat of the secondary loop of the nuclear power plant. The waste heat of the secondary loop steam comes from the low-pressure, low-temperature steam after the main steam drives the turbine and is discharged through the condenser. The temperature is about 30~60℃, which is sufficient for the decomposition of solid hydrates.

[0032] The product output end includes a separator 12, and a first output end and a second output end connected to the separator 12. The first output end is connected to the cyclopentane container 2 at the hydrate feedstock input end, and the second output end is connected to the secondary loop makeup water system and the feedwater container 8. The separator 12 is a gravity separator.

[0033] The second output end's delivery line is sequentially equipped with a detection unit 13 and branch lines. The branch lines are equipped with solenoid valves and are connected to the secondary loop makeup water system and the water supply container 8, respectively. The detection unit 13 is equipped with a conductivity meter to detect the total concentration of dissolved ions in the demineralized water. If the secondary loop makeup water requirement is met, the demineralized water is delivered to the secondary loop makeup water system; if the requirement is not met, the demineralized water is delivered to the water supply container 8, or further processed through ion exchange resin to remove anions and cations from the demineralized water. After conductivity measurement to ensure the makeup water requirement is met, it is then delivered to the secondary loop makeup water system.

[0034] A contact conductivity sensor can be specifically selected for the conductivity meter to continuously measure the conductivity of demineralized water. Regular calibration is important during use.

[0035] The aforementioned booster pump 3, first delivery pump 4, second delivery pump 9, electric valve, conductivity meter, etc., can all be automatically controlled using existing PLC programs.

[0036] The working process of the desalination device for secondary loop makeup water in small and medium-sized nuclear power plants provided by this utility model is as follows: CO2 from CO2 gas station 1 and cyclopentane from cyclopentane container 2 are respectively fed into hydrate generation reactor 5, and water from feedwater container 8 is fed into hydrate generation reactor 5. The temperature of hydrate generation reactor 5 is maintained at approximately 2-4°C under the control of a chiller. Hydrate is generated by the stirring action of a stirring device installed in hydrate generation reactor 5. The hydrate enters a hydrocyclone separator, where the solid hydrate is transported to hydrate decomposition reactor 7, and the brine is transported to brine collection container 11. In hydrate decomposition reactor 7, the solid hydrate is decomposed by heat under the action of a heat medium to obtain CO2, cyclopentane, and demineralized water. CO2 is transported to CO2 gas station 1 via a pipeline. Cyclopentane and demineralized water are separated by a gravity separator. Cyclopentane is transported to cyclopentane container 2 via a pipeline, and demineralized water is transported to the secondary loop makeup water system or reused in feedwater container 8 via a pipeline.

[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
