Abstract:
The article discusses the design and operation modes of the regenerative heat exchanger (RHE) in the steam generator (SG) blowdown and drainage system (LCQ) at Novovoronezh NPP-II 1 and 2 (Project AES-2006). The results of mathematical modeling of the RHE operating modes are presented in order to identify the causes of its low efficiency. Based on the results of the commissioning of the SG blowdown and drainage system at NvNPP-II 1, as well as the thermohydraulic calculations of the RHE operating modes, the authors put forward assumptions regarding changes in the rerouting of the piping (Volnov et al. 2017, Yaurov et al. 2017). According to their proposals, the RHE piping was upgraded at NvNPP-II 2. The upgrading in the RHE piping was implemented first at NvNPP-II 2 at the stage of installing the systems and, after the expected result was confirmed, it was applied in April 2020 at NvNPP-II 1. In addition, the authors carried out a comparative analysis of the results of testing the thermohydraulic characteristics of RHEs of the blowdown and drainage system for NvNPP-II 1 (before upgrading, after upgrading in scheduled maintenance 2020) and NvNPP-II 2. These improvements made it possible to achieve more efficient operation of the RHE in the SG blowdown and drainage system and the system as a whole.
