Circulating Water Systems without Valves
Abstract
An analysis of the performance and operational problems of a circulating water cooling system for a large nuclear thermo-generating plant, where one pump serves a conduit and a surface condenser. The analysis covers: (1) the effect that the dissolved air of the intake water has on the time required to prime the system; (2) hydraulic transients that occur in a primed system after starting a circulating water pump with falling power characteristics; (3) influence of vacuum breaker operation on the hydraulic transients occurring in the system after pump tripout; and (4) additional equipment needed for successful operation of the system.
