Optionally, the system further includes a voltage stabilizer 50, the voltage stabilizer 50 is disposed on the first connecting tube 20, and the voltage stabilizer 50 is located in the safety shell.
In an implementation, the pressurizer 50 is a device that stabilizes the loop pressure during normal plant operation. The regulator 50 is an important component of the cooling circuit during operation of the system.
Optionally, the system further comprises a first pressure relief valve 60 disposed on top of the pressure stabilizer 50, wherein the first pressure relief valve 60 is used for connecting or disconnecting the first connection pipe 20. Wherein, the quantity of first pressure relief valve 60 can be two, and two first pressure relief valves 60 are parallelly connected to be set up, through setting up two first pressure relief valves 60 to improve the reliability of system.
In specific implementation, under the condition of an accident condition, an operator judges according to the state of a power plant, when heat extraction on the secondary side of a steam generator is required to be started but the starting fails, the first pressure relief valve 60 is opened, and the first valve, the second valve, the third valve and the fourth valve are opened according to the sequence, at the moment, the first connecting pipe 20 and the second connecting pipe 30 are in a communicated state, and heat in the pressure container 10 enters the heat exchanger 40 through the voltage stabilizer 50 and the first connecting pipe 20 to be cooled; when the secondary side heat rejection system is available, the first pressure relief valve 60 is in a closed state and the system is not in use.
In another alternative embodiment, the first pressure relief valve 60 may be an automatic pressure relief valve, and when it is detected that the steam generator secondary side heat rejection system needs to be started but fails, the first pressure relief valve 60 is opened and the system starts to operate. By setting the first pressure relief valve 60 as an automatic pressure relief valve, the operation state of the secondary side heat extraction system is monitored, and the switch of the system is controlled, so that the situation that an operator mistakenly starts the equipment or the starting time is untimely is avoided, and the automation degree of the system is improved.
