Abstract

PURPOSE: To prevent a sticking foreign matter which is removed from scattering when removing by cleaning the foreign matter from the inner wall surface of piping such as a heat transfer tube used on a nuclear power plant, and prevent radioactive pollutants from spreading and protect maintenance crew against such pollutants, by cutting short a working time to reduce an exposure to radioactivity and inhibiting the generation of radioactive dust, especially when removing radioactive sticking foreign matter by cleaning. CONSTITUTION: This intratube cleaning device is equipped with a head 16 which is inserted into a tube to be cleaned and is filled with a cleaning fluid internally. This head 16 is equipped with a rotor 44 with a fin which rotates by the flow of the cleaning fluid, and a brush unit 66 for cleaning the interior of the tube is fixed to the outer surface of the rotor. The cleaning fluid after passing through the fin is ejected to the inner surface of the tube ahead of the brush unit 66 by a nozzle hole 64 formed on a cap located at the tip of the head.

2. Description of the Related Art Heat transfer pipes of heat exchangers and pipes in chemical plants and the like need to be cleaned regularly because they are contaminated by a medium flowing inside. The pipes that require such cleaning include the heat transfer pipes of the tube heat exchanger in the primary system of the nuclear power plant that has started operation, and the inside of the heat transfer pipes contains contaminated radioactive materials. Be composed and adhere. If such deposits adhere to the inner wall surface of the pipe, the heat transfer efficiency of the heat transfer pipe will be significantly impaired, and the radiation equivalent rate of the atmosphere around the heat exchanger will increase, which may cause patrol personnel during plant operation and workers performing regular inspection work. This is a waste of radiation. Therefore, especially before inspecting the heat exchanger during its service period and before performing work such as repair or replacement of the heat exchanger, dismantling, and cutting, completely remove these deposits, which are radiation sources, from the heat transfer tubes. It needs to be removed.

Conventionally, various cleaning methods have been carried out because of the necessity of cleaning the inside of the heat transfer tubes of this type. For example, system flushing cleaning is known in which the flow velocity in the system during normal operation of the heat exchanger described above is slightly increased. However, even if the flow velocity in the system is increased, the impact force to the deposits on the inner wall surface of the pipe is extremely small, and therefore the removal efficiency is low. Therefore, a dissolution treatment method by chemical injection flushing is also considered. In the case of this chemical injection flushing, there is a problem that a great amount of labor and cost are spent for waste liquid treatment of the chemical after use, and further, there is a problem that it is difficult to completely remove deposits.

From such a point of view, as a method for mechanically removing the deposits on the inner wall surface of the pipe, a brush cleaning method and a method utilizing impact energy of high pressure water have been tried.
The former is a method in which a polishing tool such as a brush is attached to the tip of an elongated rod, and it is inserted into the heat transfer tube and mechanically scraped off to remove it.The latter is a nozzle inserted inside the heat transfer tube and the high pressure water Is a method of colliding with the inner wall surface of the pipe to destroy adhered foreign substances and cleaning.

However, although the brush cleaning method is superior to the above-described flushing method in that it can remove the deposits in the pipe better, most of the deposits removed by the brushing become dust,
Especially when replacing polishing tools such as brushes with the next heat transfer tube,
There is a problem that dust is scattered into the atmosphere and the radioactivity concentration in the air at the work place is increased. In addition, the latter high-pressure water cleaning method has a lower ability to remove adhered substances than the brush cleaning method, and therefore the combination method of performing high-pressure water cleaning and then brush cleaning is inevitable. Therefore, there is a drawback that cleaning work efficiency is poor. If the cleaning work time is long, especially if the heat exchanger for nuclear power generation is to be cleaned, the radiation equivalent becomes large and there is a problem in safety.

According to the above construction, when high-pressure water is supplied to the inside of the head with the head inserted in the pipe, the fins in the flow path inside the head are rotated by the flowing water energy. As a result, the rotary body integrated with the fins is driven to rotate, and a cleaning body such as a brush provided on the outer periphery of the rotary body rubs the inner wall surface of the pipe to perform cleaning work. At the same time, since the head is provided with a nozzle for spraying the cleaning fluid that has passed through the fins, the cleaning fluid is sprayed at a high pressure onto the front inner wall surface of the cleaning region by the cleaning body such as a brush. As a result, the debris is destroyed and removed by the impact force of the high-pressure water. Since the jet cleaning and the wet cleaning by brushing are performed at the same time and the power for rotationally driving the brushing is performed by using the high pressure cleaning fluid energy, it is possible to obtain a cleaning apparatus having high working efficiency and energy efficiency.

In such an embodiment, by supplying the high-pressure cleaning liquid, the impact energy destruction cleaning by the nozzle injection and the wet brush cleaning by the rotation of the brush unit 66 can be simultaneously performed to automatically continue the cleaning work. it can. Further, since the cleaning is performed in the sealed area inside the heat transfer tube 12, radioactive substances are not scattered in the atmosphere of the work place.

Further, in the finned rotary member 44 mounted on the cleaning head 16, an annular ring 48 portion thereof is in sliding contact with the chamber front end wall 38 and the peripheral end portion of the cap 42. Seals 58R and 58F are provided to enable high speed sliding while preventing leakage of high pressure water. A thin groove (not shown) through which high-pressure water penetrates is provided on the seal mounting surface side of this sliding surface, and the high-pressure water performs the functions of lubrication and cooling. This prevents the occurrence of image sticking.

While supplying the high-pressure cleaning liquid, the brush unit 66 is rotated by using this high-pressure cleaning liquid to rotate the heat transfer tube 12
Since the cleaning liquid supplied to the jet is prevented from flowing backward to the flexible pipe 14 side so as to seal the cleaning area, the extension direction of the heat transfer pipe 12 extends in any direction. In this case, the cleaning can be started regardless of the extension direction, and the cleaning work can be performed regardless of the direction or the posture of the heat transfer tube 12.

As described above, according to the pipe cleaning apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to automatically and simultaneously perform the jet cleaning and the wet wiping cleaning without scattering the removed deposits in the atmosphere. Therefore, the pipe cleaning work can be efficiently performed in a short time. In particular, when the object to be cleaned is a heat transfer tube of a nuclear power plant, there is an excellent effect that the radioactive material is not scattered into the atmosphere, the radiation exposure amount can be reduced, and the spread of pollution can be prevented.
