Experimental Investigation on Power Consumption in Reactor Coolant Pumps with the Function of the Flywheel

Abstract:

This article mainly discusses the dynamic characteristics of the experimental rotor system under the abrupt power shut circumstances, and to search the distribution of the power consumption during special working processes with an experimental method. On the basis of the experimental results, the simulation analysis is carried out on the Andritz RCP, and therefore, the dynamic characteristics of the real nuclear reactor coolant pump can be forecast, which just meets the need of the safety running in nuclear plant.
