AFW Flashcards
What are the MDAFP Auto Starts?
- Both MFP Trips (in Auto)
- AMSAC (C-20)
- Load Shed
- Low-Low SG Lvl (2/3) on 1 SG
- SI
What are the TDAFP Auto Starts?
- Undervolt on the RCP Bus (2/4 RCP busses at 88v)
- SG low low lvl (2/3) on 2 SGs
- AMSAC (C-20)
What are the MDAFP Trips?
- Load Shed
- Overload/Overcurrent
What are the TDAFP Trips?
- Electronic Overspeed (108% at 4698 rpm)
- Mechanical Overspeed (111% 4829 rpm)
What is the purpose of the AFW system?
- Maintain a minimum area of heat transfer in the SGs in order to prevent loss of PW through the Pzr Safety or Relief Valves
- TDAFPs maintain tube sheet coverage of 10 feet
What are the suction sources of the AFW pumps?
- Own CST
- Other Unit CST
- ESW
What is the purpose of the AFW flow conservation signal?
Conserves inventory and max flow to the SGs
What happens on an AFW Flow Conservation signal?
- SG Blowdown Isolations Close
- AFW Pump Test Valves Close
- MDAFP FMOs OPEN (regardless of position)
- seals in for 45 seconds to ensure the FMOs OPEN
What causes an AFW Flow Conservation Signal?
Anything that starts MDAFW pump auto start
What does the AFW flow retention signal do?
Protect against run-out after steam/feed break by limiting flow from the AFW pumps that may be supplying the faulted SG
What happens on a AFW flow retention?
Pump discharge valves throttles back
- MDAFP 575 gpm
- TDAFP 955 (975) gpm
What causes an AFW Flow Retention Signal?
High AFW pump discharge flow
Which AFW signal overrides the other? (Retention or Conservation)
Flow Retention overrides Flow Conservation
Which AFW signal overrides the other? (Flow Retention or Flow Conservation)
- Flow Retention overrides Flow Conservation
How will the Unit 1 TDAFP FMOs to SG respond on an auto start signal of a TDAFP if in standby alignment?
U1 TDAFP FMOs will not move from their throttled position
How will the Unit 2 TDAFP FMOs to SG respond on an auto start signal of a TDAFP?
U2 TDAFP FMOs will full open if they are closed, but will remain as is if throttled
What is the trip and throttle valve powered by?
N-Train
What is the TDAFP Turbine oil Cooler and Governor Oil Cooler cooled by?
TDAFP discharge
If you put the TDAFP ELO switch in Manual what will the valve do?
Stay open
How do the TDAFP ELO fail on loss of air and ctrl power?
Open
