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 (< 5% U1) (< 22% U2)
- 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
Where is the swith for CRV-51 (CST X-Tie) located?
- U1 CR
How does CRV-51 fail on loss of ctrl air?
- Closed
Can CRV-51 (CST X-tie) be manually operated?
Yes, operated locally by unlocking clutch pushing in t-handle and rotating handhwheel
What are the suction sources of the AFW pumps?
- Own CST
- Other Unit CST
- ESW
What does the AFW flow conservation signal do?
- Conserves inventory and max flow to the SGs.
What happens on a 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 a 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 ***
What happens on a AFW flow retention?
- Pump discharge valves throttles back
MDAFP - 575 gpm
TDAFP - 955(975) gpm
What causes a AFW Flow Retention Signal?
- Upon sensing a 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
