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
What are the suction sources of the AFW pumps?
- Own CST
- Other Unit CST
- Condensate Hotwells
- 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
Which AFW signal overrides the other? (Retention or Conservation)
- Flow Retention overrides Flow Conservation
How will the Unit 1 TDAFP FMOs to SG respond on an auto start signal of a TDAFP?
- 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
HOWEVER - They will not reposition if they are already throttled on when an auto start signal is received*
What is the trip and throttle valve powered by?
- N-Train
