List the 676 Air Compressors
676-M-1 and 676-M-2
What are the major components of the 676 air system that supplies TRA 670?
Air Compressors (M-1/M-2)
Glycol Pumps (M-3 through M-6)
Fluid Coolers (M-7/M-8)
Air Dryers (M-9/M-10)
UH-5/UH-6)
Draw the TRA-676 Air System.
Draw simplified TRA-676 Air System.
How does the 676 air system function (lead/lag)?
Upon low pressure, lead compressor starts to restore pressure.
Operates in variable speed to maintain at setpoint. If pressure remains below low pressure setpoint, lag compressor starts and supplies additional air.
If both lead and lag are running, when high pressure setpoint is reached, lag compressor unloads.
If high pressure remains in for long enough, lead compressor will also unload.
After a programmed time, delay, compressor shuts off.
How many 676 air dryers are there?
There are two 676 air dryers: M-9 and M-10
How many 676 oil/water separators are there?
There are two 676 oil/water separators
Describe the operation of the glycol fluid cooling system for 676.
Two identical systems. Two cross-ties enabled either skid to cool either air compressor.
What are the 676 power supplies?
676-E-2 powers:
676-M-1 Compressor
676-M-3/4 glycol pumps
676-M-8 Glycol Fluid Cooler
676-M-9 Air Dryer
UH-5 Heater
676-E-3 powers:
676-M-2 Compressor
676-M-5/6 glycol pumps
676-M-7 Glycol Fluid Cooler
676-M-10 Air Dryer
UH-6 Heater
What components are supplied by the 670 instrument air system?
Pneumatic instruments
Control panels
Reg Valves
Bubblers
Door Seals
H&V Dampers
Emergency shutdown for M-43 (AMOT)
M-43 barring mechanism
What is the backup for door seal pressurization if instrument air is lost to 670?
Nitrogen bottles backup instrument air to the door seals.
What is the function of the Canal Area Mezzanine Air Tanks?
Three tanks used to reopen dampers after a loss of IA.
Which door seal is fed by Instrument Air?
Door 51
What components are supplied by 670 plant air system?
Air sparge to bypass demins
HP starting air backup (both M-43 and M-6)
Reactor instruments thimble purge
Service outlets
What is the sequence of events during a loss of instrument air?
Per AOP-6.1:
N-16 suction valves shut and discharge valve opens on loss of IA (cavitation)
LO Alarm at 120 psig
LOLO Alarm at 95 psig
Manual Rx Scram at 85 psig
Additional actions required if cannot maintain above 65 psig
