  • VC-10

Skid mounted 4-cylinder compressors with condensers

Capacity – 554,400 BTU/HR = 46.2 tons of refrigeration

60 Hp motor

25
Q

How is VC-10/11 controlled?

A

Compressor loading/capacity is based on thermostats in the Control Room:

  • < 70ºF – Compressor will turn off.
  • 70ºF - 73ºF – One cylinder is loaded.
  • 73 ºF - 76 ºF – Two cylinders are loaded
  • > 76 ºF – All four cylinders are loaded
26
Q

What is the function of the Hot Gas Bypass Valve, PCV-1675 (PCV‑1676)?

A

PCV-1675 (PCV‑1676)

  • Maintains a minimum compressor suction pressure under low cooling load conditions.
  • The lower coil is always in service. This creates an artificial load that is sensed at the cooling coil outlet by the temperature controller.
  • This load causes the thermostatic expansion valve to open and inject more refrigerant into lower cooling coil, which maintains a minimum compressor suction pressure.
  • Hot Gas Bypass Mode will maintain suction pressure between 55 psig to 65 psig.
27
Q

What provide the heat removal to VC-10/11 and how is it controlled?

A

Critical Service Water

  • VC-10 - ‘A’ Header
  • VC-11 - ‘B’ Header

CV-1655 (CV‑1656) controls based on shell side pressure of the condensing unit.

As load (air temperature) rises, shell side pressure rises, which opens the cooling water regulating valve and subsequently lowers the condenser temperature and pressure

28
Q

What happens on a loss of instrument air, ac power, or dc power to VC-10/11?

A

Unit Trips

Low Suction Pressure when CV-1655/1666 fails open.

Upon loss of Instrument Air or DC Power to operating train, CRHVAC will fail to the RECIRC mode if in any mode other than emergency.

29
Q

How do CHP and CHR interact with VC-10/11?

A

CHP/CHR shuts down Condensing Units

If cooling is required, control switch must be taken to CHP/CHR OVRD position.

30
Q

What is the power supply and function of V-94, Purge Fan?

A

Power Supply – MCC-79

Purpose is to evacuate smoke and/or noxious gas from the Control Room envelope.

Both Control Room AHUs must be available for the Purge Fan to start

31
Q

How do CHP and CHR interact with the V-94, Purge Fan?

A

Purge Mode is blocked during Emergency Operation (CHP/CHR)

  • Unable to maintain Control Room pressure during purge

If running in Purge Mode, actuation of a CHP OR CHR will trip the Purge Fan

32
Q

What interlocks are associated with V-94, Purge Fan?

A

Dampers D-15, D-16 and D-3 (D-10) are interlocked to the start of V-94

  • D-15 & D-16 OPEN, D-3 (D-10) CLOSE
33
Q

How does outside air temperature, impact the Condensing Unit when placing the Control Room HVAC System in the Purge Mode?

A

Usually only a concern if the unit is out of service and the oil heater is not energized.

  • If operating in Purge Mode and outside air temperature is less than 70°F, compressor operation should be avoided.
  • Freon has an affinity for cold and could be absorbed in the oil and eventually condense into a liquid.
  • Upon starting of the unit damage could occur to the compressor.
34
Q

What is the capcaity and interlocks associated with the toilet exhaust system?

A
  • Fan V-16 – 160 CFM
  • Isolation Dampers D-17, D-18, TD-6 open when fan is started
  • V-16 exhausts to roof by SIRW tank, opposite from RGEM
  • Control of V-16 is by a hand switch in restroom
35
Q

How do CHP and CHR interact with the Toilet Exhaust System?

A

Trips on a CHP/CHR, OR start of either V‑26A/B Fan

  • Aligns system for Control Room pressurization

  • One in each normal air inlet (2)
  • One in each emergency air inlet (2)
  • One in Purge Exhaust Duct
  • One in Toilet Exhaust Duct

Close on reverse air flow

42
Q

  • Operate by melting a fusible link at 165°F
    • Damper CD-49 (CD-51) fusible link has been replaced with a higher temperature fusible link (212°F) due to location in duct
    • Link is located just downstream of the steam distributor for the humidifier
43
Q

What are the operating requirements for Continuous Air Monitors (CAM) RIA-1818A/B?

A

Not Saftey Related, No Automatic Functions

Operation of a CRHVAC train with a CAM out of service is only allowed in the emergency mode per SOP-24.

44
Q

Why is there an OFF/RESET position for V-96/96 Control Switch?

A

OFF/RESET

  • AHUs receive a trip signal during load shed.
  • When the sequencer (either Shutdown or DBA) sends a start signal to the AHU, the load shed trip is cleared.
  • On sequencer failure, the load shed trip is locked in and the AHU wil not start in either AUTO or ON

Resets the Load Shed circuitry and allows starting of the AHU.

45
Q

What equipment is in operation during ‘A’ Train in service Recirculation Mode?

A

D-1, 2, 3, 17 and 18 are Open. D-2 is Closed.

Cannot maintain positive pressure.

  • -D-6, 7, 15, and 16 are closed
  • -V-95 in service with VC-11 cooling
  • -V-16 in service
  • RIA’s not in the flow path therefore will not detect adverse radiological conditions
  • -Need SM or SED permission to go to Recirc Mode
46
Q

How does CHP/CHR and Load Shed impact V-95/96 with the Control Switch in Auto?

A

Load shed and Sequencer (NSD or DBA) circuitry places the Air Handling Units in the same condition they were in before the loss of power 55 seconds after the bus is re-energized.

If in AUTO and CHP/CHR

  • V-95/96 will start after a 1 minute time delay
47
