HF-Fuel Building HVAC Flashcards
What is the purpose of the Fuel Building HVAC?
provides a controlled temperature environment to ensure personnel comfort and safety and to ensure equipment integrity
What are the two separate HVAC subsystems in the Fuel Building?
Normal- during normal plant operation only
Essential-only in the event of a fuel handling accident or LOCA
Why do we keep Fuel Building HVAC at a negative pressure?
to avoid a potential unmonitored release to the environment
What does the fuel building provide negative pressure to during a SIAS?
Auxiliary Building below the 100’ elevation
What is the function of the normal fuel building HVAC?
Ensure the operability of Fuel Building equipment
Provide the required ventilation to maintain the level of airborne radioactivity
What is the function of the fuel building essential HVAC?
Limit the potential release of radioactive iodine
Function during and after an Safe Shutdown Earthquake
Not allow any single failure in the subsystem to impair the system’s ability to comply with safety design bases one and two
What is the normal op path of the fuel building HVAC?
outside air is filtered, adiabatically cooled or heated by ACU then supplied to the different areas of the fuel building
What is the flow path of the NORMAL fuel building exhaust air?
Exhaust air is Exhausted by Fans
What is the Fuel Building HVAC line up during a FBEVAS?
normal supply AHUs and exhaust Fans are stopped
Fuel Building is automatically isolated by dampers
Air in build exhausted through the Essential AFUs to atmosphere.
Makeup air is drawn in through gaps in the build.
What is the Fuel Build HVAC line up during a SIAS or SIAS/FBEVAS?
Essential Exhaust AFUs automatically start
air intake dampers below 100’ Aux Build open
intake air damper from the Fuel Building close
Essential Exhaust AFUs maintain a slightly negative pressure
What takes precedence over a FBEVAS?
SIAS
How is the fuel building normal HVAC effected during a SIAS?
It is not. It runs normally
What powers the Fuel Building AFU heaters?
NG-480 VAC LC
What powers the Fuel Building HVAC system components (fans, pumps, etc.)?
NH-480 VAC MCC
What powers Normal Fuel Building duct heater control circuits?
NK-125VDC
