Development of the Diagnostic System for the Performance of Air-Operated Valves

공기구동밸브 성능 진단 장비 개발

In order to ensure the safety, the performance evaluation of the safety-related components in a nuclear power plant such as air-operated valves. In this paper, the diagnostic system(MOVIDS $A^+$) for the performance of air-operated valves was developed. For this purpose, the characteristics of their operation and the methods of the diagnostic tests were reviewed. The setup and diagnostic functions of the system were mentioned. Its applicability was validated through the diagnostic tests of air-operated valves in nuclear power plants. This diagnostic system is now applied in nuclear power plants for performance tests.
