종래의 모터 펌프를 이용한 매트용 온수보일러는 큰 유량을 공급할 수 있지만 모터 펌프의 진동과 소음이 큰 단점이 있다. 모터 펌프를 사용하지 않는 매트용 온수보일러의 경우 소음과 진동이 억제되는 장점이 있지만 감소된 유량으로 인해 매트의 온도 편차가 큰 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 펌프 없는 온수보일러가 가지고 있는 문제점을 개선하여 순환유량을 증가시킨 새로운 온수 보일러 방식을 제안하고 실험을 통해 그 성능을 입증하였다. 성능 실험 결과 순환 유량의 증가로 매트 온도 상승시간이 대폭 줄어들었으며 유입 온수와 유출 온수의 온도 편차도 많이 줄어들어 종래의 펌프 없는 온수보일러와 비교하여 성능 개선을 입증하였다.

This paper presents the root cause failure analysis of the circulating water pump in the 560 MW thermal power plant. A fractured austenitic stainless-steel shaft operated for 24 years was examined. Fracture morphology was investigated by micro and macro-fractographic analysis. The metallurgical analyses including chemical analysis, metallography and hardness testing were performed. The analysis reveals that the pump shaft was fractured due to the reverse bending load with combination of rotating bending load. Corrective actions for plant operator was recommended based on the analysis.

There are roughly a hundred types of cables in power plants. The distribution of circuits in a nuclear plant is comprised of 20% instrument cables, 61% control cables, 13% AC power cables, 1% DC power cables, and 5% communication lines. In the nuclear power plant, medium voltage cables are generally included in the scope of systems reviewed for safety and are included in a plant's maintenance program. Medium voltage cables provide power to many critical components in plants, including feed water pumps, circulating water pumps, and condensate pumps. Among these cables, high temperature sections of cables feeding electrical power to the circulating water pump and the condenser extraction pump were found. The evaluation for these cables is performed to find the maximum allowable current and temperature. The result shows that the load current flowed about 85% of the allowable current ampacity, and the temperature of conductor at full load current did not exceed the limited temperature. Therefore, existing cables for circulating water pump and condenser extraction pump system are going to be used during design life.

Digital variable structure controller(DVSC) is implemented to control the temperature for the hot water heating circulating pump control system. For the DVSC, a control algorithm is suggested, which using a nonlinear sliding surface and a PID sliding surface outside and inside of steady state error boundary layer, respectively. Smith predictor algorithm is used for the compensation of long dead time. The DVSC of the suggested algorithm yields improved control performance compared with the one of existing algorithm. The system responses with the suggested DVSC shows good responses without overshoot and steady state error inspite of heating load change. By decreasing sampling time, dead time and rise time are increasing, and system output noise by flow dynamics is amplified.

This paper presents the heating performance analysis results of a ground-source heat pump (GSHP) system using hybrid ground heat exchanger (HGHE). In this paper, the HGHE refers to the ground heat exchanger (GHE) using both a surface water heat exchanger (SWHE) and a vertical GHE. In order to evaluate the system performance, we installed monitoring sensors for measuring temperatures and power consumption, and then measured operation data with 4 different load burdened ratios of the HGHE. During the entire measurement period, the average heating capacity of the heat pump was 37.3 kW. In addition, the compressor of the heat pump consumed 9.4 kW of power, while the circulating pump of the HGHE used 6.7 kW of power. Therefore, the average heating coefficient of performance (COP) for the heat pump unit was 4.0, while the system including the circulating pump was 2.7. Finally, the parallel use of SWHE and VGHE was beneficial to the system performance; however, further researches are needed to optimize the design data for various load ratios of the HGHE.

인도네시아는 전력 공급이 매우 부족한 현실에 처해 있으며, 이에 대한 해결책으로 화력발전소 건설 계획이 증가하고 있다. 화력발전소는 발전에 수반되는 엔진과 장비의 과열을 식히기 위해 냉각수 계통을 필요로 하며, 냉각수 계통 중 순환수 취수펌프장(circulating water pump chamber)은 일반적으로 ANSI (1998) 기준에 따라 설계된다. 본 연구에서는 인도네시아 K-석탄화력발전소의 순환수취수펌프장이 현장 여건상 ANSI (1998)의 확산각 설계기준 $20^{\circ}$를 만족시킬 수 없어, 수리적으로 안정된 흐름 및 구조물이 되도록 3차원 수치모형실험을 수행하였다. 수치모형으로 Flow-3D 모형을 이용하였다. Flow-3D 모형의 적용성을 검토하기 위해 Rodi (1997)의 사각형 구조물 주변에 형성되는 흐름 연구 결과와 금회 수치해석 결과를 비교하였다. 수치해석에서 도출된 종방향 유속 분포는 잘 일치함을 보여주고 있다. 순환수취수펌프장 내 설계유속을 만족시키기 위해 유속 저감에 유리한 사각형 형태의 배플을 적용하였다. 순환수취수펌프장으로 유입되는 유속이 1.5 m/s ~ 2.5 m/s로 분포되는 경우, 배플에서 분리흐름의 각도는 약 $15^{\circ}{\sim}20^{\circ}$로 발생하였다. 이를 고려하여 분리흐름 각도 이하로 하류에 배플을 배치함으로 Inlet bay 설계유속 0.5 m/s 이하를 만족시켰다.

The objective of this study is to investigate the suitable design for a domestic Circulating water pump(CWP), which is used in cooling-water intakes for the unit 3 and 4 of Yeonggwang nuclear power plant. All the simulations are performed, using CFD method with a commercial code STAR-CCM+ version 3.02. After modeling a present design of the pump, the flow around the rotating blade was calculated by using quasi-static method and sliding mesh method with the almost same condition as an actual state. Based on fundamental simulations with various depth of sea water, the reference pressure for the boundary condition of the present study was decided. To verify the reliability of the calculation results, the suction flow rate of the data was compared with that of the experimental data. As a result of this comparison, it is confirmed that two results are fairly consistent. For the improvement of the suction flow rate, computational analysis was done by changing a flow channel and blade shapes. It is shown that the suction flow rate of the new pump was improved.

This paper presents the heating performance analysis results of a heat pump system using a dual heat source. In this paper, a dual heat source refers to the ground-coupled heat exchanger using both a surface water heat exchanger (SWHE) and a vertical ground heat exchanger (VGHE). In order to evaluate the system performance, we installed a monitoring system to measure the temperature and power consumption of a heat pump and then collected operation data with 4 different load burdened ratios of the dual heat source heat exchanger. During the whole measurement period, the average heating capacity of a water-to-water heat pump unit was 37.3 kW. In addition, the compressor of the heat pump consumed 9.4 kW of power, while the circulating pump of the dual heat source heat exchanger used 6.7 kW of power. Therefore the average heating coefficient of performance (COP) for the heat pump unit was 4.0, while the entire system including the circulating pump was 2.7. Finally, the parallel use of SWHE and VGHE was beneficial to the system performance; however, further researches are needed to optimize the design data for various load ratios of the dual heat source heat exchanger.

발전소의 주요시설 중 발전 시스템 냉각용으로 사용되는 순환수는 순환수 취수부(Circulation Water Intake Basin)를 통해 공급된다. 순환수 취수부 중 흡입수조(Pump Sump)에서 발생하는 다양한 형태의 와류는 순환수펌프(Circulation Water Pump) 및 관로에 악영향을 미친다. 특히, 공기의 흡입을 동반한 자유표면 와류는 진동, 소음, 공동현상 등을 발생시켜 순환수펌프의 성능 저하, 관로의 손상을 일으키며 발전이 중단되는 주요 원인이 된다. 따라서 수리모형 실험을 통해 순환수 취수부에 대한 수리특성을 반드시 확인하고, 와류 발생 시 와류를 제어할 수 있는 적절한 와류제어장치(Anti Vortex Device)를 적용하여 원활한 발전소 운영이 가능하도록 해야 한다. 자유표면 와류 저감을 위해 와류제어장치 중커튼월(Curtain Wall)을 사용하는 것이 일반적이며, 자세한 내용은 American National Standard for Pump Intake Design에서 기술하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 리비아 Tripoli West 4×350 MW 발전소의 순환수 취수부를 대상으로 하였으며, 실제 운영조건을 적용하고, 수리모형 실험을 통해 순환수 취수부 중 흡입수조에서 발생하는 와류제어장치의 와류저감 효과를 분석하였다. 또한, 수중와류 제어를 위해 플로어 스플리터(floor splitter)는 기본적으로 적용하였고, 자유표면에서 발생하는 와류제어를 위해 새로운 형태인 컬럼 커튼월(Column Curtain Wall)을 추가적으로 적용하여 효과를 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는 일반적으로 적용되었던 커튼월에 새로 개발한 컬럼 커튼월을 추가적으로 적용하여 수리특성을 분석한 결과, 균일한 흐름이 형성되면서 와류가 제어되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 순환수펌프 관로 내에서 발생하는 와류각도는 ANSI/HI 9.8의 설계기준인 5° 이하로 나타나 흐름의 안정성을 확인하였다.

To assess the deterioration condition of stator insulation, diagnostic and overpotential tests were performed on two high voltage(HV) motors for circulating water pump (CWP). Following the long term rewinding program, the diagnostic test was performed on two motors during the planning maintenance period. After completing the diagnostic test, overpotential test was done on the stator windings of HV motors. During the overpotential test, the No. 1 and No. 2 of HV motors failed at 8.8 kV and 7.9 kV, respectively. Stator windings of two HV motors had deteriorated significantly.
