Nuclear power stations | ||
Plant that produce electric energy by
converting the binding energy of atomic nuclei. In plant of this type, the boiler of a
steam power station is replaced by a nuclear reactor. The heat released by the process of
nuclear fission inside the reactor converts water into the steam which drives the
turbines. Generators coupled with the turbines produce the electric energy. Nuclear power
stations are classified by types of reactor (nuclear reactor).
All the pumps in nuclear power stations can be equipped with mechanical seals: |
main coolant pumps,HP feed pumps, auxiliary feed pumps, core flood pumps, core spray pumps, concentrate pumps, coolant cleaning pumps, cooling or cooling water pumps, storage well circulation pumps, recooling pumps, low-pressure feed pumps, emergency condensate pumps, emergency cooling pumps, emergency feed pumps, nuclear intermediate cooling pumps, reactor chamber flood pumps, feedback pumps, safety feed pumps, feed water pumps, buffer water leakage pumps, buffer water pumps, control rod pumps, sump pumps, independent safety and sabotage pumps, vaporizer condensate pumps, backing pumps (booster pumps), preliminary heating pumps, washing water pumps, water separator condensate pumps, water separator pumps, intermediate cooling circuit pumps. |
