Title: STEAM GENERATOR TEST (1A LOOP, FOSTER-WHEELER STEAM GENERATOR). CORE 1, SEED 2. Test Results T-643701. Section 3

Abstract

A test was made to determine the effect of varying the boiler water level between +5 and --3.0 in. on the downcomer flow rates for the lA steam generator. The downcomer flow was appreciably reduced when the boiler water level was below +3.5 in., and the flow in the first downcomer at the heat exchsngsr inlet was less than 25% of its high drum level flow. To prevent reduction of downcomer flow, repair welds of downcomer baffle seals and baffle installation over two downcomers are recommended. (D.L.C.)
