TRANSIENT PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF THE S3G/S4G DEAERATING FEED TANK

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4340496
A theoretical analysis of the transient performance of the S3G/S4G deaerating feed tank during up-power maneuvers is presented. The criteria of satinfaotory performance are based on maintaining an adequate net positive suction head on the inlet of the feed booster pump to prevent cavitation of the booster pump during design power excursions of the main propulsion turbine and its auxiliaries. Excessive feed booster pump cavitation will cause loss of main feed pump pressure. This action will close the steam drum atop valves and finally result in reactor shutdown. (W.D.M.)
