Term

Station Air

 

Purpose

Definition

Supplies the station with reliable, clean, oil-free compressed air for use in the following systems:

1.Service Air

2. Control Air

3. Penitration Cooling Backup Supply

Term

Station Air

 

Design Basis

Definition

Supplies the Control Air System even in the event of a single failure. Must supply air from redundant sources so that the loss of an air header or compressor does not result in shutdown of the plant or compramise of its operation.

 

Penitration lines must have at least 1 containment isolation valve that is either automatic or locked closed. System includes ability to test containment penetration line leakage.

Term

Name the 5 Loops of operation for the SACs

through the use of the Inlet Guide Vane Valve and the Blow Off Valve.

Definition

Inlet Max Load Loop: Max guide vane opening to limit FLA

Inlet System Pressure Loop: Modulates guide vane valve to maintain system pressure.

Inlet Surge Control Loop: Modulates guide vane valve to prevent low flow surge.

Blow Off System Pressure Loop: Blow Off Valve Modulates to relieve system pressure.

Max Discharge Pressure Loop: In case of a sudden increase in System pressure, a rapid discharge from the Blow Off Valve or unloading of the compressor.

 

Term

What mode of operation is used for the Salem SAC Systems?

 

Definition
Only the Auto-Offline operating Mode consisting of 5 Control Loops
Term

Name the 3 operating Setpoints for the SAC...

 

At What pressures do they come online.

Definition

Lead SP: 110 PSIG

Follow SP: 105 PSIG

Follow-Follow SP: 100 PSIG

 

Actuates 5 PSI below SP for 5 seconds.

Term
If a SAC is in Auto and comes online how long will it stay unloaded before it will shut down
Definition
20 Minutes
Term
State the purpose and operation of ST5 valves
Definition

Provides SW Cooling Water to the SAC

 

ST5 opens upon Breaker Closure (SAC Start)

ST5 Closes 30 minutes breaker open (SAC Stop)

 

Fails open upon loss of Control air

Term
Which Buses Supply power to the SAC
Definition

#1 SAC = 1H6D

#2 SAC = 2G1D

#3 SAC = 1G1D

Term
SAC Lube Oil System
Definition

55g resivoir

Resivoir Heater maintains 80-120 F

2 Oil Pumps: MOP and AOP

AOP runs when SAC Breaker is open or Low oil preassure SP of 80 psig or Low-Low of 70 psig

 

AOP Shuts off when oil header builds to >125 psig (MOP up to speed)

Term

Control Air

 

Purpose

Definition
Provide clean, reliable, oil-free compressed air to Safety and Non-Safety related pneumatically operated instruments and control valves.
Term
Control Air system is designed to...
Definition
Supply Control air to both units for 4 hours in the event of a BO on one unit and the loss of C Vital bus on the other unit via the Station blackout air compressor.
Term
ECAC NRC Commitment...
Definition
Units 1or 2 in Modes 1-6, no planned maintenance will be performed on an ECAC while the opposite unit ECAC is unavailable.
Term
ECAC Start Signals
Definition

Manual:

1. Local (213 hot shutdown panel)

2. Remote (CC1)

Auto:

1. Low Control Air <85 psig Maintains 95 psig

2. All SAC breakers open

3. SEC actuation (breaker protection only SEC over ride

 

 

 

Term
ECAC Trips
Definition

Immediate:

Low Oil Pressure <15 psig

Motor Overload (only SEC trip not blocked)

Safeguards Load Shed

60 Second Delay:

Hi Lube Oil 150 F

Hi intercooler 150 F

Hi Discharge air temp 340 F

Hi inter-After cooler water level

Term
ECAC Stop Signal
Definition
Shuts down after 12 minutes unloaded
Term

Station Blackout Air Compressors

 

Purpose/Location

 

 

Definition

Diesel Driven with 135g Fuel oil Tank

(Not part of the Fuel Oil System)

Creates 750 SCFM

Sized to provide air to both units for 4 hours in the event of Total station Electrical Blackout

Manual Operation only

 

House in an Enclosure north of Unit 2

Term
What does the Air compressed by the SBO Air Compressor feed?
Definition
Unit 1 and 2 via the #2ECAC system
Term
Control Air Dryers
Definition

Made up of two Dessicant Chambers with one always online and one in standby.

The alternating timer set for 5 minutes

Moisture content of each Chamber designated regeneration needs when unit is offline

LOP will place both chambers in service

 

 

Term
Name the Modes of operation for the Control Air dryers
Definition

AMLOC: Senses moisture and initiates drying

 

Fixed: Dries the Chambers every Swap

Term
Control air dryers are powered from...
Definition
13 and 23 MAC
Term

ECACs

(Emergency Control Air Compressors)

Definition

460V Motor driven, 2 stage compressor with inter and after coolersand self comtained oil system

#1ECAC fed from 1C 460 VB

#2ECAC fed from 2C 460 VB

Locations: U1 and U2 Chiller Rooms

Cooled by Chillwater or

 (Spool piece backup from SW)

 

Term
Excess Flow Check Valves
Definition

Marotta "Flo-Fuse": Isolates piping downstream in the event of a pipe break or rupture

>180 SCFM at 90 psig closes the valve

 

Equalized pressure through a bypass valve will

re-open the valve as long as the problem has been mitigated.

Term
Name the Control Air Isolation Valves and their Purpose
Definition

CA330s

 

Phase A isolation signal closes valves

Designed to fail closed upon loss of air

Designed to fail open upon loss of 125VDC or 28VDC

Term
PORV Control Air Accumulators
Definition

Reserve Control Air supply to the PORVs

Each Porv has 2 accumulators sized for 100 open/closing cycles 50/accumulator

actuates @ <85 psi closes >90 psi

Term
Redundant Air Panels
Definition

Used to backup air to loads (A+B Supply)

Ensures single failure operation capability.

If one header has a loss of air the other header will supply thru a 3-way diaphram operated switching valve.
