CAP1400 demonstration plant by SNPTC is a Chinese independent developed advanced passive pressurized water reactor with an electric output of 1,400 MW per unit. SEC-KSB will provide RUVs for one unit. It has set up special project and service teams to work with the customer in RUV prototype development and qualification testing so as to ensure the schedule, safety and reliability of equipment.
RUVs are reactor coolant pumps customized for nuclear plants of AP/CAP series. Together with canned motor pumps, they are the two different technical route for Generation 3 nuclear power.
? Operational safety
n Maximum safety due to completely forged pressure boundary
n Hermetically sealed (leakage free, no mechanical seals)
n Perfect rotor dynamic behavior
? Integrity under upset conditions
Motor cooling through thermosyphon effect
? Flywheel
High inertia flywheel to address coastdown requirements
? Optimized thermal barrier
Advanced cooling concept for homogeneous temperature distribution
? Optimized hydraulics
Well-proven design with very high hydraulic efficiency
? Maximum overall efficiency
Due to proven wet winding motor technology
? Maintenance free design
