> 40%

Question 7

How much flow comes from the heater drain pumps? (percentage of total flow)

Answer 7

30% from heater drain pumps

70% from condensate system

Question 8

What will low water level in the heaters cause?

Answer 8

Flashing (Erosion)

Question 9

What will high level in the heaters cause?

Answer 9

Backing up (dump valves open)

Question 10

What’s the purpose of the heater drains?

Answer 10

Provide continuous removal of non-condensable gas from steam (shell) side of the feed water heaters. Allows water to be returned to feedwater system

Question 11

What’s the purpose of the MSR drains?

Answer 11

Collect water from feedwater system to increase:

• efficiency
• operating stability
• reliability

Question 30

When will heater drain tank level control valves open with at least one pump running AND discharge valve open?

Answer 30

> 0%, 520A starts to open 50% 520A is full open 100% F520 A/B full open If level continues to rise, 518 A-E will open sequentially with "E" opening first

Question 31

How is level controlled in the heater drain tank with no pumps running?

Answer 31

F520 A/B are interlocked closed F518 A-E open to maintain level. E opens first
