Nuclear Containment Spray Pump - CUP-VS1

A containment spray pump plays a crucial role in minimizing radioactive material leakage from the containment vessel during emergency situations, such as a loss-of-coolant accident. At the time of such accident the pump sprays boric acid water into the vessel and eliminate contamination of the fissionable material.

The CUP-VS1 Containment Spray Pump reduces radioactive material leakage during emergencies, such as a loss-of-coolant accident. It sprays boric acid water to suppress contamination and maintain safety. The vertical turbine pump adheres to API 610 and API 682 standards, offering high reliability, low NPSH capabilities, and various material options for different fluids. Its design eliminates the need for a suction barrel, simplifying maintenance and ensuring adaptability to diverse nuclear cooling applications. With capacities up to 31,000 USgpm and temperatures up to 402°F, it provides robust performance for containment systems in nuclear facilities.

Safety Injection Pump

Nuclear Safety Injection Pump

A nuclear safety injection pump is an essential part of a nuclear reactor's Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS). Its main role is to deliver coolant to the reactor core during emergencies, such as a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). This process is crucial for controlling the core's temperature and preventing it from overheating, which could otherwise result in a meltdown.

Essential to the Emergency Core Cooling System, the Safety Injection Pump ensures coolant delivery during emergencies, such as a loss-of-coolant accident. It prevents overheating and potential reactor core meltdowns by maintaining safe temperature levels. Available in vertical and horizontal multistage configurations, these pumps feature low NPSH capabilities and versatile hydraulic options to meet operational needs. Their durability, compliance with nuclear safety standards, and ability to handle demanding conditions make them a critical asset for nuclear plant safety. These pumps reliably support accident mitigation strategies, safeguarding both reactor integrity and personnel during critical emergency scenarios.

Nuclear Residual Heat Removal Pump

A nuclear residual heat removal pump is a vital component in nuclear power plants. Its main purpose is to extract residual heat from the reactor core after the reactor has been shut down. This function is critical for maintaining safe temperature levels and preventing the risk of overheating.

This pump removes residual heat from the reactor core post-shutdown, ensuring safe temperature levels and preventing overheating. It plays a crucial role in maintaining nuclear reactor integrity during cooldown operations. Designed for reliability and compliance with nuclear safety requirements, the pump features advanced materials and engineering to withstand high temperatures and prolonged operation. Residual Heat Removal Pumps support plant safety by continuously dissipating decay heat, ensuring system stability and avoiding potential thermal damage during non-operational phases. Their efficiency and dependability make them indispensable for nuclear power plant cooling systems.

Charge pump

Nuclear Charging Pump

A charge pump is used to boost the pressure of a fluid before it enters the inlet of the main pump, providing enough pressure to overcome the required net positive suction head (NPSH) and prevent cavitation in larger pumping equipment. In a nuclear power plant, particularly in pressurized water reactors (PWRs), a charge pump is a critical component of the reactor’s coolant system, maintaining the pressure and flow of the reactor coolant to ensure the reactor core remains adequately cooled.

Charge Pumps boost fluid pressure before it enters main pumps, ensuring proper net positive suction head (NPSH) to prevent cavitation. In nuclear plants, particularly pressurized water reactors (PWRs), they maintain reactor coolant pressure and flow, safeguarding reactor core cooling. These pumps are designed for reliability under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, withstanding demanding nuclear environments. Their role in reactor coolant systems ensures seamless operation during critical processes. With advanced engineering and robust materials, Charge Pumps support plant efficiency and safety, preventing mechanical failures and ensuring the sustained cooling necessary for reactor stability.

Feedwater pump

Nuclear Auxiliary / Emergency Feedwater Pump

In the event of a main feedwater system failure, Auxiliary (Emergency) Feedwater Pumps provide a critical alternative water supply to the reactor to maintain safe operating conditions. These pumps can be either Motor-Driven or Turbine-Driven. Motor-Driven pumps typically operate using power supplied by a backup diesel generator, while Turbine-Driven pumps are powered by the steam produced by the reactor itself.

Nuclear Startup Feed Pump – ClydeUnion Pumps Product Image

Nuclear Startup Feed Pump

A nuclear Startup Feed Pump is a crucial component in a nuclear power plant’s feedwater system. Its primary role is to supply feedwater to the steam generators during the startup phase of the plant. This pump ensures that the steam generators receive the necessary water to produce steam, which drives the turbines and generates electricity.

The CUP-FK Startup Feed Pump supplies initial feedwater to steam generators during nuclear plant startup. Its radially split, multi-stage barrel design withstands high pressure and temperatures, ensuring operational flexibility. Thermal shock resistance allows it to handle sudden temperature changes, while its full cartridge withdrawal simplifies maintenance. With capacities up to 2,800 m³/hr and delivery heads up to 5,000 m, it ensures efficient feedwater delivery under extreme conditions. Designed for reliability and cost-effectiveness, the CUP-FK supports safe and efficient startup processes in nuclear facilities, minimizing operational risks.
