    AREVA Pump Test Loop

    Qualication of pumps according to ISO 9906


    and at accident operation conditions fast thermal transients, particle loaded water
    The challenge
    Qualication of pumps at accident conditions like
    fast thermal transients or during operation with
    particle loaded water following a LOCA in addition
    to standard conditions like described in ISO 9906
    The solution
    Set up of a test facility which is able to perform
    standard pump performance tests according
    ISO 9906 but special tests as well without changing
    test loop components. For the operation of pumps
    in nuclear power plants a qualication at standard
    conditions like dened in ISO 9906 is often not
    sucient. Special operating boundary conditions
    like thermal transients or pump operation with
    particle loaded water have to be taken into account

    as well as endurance tests. The APPEL facility


    shows maximum exibility regarding the kind of
    qualication requested.
    Measurements by default are:
    Flow rate
    System pressure
    Pump discharge head
    Vibration behavior of pump and motor
    Fluid temperature
    Temperature of pump and motor components
    Motor power
    Pump rotation frequency

    Vessel circuit
    Main circuit
    Cooling circuit

    AREVA Pump Test Loop APPEL


    During the pump operation at fast thermal transients the pump can be thermally shocked with a
    temperature dierence of 165 K in less than 30 s,
    the shocks can be applied cold/hot or even hot/cold.
    Pump endurance tests even at elevated temperatures can be performed for several hundred hours
    combined with frequent switch on/switch o
    operations of the pump.
    The pump operation with particle loaded water can
    be performed during long term, the debris mixture
    can be prepared and supplied by AREVA.
