A sealing device is to be introduced through a manhole into a steam generator connected through a mouth of a connector to a pipeline with a restriction in the vicinity of the connector. The sealing device includes a plurality of serially disposed rubber hose seals defining an intermediate space therebetween to be pressure monitored. The rubber hose seals are subjected to to a pressure medium. Feed rollers guide the sealing device. A bracing device has radially outwardly movable clamping blocks and clamping angles. The clamping blocks may be moved outward. The clamping elbow may be axially fixed against the mouth of the connector for bracing the moved out clamping blocks against the restriction.

A nozzle dam for providing a fluid-tight seal across a primary fluid nozzle in the plenum of a nuclear steam generating vessel includes two fluid-impermeable seals, each comprising a circular three-section foldable seal plate covered with a flexible diaphragm and circumferentially encompassed by an inflatable seal member disposable in frictional sealing engagement with the inner surface of the nozzle. The center sections of the two seals are interconnected by tubular coupling means. The diaphragms are disposed on the high pressure sides of the seal plates, and the sections of each seal plate are hinged on the high pressure side. The center section of each seal plate carries two pairs of support tabs attached to the low pressure side thereof and respectively projecting from opposite ends thereof in cantilever fashion for supported engagement with a frustoconical portion of the inner surface of the nozzle.

A method of remotely installing or removing and assembling and disassembling nozzle dams (10) from outside a steam generator manway (14) using a tool set. The tools are a bifurcated segment lifting (torquing and push-pull) tool 60 to unweight and faciltate the operation of sliding dam segments (30,32) edgewise along sliding brackets (40) and bars (44) in an assembly and disassembly operation; a cam-lock component (36) operating T-shaped tool (80) with a nozzle dam rib avoiding offset (88), transverse quick-connect body (50b) straddling tool (90) pull a sleeve (50c) in order to disassembly quick-connects; and, a gasket installing, tensioning and removing hook tool (102).
摘要:
In an enclosure of a heat exchanger that includes a wall having an opening for access to the enclosure and a nozzle for fluid flow through the wall, an articulate hoist for bringing an articulate manipulator into the enclosure is attached to the wall outside the opening. The lifting portion of the hoist, which is in the enclosure brings the manipulator into the enclosure. The manipulator which is is then attached to the wall outside the opening is adapted for reaching through the opening from inside the enclosure. A tool operator portion of the manipulator is adapted for engaging a nozzle dam for inserting the dam in the nozzle. One type of nozzle dam which the apparatus can install is one that falls within the description of a claim of U.S. Pat. No. 4,957,215.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a system, teaches a technique, and provides apparatus eminently useful for the installation/removal, from a remote and protected location, of nozzle dams onto and from nozzle holddown rings within the channel heads of certain steam generators, including the types typically used in conjunction with the operation of pressurized hot-water nuclear power plants. The technique or method of the instant invention involves methodology for remotely introducing usually with the aid of tackle insertion tool means, through an open channel head manway requisite tubesheet tackle means, or tackle means, as well as strapping means and the securing of same therein; inserting through said open manway, usually with the aid of lifting means, folded nozzle dam means; opening said dam means and properly orientating same relative to said nozzle holddown ring; inserting, orientating, and securing the center portion or said nozzle dam means, torquing bolting means to predetermined limits; and removing from said channel head all said attendant tubesheet tackle means. The effecting of the instant technique requires only a minimal amount of relatively inexpensive, but specially designed equipment and is simply, quickly, and easily placed into practice by, for example, manipulation of same by one or more human operators who are physically located outside said channel head(s) and adjacent said open manway thereby substantially reducing the effective radiation dose heretofore normally associated with such nozzle dam installation and removal.
