Abstract

This study presents a development of the cleaning system in a nuclear power plant condenser. The tube cleaning system is very important equipment in a power plant condenser. Specially, removal of the fouling is a key process in the condenser tube. The objective of this study is development of a ball collector system for cleaning a condenser by using a sponge ball. This study uses CFD in order to optimize design of the ball strainer screen. Through the CFD, the implication of the ball strainer screen for static pressure distribution is examined. Results of research, this study have developed a 1/5 scale model for application to the power plant and developed a performance test equipment.
