7 An existing Beckman DEXTIR data acquisition system will be used to
log the more important salt temperatures and pressures and the pump salt flow, power, and speed. Other test stand temperatures and pressures will be monitored and controlled with conventional equipment.
1.2.5 Safety Features The test stand will be enclosed in a sheetmetal structure which will cover the top and sides and will have pans to catch salt spills and leaks. The enclosure will be provided with a ventilation system.
1 . 3 System DesigE Requirements Criteria have been established to obtain a test stand that will provide maximum performance and endurance information for the MSBE salt pumps in a safe and economical manner.
The criteria include:
1.3.1 Function The pump test stand will be designed to (1) accommodate full-size salt pumps for the MSBE primary or secondary systems, (2) provide a nonnuclear test environment, and (3) yield performance and endurance data to assure maximum capability and reliability of the pumps in the MSBE. 1.3.2
Pump Size
The design of the test stand is centered on the pump sizes required
for a 200 Mw(t) MSBE, as shown in Table 1. However, with minor modifications, it will be capable of accommodating pumps ranging in flow capacity fron 50% smaller to 50% larger than the MSBE pumps.
The heat
removal, salt flow, and electric power capabilities will be oversized to provide this flexibility. Adequate structural allowances will also be provided to obtain this flexibility.
