KSB is first reactor coolant pump manufacturer to be certified for modern nuclear power plants in China |
|
Frankenthal, Germany, 12. August 2019., (APA/OTS) - The Frankenthal-based pump and valve manufacturer has been awarded the certificate for its RUV reactor coolant pump allowing it to be used in the latest generation 3+ of Chinese nuclear power stations. With one of the components of the Chinese energy mix being nuclear power, the country is planning to build numerous new power plants. |
KSB has already received its first order for supplying five pumps
to the Shidaowan nuclear power station. This is where the world's
currently largest reactor of the AP/CAP series will be built. One
part of the order will be manufactured at the headquarters in
Frankenthal, the other in Shanghai, the seat of the joint venture
Shanghai Electric-KSB Nuclear Pumps & Valves Co., Ltd. (SEC-KSB).
The prototype of the RUV pump has successfully passed the demanding
tests in Lingang (China) where it proved its continuous operating
reliability, for example. All measured values met or even exceeded
the official test specifications. In total the pump set was in
operation for more than 700 hours, out of which more than 500 hours
at a temperature of over 284 °C. In accordance with the test
specifications the pump, which has a drive rating of about 7.5
megawatts, was started and stopped in excess of 550 times. When
dismantled after testing, all components were in perfect condition.
"The successful certification is an important milestone for KSB
following a development period of close to ten years. It underlines
our position as a technology leader in the nuclear market. This is a
good starting point for us in the growing Chinese energy market. We
are expecting to receive orders that will safeguard jobs also in
Germany," says Dr Stephan Bross, member of Management of KSB SE &
Co. KGaA.
