NYU has an ongoing research program which is being funded by DOE to test three types of high-pressure, high-temperature filters. The main objectives of the testing program are: (1) to establish the performance capability of the filters under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions; and (2) to evaluate the dust collection efficiency. Shakedown tests for a duration of about 50 hours was completed during October 1986. Testing of the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is in progress. The first test with ESP was performed during the middle of November 1986. The operating experience with respect to the test facility, and in particular with the particulate sampling systems, is reported in this paper. Additionally, some test results are also discussed.

Water-lubricated graphite bearing has gradually obtained the widespread application, with its high wear resistance, high temperature resistance and self lubricating, This paper designed the water-lubricated graphite sliding bearing performance testing platform and studied the factors that could affect bearing friction wear rate and the vibration of bearing, such as load, speed and running time. The final results show that the water-lubricated graphite sliding bearing can basically meet the requirements of the blower shaft system.

PFBR, India’s first commercial fast breeder reactor employing fast fission is a challenging project from technological point of view to meet the energy security of the country. It is currently under advanced stage of construction at Kalpakkam, India. PFBR is equipped with two independent, fast acting and diverse shutdown systems. A shutdown system comprises of sensors, logic circuits, drive mechanisms and neutron absorbing rods. The absorber rods of the second shutdown system of PFBR are called as Diverse Safety rods (DSR) and their drive mechanisms are called as Diverse Safety Rod Drive Mechanisms (DSRDM). DSR are normally parked above active core by DSRDM. On receiving scram signal, Electromagnet of DSRDM is de-energised and it facilitates fast shutdown of the reactor by dropping the DSR in to the active core. For the prototype development of DSR and DSRDM, three phases of testing namely individual component testing, integrated functional testing in room temperature and endurance testing at high temperature sodium were planned and are being done. The electromagnet of DSRDM operates at high temperature sodium environment continuously. It has been separately tested at room temperature, in furnace and in sodium. Specimens simulating the contact conditions between Electromagnet and armature of DSR have been tested to rule out self welding possibility. The Dashpot provided to decelerate the DSR at the end of its free fall has been initially tested in water and then in sodium. The prototype of DSR has been tested in flowing water to determine the pressure drop and drop time. The functional testing of the integrated prototype DSRDM and DSR in aligned and misaligned conditions in air/water has been completed. The performance testing of the integrated system in sodium has been done in three campaigns. Based on the performance testing in the first two campaigns of sodium testing, design modifications and manufacturing quality improvement were done. Methods of drop time measurement based on ultrasonics and acoustics were also developed along with the first two campaigns. During the third campaign of sodium testing, the performance of the system has been verified with 30 mm misalignment at various temperatures. The third campaign has qualified the system for 10 years of operation in reactor. This paper describes the test setup for all the above mentioned testing and also gives typical test results.

Abstract HPHT (high pressure, high temperature) conditions create challenges and push the limits of existing technology (i.e., scale prediction modeling, testing methodology and instrumentation) and commercial scale inhibitor chemistry. Scale prediction modeling often fails at HPHT conditions and laboratory testing under appropriate field conditions have to be compromised due to instrument limitations. This paper details work done under high temperature (204°C) and elevated pressure (3,000 psi) conditions in in order to obtain effective scale control. More specifically, this paper will discuss selection methods for continuous and squeeze scale inhibitor application via dynamic performance testing and coreflood studies for scale control in this deep-water oil production field. The technical challenges encountered such as matching the scale type predicted in the prediction software to the scale observed during dynamic tube blocking will be outlined. Thermal ageing procedures/performance testing for continual injection chemicals and performance testing of coreflood effluent from HT coreflood studies will be outlined.

In this paper, ferrosilicon powder was used as the ferromagnetic phase, corundum powder as the abrasive phase, high temperature inorganic binder as the adhesive, and after the ferrosilicon powder was modified, a series of magnetic abrasive was obtained by sintering method. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were respectively used to characterize the morphology and elemental composition of magnetic abrasive. and through experiments carried out on the magnetic abrasive grinding performance testing and durability analysis. The experimental results showed that the magnetic abrasive prepared had good polishing ability and longer using time, and the surface roughness of the grinding sample can reach 0.12μm and the using time is up to 25 min.
