Wishing everyone a happy New Year and peace, health, and safety for their families. This is just a starting point; more participation from everyone will make things more lively. Haichuan becomes even better with your involvement, so we encourage everyone to actively engage in discussions on this forum. From June 23 to 24, 2022, the construction project of the ultra-supercritical safety valve testing platform, carried out jointly by Harbin Electric Valve Company and **China Power Investment Group Chongqing Hechuan Power Generation Co., Ltd., successfully passed the on-site inspection by experts from the **Pump and Valve Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center (Hefei General Machinery and Electrical Products Testing Institute Co., Ltd.). This represents another major milestone in the construction of this testing platform; it signifies that the world’s only safety valve testing platform capable of operating under ultra-supercritical conditions is now almost complete and ready for testing. This lays a solid foundation for the final acceptance of the project as well as its future application and dissemination.
The ultra-supercritical safety valve testing platform is located on the 70-meter platform of the 660MW supercritical Unit 4 at Chongqing Hechuan Power Plant. The platform features high temperatures and high humidity, resulting in extremely harsh conditions for on-site testing. To ensure the smooth progress of these tests, project team members such as Hu Songbai, Wang Lixin, and Chen Ronghai overcame numerous difficulties, coordinated various parties, and organized everything carefully. They worked tirelessly in the scorching heat to carry out repeated adjustments, solving one technical challenge after another. Ultimately, through the collective efforts and with the strong support of Hechuan Power Plant, the tests were successfully completed, and they were witnessed by authoritative institutions, making a significant contribution to the smooth advancement of the project.
Once the ultra-supercritical safety valve testing platform is completed, it will enable the testing of the thermal performance of safety valves under ultra-supercritical conditions, including technical parameters such as set pressure, opening height, reseating pressure, opening time, and sealing performance. Meanwhile, the platform can be made available to external users to provide testing services for the industry.
