Dynamic Port For Measuring Reactor Coolant Pump Bearing Oil Level
Dynamic Port For Measuring Reactor Coolant Pump Bearing Oil Level
US Patent:
2010032, Dec 30, 2010
Filed:
Jun 29, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/493261
Inventors:
David R. Brady - Export PA, US

Assignee:
Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC - Monroeville PA
International Classification:
G21C 15/24, F01M 11/00
US Classification:
376340, 137593
Abstract:
A dynamic port that extends from the bottom wall of an oil reservoir that surrounds the lower guide bearing of a reactor coolant pump and is in fluid communication within an oil level gauge. The dynamic port is rotatable into and out of the oil flow path to adjust the dynamic oil level shown by the oil level gauge when the pump is at operating speed to be substantially equal to the static oil level when the motor is at rest.
