Abstract

An acousto-optic leakage monitoring system for main steam pipeline in nuclear power plant. The system includes an acoustic emission leakage monitoring loop and a spectrum leakage monitoring loop, wherein the signal input ends of the acoustic emission leakage monitoring loop and the signal input ends of the spectrum leakage monitoring loop are respectively arranged at detection points of the main steam pipeline. The signal output ends of the acoustic emission leakage monitoring loop and the signal output ends of the spectrum leakage monitoring loop are communicatively connected to each other through a network switch, and the network switch is sequentially connected with a control unit and a display unit. Compared with the prior art, the acousto-optic leakage monitoring system for the main steam pipeline in nuclear power plant according to the present invention provides early warning before the main steam pipeline leaks and realizes the diversity and redundancy of the main steam pipeline leakage monitoring methods by combining acoustic emission and spectroscopy, so that the detection results are more credible, and the maintenance cost after installation is extremely low. The detectio…
