? operating or pilot assist types; the type being Qependent upon the required flow coefficient and operating pressure, and either type may be latching or non-latching. Non-latching valves require con-tinuous power to be applied to the solenoid coil for the entire time it is desired to have the valve remain in its energized stat'e. Removal of power causes the valve to immediately return to its de-energized state. This type would be a " fail open" or " fail closed", depending upo.n whether it is a normally open or norma,lly closed valve. p .

                                                  ~

I Operation of a latch valve requires only a momentary power pulse to either one of two solenoid coils to cause the valve to change state (i.e. open or close) and to remain in that state without power being con-tinuously applied to the solenoid coil. The latch' force is provided by permanent magnets assembled within the solenoid sub-assembly. This valve would be a

                                         " fail in place" type.

4.1.2.1 Direct Operating Valves Direct operating valves are constructed such that the main seal is mechanically coupled directly to the plunger. When the solenoid coil is energized, causing the plunger to shuttle, the main seal also. shuttles with the plunger, thereby making th? valve change state. 4.1.2.2 Pilot Assist Valves Pilot assist valves utilize line pressure generated

                                                                                                                                                                    )

forces to operate the valve. Ilowever, at zero line pressure, or low differential pressure across the main scal; the solenoid generated force alone can cause the valve to operate. This happens because the pilot seal and plunger assembly is coupled to the e main seal piston. The coupling is not direct, i.e. I there is a definite clearance between the pilot seal and plunger assembly, and the main seal piston. In contrast, a remotely pilot operated. valve requires , some minimum value of line pressure or differential - pressure to cause the main seal to operate. LODE IDEtiT. NO. SIZE

  .m j       4.2.1.1           Body and Bonnet Sub-Assembly The body and bonnet sub-assembly, which constitutes the valve pressure, boundaries, can be influenced by the scismic and LOCA requirements.                       The LOCA influence is limited only to the case where the bonnet to body interface seal is an 0-ring.                 In such a case, the sealing 0-ring would experience the same conditions as the solenoid operator external 0-ring seals.                      Qualification is extended to the bonnet to body seal, based upon the material.and function being the same as the qualified solenoid operator 0-ring seals,which were qualified on P/N V52600-5291-2.

Seismic influences are determined by the structural and b geometric make up of the sub-assembly. Qualification a to seismic requirements is demonstrated by tests on representative valves of the series. An analysis of seismic influences is given in paragraph 4.2.5 herein. 4.2.1.2 Plunger-Scal Assemblies The most significant influence on this sub-assembly are the affects of cyclic aging.

Because of the low mass of all 4 solenoid components, the high stiffness of supporting structures, and the low frequency content of the seismic input no resonances of the components occur, resulting in a negligible mechanical stress. Qualification to these requirements is demonstrated by test, and is reported in paragraph 4.2.5, herein. 4.2.2 Qualification Units Qualification tests were performed on five different valves. The valve part numbers and the tests performed on each unit are listed in Table II, (pg. 21).

4 tions are generically qualified based upon the common use of materials and similarity of design in the V526 series. These three tests directly affect properties of the materials used in the valve construction. The metallic materials of construction are not affected by thermal aging or radiation exposure as demonstrated by their constant use throughout in-dustry in these environments. However, metallic . W materials can be affected by the LOCA chemical spray and saturated steam environments if they are not inherently corrosion resistant (CRES ) , or if

  • they are not treated to be corrosion resistant.

The only metallics exposed to the LOCA environme,n,t g, which are not inherently CRES are the solenoid cover, solenoid housing and solenoid restraining bolts used in NEMA 4 enclosures. These materials are all carbon steel. The solenoid cover and housing are plated with nickel, and the solenoid restraining bolts are plated with cadmium or nickel, or coated with manganese phosphate.

L > 4' ratio of the main seal to pilot seal diameter is approx-a imately 12-5, thus demonstrating that size is of no significance in the scal-seat ccmbination. Of the 23,200 cycles of operation, 700 cycles'were performed at a -320*F LN media temperature. 2 No degredation of sealing performance occurred during. or efter the life cycle tests, thereby qualifying the pilot assist seal-seat design and polyimide materials as used in the V526 series valves for a minimum life of 23,200 cycles. The cycle tests performed, and their , results are recorded in Valcor report MRS2600-543-1. 4.2.4.3 Metal to Metal Seal-Seat Design s A metal to metal scal-seat design is not susceptible to thermal aging or radiation aging, however, it is suc-coptible to errosion at elevated tems.cratures', and to mechanical wear due to repeated cyclic stress at the seal-seat interface. To overcome these two drawbacks all Valcor nuclear service solenoid valves designed with . metal to metal seal-seats, including the VS26 series valves, incorporate hard faced seal and seat surfaces.

Therefore, the only unknown seismic load factor would be those loads induced on the structural. members (body and bonnet) by the presence of resonances withi.n the frequency band of interest.

Resonances of structural members are determined by the mass they support, their structural strength and their geometry. Resonances of the moving element (plunger and seal assembly) are determined by the - ( ~'s mass of the moving element, spring rate of the re-v storing spring,if a spring is present; the spring restoring load or latch force in the case of latching valves, the load due to line pressure, and coulomb damping. -

q.) a De-energizing the solenoid coil causes the plunger to shuttle and seal the pilot seat, thereby closing the pilot section bleed. When the pilot section bleed closes, upstream pressure, which is constantly being bled into the back piston cavity through a pilot in-let orifice, causes the differential pneumatic force to decrease. As this pneumatic force decreases, the main spring force " closes" the main seal piston. When in the closed position the outlet port is isolated from the inlet port by the main seal, which seals against a metal seat in the valve body. The main seal is an 0-ring (ethylene propylene) captively retained in the b ~ valve piston. The pilot seal is a solid polyimide pin. - The solenoid assembly is designed and constructed to be in accordance with the requirements of NEMA 4. The solenoid assembly incorporates two indicating switches which indicate valve open or closed positions. - Valve position indication is identified by the closure of the indicating switch contacts. The switches are reed suitches which are actuated by a hermetically scaled magnet assembly attached to the valve plunger.

Dear Sir:

The following is a numary of the test experience we have accumulated on the pilot assist solenoid valve designed for nuclear service supplied by Valcor Engineering: One solenoid valve P/N V54000-30 is being evaluated in a high temperature

  • and high precsure test facility for use in a hydraulically operated nuclear reactor control cystem. Our evaluation of the unit has consisted of the following:
1. 225,000 cycles of operation fiowing reactor chemistry water renintained at 600*F, 2500 psi. Ambient conditions on the outside of the valve and
   'y
  • the coil have been maintained as high as 450*F for extended periods of time
2. The valve has been subjected to a total of 1200 hours of hot loop opera-tion at the above conditions.
3. With the. execption of mechanical binding of the plunger which was easily corrected early in the program, valve operation has been completely sat is-lactory. Seat Icakage remains belou our specification limits. -
4. Evaluation of the unit in continuing.' It will noon he placed in a facil-
                                      .ity where operation in the presence of magnetite and other recetor "cand"                                                             .
