Abstract
Net positive suction head available (NPSHa) under different temperatures is calculated for the low-head safety injection pump in a pressurized water reactor power plant, and the temperature impact on NPSHa is analyzed. The analysis results show that, when the water reaches saturation, NPSHa of the low-head safety injection pump is minimum, but still larger than net positive suction head required (NPSHr) of low-head safety injection pump, so the pump cavitation will not occur.
