Pyrocontrole wins a contract with the Chinese group CGNPC
Pyrocontrole has won a contract with the Chinese group CGNPC to equip reactors 3 and 4 of the nuclear plant at Fanchenggang with its DT034 sensors.
Chosen for its unique performance features, the thermowell-mounted DT034 fast-response sensor won on its merits.
Installed on the primary loop circuit, the DT034 ensures accurate, instantaneous measurement with a response time under 3.7 seconds in normal operating conditions, even in the event of rapid variations. Qualified as K1, it combines technology and rugged design and is capable of withstanding the most extreme conditions in terms of earthquake, temperature and pressure.
In this context, Pyrocontrole will be supplying 60 DT034 sensors to equip reactors 3 and 4 of this native-type HPR1000 pressurized water power plant , Hualong One (1000 MW), for a launch scheduled for 2019 - 2020.
Already present on the Chinese nuclear market, Pyrocontrole is thus strengthening its position as a partner of choice acknowledged by the major groups.
An expert in temperature measurement for severe industries, Pyrocontrole has been developing qualified measurement solutions for the nuclear industry since the late 1970s, drawing on acknowledged know-how constantly enhanced with the latest technological advances. Partnering with both decision-makers and end-users, Pyrocontrole has developed a comprehensive offering of temperature sensors qualified as K1, K2, K3 and NC.
