A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11823805B2) discloses an innovative acousto-optic leakage monitoring system designed for main steam pipelines in nuclear power plants. The system includes an acoustic emission leakage monitoring loop with multiple sensors positioned around weld seams, along with a spectrum leakage monitoring loop featuring micro-optical fiber probes in the same location. These sensors and probes are interconnected through a network switch, which is further linked to a control unit and a display unit for seamless monitoring and analysis.
Furthermore, the system incorporates signal amplifiers and a data acquisition unit within the acoustic emission loop to enhance monitoring capabilities. The data acquisition unit consists of an acquisition card and an I/O card, responsible for collecting signals from the sensors, converting them into digital data, and transmitting them to the network switch. Additionally, the spectrum leakage monitoring loop includes a laser transmitter and a spectrum analyzer connected to the micro-optical fiber probes, all interconnected through armored optical fiber cables. This comprehensive setup ensures efficient communication and data transmission for accurate leakage monitoring within the nuclear power plant's containment area.
