Marine silent heat pipe reactor power system

Abstract

The invention discloses a marine silent heat pipe reactor power system, which adopts a double-layer shell arrangement and comprises a reactor core, a shielding body, heat pipes, a thermoelectric powergeneration thermoelectric conversion system and a waste heat removal system, the heat pipes alternately extend out of the two ends of the reactor core, one ends of the heat pipes are inserted into the reactor core, and the other ends of the heat pipes are inserted into the thermoelectric power generation thermoelectric conversion system; the thermoelectric power generation thermoelectric conversion system comprises a thermoelectric generator element, a solid heat exchanger and a cold plate which are arranged at intervals, the heat pipe is connected with the thermoelectric generator through asolid heat exchanger to heat the hot end of the thermoelectric generator, and water flows through the cold plate to cool the cold end of the thermoelectric generator; the waste heat removal system isan indirect cooling closed circulation loop and comprises a cooling water pipeline, a water tank, a circulation water pump and a shell heat exchanger, water flows in the closed loop through the circulation water pump, the cold end of the thermoelectric generator is cooled, the thermoelectric generator generates electric potential through the temperature difference between the two ends of the thermoelectric generator, heat energy is converted into electric energy, and the electric energy can be used by the underwater unmanned underwater vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nuclear reactor power system design, in particular to a marine silent heat pipe reactor power system. Background technique [0002] Unmanned underwater vehicles provide us with new ideas and new means to explore the mysteries of the ocean, discover marine resources, and maintain ocean security. Long-term and reliable energy supply capabilities have become a key issue restricting the development of unmanned underwater vehicles. [0003] At present, most of the power systems used for underwater unmanned submersibles are chemical power sources, such as batteries, fuel cells, lithium batteries, etc. These chemical energy power supplies have low output power and short battery life, which are difficult to meet the long-term work needs of large multi-purpose underwater unmanned submersibles; in addition, the traditional power supply environment is not strong enough to adapt to the harsher marine working environm...
