A marine silent heat pipe reactor power system

Abstract

The invention discloses a marine silent heat pipe reactor power system. The system adopts a double-layer shell arrangement, including a core, a shield body, a heat pipe, a thermoelectric conversion system for thermoelectric power generation and a waste heat discharge system, and the heat pipes protrude from both ends of the core alternately. One end of the heat pipe is inserted into the core, and the other end is inserted into the thermoelectric conversion system of thermoelectric power generation; The electrical appliances are connected to heat the hot end of the thermoelectric generator, and the water flows through the cold plate to cool the cold end of the thermoelectric generator; the waste heat removal system is an indirect cooling closed loop, including cooling water pipes, water tanks, circulating water pumps and shell heat exchangers, relying on The circulating water pump makes the water flow in the closed circuit, cooling the cold end of the thermoelectric generator, and the thermoelectric generator uses the temperature difference between its two ends to generate an electric potential, which converts heat energy into electrical energy, which can be used by underwater unmanned submersibles.

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...
