Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of hydrogen concentration measurement, and more specifically, the invention relates to a hydrogen concentration measurement device and a hydrogen measurement probe resistant to high temperature, high pressure and high humidity radiation. Background technique [0002] When a serious accident occurs in a nuclear power plant, a large amount of hydrogen will be produced in the containment, and the explosion of hydrogen will threaten the integrity of the safety barrier of the nuclear power plant. The sources of a large amount of hydrogen produced under the accident conditions of nuclear power plants are as follows: in the early stage of the accident, zirconium-water reaction produced hydrogen at a high rate; Lots of hydrogen. The accumulation of a large amount of hydrogen may cause the hydrogen concentration in the containment vessel to exceed the explosion limit of 4%, and there is a danger of explosion. In order to pre...

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, nuclear power plants need to have a set of devices for measuring hydrogen concentration in severe accidents, but the environmental conditions in the containment are usually harsh during severe accidents, such as high temperature, high pressure, high radiation and other harsh environments, which are not conducive to the continuous monitoring of accidents by operators, making it difficult Use an effective method to monitor the hydrogen concentration, which has extremely high requirements for the equipment in the containment vessel

[0005] The first existing serious accident hydrogen concentration monitoring device uses the principle of catalytic reaction to indirectly measure the hydrogen concentration by measuring the heat of reaction, but this device can only be used in an aerobic environment, and the heat loss, reaction parts and catalytic reaction parts The distance affects the measurement accuracy, the hydrogen concentration measurement accuracy cannot be guaranteed, and the water droplets entering the catalytic unit under high humidity will also cause its measurement failure

[0006] The second existing serious accident hydrogen concentration monitoring device is to extract the gas out of the containment for measurement, but the measured parameters are difficult to accurately represent the inside of the containment after the radioactive gas is drawn out of the containment and then measured. The concentration of hydrogen gas will increase, and when the radioactive gas is pumped out of the containment, there will be a rupture of the sampling pipeline, which will further increase the leak point of the containment, and will also increase the risk of exposure of personnel outside the containment, and the safety is not high....
