Multi-purpose heat pipe reactor prototype

Abstract

The invention discloses a multi-purpose heat pipe reactor prototype and belongs to the technical field of reactor experiment devices. The multi-purpose heat pipe reactor prototype comprises a hexagonal matrix used for simulating a solid reactor core of a heat pipe reactor, a plurality of heating rods inserted into the hexagonal matrix and used for simulating a reactor fuel rod bundle, a Stirling thermoelectric converter used for simulating a dynamic thermoelectric conversion process, a silent thermoelectric converter used for simulating a static thermoelectric conversion process, a plurality of high-temperature alkali metal heat pipes used for simulating a reactor core cooling and energy transmission process, and a pressure-bearing protective shell covering the hexagonal matrix, the heating rods, the high-temperature alkali metal heat pipes, the Stirling thermoelectric converter and the silent thermoelectric converter. According to the multi-purpose heat pipe reactor prototype, the feasibility of the multi-purpose heat pipe reactor nuclear power technology can be verified, and the prototype can be used for studying the response of the operation characteristics of the heat pipes and the operation characteristics of the energy conversion device when the reactor core power changes, and studying the coupling characteristics of the reactor core-heat pipe-energy conversion device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of reactor experimental devices, and in particular relates to a novel multipurpose heat pipe reactor prototype. Background technique [0002] At present, the multi-purpose small heat pipe reactor power supply technology has great advantages such as high energy density, long service life, compact structure, strong environmental adaptability, and high inherent safety.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the heat pipe reactor is a new technology, and its technical feasibility needs to be further verified.

At the same time, most of the research still stays on the test of a single component, and there is still a lack of relevant research on the coupling characteristics with the heat pipe reactor integrity, and its integrated integration characteristics need further research
