[0002] Geothermal energy is a clean and renewable energy source. Replacing high-carbon energy with geothermal energy is one of the effective ways to reduce carbon emissions. To avoid waste of energy during the transfer of underground geothermal energy to the ground, heat-insulating pipes are used to transport geothermal energy. The research on the heat-insulating performance of heat-insulating pipes is of great significance for improving the utilization rate of geothermal energy. However, with the continuous innovation of the manufacturing technology of non-metallic composite heat-insulating pipes and their extensive use in the field of geothermal energy, the results show that the non-metallic composite heat-insulating pipes have good effects, but there is a lack of a corresponding test method for the thermal conductivity of the physical whole pipe.

[0003] Currently, in enterprises, tests are only carried out on sheets, and there is no special equipment for detecting physical whole pipes. Through retrieval, it is found that Chinese invention CN103267774A discloses a pipe thermal conductivity tester and test method with hyperbolic reality. However, in the oil and gas extraction and transportation in oilfields, heating and temperature control are often required, while the fluid medium in the pipe of this invention is 0°C brine, which cannot be heated and temperature-controlled, and can only be tested at room temperature conditions (23 - 25°C).

[0009] In the step S5, measure the heat flux density of the test pipe section by using the unsteady heat dissipation method. Determine the apparent thermal conductivity of the test pipe section by the temperature gradients and heat flux density on the inner and outer walls of the test pipe section. The processing procedure is as follows: The total heat dissipation Q1 of the water in the test pipe section is: Q1 = cmTc’ (1) In the formula, c is the specific heat capacity of water, m is the mass of water in the test pipe section, and Tc’ is the temperature difference between the outer wall of the test pipe section and the environment; The heat released by the comprehensive heat transfer on the outer wall of the test pipe section Q2 is: Q2 = htATc’ (2) In the formula, A is the total area of the outer wall of the test pipe section, t is the temperature drop time, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and h is the comprehensive heat transfer coefficient; According to the law of conservation of energy, Q1 = Q2, and the comprehensive heat transfer coefficient h of the test pipe section is obtained; The heat flux density q on the outer wall of the test pipe section is: (3) In the formula, Tc is the temperature difference between the outer wall temperature of the test pipe section and the hot water bath, R1 is the inner pipe inner diameter, and R2 is the outer pipe outer diameter; The comprehensive heat transfer heat flux density q’ from the outer wall to the environment is: q’ = hTc’ (4) According to the law of conservation of energy, q = q’: (5) The obtained thermal conductivity of the test pipe section is: (6) In the formula, Tc is the temperature difference between the outer wall temperature of the test pipe section and the hot water bath, Tc’ is the temperature difference between the outer wall of the test pipe section and the environment, h is the comprehensive heat transfer coefficient, R1 is the inner pipe inner diameter, and R2 is the outer pipe outer diameter.

[0016] In step S2, a plurality of pipe body temperature measuring points are uniformly arranged in a spiral shape from top to bottom along the test pipe section, and the number of the pipe body temperature measuring points ≥ 6.

[0017] In the step S4, the set range of the constant temperature water bath temperature is 40~70 °C.

[0018] In the step S5, the parameters to be measured by the unsteady heat dissipation method include: the mass of water in the test pipe section, the temperature difference between the outer wall of the test pipe section and the environment temperature, and the temperature drop time.

[0019] In the step S5, the unsteady heat dissipation method is used to measure the heat flux density of the test pipe section. By the temperature gradient and heat flux density of the inner and outer walls of the test pipe section, the apparent thermal conductivity of the test pipe section is determined. The processing process is as follows: The total heat dissipation Q1 of the water in the test pipe section is: Q1 = cmTc’ (1) In the formula, c is the specific heat capacity of water, m is the mass of water in the test pipe section, and Tc’ is the temperature difference between the outer wall of the test pipe section and the environment temperature; The heat released Q2 by the comprehensive heat transfer of the outer wall of the test pipe section is: Q2 = htATc’ (2) In the formula, A is the total area of the outer wall of the test pipe section, t is the temperature drop time, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and h is the comprehensive heat transfer coefficient; According to the law of conservation of energy, Q1 = Q2, and the comprehensive heat transfer coefficient h of the test pipe section is obtained; The heat flux density q of the outer wall of the test pipe section is: (3) In the formula, Tc is the temperature difference between the outer wall temperature of the test pipe section and the hot water bath, R1 is the inner pipe inner diameter, and R2 is the outer pipe outer diameter; The comprehensive heat transfer heat flux density q’ from the outer wall to the environment is: q’ = hTc’ (4) According to the law of conservation of energy, q = q’; (5) The obtained thermal conductivity of the test pipe section is: (6) In the formula, Tc is the temperature difference between the outer wall temperature of the test pipe section and the hot water bath, Tc’ is the temperature difference between the outer wall of the test pipe section and the environment temperature, h is the comprehensive heat transfer coefficient, R1 is the inner pipe inner diameter, and R2 is the outer pipe outer diameter.

[0020] Compared with the direct measurement method, which is easily affected by various factors, it is more difficult to accurately characterize, has a large error in the heat flux density, and is difficult to accurately measure the comprehensive performance of the pipe material. The present invention calculates the heat flux density of the experimental piece based on the conservation of energy, which is closer to the service condition of the pipe material, has a smaller error, and can more accurately reflect the apparent thermal conductivity of the non-metallic composite integral pipe.

[0022] During actual use, the present invention vertically places the test pipe section 5, and according to the test requirements, a plurality of pipe body temperature measurement points 6 are evenly laid on the outer side of the test pipe section 5 from top to bottom, an ambient temperature measurement point 4 is arranged near the test pipe section 5, and the pipe body temperature measurement points 6 and the ambient temperature measurement point 4 are respectively electrically connected to the data acquisition unit 3; the data acquisition unit 3 is used to set the acquisition frequency and save the corresponding data; the apparent thermal conductivity of the non-metallic composite pipe material is obtained through calculation. The non-metallic composite physical whole-pipe apparent thermal conductivity testing device of the present invention can detect the whole pipe of the composite pipe, the device design is simple and reasonable, the operation is convenient, the test accuracy is high, and the cost is low. Example 3

[0023] According to the non-metallic composite physical whole-pipe apparent thermal conductivity testing device described in Example 2, using the non-metallic composite physical whole-pipe apparent thermal conductivity testing method in Example 1, the apparent thermal conductivity of a certain polyethylene pipe composite pipe is tested. The specific process is as follows: S1: Cut a certain polyethylene pipe composite pipe with a set length according to the test requirements as the test pipe section for the whole-pipe apparent thermal conductivity, seal the two ends of the test pipe section with a polymer material, and fill the cavity of the test pipe section with water; S2: Vertically place the test pipe section, and lay 8 pipe body temperature measurement points on the outer surface of the test pipe section, and set an ambient temperature measurement point near the test pipe section; S3: Connect the two ends of the test pipe section to the inlet and outlet of the constant temperature water bath respectively, and perform heat preservation treatment; S4: Set the constant temperature water bath temperature to 70°C according to the test requirements, start the circulation pump after the temperature is constant, observe the change of the surface temperature of the test pipe section, and conduct the experiment after the inner and outer surface temperatures of the test pipe section are constant; S5: Use the non-steady state heat dissipation method to measure the heat flux density of the test pipe section.

It can be seen from Table 1 that through the thermal conductivity test of polyethylene pellets, the apparent thermal conductivity obtained by the test method of the present invention is closer to the thermal conductivity of the polyethylene pellets of the polyethylene composite pipe than the apparent thermal conductivity obtained by direct measurement. The test method of the present invention has a small error and can more accurately reflect the apparent thermal conductivity of the non-metallic composite pipe.
