[0002] The hydrogen transport pipeline of a nuclear power plant is a double-wall pipeline. The hydrogen concentration in the inner and outer pipes of the pipeline is found to be continuously increasing. Since hydrogen is a dangerous flammable gas with low ignition energy, wide explosion limit and fast burning rate, if hydrogen leaks from the inner pipe of the double-wall transport pipeline, it will accumulate in the inner and outer pipes, increasing the risk of fire. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to locate the leak point of the inner pipe of the double-wall pipeline for hydrogen transportation.
[0003] At present, there are few mature methods for locating leaks in double-walled pipelines for long-distance underground hydrogen transportation in the power industry. The oil and gas transportation industry mainly pre-installs leak detection devices during the pipeline installation phase and requires regular weak current to carry out leak detection. In addition, double-walled pipelines for hydrogen transportation are not pre-arranged with leak detection devices during the installation phase, and due to the flammable and explosive properties of hydrogen, the power-on detection method is not suitable for locating leaks in hydrogen pipelines. Therefore, it is necessary to study and design a safe and reliable leak locating device to locate the leak position of the inner pipe of a double-walled pipeline for long-distance underground hydrogen transportation to solve the above technical problems.

The data acquisition computer (26) calculates the distance between the leak and the mass spectrometer leak detector according to the time t between the concentration change moment of the helium mass spectrometer leak detector and the last concentration change moment, the air temperature T, the pipeline cross-sectional area S, and the pipeline flow rate V2 parameters. The formula for calculating the distance between the leak and the mass spectrometer leak detector is as follows (1): Among them, 273 is a fixed parameter value, that is, the Kelvin temperature corresponding to 0°C.
