Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear reactor thermal-hydraulic experiments, and particularly relates to a general experimental bench and experimental method for the start-up and flow heat transfer of high-temperature heat pipes. Background Art

[0002] A heat pipe is a passive energy transfer device. The liquid working medium undergoes a phase change to become a gas when heated in the evaporation section. Under the pressure difference between the evaporation section and the condensation section, the gaseous working medium flows from the evaporation section to the condensation section in the steam channel, and condenses into a liquid in the condensation section, and then flows back to the evaporation section under the capillary force of the wick. The heat transfer capacity of high-temperature alkali metal heat pipes is very strong. Combining its passive characteristics, when applied to a small nuclear reactor, the evaporation section of the high-temperature heat pipe is embedded in the reactor core, and the condensation section is connected to the energy conversion device, which can efficiently export the heat of the reactor core without a primary loop circulation, simplifying the system.

[0003] The working medium of the high-temperature alkali metal heat pipe is solid at ambient temperature. The working medium gradually melts in the wick as the heating power increases. As the heating power continues to increase, the temperature of the evaporation section rises, and the working medium vaporizes in the wick and enters the steam channel. The prerequisite for the successful start-up of a high-temperature alkali metal heat pipe is that the working medium can successfully establish a passive circulation between the evaporation section and the condensation section. The working medium mainly relies on the pressure difference generated by the temperature difference between the hot and cold sections to drive from the evaporation section to the condensation section in the steam channel, and mainly relies on capillary force from the condensation section to the evaporation section in the wick. When operating on the surface of a planet, both of these forces will be affected by gravity. Therefore, it is necessary to study the start-up characteristics of high-temperature heat pipes at different inclination angles. In addition, since the heat pipe itself is a slender metal hard pipe, the heat pipe wall is generally designed to be thin. Considering thermal stress and pressure-bearing capacity, when the heat pipe in the condensation section contacts the working medium of the energy conversion device, a pressure-bearing layer is usually sleeved on the surface, and the heat transfer method is mainly cross-flow over rod bundles. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth study on the flow heat transfer characteristics of high-temperature heat pipes.

[0004] Existing high-temperature heat pipe experimental benches often have poor versatility. When designing the experimental bench, only a specific form of the experimental section is used to match other pipelines such as the preheating section, and the versatility is poor. When replacing the experimental section with other forms, the bench often cannot match it. In addition, the parameters of the experimental bench are low and cannot meet the stable operation under a wide range of working conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above problems and meet the experimental requirements, the object of the present invention is to provide a general experimental bench and experimental method for the start-up and flow heat transfer of high-temperature heat pipes. The experimental bench of the present invention has the characteristics of high parameters, wide range and multiple architectures. High parameters mean that the maximum experimental pressure can reach 20 MPa, the maximum temperature of the evaporation section can reach 1000 °C, and the flow rate and heating power can meet the experimental requirements of 3×3 rod bundles at most; wide range means that the experimental temperature can cover from low temperature to relatively high temperature, the experimental pressure can cover from atmospheric pressure to 20 MPa, and the experimental flow rate can range from small flow rate to relatively large flow rate; multiple architectures mean that cold start experiments of single heat pipes and multiple heat pipes can be carried out, flow heat transfer experiments of single heat pipes and multiple heat pipes can be carried out, and passive residual heat removal verification experiments of single heat pipes and multiple heat pipes can also be carried out. A large number of temperature and pressure measurement points are arranged on the experimental bench, which can deeply study the flow and heat transfer characteristics of high-temperature heat pipes.

8. The experimental method of a general experimental bench for high-temperature heat pipe startup and flow heat transfer according to any one of claims 1-7, characterized in that, It includes the following steps: S1: Before the experiment starts, it is necessary to check the opening and closing conditions of each valve of the entire experimental bench to ensure the smoothness of the main path and the bypass; S2: Before the experiment starts, it is necessary to detect leaks in the entire experimental bench to ensure no leakage under high pressure. The experimental bench is pressurized and leak-detected by filling deionized water.
