[0066] The specific embodiments of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation details. The described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0067] This application provides a method for testing the performance of a high-temperature heat pipe. By heating the high-temperature heat pipe to its full load state, the method measures the flow rate, outlet temperature, and inlet temperature of the cooling medium required to cool the heat pipe to accurately calculate the heat flux density. This achieves precise measurement of the high-temperature heat pipe's output power, enabling accurate assessment of its performance. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0068] Step 101: Heat the high-temperature heat pipe to be tested using the first heating method to bring the high-temperature heat pipe to full load.
[0069] For ease of understanding, the embodiments of this application are based on a high-temperature heat pipe performance testing device to complete the testing of high-temperature heat pipe performance. For the sake of clarity, the high-temperature heat pipe performance testing device will be described below. Figure 1a This is a schematic diagram of a high-temperature heat pipe performance testing device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1a As shown, 1 is the high-temperature heat pipe to be tested, 2 is the electromagnetic induction coil heating device and the material to reduce magnetic leakage, 3 is the high-temperature thermocouple, 4 is the single tube heat exchanger, 5 is the air compressor, 6 is the test circuit switch, 7 is the test circuit flow meter, 8 is the inlet thermometer, and 9 is the outlet thermometer.
[0070] The following embodiments detail how to base on Figure 1a The process of testing the high-temperature heat pipe performance using the device shown:
[0071] To better test the performance of high-temperature heat pipes, the high-temperature heat pipes first need to be heated to full load. In this embodiment, the full load state is defined as the condition under which the evaporation section of the high-temperature heat pipe experiences a significant local temperature rise or significant oscillation and instability. This indicates that the high-temperature heat pipe has reached its heat transfer limit under the test condition, and further increasing the power may cause the high-temperature heat pipe to burn out or be damaged. The heat transfer power of the high-temperature heat pipe when it just reaches the heat transfer limit is considered to be the full load power, which is the output power.
[0072] In the specific implementation process, the first heating method used to heat to full load includes any one of the following: electromagnetic induction coil heating, electric heating wire heating, resistance heating, induction heating, electric arc heating, electron beam heating, infrared heating, and dielectric heating. The following embodiments will use electromagnetic induction coil heating as the first heating method for explanation. This heating method has a fast heating speed and simple test setup.
[0073] It should be noted that this description is not intended to limit the first heating method described in the embodiments of this application to only electromagnetic induction coil heating. Any high-temperature heat pipe heating method that can realize the detection method described in the embodiments of this application is within the protection scope of this application.
[0074] As an example, such as Figure 1b As shown, Figure 1b This is a schematic diagram of an electromagnetic induction coil heating device provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0075] The basic components of a heat pipe induction heating system include: 1. an AC power supply; 2. a circuit switch; 3. an electromagnetic induction coil; 4. a heat pipe workpiece to be heated; and 5. insulation material. Depending on the heating length of the heat pipe's evaporation section, the electromagnetic induction coil can be made into different shapes. The electromagnetic induction coil is connected to the power supply, which provides alternating current to the coil. This alternating current generates an alternating magnetic field through the workpiece. When the high-temperature heat pipe to be tested is inserted into the customized induction heating coil, this magnetic field induces eddy currents in the workpiece, thus heating it. The induction heating device is placed inside the magnetically conductive and insulation materials to reduce heat dissipation and interference from the magnetic field on the external environment. This design allows for simultaneous and independent control of the heating power of multiple induction heating devices, enabling efficient and rapid testing of multiple alkali metal heat pipes.
[0076] The high-temperature heat pipe described in this application embodiment can be any one of a high-temperature sodium heat pipe, a high-temperature potassium heat pipe, a high-temperature lithium heat pipe, or a high-temperature sodium-potassium heat pipe. This application embodiment does not limit the specific type of high-temperature heat pipe.
[0077] Step 102: When the high-temperature heat pipe reaches the full load state, detect the flow rate of the cooling medium required to cool the high-temperature heat pipe, the outlet temperature of the cooling medium, and the inlet temperature of the cooling medium.
[0078] High-temperature heat pipes, as enclosed heat transfer elements, are divided axially into an evaporation section, an adiabatic section, and a condensation section. The high-temperature heat pipe is heated in the evaporation section and cooled in the condensation section to achieve heat transfer. To make the operating conditions of the high-temperature heat pipe under test as close as possible to actual operating conditions, the condensation section of the high-temperature heat pipe needs to be cooled. Therefore, this application embodiment provides a single-tube heat exchanger for a single high-temperature heat pipe, namely… Figure 1a 4.
[0079] To better understand the experimental apparatus of the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1c As shown, Figure 1c This is a schematic diagram of a single-tube heat exchanger provided in an embodiment of this application. 1 is a high-temperature thermocouple, 2 is the outlet and connector of the single-tube heat exchanger, 3 is the inlet and connector of the single-tube heat exchanger, 4 is the fins and baffles of the single-tube heat exchanger, and 5 is the shell of the single-tube heat exchanger. This embodiment of the application uses forced air convection cooling to cool the high-temperature heat pipe under test, and measures the airflow and inlet / outlet temperatures of the air heat exchanger. The inlet and outlet pipes are DN20. The single-tube heat exchanger has 5 baffles with a thickness of 1mm, and 120 fins with a thickness of 1mm and a slit width of 2mm. The baffle orifice height is 8.25mm, and the baffles and fins are at the same height.
[0080] Compared to related technologies that directly use the heater's power as the output power of the high-temperature heat pipe, this application's embodiment calculates the precise output power by detecting the flow rate, outlet temperature, and inlet temperature of the cooling medium when the high-temperature heat pipe reaches full load. To obtain the operating parameters of the high-temperature heat pipe under test at full load, the following methods are used: Figure 1a In step 2 (electromagnetic induction coil heating device), the heating element 1 (high-temperature heat pipe to be tested) heats the heat pipe to full load; then the heating element is turned on. Figure 1a 6 (test circuit switch) in the middle, through Figure 1a 5 (air compressor) provides forced convection air for cooling 4 (single-tube heat exchanger); when the high-temperature heat pipe to be tested reaches the full load state, it is through Figure 1a 7 (test loop flow meter), 8 (inlet thermometer), and 9 (outlet thermometer) are used to measure the air volume flow rate, inlet temperature, and outlet temperature of the single-tube heat exchanger, respectively.
[0081] Cooling methods include any one of natural air convection / cooling, forced air convection cooling, water cooling, oil cooling, and coolant cooling. This application uses forced air convection cooling as an example for illustration; however, it should be clarified that this description is not intended to limit the cooling method to forced air convection. Any cooling method capable of implementing the detection method described in this application's embodiments is within the protection scope of this application.
[0082] Step 103: Calculate the output power of the high-temperature heat pipe based on the flow rate of the cooling medium, the outlet temperature of the cooling medium, and the inlet temperature of the cooling medium.
[0083] Based on the flow rate, outlet temperature, and inlet temperature of the cooling medium detected in step 102, according to the formula P0 = ρQC p (t out -t in The output power P0 of the high-temperature heat pipe under full load is obtained. Where P0 is the output power of the high-temperature heat pipe, ρ is the density of air, Q is the volumetric flow rate of air, and C... p t is the specific heat capacity of air at constant pressure. out t represents the outlet temperature of the cooling medium. in This is the inlet temperature of the cooling medium.
[0084] Step 104: Calculate the heat flux density of the high-temperature heat pipe when it is operating at full load, based on the cross-sectional area of the high-temperature heat pipe and the output power P0.
[0085] Based on the output power P0 calculated in step 103 and the cross-sectional area of the high-temperature heat pipe, further calculations are performed using the formula:
[0086]
[0087] The heat flux density of the high-temperature heat pipe under full load is obtained.
[0088] Where q is the heat flux density, P0 is the output power of the high-temperature heat pipe, and r is the radius of the high-temperature heat pipe.
[0089] Step 105: Determine the performance of the high-temperature heat pipe based on the heat flux density.
[0090] Heat flux density is the amount of heat transferred per unit area of cross-section per unit time. It is an important indicator of the heat dissipation performance of a device or equipment and a crucial parameter for evaluating the performance of a high-temperature heat pipe. Based on the heat flux density q calculated in step 104, the performance of the high-temperature heat pipe can be determined.
[0091] This application provides a method for testing the performance of a high-temperature heat pipe. The method involves heating the high-temperature heat pipe under test using a first heating method until it reaches full load. When the heat pipe reaches full load, the flow rate, outlet temperature, and inlet temperature of the cooling medium required to cool the heat pipe are measured. The output power P0 of the high-temperature heat pipe is calculated based on these parameters. The heat flux density of the high-temperature heat pipe at full load is calculated based on its cross-sectional area and the output power P0. The performance of the high-temperature heat pipe is then determined based on the heat flux density. Compared to related technologies that directly use the heater power as the output power of the high-temperature heat pipe, this method achieves accurate measurement of the high-temperature heat pipe's output power by calculating the heat flux density under full load, thereby improving the accuracy of high-temperature heat pipe performance testing.
[0092] To comprehensively assess the performance of high-temperature heat pipes, performance can be judged not only by heat flux density but also by the wall temperature characteristics during low-power startup and under reduced power conditions. For example... Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating another method for testing the performance of a high-temperature heat pipe, provided in an embodiment of this application. This method determines the performance of the high-temperature heat pipe by detecting its wall temperature characteristics during low-power startup and under reduced power conditions. The method includes the following steps:
[0093] Step 201: Based on the output power, set the initial heating power and power increase step size for the second heating method.
[0094] In specific implementation, the second heating method includes any one of the following: electromagnetic induction coil heating, electric heating wire heating, resistance heating, induction heating, electric arc heating, electron beam heating, infrared heating, and dielectric heating. The following embodiments will be described with electric heating wire heating as the second heating method. This heating method has accurate power control and precise heating power measurement.
[0095] It should be noted that this description is not intended to limit the second heating method described in the embodiments of this application to only electric heating wire heating. Any high-temperature heat pipe heating method that can realize the detection method described in the embodiments of this application is within the protection scope of this application.
[0096] Based on the output power P0 calculated in the above embodiments and the test objectives, the initial heating power and power increase step size used for heating the heating wire are set. Generally, we can set the initial heating power to 10% to 20% of the output power P0 according to the test objectives, and increase the power with a power increase step size of 10%P0 / 30mins.
[0097] Step 202: Based on the initial heating power and the power increase step size, control the heating of the high-temperature heat pipe until it reaches full load.
[0098] To facilitate understanding, specific examples will be used below. Figure 2a A schematic diagram of another high-temperature heat pipe performance testing device provided in this application. Figure 2a As shown, 1 is a high-temperature thermocouple, 2 is a heating wire, 3 is the high-temperature heat pipe to be tested, 4 is the cooling medium outlet of the single-tube heat exchanger, 5 is the cooling medium inlet of the single-tube heat exchanger, 6 is the heat exchange fins and baffles inside the single-tube heat exchanger, 7 is the shell of the single-tube heat exchanger, 8 is the insulation material of the evaporation section of the high-temperature heat pipe to be tested, and 9 is the insulation material of the insulation section of the high-temperature heat pipe to be tested.
[0099] In the specific implementation process, the power control device used in this application is a programmable power controller. However, it should be noted that the embodiments of this application are not limited to programmable power controllers. Any method that can realize the detection method described in this application to change the heating power is within the protection scope of this application.
[0100] Based on the set initial heating power and power increment step, the programmable power controller controls the process. Figure 2a The power of 2 (heating wire) in 2a is used to control the heating of 3 (high-temperature heat pipe to be tested) in 2a until it reaches full load.
[0101] Step 203: Record the temperature of the outer wall surface during the heating process of the high-temperature heat pipe, and determine the first peak temperature of the outer wall surface.
[0102] To detect the temperature of the outer wall surface during the heating process of the high-temperature heat pipe, embodiments of this application employ a K-type high-temperature thermocouple arranged on the outer wall surface of the high-temperature heat pipe for temperature measurement, such as... Figure 2a As shown in Figure 1. It should be noted that the temperature measuring device in this application embodiment is not limited to a type K high-temperature thermocouple. Any temperature measuring method that can realize the detection method described in this application embodiment is within the protection scope of this application.
[0103] K-type high-temperature thermocouples are arranged on the wall of the high-temperature heat pipe, and the K-type thermocouples should be in close contact with the wall of the high-temperature heat pipe. High-temperature fixing thermal conductive adhesive is applied on them to make the temperature measurement more accurate. K-type high-temperature thermocouples are arranged along the axial and radial directions of the surface of the high-temperature heat pipe and connected to the temperature acquisition and recording equipment to accurately measure the temperature change and peak temperature of the outer wall of the high-temperature heat pipe.
[0104] In practical applications, high-temperature heat pipes have complex evaporation and condensation flow heat transfer. When the heat pipe is under a certain heat load, the two-phase circulation of the working fluid cannot be maintained stably. When the working fluid dries up in some areas and cannot work, it is considered that the heat transfer limit has been reached. High-temperature heat pipes commonly encounter viscosity limit, sound velocity limit and capillary limit during operation. When the heat transfer limit is reached, the wall temperature may rise sharply, resulting in a peak wall temperature.
[0105] Step 204: Determine the wall temperature characteristics of the high-temperature heat pipe during low-power startup based on the first peak temperature and the preset first normal operating range of the high-temperature heat pipe.
[0106] The wall temperature characteristics of a high-temperature heat pipe during low-power startup reflect the operating temperature and axial temperature difference of the heat pipe under a certain axial heat transfer flow rate, and reflect the axial thermal resistance of the heat pipe. The performance of the high-temperature heat pipe can be characterized by the above wall temperature characteristics.
[0107] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating another method for testing the performance of a high-temperature heat pipe provided in this application embodiment, the method comprising the following steps:
[0108] Step 301: After the high-temperature heat pipe reaches the full load state, adjust the heating power to the stable working state of the high-temperature heat pipe. The stable working state of the high-temperature heat pipe is the working state that meets the preset performance test standard, where the working temperature of the high-temperature heat pipe changes by less than 1°C within a preset time period.
[0109] For a better understanding, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2a After the high-temperature heat pipe reaches full load, we adjust it using a programmable power controller. Figure 2a The power of 2 (heating wire) in the high-temperature heat pipe is adjusted to the stable operating state of the high-temperature heat pipe. According to GB / T 14812-2008 Test Method for Heat Transfer Performance of Heat Pipe, the stable operating state of a high-temperature heat pipe is generally considered to be when the test operating temperature of the high-temperature heat pipe changes by less than 1℃ within 30 minutes, and various test data can be measured and recorded.
[0110] Step 302: Set the heating power corresponding to the stable working state as the starting power of the power reduction process.
[0111] The starting power of the so-called power reduction process is the stable operating power of the high-temperature heat pipe, which is a fixed power value that is less than the heat transfer limit power P0 of the heat pipe; the power corresponding to the stable working state of the high-temperature heat pipe obtained in step 301 is set as the starting power in the implementation process of this embodiment.
[0112] Step 303: Based on the initial power, set the power reduction step size for the second heating method.
[0113] The step size and degree of power reduction can be set according to the experimental requirements to study the performance changes of high-temperature heat pipes at different power levels.
[0114] Step 304: Control the heating of the high-temperature heat pipe according to the initial power and the power reduction step size.
[0115] Based on the starting power and power reduction step size set in steps 302 and 303, a programmable power controller is used to control the power reduction process. Figure 2a The heating control is performed on the 3 (high-temperature heat pipe to be tested).
[0116] Step 305: Record the temperature of the outer wall surface during the heating process of the high-temperature heat pipe, and determine the second peak temperature of the outer wall surface.
[0117] pass Figure 2a In the first part, the high-temperature thermocouple measures the temperature of the outer wall of the high-temperature heat pipe. The high-temperature thermocouple is connected to a temperature acquisition and recording device to record temperature changes and peak temperatures.
[0118] Step 306: Determine the wall temperature characteristics of the high-temperature heat pipe under power reduction conditions based on the second peak temperature and the preset second normal operating range of the high-temperature heat pipe.
[0119] By comparing the peak temperature obtained in step 305 with the preset temperature of the high-temperature heat pipe in the normal operating range, the wall temperature characteristics of the high-temperature heat pipe under power reduction conditions are determined.
[0120] The wall temperature characteristics of a high-temperature heat pipe under power reduction conditions reflect the operating temperature of the heat pipe under a certain axial heat transfer flow rate and the axial temperature difference of the heat pipe, and reflect the axial thermal resistance of the heat pipe. The performance of the high-temperature heat pipe can be characterized by the above wall temperature characteristics.
[0121] In summary, the embodiments of this application can achieve the following effects:
[0122] By heating the high-temperature heat pipe under test to bring it to full load, the flow rate, outlet temperature, and inlet temperature of the cooling medium required to cool the heat pipe are measured when the heat pipe reaches full load.
