[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the specific implementation methods thereof are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0032] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The best embodiment of the present invention is a high-temperature and high-pressure test circuit dedicated to a horizontal main pump, including an outlet pipeline 2, an adjustment section pipeline 4, a vertical pipeline 7, a pressure tank 8, an inlet pipeline 11 and a water supply system 9.

[0033] The outlet of the device under test 1 is connected to the inlet of a pressure tank 8 via an outlet pipe 2, an adjustment section pipe 4, and a vertical pipe 7, which are connected in sequence. The outlet of the pressure tank 8 is connected to the inlet of the device under test 1 via an inlet pipe 11. The inlet of the pressure tank 8 is located at the top of the pressure tank, and the outlet of the pressure tank 8 is located at the bottom of the pressure tank.

[0034] A pressure ring 12 and a medium compensation pipeline 15 are arranged in sequence on the outlet pipeline 11 along the medium flow direction. An exhaust valve 13 and a first pressure pipeline 14 are provided on the pressure ring 12; the exhaust valve 13 is arranged at the top of the pressure ring 12, and the exhaust valve 13 assists in exhausting the entire test circuit; the first pressure pipeline 14 is connected to the side of the pressure ring 12 for pipeline pressure collection. The first pressure pipeline 14 adopts a DN15 pipeline. The first pressure pipeline 14 is externally connected to a pressure transmitter 100. In order to facilitate pressure collection and the installation and maintenance of the pressure transmitter, when the high-temperature and high-pressure circuit is built, the distance between the pressure transmitter 100 and the pressure ring 12 is greater than 3m, and the medium temperature here tends to normal temperature.

[0035] The medium compensation pipeline 15 is connected to the water supply system 9 through the water supply stop valve 16. The setting of the medium compensation pipeline 15 can not only improve the water supply capacity of the entire test circuit, but also quickly cool the device under test 1 when the main circuit valve is closed during maintenance of the entire test circuit.

[0036] The water supply system 9 includes a five-way pipe 19 and two groups of high-pressure water supply pumps 17. The two groups of high-pressure water supply pumps 17 are connected to the two interfaces of the five-way pipe 19 through a one-way valve 18. The other interface of the five-way pipe 19 is connected to the medium compensation pipeline 15 through the water supply stop valve 16. The other interface of the five-way pipe 19 is connected to the pressure tank 8. The high-pressure water supply pump 17 is mainly used to supply water to the entire test circuit through the five-way pipe 20. The two groups of high-pressure water supply pumps 17 can not only increase the water supply rate of the entire test circuit system, but also play a role in mutual replacement, preventing damage to a single high-pressure water supply pump and affecting equipment operation. The one-way valve 18 is mainly used to protect the high-pressure water supply pump 17.

[0037] A flowmeter 3 is installed between the outlet pipe 2 and the adjustment section pipe 4. This flowmeter features temperature and pressure compensation to ensure measurement accuracy. The adjustment section pipe 4 is used to adjust the axial dimensions of the entire high-temperature, high-pressure test circuit during construction, ensuring that the entire circuit remains in a stress-relaxed state.

[0038] A first gate valve 5 and a stop valve 6 are sequentially arranged between the connection of the adjustment section pipeline 4 and the vertical pipeline 7; the first gate valve 5 and the stop valve 6 are designed in series, and the first gate valve 5 is arranged at the front end of the stop valve 6. When the entire test circuit is operating normally, the first gate valve 5 is in a normally open state, and the operating flow of the entire test circuit is controlled by adjusting the stop valve 6. After the stop valve 6 is in operation, the sealing performance of the stop valve 6 will decrease due to the high pressure and wear of the entire test circuit. At this time, the setting of the first gate valve 5 can improve the sealing performance of the system, which is beneficial to the maintenance of the entire test circuit. When repairing and replacing the stop valve 6, the first gate valve 5 should be closed before repairing and maintaining it.

[0039] A second gate valve 10 and a drain pipe 26 are sequentially installed on the inlet pipe 11 along the flow direction of the medium. Second gate valve 10 is normally open. When the entire test circuit requires maintenance, second gate valve 10 is closed, eliminating the need for frequent openings and reducing valve wear. When the entire test circuit requires maintenance, all valves in the main circuit are closed, and the drain valve on drain pipe 26 is opened to drain the water. Simultaneously, the water supply shut-off valve 16 is slowly opened to quickly cool the medium temperature at the test end to room temperature, improving the safety of maintenance throughout the entire test circuit.

[0040] The upper portion of the pressure tank 8 is equipped with an exhaust line 20, a second pressure line 21, a safety valve 22, and a liquid level gauge 23. The exhaust line 20 is used to vent the pressure tank 8 during water filling, while the second pressure line 21 is used to test the pressure within the pressure tank 8. The safety valve 22 protects the pressure tank 8 from falling below the set pressure. To ensure safe and reliable operation and convenient operation of the exhaust line 20 and the second pressure line 21, the exhaust line 20 and the second pressure line 21 can each be set to a length of at least 3 meters (depending on the design temperature of the line), and each adopts a "U"-shaped design.

[0041] A pressure tank drainage pipe 25 is provided at the bottom of the pressure tank 8; a pressure stabilizer 24 is connected to the outside of the pressure tank 8 to ensure that the pressure of the pressure tank 8 does not change drastically when the equipment is running, thereby preventing the safety valve 22 from frequently tripping and protecting the equipment under test.

[0042] The pressure tank 8 is also provided with a heating device and a pressure tank drainage pipeline 25, and the high-temperature valves on the pressure tank 8 are all set as electric valves to avoid potential safety hazards caused by human contact.

[0043] The present invention provides a dedicated high-temperature and high-pressure test circuit for a horizontally mounted main pump. During installation, the device under test 1 is fixedly mounted, while the pressure tank 8 is slidably mounted. For example, the device under test 1 is fixed to the ground via a base, and the base of the device under test 1 is fixed to the ground in a fixed manner to prevent vibrations generated during operation. The pressure tank 8 is set on the ground via a support frame 81, and a freely rolling universal ball 82 is provided at the bottom end of the support frame 81 of the pressure tank 8. In this way, the thermal expansion energy of the pipeline pushes the pressure tank 8 to absorb the expansion amount and then slide freely. The two ends of the vertical pipeline 7 are respectively connected to the inlet and adjustment section pipeline 4 of the pressure tank 8 through elbows. The vertical pipeline 7 has the function of absorbing the thermal expansion and deformation of the system. When the high-temperature test circuit is operating, the thermal expansion and deformation difference generated by the inlet and outlet pipelines will be eliminated by the elastic deformation of the vertical pipeline 7, because under normal circumstances, the inlet and outlet pipelines of the device under test 1 have inconsistent structures and different thermal expansion amounts. Usually the length of the vertical pipeline 7 needs to be greater than or equal to 15 times the diameter of the vertical pipeline 7. The vertical pipeline 7 is longer and has greater deflection, which greatly reduces the large stress generated by thermal deformation of the system, replaces the high-pressure expansion joint and reduces the safety risks of the system.

[0044] The high-temperature and high-pressure test circuit dedicated to the horizontally mounted main pump of the present invention further requires a supporting device to fix and support various equipment and pipelines.

[0045] When the high-temperature and high-pressure test circuit dedicated to the horizontal main pump of the present invention is in use, the high-temperature and high-pressure medium in the pressure tank enters the device under test 1 from the outlet through the inlet pipe 11, and then enters the pressure tank through the outlet pipe 2, the adjustment section pipe 4 and the vertical pipe 7 in sequence, so that the performance and durability tests of the device under test 1 can be carried out.

[0046] The present invention's dedicated high-temperature, high-pressure test circuit for a horizontally mounted main pump eliminates the need for a separate cooling circuit. When cooling is required, the pressure tank's heating system can be turned off, and the drain valve on the pressure tank drain line 25 and the high-pressure make-up pump 17 of the water supply system 9 can be opened. Cold water is then directed through the five-way pipe 19 into the pressure tank 8, where it is thoroughly mixed. By controlling the water replenishment and drainage rates, the cooling rate of the equipment under test can be controlled.

[0047] In summary, the high-temperature and high-pressure test circuit dedicated to the horizontal main pump of the present invention has a simple structural principle, convenient operation and maintenance, safety and reliability, low operating cost, and strong versatility, and can be used for performance and durability tests of horizontal main pump equipment.

[0048] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are merely intended to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. As long as they are within the spirit of the present invention, any changes or modifications to the above embodiments will fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
