[0022] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0023] The high-temperature ball-passing equipment break-in test system of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the high-temperature spherical refueling equipment break-in test system of this invention includes: a spherical refueling device 11, a pressure regulating device, a vacuum device, and a gas storage device.

[0025] The ball-passing device 11 has a high-pressure end and a low-pressure end. The low-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11 is connected to the input end of the pressure regulating device via a pipeline, and the output end of the pressure regulating device is connected to the high-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11 via a pipeline. The pressure regulating device is used to adjust the pressure difference between the high-pressure end and the output end of the ball-passing device 11. The ball-passing device 11, the pressure regulating device, and the pipeline between the ball-passing device 11 and the pressure regulating device together form the test circuit. The vacuum device is connected to the pipeline between the ball-passing device 11 and the pressure regulating device, and is used to evacuate the test circuit. The gas storage device is connected to the pipeline between the ball-passing device 11 and the pressure regulating device, and is used to fill the test circuit with test gas.

[0026] Among them, the ball-passing device 11 is a newly developed dedicated ball-passing device in the ball-bed high-temperature reactor loading and unloading system. In the ball-bed high-temperature reactor loading and unloading system, it is used to perform functions such as single-mode delivery of spherical fuel elements and helium flow obstruction. The ball-passing device 11 is the test object in the high-temperature reactor ball-passing device break-in test system of this embodiment of the invention. Its stability under a certain pressure difference is fully verified to meet the requirements of relevant regulatory guidelines.

[0027] Those skilled in the art will understand that the ball-passing device 11 has a high-pressure end and a low-pressure end, and there is a certain pressure difference between the high-pressure end and the low-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11. The high-temperature reactor ball-passing equipment break-in test system of this embodiment of the invention is used to test the ball-passing equipment. The test conditions are based on the pressure difference of the ball-passing device 11 being in the range of 30-100 kPa, and the ball-passing device 11 is run under no-load to verify the various performance characteristics of the ball-passing device 11.

[0028] Optionally, the pressure regulating device is connected to the high-pressure end and the low-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11, and the pressure regulating device is used to adjust the pressure difference between the high-pressure end and the low-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11. Furthermore, the ball-passing device 11, the pipeline between the high-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11 and the pressure regulating device, the pressure regulating device, and the pipeline between the low-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11 and the pressure regulating device together form a test circuit, in which the test fluid medium flows.

[0029] Furthermore, both the vacuum device and the gas storage device are connected to the test circuit. Understandably, before the test begins, the entire test circuit is first evacuated using the vacuum device. After evacuation, the test gas (helium) is then introduced into the test circuit through the gas storage device to serve as the fluid medium. Once the introduced gas reaches the preset pressure, the pressure regulating device is activated to stabilize the pressure difference between the high-pressure and low-pressure ends of the ball-passing device 11 within 30-100 kPa. Finally, the drive mechanism of the ball-passing device 11 is activated, and the device operates under no-load, thus initiating the test.

[0030] Therefore, the high-temperature spherical reactor running-in test system of this invention uses a pressure regulating device to stably control the pressure difference range between the high-pressure end and the low-pressure end of the spherical reactor 11, thereby verifying the performance of the test equipment (spherical reactor 11) in no-load mode and ensuring it meets the requirements of relevant regulations and guidelines. Furthermore, before the test, the test circuit is evacuated using a vacuum device, and then test gas is introduced into the test circuit through a gas storage device to ensure the reliability of the test. Moreover, according to the pressure changes in the test circuit, the test gas is quickly replenished through the gas storage device to improve test efficiency.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pressure regulating device includes a compressor 12 and a buffer tank 13. The input end of the compressor 12 is connected to the input end of the buffer tank 13 via a pipeline, the output end of the buffer tank 13 is connected to the high-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11 via a pipeline, and the low-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11 is connected to the input end of the compressor 12 via a pipeline.

[0032] Understandably, the buffer tank 13 is used to temporarily store the gas supplied by the compressor 12, thus stabilizing the test circuit. When the test gas supplied to the test circuit by the gas storage device reaches the preset pressure, the compressor 12 is started, and the frequency of the compressor 12 is adjusted to keep the ball-passing device 11 within a stable pressure difference range.

[0033] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pipeline between the ball-passing device 11 and the compressor 12 is the first vent pipe, the pipeline between the compressor 12 and the buffer tank 13 is the second vent pipe, and the pipeline between the buffer tank 13 and the ball-passing device 11 is the third vent pipe.

[0034] The compressor 12 draws gas from the low-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11 through the first vent pipe, compresses it, and then sends it to the buffer tank 13 through the second vent pipe for buffering and pressure stabilization. Then, it is transported to the high-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11 through the third vent pipe, so that there is a pressure difference between the high-pressure end and the low-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11, thereby conducting a test of the ball-passing device 11 running under no-load under a certain pressure difference.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first check valve 101 is provided on the pipeline between the ball-passing device 11 and the compressor 12, so that the fluid medium flows to the compressor 12 through the first check valve 101. A second check valve 102 is provided on the pipeline between the compressor 12 and the buffer tank 13, so that the fluid medium flows to the buffer tank 13 through the second check valve 102.

[0036] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first one-way valve 101 is provided on the first vent pipe, and a second one-way valve 102 is provided on the second vent pipe. It can be understood that the first one-way valve 101 is used to control the gas in the first vent pipe to flow unidirectionally into the compressor 12, and the second one-way valve 102 is used to control the gas in the second vent pipe to flow unidirectionally into the buffer tank 13, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of gas backflow in the test circuit.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first isolation valve 103 is provided on the pipeline between the ball-passing device 11 and the first one-way valve 101, a second isolation valve 104 is provided on the pipeline between the second one-way valve 102 and the buffer tank 13, and a third isolation valve 105 is provided on the pipeline between the buffer tank 13 and the ball-passing device 11.

[0038] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first vent pipe is also equipped with a first isolation valve 103, which is located between the ball-passing device 11 and the first one-way valve 101. The second vent pipe is also equipped with a second isolation valve 104, which is located between the buffer tank 13 and the second one-way valve 102. The third vent pipe is equipped with a third isolation valve 105. It can be understood that the first isolation valve 103 is used to control the opening and closing of the first vent pipe, the second isolation valve 104 is used to control the opening and closing of the second vent pipe, and the third isolation valve 105 is used to control the opening and closing of the third vent pipe.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a differential pressure gauge 201 and a pressure gauge 202. The differential pressure gauge 201 is connected to the pipeline at the high-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11 and the pipeline at the low-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11. The pressure gauge 202 is connected to the buffer tank 13.

[0040] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, differential pressure gauge 201 is connected to the first vent pipe and the third vent pipe via pipelines. Differential pressure gauge 201 is used to monitor the pressure difference between the high-pressure end and the low-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11. Pressure gauge 202 is connected to buffer tank 13 via pipelines. Pressure gauge 202 is used to monitor the pressure of buffer tank 13.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the vacuum device includes a vacuum pump 14 and a suction pipe. The vacuum pump 14 is connected to the pipeline between the ball-passing device 11 and the compressor 12 via the suction pipe. A vacuum pump isolation valve 106 is provided on the suction pipe.

[0042] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, one end of the suction pipe is connected to the first vent pipe, and the connection between the suction pipe and the first vent pipe is located between the first isolation valve 103 and the first one-way valve 101. The other end of the suction pipe is connected to the suction end of the vacuum pump 14, and the exhaust end of the vacuum pump 14 is connected to the outside, so that the vacuum pump 14 evacuates the test circuit before the test begins.

[0043] Furthermore, a vacuum pump isolation valve 106 is installed on the evacuation pipe, which is used to control the opening and closing of the evacuation pipe. Thus, before the test begins, the vacuum pump isolation valve 106 is opened, and the vacuum pump 14 is started to evacuate the test circuit. After the evacuation is completed, the vacuum pump isolation valve 106 and the vacuum pump 14 are closed.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the gas storage device includes a gas storage tank 15, a main pipe, a first sub-pipe, and a second sub-pipe. The main pipe is connected to the pipeline between the ball-passing device 11 and the compressor 12. One end of the first sub-pipe is connected to the main pipe, and the other end of the first sub-pipe is connected to the gas storage tank 15. The first sub-pipe is equipped with a gas storage tank isolation valve 107. One end of the second sub-pipe is connected to the main pipe, and the other end of the second sub-pipe is connected to the outside. The second sub-pipe is equipped with a pressure relief valve 108.

[0045] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, one end of the main pipe is connected to the first vent pipe, and the connection between the main pipe and the first vent pipe is located between the first isolation valve 103 and the first one-way valve 101. One end of the first sub-pipe and one end of the first sub-pipe are both connected to the other end of the main pipe. The other end of the first sub-pipe is connected to the gas storage tank 15, and the other end of the second sub-pipe is connected to the outside.

[0046] The gas storage tank 15 is used to store helium gas. The gas storage tank 15 is used to fill the test circuit with test gas through the first daughter pipe and the mother pipe. After the test, the test circuit is depressurized through the mother pipe and the second daughter pipe.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first sub-pipe is equipped with a gas storage tank isolation valve 107, which is used to control the opening and closing of the first sub-pipe. The second sub-pipe is equipped with a pressure relief valve 108, which is used to control the opening and closing of the second sub-pipe.

[0048] Therefore, after the test circuit is evacuated, the gas storage tank isolation valve 107 is opened, and the test gas is introduced into the test circuit through the gas storage tank 15. Alternatively, during the test, when the test circuit needs to be replenished with test gas, the gas storage tank isolation valve 107 is opened. After the test is completed, the pressure relief valve 108 is opened to release the pressure in the test circuit.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a dust adder 16, which is connected to the low-pressure end of the ball passing device 11 via a pipeline. An adder isolation valve 110 is provided on the pipeline between the dust adder 16 and the ball passing device 11.

[0050] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the dust additive 16 has a dust inlet and a dust outlet. The dust inlet of the dust additive 16 is connected to a first dust pipe, and a dust filling isolation valve 109 is provided on the first dust pipe to control the opening and closing of the first dust pipe. The dust outlet of the dust additive 16 is connected to the low-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11 via a pipeline. The dust additive 16 is equipped with multiple sets of dust storage tubes, which store graphite dust. Graphite dust can be added to the ball-passing device 11 periodically and quantitatively according to experimental requirements to simulate the actual operating conditions of the ball-passing device 11.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pipeline between the dust adder 16 and the ball-passing device 11 is a second dust pipe, which is equipped with an adder isolation valve 110 to control the opening and closing of the second dust pipe. Understandably, before the test, the dust addition isolation valve 109 is opened, and a certain amount of graphite dust is added to the dust adder 16 through the first dust pipe, after which the dust addition isolation valve is closed. After the test begins, the adder isolation valve 110 is opened, and graphite dust is periodically and quantitatively added to the ball-passing device 11. Thus, by setting up the dust adder 16, various harsh dust operating environments in the field are simulated, and the impact of graphite dust on the operation of the ball-passing device 11 is explored.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a dust filter 17 and a purge pipe. The ball-passing device 11 also has a dust discharge end, and the dust filter 17 is connected to the dust discharge end of the ball-passing device 11 via a pipeline. A filter isolation valve 111 is provided on the pipeline between the dust filter 17 and the ball-passing device 11. One end of the purge pipe is connected to the pipeline between the ball-passing device 11 and the first isolation valve 103, and the other end of the purge pipe is connected to the pipeline between the buffer tank 13 and the third isolation valve 105. A dust removal isolation valve 112 is provided on the purge pipe.

[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 1As shown, the input end of the dust filter 17 is connected to the dust discharge end of the ball-passing device 11 via a pipeline, and the output end of the dust filter 17 is connected to the outside. One end of the purge pipe is connected to the first vent pipe, and the connection between the purge pipe and the first vent pipe is located between the ball-passing device 11 and the first isolation valve 103. The other end of the purge pipe is connected to the third vent pipe, and the connection between the purge pipe and the third vent pipe is located between the buffer tank 13 and the third isolation valve 105.

[0054] Understandably, the dust filter 17 is used to periodically collect and clean excess graphite dust in the high-temperature ball-bearing equipment break-in test system of this embodiment of the invention. For example, by closing the first isolation valve 103 and the third isolation valve 105, and opening the dust removal isolation valve 112 and the filter isolation valve 111, the pressure in the test circuit is higher than the external pressure, allowing the pipeline to be purged using the pressure in the test circuit, so that the dust in the pipeline enters the dust filter 17 for filtration and collection. Furthermore, the compressor 12 can also be used to purge the pipeline.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, a heating band 203 is provided on the outer shell of the ball-passing device 11. It can be understood that the heating band 203 covers the outer shell of the ball-passing device 11 and is used to heat the ball-passing device 11 to simulate the ambient temperature of actual working conditions.

[0056] The following describes the high-temperature ball-forming equipment break-in test method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] The high-temperature reactor briquetting equipment break-in test method of this invention is used in the high-temperature reactor briquetting equipment break-in test system in the above embodiments, and the method includes:

[0058] The vacuum device evacuates the test circuit.

[0059] The gas storage device fills the test circuit with test gas until the preset test pressure is reached.

[0060] The pressure regulating device adjusts the pressure difference between the high-pressure end and the low-pressure end of the ball-passing device 11 to stabilize it within 30-100 kPa.

[0061] The ball-passing device 11 was tested under no-load conditions.

[0062] Specifically, before the test, ensure that all isolation valves in the entire high-temperature spherical refueling equipment break-in test system are in the closed state.

[0063] Experimental preparation:

[0064] S1: Open the dust isolation valve 109, add a certain amount of graphite dust into the dust adder 16, and then close the dust isolation valve 109.

[0065] S2: After opening the first one-way valve 101, the second one-way valve 102, the first isolation valve 103, the second isolation valve 104, and the third isolation valve 105, open the vacuum pump isolation valve 106 and start the vacuum pump 14 to evacuate the test circuit. After evacuation is complete, close the vacuum pump isolation valve 106.

[0066] Experiment Implementation:

[0067] S1: Open the gas storage tank isolation valve 107, and charge the test gas into the test circuit through the gas storage tank 15 until the preset test pressure is reached, and then close the gas storage tank isolation valve 107.

[0068] S2: Activate the heating belt 203 to heat the test object (ball-passing device 11) to the preset temperature (temperature range of 80-150℃).

[0069] S3: Start compressor 12, adjust the frequency of compressor 12, and observe the differential pressure gauge 201 to ensure it is stable within the differential pressure range of 30-100 kPa.

[0070] S4: Start the drive mechanism of the ball-passing device 11.

[0071] S5: Open the adder isolation valve 110 to add the preset amount of graphite dust to the ball-passing device 11, and close the adder isolation valve 110 after the graphite dust addition is completed.

[0072] S6: Set the no-load operating frequency of the ball-passing device 11. The ball-passing device 11 stops operating after completing 300,000 revolutions.

[0073] S7: Close the first isolation valve 103 and the second isolation valve 104, open the dust removal isolation valve 112 and the filter isolation valve 111, blow away the dust in the test circuit, and use the dust filter 17 to clean and collect the graphite powder.

[0074] S8: Repeat steps S1-S7 to fully verify the performance of the ball-passing device 11 under various operating conditions.

[0075] After the experiment:

[0076] Shut down the drive mechanisms of compressor 12 and ball-passing device 11, open pressure relief valve 108 to depressurize the test circuit. Then, disassemble the connection between ball-passing device 11 and the system, and check the structural integrity of the equipment.

[0077] Therefore, the high-temperature sphere forming device break-in test method of this embodiment establishes a test loop with a stable pressure difference, which can fully verify the various performance characteristics of the sphere forming device 11 in no-load mode.
