The water hammer impact caused by this phenomenon can seriously damage the pipeline and related equipment and affect the safe operation of the system. Research on the condensation water hammer phenomenon and its load characteristics is of great significance to the safe operation of ocean nuclear power systems and has been widely concerned by domestic and foreign research institutions and scholars. Ocean nuclear power devices are affected by wind, waves, swells and other external environments to cause sloshing motion, which affects the gas-liquid two-phase flow heat transfer characteristics in the pipe and significantly affects the formation and load characteristics of condensation water hammer, resulting in more complex condensation water hammer phenomenon in ocean nuclear power devices than in land environment. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out condensation water hammer test under sloshing condition and master the condensation water hammer characteristics under ocean sloshing condition.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, illustrates several preferred embodiments of the present invention to make its technical content clearer and easier to understand. The present invention can be embodied in many different forms, and the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments mentioned herein.

[0039] In the accompanying drawings, components with the same structure are indicated by the same numerical designation, and components with similar structures or functions are indicated by similar numerical designations. The dimensions and thicknesses of each component shown in the drawings are arbitrary, and the present invention does not limit the dimensions and thicknesses of each component. To make the illustrations clearer, the thickness of some components has been appropriately exaggerated in the drawings.

[0040] like Figure 1As shown, this invention provides a condensate hammer test device under sloshing conditions with backflow prevention. The piping system includes a main circuit steam pipe, a bypass branch, an end branch, and a test section pipe. One end of the main circuit steam pipe is connected to a steam generator 1, and the other end is connected to an anti-backflow device 9, which is used to adjust the steam generated by the steam generator 1 according to the test conditions, so that steam with a specified temperature, pressure, and mass flow rate is injected into the test section pipe 11. The main circuit steam pipeline includes: a first vortex flow meter 201 to measure the steam flow rate at the steam generator outlet; a first thermocouple 301 and a first static pressure sensor 401 to measure the steam pressure and temperature at the steam generator outlet; a gas-liquid separator 5 equipped with a sight glass to ensure the steam in the main circuit is dry and to observe the separated water level in real time; a first ball valve 601, a normally open valve, used to control the opening and closing of the main circuit steam pipeline; a first electric regulating valve 701 to adjust the valve opening according to the output signals of the mass flow meter 8 and the second vortex flow meter 202, with the aim of obtaining the steam flow rate specified under experimental conditions; a second ball valve 602 to open after the steam pressure, flow rate, and temperature in the main circuit steam pipeline have been regulated; and a third thermocouple 303 and a third static pressure sensor 403 to measure the steam temperature and pressure injected into the anti-backflow device 9.

[0041] The bypass branch, in conjunction with the main circuit steam pipeline, regulates the steam flow rate entering the test section pipeline 11. Two branches are set up, each equipped with an air compressor 15 and a second electric regulating valve 702. Before the experiment, the fifth ball valve 605 is opened and the fourth ball valve 604 is closed. The air compressor 15 is used to purge the pipeline system to remove residual condensate. During the experiment, the fourth ball valve 604 is opened and the fifth ball valve 605 is closed. The second electric regulating valve 702 is used to fine-tune the steam flow rate of the main circuit.

[0042] The terminal branch, in conjunction with the main circuit steam pipeline, regulates the temperature and pressure of the steam entering the test section pipeline 11. Located before the second ball valve 602, it is equipped with a third ball valve 603, a fourth thermocouple 304, and a fourth static pressure sensor 404. These components are installed symmetrically with the second ball valve 602, the third thermocouple 303, and the third static pressure sensor 403. During the experiment, the third ball valve 603 is opened first, and the second ball valve 602 is closed. Once the readings of the fourth thermocouple 304 and the fourth static pressure sensor 404 are stable at the required test conditions, the third ball valve 603 is closed, and the fourth ball valve 604 is opened, ensuring that the steam properties injected into the test section pipeline 11 meet the test requirements.

[0043] The dimensions of the test section pipe 11 are consistent with those of an actual passive marine waste heat discharge pipe. During the experiment, condensation hammer occurred in the test section pipe 11. Pressure sensors, thermocouples, and visualization observation equipment were installed on the test section pipe 11 to study the pressure fluctuations, temperature changes, and gas-liquid two-phase flow characteristics during condensation hammer. The end of the test section pipe 11 is connected to a water tank 13 via a second flexible hose 12. The water tank 13 is used to simulate the actual marine environment, and a chiller 14 is used to maintain a constant water temperature in the tank.

[0044] The front end of the test section pipe 11 is connected to the anti-backflow device 9 via a flange. The anti-backflow device 9 is fixed on the six-degree-of-freedom swaying table 10. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the anti-backflow device 9 includes: a cavity shell 93 for heat preservation and observation of the internal gas-liquid two-phase flow; and a first flexible hose 91 for connecting the cavity shell 93 and the main circuit steam pipe, installed on the top of the cavity via a flange, for realizing six-degree-of-freedom movement of the cavity and steam flow into the steam injection channel 95, as shown. Figure 5 As shown; steam injection channel 95 is used to connect the outer shell 93 of the cavity and the subcooled water pipe 96, and to directionally inject steam into the test section pipe 11, such as... Figure 7 As shown; the subcooled water pipe 96 is used to connect the test section pipe 11 and the cavity, as follows. Figure 6 As shown; torsion spring 98 is used to connect baffle 97 and steam injection channel 95, providing restoring torque for baffle 97 to close; weight 99 is used to provide force for baffle to open, and works with torsion spring 98 to control the opening and closing of baffle 97; baffle 97 is used to prevent supercooled water from backflowing into steam injection channel 95, avoid steam condensation before entering the test section, and ensure the safety of the experimental device and the normal operation of the experimental process, such as... Figure 8 As shown.

[0045] The outer shell 93 is a cube structure made of five stainless steel square plates and one acrylic square plate bolted together to maintain a constant temperature of the internal liquid and to allow for visualization of the internal flow.

[0046] The first hose 91 uses a PTFE-lined metal hose to inject high-temperature steam into the steam injection channel 95, achieving a flexible connection between the cavity and the steam pipe, and enabling six-degree-of-freedom movement of the cavity. The first hose 91 is connected to the cavity through a flange.

[0047] The steam injection channel 95 is made of polycarbonate and is used to visualize the steam flow. The steam injection channel 95 has a 135° inclination angle to ensure that the injected steam velocity has components perpendicular to the baffle 97 and parallel to the subcooled water pipe 96. The steam injection channel 95 is bolted to the top plate of the cavity for easy replacement.

[0048] Both baffle 97 and weight 99 are made of 304 stainless steel, and are connected by welding. The torsion spring 98 has a fixed angle α when the baffle is closed. The stiffness of the torsion spring 98 and the mass of the weight 99 need to be selected based on the length and angle of inclination of the baffle 97, ensuring that the restoring torque of the torsion spring 98 on the baffle 97 before the experiment begins is equal to the external torque applied by the weight 99, thus maintaining the baffle 97 in a closed state through structural restraint.

[0049] The experimental focus of this invention is to realize the six-degree-of-freedom swing motion of the test section pipe 11 under the premise of ensuring safety, and to study the occurrence phenomenon and load of condensate hammer under specific test conditions.

[0050] An air compressor 15 and a fifth ball valve 605 are installed on the bypass branch. Before the experiment begins, the air compressor 15 and the fifth ball valve 605 are turned on, and the fourth ball valve 604 is closed to introduce air into the pipeline system to remove residual condensate in the pipeline. After the air has been purged for a period of time, the fourth ball valve 604 is turned on and the fifth ball valve 605 is closed. The second electric regulating valve 702 is used to fine-tune the flow rate in the main circuit to prevent the steam generator 1 from injecting too much steam into the main circuit.

[0051] At the start of the experiment, steam generator 1 produces steam at a stable pressure and temperature. The first vortex flow meter 201 measures the steam flow rate at the generator outlet. Based on the output flow signal from the first vortex flow meter 201, the opening of the second electric regulating valve 702 is adjusted to prevent excessive steam from entering the main circuit. The first thermocouple 301 and the first static pressure sensor 401 on the main circuit measure the steam pressure and temperature at the generator outlet. The gas-liquid separator 5 is equipped with a sight glass to ensure the steam in the main circuit is dry and to allow real-time observation of the separated water level. The first ball valve 601 is a normally open valve used to control the opening and closing of the main circuit channel. The first electric regulating valve 701 adjusts its opening based on the signals from the mass flow meter 8 and the second vortex flow meter 202 output to the control console, aiming to ensure that the steam injected into the test section pipe 11 reaches the experimental requirements. The specified flow rate under the experimental conditions; to ensure that the steam injected into the test section pipeline 11 has the temperature and pressure set under the experimental conditions, an end branch is set up, on which a third ball valve 603, a fourth thermocouple 304 and a fourth static pressure sensor 404 are installed. The second ball valve 602, the third thermocouple 303 and the third static pressure sensor 403 are symmetrically distributed on the main circuit. When the measured values ​​of the fourth thermocouple 304 and the fourth static pressure sensor 404 on the end branch reach the temperature and pressure required for the experiment, and the mass flow meter 8 displays that the steam mass flux specified under the experimental conditions has been reached, that is, the third ball valve 603 is closed and the second ball valve 602 is opened. According to the symmetry of the set circuit, the readings of the third thermocouple 303 and the third static pressure sensor 403 also meet the requirements of the experimental conditions. At this time, the steam at the outlet of the steam pipeline reaches the temperature, pressure and mass flux required for the experimental conditions.

[0052] The main circuit steam pipe is connected to the anti-backflow device 9 via the first flexible hose 91. The anti-backflow device 9 is fixed on the six-degree-of-freedom swaying table 10. The anti-backflow device 9 is connected to the test section pipe 11 via a flange. The test section pipe 11 is connected to the water tank 13 via the second flexible hose 12. This connection method allows the test section pipe 11 to follow the anti-backflow device 9 to perform a six-degree-of-freedom swaying motion. The water tank 13 is connected to the chiller 14 via heat exchange tubes to control the temperature and maintain a constant water tank temperature.

[0053] How to use the anti-backflow device 9: Figure 4As shown in (a), in the horizontal position, the baffle 97 is subjected to an external torque M1 = GLcosθ from the weight 99 (where L is the length of the baffle 97, θ is the angle between the baffle 97 and the horizontal plane, and G is the weight of the weight 99), and a restoring torque M2 = Kα from the torsion spring 98 (where α is the angle between the torsion spring 98 and the baffle in the closed state, and K is the torsional stiffness of the torsion spring). The weight G of the selected weight 99 makes M1 equal to M2, and the baffle 97 covers the outlet of the steam injection channel 95. Before the experiment begins, the six-degree-of-freedom swaying table 10 is stationary, the baffle 97 covers the steam injection channel 95, the torsion angle of the torsion spring 98 is α, and the angle between the baffle 97 and the horizontal plane is θ. After the experiment begins, according to the above experimental steps, steam is injected from the steam pipe of the main circuit into the anti-backflow device 9, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, at this time, under the pressure of the injected steam, the baffle 97 opens, and the steam is injected directionally into the test section pipeline 11; when the control console issues a command for the six-degree-of-freedom swaying table 10 to move, the anti-backflow device 9 follows the six-degree-of-freedom swaying table 10 to perform six-degree-of-freedom motion, among which the downward and upward tilting motions have a significant impact on the steam injection process; when the anti-backflow device 9 tilts downward, as... Figure 4 As shown in (b), the angle θ between the baffle 97 and the horizontal plane decreases, and cosθ increases, causing the opening torque M1 of the baffle 97 to increase. Under the combined action of the steam injection pressure, the baffle 97 opens, and steam is injected directionally into the test section pipeline 11; when the anti-backflow device 9 tilts upward, as shown in (b), the angle θ between the baffle 97 and the horizontal plane decreases, and cosθ increases, the opening torque M1 of the baffle 97 increases. Figure 4 As shown in (c), backflow occurs in the test section pipe 11 and the subcooled water pipe 96. The angle θ between the baffle 97 and the horizontal plane increases, and cosθ decreases, which reduces the opening torque M1 of the baffle 97. However, the angle α will not decrease due to structural constraints, and the restoring torque M2 of the torsion spring 98 remains unchanged, preventing the baffle 97 from opening and avoiding cold water from flowing into the steam injection channel 95, thereby protecting the safety of the system's pipeline circuit.

[0054] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of the present invention without creative effort.
