Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the field of new energy and energy-saving technology, and particularly relates to a double-loop cooling device for a water-cooled coil of a tokamak test device and a use method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Magnetic confinement controlled nuclear fusion and high-temperature plasma technology is a process of using two lighter atomic nuclei to aggregate into a heavier atomic nucleus and releasing energy. The realized nuclear fusion reaction is the fusion of hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, which has been going on for 5 billion years on the sun. Magnetic confinement controlled nuclear fusion, also known as artificial sun, is based on the principle of nuclear fusion reaction, which mainly uses hydrogen isotopes (deuterium and tritium). Nuclear fusion does not produce long-term and high-level nuclear radiation, nuclear waste, and greenhouse gases, and basically does not pollute the environment. Human understanding of thermonuclear fusion began with the explosion of hydrogen bombs. Magnetic confinement controlled nuclear fusion and high-temperature plasma devices can effectively control the process of "hydrogen bomb explosion", allowing energy to be continuously and stably output, providing clean energy for people, and is one of the ways to replace petrochemical energy and protect the environment in the future.

[0003] So far, there are four countries in the world that have their own tokamak devices, Tore-Supra in France, T-15 in Russia, JT-60U in Japan, and EAST (Extrusion Tokamak Reactor) in China. In addition, there is the largest international cooperation ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor).

[0004] The magnetic control coil group of the tokamak device is used to generate a strong magnetic field to meet the needs of the test environment. The magnetic control coil group adopts a water cooling method to take away the heat generated during operation. The coil group discharges 51.84 MJ of electric energy within 5 seconds, with an average heat release heat rate of 10.368 MW. The heat needs to be taken away by the water cooling method and released to the atmospheric environment.

[0005] According to the prior art, if a single-loop cooling water system is used, there are (1) the theoretical minimum water flow of the cold source (14.87 m 3 / h) is greater than the water volume (13.21 m 3h); (2) when the water flow based on the cold source is greater than the water flow of the Tokamak test device water-cooled coil, a bypass pipe and a bypass valve are needed to bypass the excess water flow when a single loop cooling is used, the pipe where the bypass pipe and the bypass valve are located is in parallel with the Tokamak test device, therefore the inlet pressure of the Tokamak test device cooling water is 1.0 MPa, which is also the inlet pressure of the bypass pipe, the outlet pressure of the cooling water is 0.2 MPa, which is also the outlet pressure of the bypass pipe, the pressure difference of the test device is 0.8 MPa (about 80 mH2O), and the bypass pipe and the bypass valve need to eliminate the pressure energy of the water flow through a pressure stabilizing valve group to realize effective bypassing; (3) in order to ensure the cooling effect, when the water flow is increased, the pressure energy of 0.8 MPa of the water flow must be consumed through the bypass pipe, and the greater the flow through the bypass valve, the greater the energy consumed, and the energy consumed needs to be provided by the water pump, resulting in increased actual operation energy consumption and no improvement in cooling effect.
