Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention patent relates to the field of power electronics manufacturing technology, specifically to a non-air-accumulating water outlet pipe, pipeline system, and non-air-accumulating method. Background Technology

[0002] The flexible DC converter valve is a core piece of equipment in DC transmission projects. To ensure effective heat dissipation of the IGBT power devices in the converter valve, water cooling is configured for it. The cooling pipeline is an important part of the cooling system. The cooling medium at a certain flow rate is pressurized by the water pump and enters the heat sink of the IGBT power device to be cooled through the power equipment cooling pipeline, carrying away the heat generated by the power device. Then the cooling medium enters the outdoor heat exchange equipment, where the heat is discharged into the air. The cooled low-temperature medium is then pressurized by the water pump and enters the power device to be cooled, forming a closed loop to ensure that the operating temperature of the power device of the flexible DC converter valve is within the safe operating range.

[0003] The existing cooling water piping for flexible DC converter valves mainly includes the main inlet pipe, main return pipe, branch pipes, electrodes, flanged straight tees, butterfly valves, and vent valves. Currently, flexible DC transmission projects suffer from severe air accumulation in the water-cooled piping, resulting in low system venting efficiency. Recently, several converter stations have experienced converter valve closure due to leaks in the vent valves. Air accumulation in the piping poses a serious hazard, specifically including: ① If gas is trapped in the pipeline for a long time without being discharged, it reduces the cross-section of the water flow. In severe cases, it may even cut off most of the water flow, causing difficulties in water supply or even pipe bursting.

[0004] ② Air accumulation in the pipeline can easily lead to water hammer during pump switching, causing severe vibration in the pipeline, which can seriously damage the pipeline.

[0005] ③ The gas in the pipeline increases the local water flow resistance, causing uneven water flow distribution among modules, affecting heat dissipation, and in severe cases, causing the IGBT junction temperature to be too high.

[0006] ④ If gas accumulates inside the module, it is detrimental to insulation and can easily cause water pipes to break down, leading to water leakage.

[0007] ⑤ Gas accumulation in the pipeline accelerates electrode corrosion and scaling, affecting electrode lifespan and increasing maintenance frequency and difficulty.

[0008] Therefore, air accumulation in the converter valve water cooling system and potential leakage in the vent valve are serious hidden dangers affecting the reliable operation of DC projects. Currently, on-site venting mainly relies on commissioning personnel manually venting based on experience, which is extremely inefficient and cannot completely solve the problem. Therefore, the issue of air accumulation in pipelines urgently needs to be studied and resolved. Summary of the Invention

[0020] Based on the same inventive concept, this invention also provides a method for preventing air accumulation in a flexible DC converter valve pipeline, characterized in that the method is implemented using a non-air-accumulation flexible DC converter valve pipeline system as described above, comprising: Cooling medium containing air bubbles flows upward through the main inlet pipe (3) arranged vertically to the ground into multiple branch pipes for convective heat exchange. After convective heat exchange, the cooling medium is divided into two parts by the multiple branch pipes. One part of the cooling medium flows upward into the inlet pipe (1.1) in the same direction as the air bubbles, and after passing through the bend pipe (1.3), it flows into the water outlet pipe (1.2). In the water outlet pipe (1.2), the cooling medium flows downward, carrying the air bubbles into the lower outlet pipe (2), where it merges with the other part of the cooling medium flowing into the lower outlet pipe (2) and carries the air bubbles away.

[0021] Compared with the closest existing technology, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention proposes a non-air-accumulating water outlet pipe, a piping system, and a non-air-accumulating method, comprising: an upper water outlet pipe (1) and a lower water outlet pipe (2); both the upper water outlet pipe (1) and the lower water outlet pipe (2) are arranged perpendicular to the ground; the upper water outlet pipe (1) includes: an inlet pipe (1.1), a water outlet pipe (1.2), and a bend (1.3), the bend (1.3) being an n-shaped structure; the inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe (1.2) are connected by the bend (1.3); the water outlet pipe (1.2) is connected to the lower water outlet pipe (2) and then connected to the outlet of a converter valve; the inlet pipe... Both (1.1) and the lower water outlet pipe (2) are equipped with water inlets, and each water inlet is connected to a branch pipe of the converter valve. The cooling medium with air bubbles flows into the water inlet pipe (1.1) after passing through a branch pipe connected to the water inlet pipe (1.1). The water and air in the water inlet pipe (1.1) are in the same direction, and the cooling medium flows from bottom to top, pushing the gas through the bend pipe (1.3) and into the water outlet pipe (1.2) and the lower water outlet pipe (2). The water and air in the lower water outlet pipe (2) are in opposite directions, and the cooling medium flows from top to bottom. After merging with part of the cooling medium flowing into the lower water outlet pipe (2), the gas is driven to flow out through the converter valve. This invention improves the structure of the main return water pipe of the flexible DC converter valve by dividing it into upper and lower parts. The water flow direction in the upper part of the pipe is from bottom to top, while the water flow direction in the lower part of the pipe is from top to bottom. This ensures that the air and water flow in the upper part of the main return water pipe are in the same direction, pushing the gas into the lower part of the return water pipe. The cooling medium in the lower part of the return water pipe undergoes multiple confluences, resulting in a large flow rate and high velocity, which effectively carries away the air bubbles. This effectively solves the problem of severe air accumulation in the water-cooled pipes of current flexible DC transmission projects. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Example 2: Based on the same inventive concept, this invention also provides a non-gas-accumulation flexible DC converter valve piping system. A schematic diagram of the structure of the non-gas-accumulation flexible DC converter valve piping system provided by this invention is shown below. Figure 2 As shown in the diagram, the flow direction of the cooling medium in the pipeline system of the non-gas-accumulation flexible direct converter valve is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes: The main inlet pipe 3 and the main outlet pipe, as well as multiple branch pipes, are arranged perpendicularly to the ground. The main water outlet pipe adopts a non-air-accumulating water outlet pipe as described above; The inlet of the main water inlet pipe 3 is connected to the cooling medium source; The main water inlet pipe 3 has multiple water outlets on its pipe wall; Each branch pipe is respectively installed and fixed between each outlet of the main water inlet pipe 3 and each inlet of the main water outlet pipe.

[0034] Each of the branch pipes is equipped with several radiators.

[0035] Specifically, the main inlet water pipe flows from bottom to top. The main return water pipe is divided into upper and lower sections.

The internal water flow is from top to bottom. The main inlet water pipe is arranged vertically to the ground, with its bottom end connected to a butterfly valve via a flange. The remaining pipe sections are connected to the inter-floor branch pipes via flanged tees. The main return water pipe is also arranged vertically to the ground, with its bottom end connected to a butterfly valve via a flange. The remaining pipe sections are connected to the inter-floor branch pipes via flanged tees. The branch pipes typically span 4-5 floors and are arranged in a series-parallel configuration. They mainly include inter-floor module water pipes and radiator water pipes. The sub-module radiator pipes are connected in series, while other pipes are arranged in parallel.

[0036] Cooling water flows in from the bottom of the main inlet pipe on the left, flows upward, and then flows layer by layer into five horizontal branch pipes. The cooling water in the branch pipes flows sequentially through several radiators connected in series. The cooling water from the top three branch pipes converges into the upper part of the main return pipe on the right, flows upward to the top, and then turns downward along a bend. The cooling water from the bottom two branch pipes converges into the lower part of the main return pipe on the right, flowing downward to the bottom of the main return pipe. The water in the upper part of the main return pipe turns downward at the top along a bend, then connects with the lower part of the main return pipe, flowing towards the bottom of the main return pipe.

[0037] Example 3: Based on the same inventive concept, this invention also provides a method for preventing air accumulation in the pipeline of a flexible DC converter valve, comprising: Cooling medium containing air bubbles flows upward through the main inlet pipe 3, which is arranged vertically to the ground, into multiple branch pipes for convective heat exchange.

One part of the cooling medium flows upward into the inlet pipe 1.1 in the same direction as the air bubbles, and after passing through the bend 1.3, it flows into the outlet pipe 1.2. In the outlet pipe 1.2, the cooling medium flows downward, carrying the air bubbles into the lower outlet pipe 2. After merging with the other part of the cooling medium flowing into the lower outlet pipe 2, the air bubbles are carried away.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit its scope of protection.
