Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of viscosity detection, in particular to a high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device and a high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection method. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a heat storage material in the process of power plant steam extraction and heat storage, the viscosity of molten salt at different temperatures has an important influence on the energy consumption and heat exchange efficiency of the system, so it is necessary to accurately determine the viscosity of molten salt at different temperatures.

[0003] In related technologies, the viscosity of molten salt is generally measured by a capillary tube viscometer, a rotary viscometer or a vibration viscometer. Among them, the capillary tube method needs to measure the viscosity according to the time of fluid flowing out of the container; the rotary viscometer places the rotor in the fluid and measures the torque when the rotor rotates to determine the viscosity; the vibration viscometer also needs to place the sensor in the fluid and measure the resistance when the sensor vibrates to calculate the viscosity.

[0004] However, the molten salt flowing in the capillary tube has large heat loss and is easy to cool and solidify, which makes the measurement result distorted. The rotary and vibration viscometers have the problem of sensor contamination due to the high working temperature of molten salt and the corrosion of molten salt to metal materials. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device and a high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection method to solve the problems of sensor contamination and difficult fluid temperature control when the detection device in related technologies measures the viscosity of high-temperature molten salt.

[0009] a heating mechanism in contact with the outer wall surface of the container, the heating mechanism is used for heating the container to a preset temperature;

[0010] a rotating mechanism, the container is connected with the rotating mechanism, and the rotating mechanism can drive the container to rotate relative to the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate around the axis direction.

[0011] The high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device can fully play the role of the electrical conductivity of the high-temperature molten salt, and the detection method is simple and reliable, and has high detection efficiency. In addition, the high-temperature molten salt is placed in the container, so that the temperature of the molten salt is relatively uniform, and the step of contacting the related sensor with the high-temperature molten salt for detection is reduced, so that the corrosion and pollution of the sensor by the high-temperature molten salt can be avoided. Further, the heating mechanism is arranged to heat the container, so that the temperature of the high-temperature molten salt can be maintained at a stable level during the detection process, thereby helping to reduce heat loss and improve the detection accuracy of the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device.

[0012] In one of the embodiments, the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device further comprises a heat preservation structure, which is arranged around the outer side wall of the container.

[0013] In one of the embodiments, the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device further comprises an upper cover, and the container has a liquid injection port, and the upper cover is used to cover and close the liquid injection port.

[0014] In one of the embodiments, the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device further comprises a temperature measuring structure, which abuts against the outer side wall of the container, and the temperature measuring structure is used to detect the temperature of the container.

[0015] In one of the embodiments, the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device further comprises a first lifting arm and a second lifting arm, the first lifting arm is connected with the first electrode plate, the second lifting arm is connected with the second electrode plate, and the first lifting arm and the second lifting arm respectively drive the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate to move along the axis direction of the container.

[0016] In one of the embodiments, the rotating mechanism comprises a rotating motor and a clamp, the clamp is fixedly connected with the rotating motor, and the container is clamped in the clamp, and the rotating motor is used to drive the clamp to rotate, so that the clamp drives the container to rotate around the axis direction.

[0017] In one of the embodiments, the container is cylindrical and is made of high-temperature resistant and heat-conductive material.

[0018] In one of the embodiments, the heating mechanism is a heating wire, which is wound around the axis of the container and on the outer side wall of the container.

[0019] On the other hand, the application provides a high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection method using the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device as described above for detection, which comprises the following steps:

[0020] S1, adding a preset volume of molten salt into the container;

[0021] S2, adjusting the positions of the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate along the axial direction of the container, so that the lower edges of the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate are flush with the liquid level of the molten salt;

[0025] S6, after the current value of the circuit connected by the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate is stable, recording the time required from the initial current value to the stable current value.

[0026] The above-mentioned high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection method needs to detect the viscosity of the unknown high-temperature molten salt under the conditions of a preset volume, a preset temperature and a preset angular velocity. Thus, after obtaining the time required from the initial current value to the stable current value, the rotational angular acceleration of the high-temperature molten salt from the static state to the stable rotation at the preset angular velocity can be further calculated. Correspondingly, according to the relationship that the viscosity of the fluid is inversely related to the rotational angular acceleration thereof in the container, the viscosity of the high-temperature molten salt can be obtained. The above-mentioned high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection method can realize the viscosity detection of the high-temperature molten salt by observing the current value of the circuit connected by the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate and calculating the rotational angular acceleration of the high-temperature molten salt. Thus, the conductivity of the high-temperature molten salt can be fully utilized, and the detection method is simple and reliable, and has high detection efficiency. Moreover, in the application of the above-mentioned high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection method, the high-temperature molten salt is placed in the container, so that the temperature of the molten salt is relatively uniform, and the step of contacting the related sensor with the high-temperature molten salt for detection is reduced. Thus, the corrosion and pollution of the sensor by the high-temperature molten salt can be avoided. Further, the container is heated by the heating mechanism. Thus, the temperature of the high-temperature molten salt during the detection process can be maintained at a stable level, which helps to reduce heat loss and improve detection accuracy.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1A structure front view of a high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a container 100, a first electrode plate 200, a second electrode plate 300, a heating mechanism 400, and a rotating mechanism 500. The container 100 is used to add molten salt 10. The first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 can be connected to an alternating current through an alternating current wire 200a. The first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 are symmetrically distributed around the axis of the container 100, and the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 can be arranged at different heights along the axis direction of the container 100. The heating mechanism 400 is in contact with the outer side wall of the container 100. The heating mechanism 400 is used to heat the container 100 to a preset temperature. The container 100 is connected to the rotating mechanism 500, and the rotating mechanism 500 can drive the container 100 to rotate relative to the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 around the axis direction. In combination Figure 2 As shown, the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 are arranged relative to the outer side wall of the container 100, and the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 are in a non-contact state with the outer side wall of the container 100.

[0042] Specifically, since the viscosity of the fluid is inversely related to the angular acceleration of its rotation in the container 100, that is, the greater the viscosity of the fluid, the longer the time it takes to rotate from zero to a preset angular velocity, which reflects that the smaller the angular acceleration of rotation, so the inverse relationship can be used to test the angular acceleration of different fluids with unknown viscosity, and then the corresponding viscosity is obtained. The above-mentioned "corresponding relationship between the viscosity of the fluid and the angular acceleration of its rotation in the container 100" can be obtained by calibrating the known viscosity of the fluid, such as silicon oil, grease, etc., which will not be described here.

[0043] Further, the viscosity of the fluid is also affected by the change of the fluid density. Therefore, when the above-mentioned calibration test of the fluid with known viscosity is performed, since the density of the fluid used in the calibration test is inconsistent with the density of the high-temperature molten salt 10 to be tested in the present application, the density correction needs to be performed in the calculation process to eliminate the calculation error caused by the density factor when the viscosity of the high-temperature molten salt 10 is finally calculated. Specifically, the density of the high-temperature molten salt 10 to be tested can be measured by using a density tester. The density measurement method is a conventional technical means in the art, which will not be described here.

[0044] In the present embodiment, the above-mentioned "inverse relationship between the viscosity of the fluid and the angular acceleration of its rotation in the container 100" can also be used to calculate the viscosity of the high-temperature molten salt 10 when the high-temperature molten salt 10 rotates in the container 100. Further, in the present embodiment, since the high-temperature molten salt 10 has conductivity, the impedance of the inner side of the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 changes when the high-temperature molten salt 10 rotates in the container 100.

[0045] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 During the rotation, the liquid level of the high-temperature molten salt 10 gradually rises and is approximately parabolic. When the liquid level of the high-temperature molten salt 10 rises, the impedance of the relative inner side of the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 becomes smaller, thereby causing the current to become larger. When the current reaches a steady state, that is, the angular velocity of the high-temperature molten salt 10 fluid is consistent with the angular velocity of the container 100, only the change in the current needs to be observed, and the time for the high-temperature molten salt 10 to accelerate from the initial state (static state) to the preset angular velocity can be obtained, and then the rotational angular acceleration is calculated, and after the density correction, the viscosity corresponding to the high-temperature molten salt 10 under the temperature condition can be calculated.

[0046] The high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device can detect the viscosity of the high-temperature molten salt 10 by observing the current passing through the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 and calculating the rotational angular acceleration of the high-temperature molten salt 10, so that the conductivity of the high-temperature molten salt 10 can be fully utilized, and the detection method is simple and reliable, and has high detection efficiency. In addition, the high-temperature molten salt 10 is placed in the container 100, so that the temperature of the molten salt 10 is relatively uniform, and the step of contacting the high-temperature molten salt 10 for detection by the related sensor is reduced, so that the corrosion and pollution of the sensor by the high-temperature molten salt 10 can be avoided. Further, the container 100 is heated by the heating mechanism 400, so that the temperature of the high-temperature molten salt 10 during the detection process can be maintained at a stable level, thereby helping to reduce heat loss and improve the detection accuracy of the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device. It should be noted that the above-mentioned scheme of the present application can also be applied to any fluid with conductivity, and is not limited to the high-temperature molten salt 10.

[0047] In combination with Figure 1 In some embodiments, the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device further comprises a heat preservation structure 600, which is arranged around the outer wall surface of the container 100, so that the heat preservation performance of the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device can be improved, thereby reducing heat loss during detection and helping to improve detection accuracy. Specifically, the heat preservation structure 600 is made of a low-thermal-conductivity material, such as thermal insulation mortar material, rubber plastic thermal insulation material, or aerogel thermal insulation material.

[0048] In combination with Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device further comprises an upper cover 700, the container 100 has a liquid injection port, and the upper cover 700 is used to cover and seal the liquid injection port, so that the container 100 forms a closed space, which can help to avoid the high-temperature molten salt 10 from being thrown out of the container 100 during rotation, causing pollution, and can improve the heat preservation of the container 100, reduce heat loss, and improve the detection accuracy of the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device.

[0049] In combination Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device further comprises a temperature measurement structure 800, which is in contact with the outer wall of the container 100. The temperature measurement structure 800 is used to detect the temperature of the container 100, so that the heating power of the heating mechanism 400 can be adjusted in real time according to the temperature change of the container 100, so that the temperature of the high-temperature molten salt 10 can be maintained at a stable level during detection, which helps to improve the detection accuracy of the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device.

[0050] Further, in combination Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the temperature measurement structure 800 can be provided as at least two, and the at least two temperature measurement structures 800 are respectively connected at different positions of the container 100, and the average temperature of the plurality of temperature measurement structures 800 is used as the temperature monitoring result, so that the temperature measurement effect of the temperature measurement structure 800 can be improved, and the detection accuracy of the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device can be improved. Further, in some embodiments, the temperature measurement structure 800 can be provided as three, two of which are respectively symmetrically in contact with the side surface of the container 100, and one of which is in contact with the bottom surface of the container 100, so that the temperature change of the container 100 can be more comprehensively and accurately monitored.

[0051] In combination Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device further comprises a first lifting arm 900 and a second lifting arm 1000. The first lifting arm 900 is connected with the first electrode plate 200. The second lifting arm 1000 is connected with the second electrode plate 300. The first lifting arm 900 and the second lifting arm 1000 respectively drive the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 to move along the axis direction of the container 100, so that the relative height of the first electrode plate 200, the second electrode plate 300 and the liquid surface of the high-temperature molten salt 10 in the initial state can be adjusted.

[0052] Specifically, the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device of the present application is used to detect the current change time of the high-temperature molten salt 10 from the initial state to the stable rotation state. Therefore, the first lifting arm 900 and the second lifting arm 1000 can be used to adjust the positions of the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 300 respectively, so that the lower edges of the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 300 are flush with the liquid surface of the high-temperature molten salt 10. At this time, the impedance between the first electrode 200 and the second electrode 300 is the largest, that is, the current is at its minimum, which can help increase the range of current change and improve the accuracy of detection. Combined with Figure 5 As shown, the lower edges of the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 are flush with the liquid surface of the high-temperature molten salt 10. This helps to increase the range of change of the current from the minimum value to the stable value, thereby improving the accuracy of the time t1 required for the current to change from the minimum value to the stable value, and then improving the accuracy of the estimated rotational angular acceleration of the high-temperature molten salt 10.

[0053] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the positions of the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 may also be adjusted by means of slide rails or screw drives, which will not be described in detail here.

[0054] Combine Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the rotation mechanism 500 includes a rotation motor 510 and a clamp 520. The clamp 520 is fixedly connected to the rotation motor 510, and the container 100 is clamped to the clamp 520, which can improve the structural stability of the container 100. The rotation motor 510 is used to drive the clamp 520 to rotate, so that the clamp 520 drives the container 100 to rotate about the axis.

[0055] In some embodiments, container 100 is cylindrical and made of a high-temperature resistant, thermally conductive material, thereby simplifying temperature control of container 100. Preferably, container 100 is made of a ceramic material, which provides container 100 with excellent mechanical strength and impact resistance. Furthermore, since high-temperature molten salt 10 is somewhat corrosive, the use of ceramic materials can improve the corrosion resistance of container 100. Of course, in other embodiments, container 100 can also be made of other materials with high thermal conductivity, high corrosion resistance, and high strength, which will not be further described here.

[0056] In some embodiments, the heating mechanism 400 is a heating wire that is wound around the axis of the container 100 and around the outer wall of the container 100. Since the heating wire has the characteristics of rapid heating and being windable, it can adapt to the shape of the side wall of the container 100, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the container 100. It is understood that in some embodiments, the heating mechanism 400 can be a heating plate, a heating block, or a heating ring.

[0057] The application also provides a high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection method using the high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection device.

[0058] S1, adding a preset volume of molten salt 10 into the container 100;

[0059] S2, adjusting the positions of the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 along the axis direction of the container 100, so that the lower edges of the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 are flush with the liquid level of the molten salt 10;

[0060] S3, starting the heating mechanism 400 to heat the container 100 to a preset temperature;

[0061] S4, connecting the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300, and recording the initial current value;

[0062] S5, starting the rotating mechanism 500 to rotate the rotating mechanism 500 at a preset angular velocity;

[0063] S6, after the current value of the circuit connected by the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 is stable, recording the time required from the initial current value to the stable current value.

[0064] The high-temperature molten salt viscosity detection method needs to detect the viscosity of the high-temperature molten salt 10 under the conditions of a preset volume, a preset temperature, and a preset angular velocity. After obtaining the time required from the initial current value to the stable current value, the time required for the high-temperature molten salt 10 to rotate from the static state to the preset angular velocity is obtained. Thus, the angular acceleration of the high-temperature molten salt 10 rotating from the static state to the preset angular velocity can be further calculated. Correspondingly, according to the relationship that the viscosity of the fluid is inversely related to the angular acceleration of the fluid in the container 100, the viscosity of the high-temperature molten salt 10 can be obtained after density correction.

[0065] Specifically, in combination with Figure 5 As shown in the figure, in one embodiment, by outputting the relationship diagram of the current of the circuit conducted by the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 changing with time on the related device, the time t1 required for the circuit to change from the initial current value to the stable current value can be obtained. Then, the angular acceleration in the t1 period can be calculated under the conditions of the preset angular velocity and t1. Finally, according to the relationship that the viscosity of the fluid is inversely related to the angular acceleration of the fluid in the container 100, such as the relationship table or the relationship function, the viscosity of the high-temperature molten salt 10 can be obtained after density correction.

[0066] In addition, the viscosity detection method of the high-temperature molten salt can realize viscosity detection of the high-temperature molten salt 10 by observing the current size of the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 and calculating the angular acceleration of the high-temperature molten salt 10, so that the conductivity of the high-temperature molten salt 10 can be fully utilized, the detection method is simple and reliable, and the detection efficiency is high. Moreover, when the viscosity detection method of the high-temperature molten salt is applied, the high-temperature molten salt 10 is placed in the container 100, so that the temperature of the molten salt 10 is relatively uniform, and the step of contacting the related sensor with the high-temperature molten salt 10 for detection is reduced, so that the corrosion and pollution of the sensor by the high-temperature molten salt 10 can be avoided. Further, the container 100 is heated by the heating mechanism 400, so that the temperature of the high-temperature molten salt 10 during the detection process can be maintained at a stable level, thereby reducing heat loss and improving detection accuracy.

[0067] It should be noted that the correspondence between the viscosity of the fluid and the angular acceleration of the fluid in the container 100 can be obtained by calibration test on fluids with known viscosity, such as silicone oil, grease, etc.

[0068] Specifically, in some embodiments, after step S6, the method further comprises the steps of: adding a standard fluid with a preset volume into the container 100, the standard fluid having a known viscosity and a known density, and repeating steps S2-S6. Adaptively, when the standard fluid is an insulating fluid such as silicone oil or grease, an appropriate amount of electrolyte needs to be added to the insulating fluid to make the standard fluid conductive, so as to adapt to the above steps of the present application. In addition, adaptively, the lower edges of the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 in step S2 are flush with the liquid level of the molten salt 10, which means that the lower edges of the first electrode plate 200 and the second electrode plate 300 are flush with the liquid level of the standard fluid. By implementing the above steps, the corresponding angular acceleration of the standard fluid corresponding to the known viscosity can be obtained under the same preset volume, preset temperature and preset angular velocity, and the viscosity of the high-temperature molten salt 10 at the corresponding angular acceleration can be inversely deduced from the correspondence between the angular acceleration of the standard fluid and the viscosity. It should be noted that when the viscosity of the high-temperature molten salt 10 at the corresponding angular acceleration is inversely deduced, the calculation process of the high-temperature molten salt 10 needs to be corrected for density, because there is a density difference between the high-temperature molten salt 10 and the standard fluid, so as to eliminate the calculation error caused by the density factor.

[0069] In this embodiment, this step is a standard fluid viscosity calibration process, which is used to fit a function curve of different rotation time to preset angular velocity corresponding to different viscosities under the same preset volume, preset temperature and preset angular velocity, as a viscosity calculation standard of the high-temperature molten salt 10. Understandably, if the viscosity of the known standard fluid under the known volume, the known temperature and the known angular velocity is known, this step can be omitted, and the viscosity of the high-temperature molten salt 10 can be directly determined according to the known information through density correction.

[0070] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any manner. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described, but it should be understood that any combination of the technical features is within the scope of the present disclosure as long as there is no contradiction.

[0071] The above embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent scope of the application. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, some modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these are within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
