Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of molten salt cooling, and in particular to a molten salt rapid cooling system and method. Background Art
[0002] Molten salt refers to the molten liquid of salt. The molten salt usually refers to the molten body of inorganic salt. Most of the molten salts in solid state are ionic crystals, which will form ionic melts after melting at high temperature. The most common molten salts are composed of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals and halides, silicates, carbonates, nitrates and phosphates. Molten salt has many characteristics, such as high working temperature, high-temperature heat transfer of up to about 565°C, and will not react with the pipes and other materials in contact at high temperature and normal pressure, and will not harm the environment. It has the advantages of high specific heat, high heat transfer capacity, low viscosity, easy handling, low price and safety. When the molten salt storage tank is forced to be overhauled due to design defects or material compatibility problems, thousands of tons of high-temperature liquid molten salt urgently need to be cooled and properly disposed of and stored. Therefore, it is of great significance to solve the cooling and storage problems of high-temperature molten salt in the event of an accident. At present, the device used for traditional salt cooling adopts a plate air cooler, which is cooled by the intersection of the air natural circulation system and the molten salt natural circulation system. The adaptability problem under environmental conditions such as extreme temperature and high humidity will affect the cooling effect. The device has a complex structure and high cost. For the natural air circulation system, it will be disturbed by external factors such as air quality and wind speed, which will affect the stability of cooling.
[0003] In summary, the waste heat of molten salt is not fully utilized at present, which wastes resources, has a complex and heavy device structure, low heat transfer efficiency, poor system stability and high economic cost. Summary of the invention

[0009] The molten salt coil is arranged around the outer periphery of the flow guide body, one end of which passes through the outer shell as a molten salt inlet, and the other end passes through the outer shell as a molten salt outlet; an upward wind channel is formed between the molten salt coil and the flow guide body, and a downward wind channel is formed between the molten salt coil and the outer shell; the wind temperature meter is arranged in the outer shell to measure the air temperature.
[0010] Furthermore, the fins are rotatably arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the flow guide body, specifically: the fixed end of the rotating column is fixedly connected to the flow guide body, the rotating end is fixedly connected to the center of the side wall of the fin, and the rotation angle of the rotating end can be manually adjusted and fixed.
[0011] Furthermore, the rotation angle of the fin is adjusted within a range of 0-90°.
[0012] Furthermore, the shape of the fin is selected from any one of a rectangle, a triangle, and a fan.
[0013] Furthermore, there are multiple groups of fins, which are respectively arranged on the upper and lower outer peripheral surfaces of the three-section spindle of the guide body, and each group has multiple fins, which are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction.
[0014] Furthermore, the guide body is in a three-section spindle shape, the spindle section at the upper end has a larger radius, and the spindle section at the lower end has a smaller radius.

[0020] Furthermore, the flow rate of the molten salt flowing in the molten salt coil is in the range of 0.5-1.5 kg / s, and the wind speed of the cold air output by the fan is in the range of 4-16 m / s.

[0024] (3) The system of the present invention can adjust the fan power and the angle of the rotatable blades according to the changes in the external ambient temperature, so that the high-temperature molten salt can be stably cooled to the required temperature range.

[0025] (4) When the molten salt storage tank equipment is under maintenance or sudden failure, the system of the present invention can conveniently discharge all the molten salt in the hot salt tank and quickly cool it down.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The present invention will be described in detail below according to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, and the purpose and effect of the present invention will become more clear. The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, a molten salt rapid cooling system includes: a molten salt cooling module, a cold and hot air mixing module, and a heat exchange module.
[0042] The molten salt cooling module includes: a hot salt tank 1, a molten salt pump 5, a cooler 2, and a cold salt tank 4. The outlet of the hot salt tank 1 is connected to the inlet of the molten salt pump 5 through a pipeline, and the outlet of the molten salt pump 5 is connected to the molten salt inlet 212 of the cooler 2 through a pipeline, and a first valve 6 is set on the pipeline to control the flow. The molten salt outlet 204 of the cooler 2 is connected to the inlet of the cold salt tank 4 through a pipeline, and a second valve 3 is set on the pipeline to control the flow.
[0043] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the cooler 2 includes: a shell 201, an upper crossbeam 202, a connecting column 203, a wind temperature meter 205, a molten salt coil 206, a flow guide 207, a rectangular replaceable fin 208, a blower 209, and a lower crossbeam 211. The upper crossbeam 202 is horizontally fixed to the top of the inner cavity of the shell 201, the lower crossbeam 211 is horizontally fixed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the shell 201, and the connecting column 203 is vertically fixed between the upper crossbeam 202 and the lower crossbeam 211, and the upper end is fixed to the center of the upper crossbeam 202, and the lower end is fixed to the center of the lower crossbeam 211. The guide body 207 is installed on the connecting column 203 and can rotate with the connecting column 203 as the axis; the guide body 207 is in a three-section spindle shape, the spindle section at the upper end has a large radius, and the spindle section at the lower end has a small radius. This structural setting can better achieve flow diversion, making the wind direction more rapid and the wind speed larger, which is conducive to heat exchange between air and molten salt salt tube 206. The molten salt coil 206 is arranged around the outer periphery of the guide body 207, one end of which passes through the outer shell 201 as the molten salt inlet 212, and the other end passes through the outer shell 201 as the molten salt outlet 204; an upward channel is formed between the molten salt coil 206 and the guide body 207, and a downward channel is formed between the molten salt coil 206 and the outer shell 201. Two through holes are symmetrically opened at the lower end of the outer periphery of the outer shell 201, which are respectively connected to the pipelines and serve as the first hot air outlet 213 and the second hot air outlet 210. The wind temperature meters 208 are installed at intervals along the axial direction of the flow guide 207 on the inner wall of the housing 201 , as well as at the first hot air outlet 213 and the second hot air outlet 210 , for measuring the air temperature at different positions.
[0044] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, there are multiple groups of rectangular replaceable fins 208, which are arranged on the upper and lower outer peripheral surfaces of the three spindles of the guide body 207, and each group has multiple fins, which are evenly arranged along the circumference. Specifically, the rectangular replaceable fins 208 are rotatably mounted on the guide body 207, and the fixed end of the rotating column 214 is fixedly connected to the guide body 207, and the rotating end is fixedly connected to the center of the side wall of the rectangular replaceable fin 208, and the rotation angle of the rotating end is adjustable and can be fixed, so as to realize the artificial adjustment of the angle of the rectangular replaceable fin 208. The rectangular replaceable fin 208 is used for guiding and rotating the wind. After the wind contacts the surface of the replaceable fin 208, it will flow along the tangent direction of the rectangular replaceable fin 208, changing the original straight flow path of the wind, so as to realize the guiding effect. Since the rectangular replaceable fin 208 is a rotatable structure, the angle of the rectangular replaceable fin 208 can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby dynamically changing the direction of wind flow to adapt to different cooling requirements and wind direction changes. The adjustable angle range is 0-90°.
[0045] like Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the rectangular replaceable fin 208 can be replaced with different types of fins such as triangular replaceable fins 215 or fan-shaped replaceable fins 216. The rectangular replaceable fin 208 has a relatively large heat transfer area and is suitable for occasions requiring a larger heat transfer area. It has a simple structure and relatively high strength and stability; but due to the relatively smooth flow of the fluid, the heat transfer efficiency may be relatively low. The triangular replaceable fin 215 can improve the heat transfer efficiency by destroying the boundary layer; but due to the increase in resistance, more energy may be required to drive the fluid flow, and due to the sharp edges, stress concentration is easily generated when subjected to external forces, and the strength and stability may be relatively low. The fan-shaped replaceable fin 216 has good fluid flow characteristics, which helps to improve the heat transfer efficiency. At the same time, the fan-shaped shape can also increase the heat transfer area and improve the heat transfer performance; the arc-shaped edge can disperse stress and improve strength and stability. In summary, if you need to increase the heat dissipation area and improve the cooling effect, you can use the rectangular replaceable fins 208; if you need to promote the mixing and heat transfer of warm air and need to run for a long time, you can use the triangular replaceable fins 215; if you need better heat transfer performance and stable air volume, you can use the fan-shaped replaceable fins 216. The specific selection is based on actual needs.
[0046] A blower 209 is coaxially arranged below the flow guide 207. Figure 8 As shown, the blower 209 includes a shell, ventilation slots 2091 and rotatable blades 2092. The shell is a cylinder, and a through hole is coaxially opened in the center thereof for the connection column 203 to pass through, and the shell is fixedly mounted on the connection column 203; a through hole is opened at the bottom of the shell for air intake, and the hole is the air inlet of the cooler 2. A plurality of ventilation slots 2091 are evenly opened in the circumferential direction at the center of the upper surface of the shell to communicate with the air inlet, and each ventilation slot 2091 extends radially from the axis to the outer periphery for a certain length, and the extension length is less than the radius of the shell. A rotatable blade 2092 is arranged in each ventilation slot 2091, and the blade angle can be manually adjusted according to the change of the external ambient temperature, thereby changing its position in the rotating slot 2091 to control the air intake flow. Specifically, when the outside temperature decreases, the air flow entering the cooler 2 needs to be reduced, and the rotatable blades 2092 need to be adjusted accordingly so that the angle between them and the ventilation slots 2091 becomes smaller; when the outside temperature increases, the air flow entering the cooler 2 needs to be increased, and the rotatable blades 2092 need to be adjusted accordingly so that the angle between them and the ventilation slots 2091 becomes larger.
[0047] The hot and cold air mixing module includes a mixer 10 and a fan 19. The main pipeline of the first branch pipe is connected to the first hot air outlet 213 of the cooler 2, and a third valve 7 is arranged on the main pipeline for adjusting the flow rate; the first branch 9 is connected to the first hot air inlet of the mixer 10, and the second branch 8 is connected to the air inlet 1 of the heat exchanger 17 of the heat exchange module. The main pipeline of the second branch pipe is connected to the second hot air outlet 210 of the cooler 2, and a fourth valve 14 is arranged on the main pipeline for adjusting the flow rate; the fourth branch 12 is connected to the second hot air inlet of the mixer 10, and the third branch 13 is connected to the air inlet 2 of the heat exchanger 17. The air outlet of the fan 19 is connected to the cold air inlet of the mixer 10 through a pipeline; a warm air outlet is opened above the mixer 10, and the warm air outlet is connected to the air inlet of the blower 209 through a pipeline, and a fifth valve 11 is arranged on the pipeline for adjusting the flow rate. The cold air output by the fan 19 and the hot air output by the cooler 2 are mixed in the mixer 10 and then output to the blower 209 through the warm air outlet of the mixer 10. The cold and hot air mixing module is an equipment component for adjusting the air temperature, which has the advantages of precise temperature regulation, energy saving and high efficiency, and strong adaptability. The module achieves the required temperature output by mixing the cold air and the hot air in a certain proportion. The module is also equipped with a wind temperature meter 205 and a control system 20 to accurately monitor and adjust the mixing ratio to ensure that the output air temperature is stable within the set value range; the wind temperature meter 205 is arranged inside the mixer 10, and the control system 20 controls the opening of the third valve 7, the fourth valve 14, and the power of the fan 19 according to the data fed back by the wind temperature meter 205. Specifically, when the outside temperature decreases, the air flow rate entering the cooler 2 needs to be reduced, and the power of the fan 19 needs to be adjusted down accordingly; when the outside temperature increases, the air flow rate entering the cooler 2 needs to be increased, and the power of the fan 19 needs to be adjusted up accordingly; this design reduces the fan power consumption when using a constant fan power and reduces the total heat dissipation loss of the system.
[0048] The heat exchange module includes: a water tank 15, a water pump 16, a heat exchanger 17, and a hot water storage device 18. The outlet of the water tank 15 is connected to the inlet of the water pump 16 through a pipeline, and the outlet of the water pump 16 is connected to the water inlet of the heat exchanger 17 through a pipeline; the water outlet of the heat exchanger 17 is connected to the hot water storage device 18 for supplying users and / or factories. The two air inlets of the heat exchanger 17 are respectively connected to the two hot air outlets of the cooler 2; the hot air after the heat exchange is completed is output from the air outlet of the heat exchanger 17. The setting of the heat exchange module reduces the energy waste of hot air and improves resource utilization.
[0049] Based on the above molten salt rapid cooling system, a molten salt rapid cooling method is proposed, which is specifically described through the following embodiments.
[0050] Example 1
[0051] A molten salt rapid cooling method, as follows:
[0052] The temperature of the high-temperature molten salt in the hot salt tank 1 is 580°C. The high-temperature molten salt flows out from the outlet of the hot salt tank 1, passes through the molten salt pump 5 along the pipeline, and flows into the molten salt coil 206 from the molten salt inlet 212 of the cooler 2 to participate in heat exchange. The flow rate of the high-temperature molten salt is controlled to be 1.5 kg / s by the molten salt pump 5 and the first valve 6. The length of the molten salt coil 206 is 310m. The low-temperature molten salt after heat exchange flows out from the molten salt outlet 204 of the cooler 2 at a temperature of 200°C, and enters the cold salt tank 4 along the pipeline for storage for subsequent industrial processing.
[0053] The fan 19 sends cold air into the mixer 10 along the pipeline, the cold air temperature is 30°C, the wind speed is 4m / s, and the warm air after the cold air and the hot air are mixed flows out from the warm air outlet of the mixer 10, and the warm air temperature is 110°C. The warm air enters the cooler 2 through the fifth valve 11 along the pipeline for heat exchange. Specifically, the warm air passes through the air inlet of the blower 209, passes through the ventilation slot 2091 and enters the upward channel. The warm air exchanges initial heat with the molten salt coil 206 while flowing upward along the guide body 207; after the wind reaches the top of the shell 201, it enters the downward channel through the gap between the molten salt coil 206 and the shell 201, and exchanges secondary heat with the molten salt coil 206 while descending along the inner wall of the shell 201, and finally flows out from the two hot air outlets. During the ascending and descending process, the warm air contacts the molten salt coil 206 for heat exchange, and the temperature gradually increases. The temperature of the hot air flowing out of the two hot air outlets (i.e., the first hot air outlet 213 and the second hot air outlet 210) is 180°C and the wind speed is 8m / s, indicating that the guide body 207 and the replaceable fins 208 in the molten salt rapid cooling system have played a role, changing the wind direction and increasing the wind speed. The hot air flowing out of the hot air outlet is divided into two paths, one of which is input into the mixer 10 to mix with the cold air to obtain warm air, and then sent to the cooler 2 to participate in the molten salt heat exchange, and the cycle is repeated; the other path is input into the heat exchanger 17 to participate in the water heat exchange.
[0054] Cold water flows out from the outlet of the water tank 15, the cold water temperature is 25°C, and flows into the heat exchanger 17 from the water inlet of the heat exchanger 17 along the pipeline through the water pump 16 for heat exchange. The water temperature after heat exchange increases, and the hot water temperature is 60°C. The hot water flows out from the water outlet of the heat exchanger 17 and flows into the hot water storage device 18 along the pipeline for use by users and factories; the wind after heat exchange is discharged into the atmosphere from the air outlet of the heat exchanger 17 through the pipeline.
[0055] like Fig. 9As shown, under the parameters of this embodiment, that is, the high-temperature molten salt temperature is 580°C, the molten salt flow rate is 1.5kg / s, and the warm air temperature at the lower air inlet is 110°C, as the time for the high-temperature molten salt to pass into the molten salt coil 206 increases, the position of the molten salt in the molten salt coil 206 when it is cooled to the specified temperature is recorded. As can be seen from the figure, when the high-temperature molten salt is passed into the molten salt coil 206 for 13s, the molten salt temperature drops to 200°C at 100m away from the molten salt inlet 212; at 27s, the molten salt temperature drops to 200°C at 160m; at 40s, the molten salt temperature drops to 200°C at 220m; at 53s, the molten salt temperature drops to 200°C at 300m. It proves that the present invention can achieve rapid cooling of molten salt in a short time.
[0056] Example 2
[0057] The temperature of the high-temperature molten salt is set to 580°C, the molten salt flow rate is 1.0kg / s, the length of the molten salt coil 206 is 310m, and the temperature of the low-temperature molten salt is 195°C. The cold air temperature output by the fan 19 is 30°C, the wind speed is 6m / s, the warm air temperature output after mixing with the hot air in the mixer 10 is 120°C, the hot air temperature at the two hot air outlets of the cooler 2 is 200°C, and the wind speed is 12m / s. The temperature of the cold water flowing into the heat exchanger 17 is 25°C, and the temperature of the hot water output is 70°C. The process flow is the same as that of Example 1.
[0058] like Fig.10 As shown, under the parameters of this embodiment, as the time for high-temperature molten salt to be passed into the molten salt coil 206 increases, the position of the molten salt in the molten salt coil 206 when it is cooled to a specified temperature is recorded. As can be seen from the figure, when the high-temperature molten salt is passed into the molten salt coil 206 for 20 seconds, the molten salt temperature drops to 200°C at 100m away from the molten salt inlet 212; at 40s, the molten salt temperature drops to 200°C at 160m; at 60s, the molten salt temperature drops to 200°C at 230m; at 80s, the molten salt temperature drops to 200°C at 260m. It is proved that the present invention can achieve rapid cooling of molten salt in a short time, and the cooling effect is better than that of Example 1.
[0059] Example 3
[0060] The temperature of the high-temperature molten salt is set to 580°C, the molten salt flow rate is 0.5kg / s, the length of the molten salt coil 206 is 310m, and the temperature of the low-temperature molten salt is 190°C. The cold air temperature output by the fan 19 is 30°C, the wind speed is 8m / s, the warm air temperature output after mixing with the hot air in the mixer 10 is 110°C, the hot air temperature at the two hot air outlets of the cooler 2 is 220°C, and the wind speed is 16m / s. The cold water temperature flowing into the heat exchanger 17 is 25°C, and the hot water temperature output is 80°C. The process flow is the same as that of Example 1.
[0061] like Fig.11 As shown, under the parameters of this embodiment, as the time for high-temperature molten salt to be passed into the molten salt coil 206 increases, the position of the molten salt in the molten salt coil 206 when it is cooled to a specified temperature is recorded. As can be seen from the figure, when the high-temperature molten salt is passed into the molten salt coil 206 for 40 seconds, the molten salt temperature drops to 200°C at 90m away from the molten salt inlet 212; at 80 seconds, the molten salt temperature drops to 200°C at 150m; at 120 seconds, the molten salt temperature drops to 200°C at 200m; at 160 seconds, the molten salt temperature drops to 200°C at 2500m. It is proved that the present invention can achieve rapid cooling of molten salt in a short time, and the cooling effect is better than that of Example 1 and Example 2.
