[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of energy efficiency evaluation of heating systems, and in particular to an energy efficiency evaluation method and system for heating systems based on thorium-based molten salt boilers. Background Art
[0002] Traditional fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal have limited reserves, and the use of these fuels will produce a large amount of pollutants, causing serious impacts on the environment. With the continuous growth of global energy demand and the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the development of new energy has become an urgent and important task for mankind. Nuclear energy, as a clean and efficient form of energy, has always been a hot topic of research. However, traditional nuclear energy technology has problems such as nuclear waste disposal and nuclear radiation safety, which limit its widespread application. In order to overcome these problems, researchers have been exploring safer and cleaner nuclear fuels and reactor technologies.
[0003] In this context, thorium-based molten salt reactor technology came into being. As an abundant nuclear fuel, thorium has the advantages of huge reserves and low radioactivity. Molten salt reactors use liquid fluoride salts as coolants and reactor materials, which have higher safety and efficiency. Therefore, the heating system based on thorium-based molten salt boilers has been developed and has become a new heating technology with broad application prospects.
[0004] The heating system based on thorium-based molten salt boiler is a new type of heating technology, which combines multiple components such as reactor, chemical processing equipment, intelligent control system, condensation plug, emergency reserve system, heat exchange unit and user heating system. It has the characteristics of small modularization, high safety and strong controllability, and can effectively solve the problems of serious air pollution and poor environmental performance in existing technologies at a low cost.
[0005] For example, the patent document with application number 201820257398.0 discloses a heating system based on a thorium-based molten salt boiler. Through three-level energy transfer, it can control the heat within a temperature range suitable for user heating, avoiding the problem of uncontrollable heat energy caused by excessive heat energy. It is highly safe and controllable, and can effectively solve the technical problems of severe air pollution and poor environmental performance in the prior art at a low cost.
[0006] However, the existing heating systems based on thorium-based molten salt boilers similar to the above-mentioned applications still have some shortcomings and gaps in energy efficiency evaluation. Although thorium-based molten salt boilers have great potential as an innovative heating technology, due to their novelty and complexity, specialized energy efficiency evaluation methods and systems have not been fully developed and applied, which is not conducive to an intuitive understanding of the operating efficiency, energy consumption and potential improvement space of the heating system.
