Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of heat exchange tube wear test, and in particular relates to a heat exchange tube vibration wear test device with adjustable clearance in a hot water environment. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the global economy and the significant improvement of social productivity, people's demand and consumption of energy continue to increase. Compared with traditional fossil fuels such as oil and coal, new energy sources with higher efficiency, cleaner energy and huge development potential urgently need to be developed and utilized faster. Nuclear power, as a low-carbon and stable energy option, has gradually gained attention. Nuclear power uses nuclear energy to generate electricity, and its carbon emissions are almost zero. It can significantly reduce dependence on traditional fossil energy while meeting a large amount of electricity demand. Therefore, nuclear power can not only ensure the security and stability of energy supply, but also promote the optimization and upgrading of energy structure and help the global efforts to combat climate change.

[0003] As a key equipment of the primary circuit in the nuclear power system, the heat exchange tube of the steam generator is crucial to the safe operation of the entire device. In fact, in the accidents of this equipment, more than half of the cases are attributed to the damage of the heat exchange tube, which seriously threatens the overall safety and reliability of the equipment. Especially inside the steam generator, when the flow velocity of the two-phase flow is abnormal or unstable, the heat exchange tube bundle may experience the so-called "flow elastic instability" phenomenon. At this time, the heat exchange tube bundle will violently collide and rub with the supporting structure such as the anti-vibration bar, resulting in wear and fatigue damage between the heat exchange tube and the supporting structure. This is one of the major safety hazards that cannot be ignored in the field of energy engineering. The different fluids flowing inside and outside the heat exchange tube are affected by the internal and external pressure difference, and their flow state is constantly changing, thereby generating complex exciting forces. These exciting forces trigger violent contact vibrations between the heat exchange tube and the anti-vibration bar, and after the wear threshold of the heat exchange tube is exceeded, the wear phenomenon gradually appears. Existing test devices and methods include uniaxial or multiaxial wear tests, fatigue tests, and tensile tests. These tests are difficult to obtain the three-dimensional transient contact force between the heat exchange tube and the anti-vibration strip and the actual amplitude of the heat exchange tube, and are unable to analyze which variables are most significant for wear, thereby providing a more accurate wear prediction model. In addition, the existing experimental equipment on the market is relatively cumbersome in adjusting the gap between the heat exchange tube and the anti-vibration strip, and cannot provide the actual service conditions of the heat exchange tube. Considering the actual working conditions of the steam generator heat exchange tube, it is necessary to design a wear test device that can heat the water environment and can easily adjust the gap between the heat exchange tube and the anti-vibration strip, analyze the wear behavior of the heat exchange tube under hot water environment, and increase the service life of the heat exchange tube and even the entire steam generator.
