Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steam flow excitation vibration assessment of a condenser cooling pipe of a nuclear power unit, and in particular to a method for assessing steam flow excitation vibration of a condenser cooling pipe of a nuclear power unit. Background Art

[0002] The condenser is an important auxiliary equipment of the nuclear power unit. The failure of the condenser will directly affect the reliability and safety of the operation of the nuclear power unit. The leakage of the cooling pipe is a common failure of the condenser. If the cooling water enters the steam side of the condenser due to the leakage of the cooling pipe, the condensate quality on the steam side of the condenser will deteriorate rapidly. In severe cases, it may even cause the nuclear power unit to reduce power and shut down.

[0003] In addition to the corrosion of the cooling pipe material, the cause of condenser cooling pipe leakage may also be caused by the vibration of the cooling pipe caused by local steam flow excitation during the operation of the condenser. Steam flow excitation is a common form of cooling pipe vibration induced by high-speed steam flow. It is generally believed that when a fluid with a certain flow rate flows through a cooling pipe with a large span, the cooling pipe will be instantly displaced from its original equilibrium position, and the balance of the adjacent cooling pipe will be destroyed, causing it to also be in a vibrating state. If in each vibration cycle, the energy absorbed by the cooling pipe from the fluid is greater than the energy consumed by the cooling pipe due to damping, steam flow excitation will occur.

[0004] In order to avoid the occurrence of steam flow excitation, the world-recognized American Heat Transfer Society's HEI standard for condenser design has specific design requirements for the condenser partition spacing, that is, the cooling pipe span. However, the HEI standard determines the maximum span of the cooling pipe under the assumption that the turbine exhaust velocity distribution is uniform, and does not take into account the situation where the steam flow rate may be too high locally. In addition, researchers have also proposed empirical formulas to evaluate whether the cooling pipe steam flow excitation is vibrated based on experimental research and actual measurement analysis, which is used to prevent high-speed steam flow from causing vibration damage to the cooling pipe. For example, Sebald JF proposed to keep the maximum deflection of the cooling pipe within 1 / 4 of the cooling pipe arrangement hole bridge, and thus derived the Sebald JF formula for calculating the maximum allowable span of the cooling pipe; Coit RL proposed a concept to characterize the severity of cooling pipe vibration, namely the vibration degree, which is considered to be proportional to the steam flow load per unit length of the cooling pipe and inversely proportional to the stiffness and logarithmic decay rate of the cooling pipe span, and thus derived another Coit RL formula for calculating the maximum allowable span of the cooling pipe; Peaker CC, based on the Coit RL formula, increased the limit on the vibration degree from 0.0432m to 0.0254m, and thus obtained the Peaker CC formula. However, these empirical formulas also use the average steam flow rate to evaluate the cooling pipe steam flow excitation when calculating the maximum allowable span of the cooling pipe, and do not take into account the specific situation of the steam flow field distribution at the condenser throat outlet.

[0005] In fact, due to the particularity of the geometric structure of the turbine exhaust cylinder and condenser throat and the complexity of the layout of the internal components of the condenser throat, the steam flow velocity distribution at the condenser throat outlet cannot be uniformly distributed, and there is a possibility of excessive local flow velocity. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a steam flow excitation evaluation of the cooling pipe based on the condenser throat outlet flow velocity distribution. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for evaluating the steam flow excitation vibration of the cooling pipe of the condenser of a nuclear power unit, taking into account the flow velocity distribution at the outlet of the condenser throat of the nuclear power unit, and is suitable for the scenarios where the geometric structures of the turbine exhaust cylinder and the condenser throat of the nuclear power unit are special and the internal components of the condenser throat are complexly arranged.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0019] As one achievable method, in step 12, the distance by which the flow area of ​​the condenser outlet cross section is extended is 10 to 20 times the equivalent diameter of the condenser outlet cross section; the equivalent diameter of the condenser outlet cross section is calculated according to the following formula:

[0020]

[0021] Where A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the condenser throat outlet, and X is the circumference of the condenser throat outlet cross-sectional area.

[0022] As one possible implementation method, in step 13, the general form of the steam motion equation at the condenser throat is:

[0028] The saturated steam physical property parameters are the saturated steam physical property parameters corresponding to the pressure under the condenser working condition; the saturated steam physical property parameters include the density and dynamic viscosity of saturated steam.

[0029] As one of the feasible ways, step 2 is to discretize the flow area where the throat outlet section of the condenser is connected with the downstream cooling pipe to obtain multiple discrete areas, including the following steps:

[0030] Step 21, according to the condenser throat outlet size and the condenser shell side cooling pipe position, determine the flow area that interfaces with the downstream cooling pipe on the condenser throat outlet section;

[0031] Step 22, according to the middle partition span and the end plate span on the condenser shell side, the flow area that is determined on the condenser throat outlet section and that interfaces with the downstream cooling pipe is discretized along the axial direction of the cooling pipe to obtain a plurality of first discrete areas;

[0032] Step 23, according to the spacing between the cooling tubes of the condenser, take n times the spacing between the tubes, discretize the flow area connected to the downstream cooling tube on the throat outlet section of the condenser in the axial direction of the cooling tube, and discretize each first discrete area into multiple second discrete areas; n is between 3 and 7.

[0034] Step 31, extracting the steam velocity of each second discrete region according to the velocity field distribution of the condenser throat outlet section, and calculating the average steam velocity of each first discrete region;

[0035] Step 32: Taking the average steam flow rate of each first discrete area as the steam flow rate characteristic value, the condenser cooling pipe steam flow excitation evaluation formula is used to calculate the allowable maximum span of the downstream cooling pipe for each first discrete area one by one.

[0036] As one of the feasible ways, the steam flow excitation vibration evaluation formula for the condenser cooling tube is a safer one, and the Peaker CC formula is preferred; the Peaker CC formula is:

[0042] When the risk factor of the first discrete sub-region is greater than the risk factor safety margin, it is assessed that there is a risk of steam flow excitation in the cooling pipe downstream of the first discrete sub-region;

[0043] The risk factor safety margin is determined based on theoretical value or engineering experience, and the theoretical value of the risk factor safety margin is 1.
