Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal cycling experiments in nuclear power pipelines, and specifically to a thermal cycling experimental system and method for stagnant pipelines. Background Technology
[0002] During the operation of a nuclear power plant, the heat generated by the reactor needs to be transferred through a piping system. The fluid movement within these pipes can become highly complex due to their unique structure, such as the turbulent infiltration-induced thermal cycling phenomenon in the downstream horizontal stagnant branch pipes. This phenomenon is characterized by reciprocating thermal fluctuations at the interface between hot and cold elements. These temperature fluctuations, when transmitted to the pipe walls, cause periodic intensifications and deteriorations of thermal stratification, leading to localized fatigue loads at critical locations within the pipes. This exacerbates crack initiation, shortens the lifespan of critical pipes, and poses a potential threat to the operational safety of nuclear power facilities. Because thermal cycling is a dynamic phenomenon, it is difficult to monitor directly in engineering. Therefore, targeted experiments are needed to measure the impact of parameters such as mainstream velocity, mainstream temperature, and the main-to-branch pipe diameter ratio on the thermal cycling phenomenon.
[0003] Currently, there are relevant measures for experiments on thermal stratification in fluctuating pipes; however, they lack flexibility in adjusting parameters such as pipe diameter ratio, temperature difference, and flow rate, and there is limited data acquisition for strain. Secondly, existing heat dissipation devices often cannot effectively consider the complex heat dissipation conditions of thermal cycling. During thermal cycling experiments on pipelines, there is no comprehensive monitoring system or method to accurately obtain data on the pipeline's temperature and deformation status. Furthermore, current deformation detection of pipelines mainly uses digital image correlation (DIC) technology, which has the following problems: DIC technology has certain requirements for ambient light and surface texture; in outdoor or poorly lit environments, additional lighting equipment may be needed to ensure image quality; DIC technology requires good texture features on the surface of the measured object to track feature points in the image. For pipelines with smooth surfaces or indistinct textures, additional surface treatments, such as spraying random speckle patterns, may be needed to improve measurement accuracy; DIC technology mainly uses a single camera and can only measure two-dimensional deformation data, unable to measure three-dimensional deformation.
[0004] Patent document CN116066654B discloses a pipeline system for eliminating thermal fatigue in nuclear power plant pipelines. The system includes a main pipeline and branch pipelines connected to it. Each branch pipeline includes a vertical section and a horizontal section. The vertical section is connected to the main pipeline, and the horizontal section is connected to the end of the vertical section furthest from the main pipeline. The horizontal section has a sensitive area. The axial heat transfer system for mitigating thermal stratification in nuclear power plant pipelines includes: a heat pipe device extending axially along the lower outer wall of the main and branch pipelines to transport heat to the sensitive area to eliminate or mitigate the thermal stratification effect; and a temperature measuring device located on the outer periphery of the horizontal section at the sensitive area to detect the temperature of the sensitive area. This pipeline system for eliminating thermal fatigue in nuclear power plant pipelines reduces the occurrence of thermal stratification, thermal cycling, and thermal oscillation in nuclear power plant pipelines, thus lowering the probability of pipeline fatigue. However, it does not solve the problem of monitoring pipeline temperature, deformation state, and strain in current pipeline thermal fatigue tests.

[0013] Furthermore, the first pipe segment is connected perpendicular to the main pipe, and the second pipe segment is arranged parallel to the main pipe, and the second pipe segment is an L-shaped pipe segment.
[0014] Furthermore, the branch pipe includes multiple temperature measuring points and multiple thermocouples, with the multiple temperature measuring points arranged at different radial angle positions of the branch pipe; each thermocouple corresponds to one temperature measuring point.
[0015] The thermocouple is inserted radially into the wall of the branch pipe at a distance of 1mm-3mm from the inner wall of the branch pipe.
[0016] Furthermore, multiple temperature measuring points are located on the same measuring section of the branch pipe and are arranged at radial positions of the branch pipe at intervals of 44°-46°, and the branch pipe includes multiple measuring sections.
[0017] Furthermore, the branch pipe includes multiple high-temperature speckle spray points, which are located on the second pipe section.
[0018] Furthermore, the branch pipe includes a cooling flange, which is located at the end of the third pipe section that is not connected to the second pipe section.
[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a water chiller and an electric valve, wherein the water chiller is connected to the cooling flange via a pipe, and the electric valve is located on the pipe between the water chiller and the cooling flange.
[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a cooling duct, which is located outside the branch pipe.
[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a thermal insulation layer, which is filled between the cooling air duct and the branch pipe, and the thickness of the thermal insulation layer is 5mm-15mm.
[0022] Furthermore, it also includes a blower, which is connected to the cooling duct via a flexible hose.
[0023] Furthermore, the diameter D1 of the main pipe ranges from 15cm to 40cm;
[0024] The diameter D2 of the branch pipe ranges from 3cm to 20cm.
[0025] Furthermore, it also includes a water storage tank, which is connected to the heating pipeline and the experimental pipeline.
[0026] Furthermore, it also includes a heating pipe section, which, together with the heating pipeline, forms a heating circuit.

[0029] Furthermore, the experimental pipeline also includes a speedometer, which is located upstream of the main pipe in the experimental pipeline.
[0030] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention also proposes an experimental method using the above-mentioned stagnant pipe thermal circulation system.
[0031] A method for conducting thermal cycling experiments in a stagnant pipe, characterized by comprising:
[0032] S1: Adjust the temperature and pressure of the experimental water in the system to the target value through the heating pipeline;

[0039] y = F(x, T)
[0040] Where x is the opening degree of the electric regulating valve in the experimental pipeline, and T is time. The flow curve is obtained based on the flow rate, and the output waveform and opening degree of the electric regulating valve in the experimental pipeline are adjusted according to the flow curve.
[0041] Furthermore, step S2 also includes:
[0042] Start the blower, electric valve, and water cooler. Set the two strain monitoring lenses at different positions 30cm-50cm away from the second pipe section so that both strain monitoring lenses can capture the high-temperature speckle spray points. Obtain temperature data through thermocouples. Turn on the two strain monitoring lenses to capture the deformation position of the high-temperature speckle spray points to obtain three-dimensional strain field data.
[0043] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0044] 1. This invention proposes a stagnant pipe thermal circulation experimental system and method. By adjusting the flow system and replacing the experimental pipe section, the experimental system of this invention can simulate thermal circulation phenomena under different operating conditions, including variables such as different main pipe temperatures, pipe diameters, main-branch pipe diameter ratios, and flow velocities.

Multiple strain monitoring lenses, combined with an optical measurement system, capture speckle patterns to obtain a three-dimensional strain field. This precise data acquisition capability makes the experimental results more reliable, providing accurate data support for subsequent analysis and research.

[0056] Example
[0057] This invention proposes a stagnant pipe thermal circulation experimental system, such as... Figure 1 The diagram shows a heating pipeline and an experimental pipeline, which are connected in parallel. The experimental pipeline includes a main pipe and branch pipes.
[0058] The branch pipe includes a first pipe section, a second pipe section, and a third pipe section. The branch pipe is connected to the main pipe through the first pipe section. The first pipe section is connected to one end of the second pipe section, and the third pipe section is connected to the other end of the second pipe section.
[0059] The diameter D1 of the main pipe is larger than the diameter D2 of the branch pipe.
[0060] Furthermore, the composition of branch pipe 2 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the first section of branch pipe 2 is vertically connected to the main pipe 1, the other end of the first section is connected to the second section, and the third section is connected to the first section through the second section. The bending angle of the second section is 90°, the length of the first section is 0.5m, and the length of the third section is 1.2m. The first section, the second section and the third section together form the main structure of branch pipe 2.
[0061] Furthermore, a cooling flange 14 is installed at the end of the third pipe section. The cooling flange 14 has multiple layers of guide vanes inside, and an inlet and an outlet are respectively provided on both sides of the cooling flange 14 for connecting to the water chiller 18. The temperature of the water in the branch pipe 2 flowing into the water chiller 18 through the cooling flange 14 is controlled to be maintained between 35℃ and 80℃.
[0062] Furthermore, the outer side of the branch pipe 2 is provided with insulation cotton, and the outer side of the insulation cotton is provided with a cooling air duct 15 to wrap the branch pipe 2. A blower 16 is provided outside the branch pipe 2, and the blower 16 is connected to the cooling air duct 15 through a flexible hose.
[0063] Furthermore, two strain monitoring lenses 19 are respectively set outside the second pipe section, so that the two sets of strain monitoring lenses 19 can capture and detect as many high-temperature speckle spray points 2c on the second pipe section as possible.
[0064] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention also proposes a method for conducting thermal cycling experiments on stagnant pipes, using the thermal cycling experimental system for stagnant pipes described above, comprising the following steps:
[0065] S1: Adjust the temperature and pressure of the experimental water in the system to the target value through heating pipeline 3a;
[0066] S2: Control the flow of experimental water into the main pipe 1 and the branch pipe 2.
[0067] Further, step S1 includes:
[0068] The water temperature and pressure of the experimental water in the system are adjusted to the target values by using electric heater 9 and voltage regulator 10.
[0069] Furthermore, open the electric regulating valve 11 of the heating pipeline 3a, close the electric regulating valve 12 of the experimental pipeline 3b, adjust the variable frequency pump 7, and observe the circuit flow through the flow meter 8. Preferably, the water temperature in the heating pipeline 3a is raised to 300°C and the pressure is raised to 9 MPa through the electric heater 9 and the pressure regulator 10. The electric heater 9 and the pressure regulator 10 work alternately to ensure that all parts of the system are stable and do not boil.
[0070] Further, step S2 includes:
[0071] By opening the electric regulating valve 12 of the experimental pipeline, experimental water flows into the main pipe 1 and the branch pipe 2, and the temperature boundary on the outside of the branch pipe 2 is kept stable by the water chiller 18 and the blower 16.
[0072] Furthermore, by adjusting the experimental pipeline regulating valve 12, a sine wave, triangular wave, square wave, or trapezoidal wave is input to the experimental water according to the experimental parameter requirements. At the same time, the flow curve is obtained based on the opening degree and time of the experimental pipeline regulating valve 12, and the experimental pipeline regulating valve 12 is further adjusted based on the obtained flow curve.
[0073] Furthermore, step S2 also includes:
[0074] Two strain monitoring lenses were placed at different positions 40cm away from the second pipe section, so that both lenses could acquire images of the high-temperature speckle spray point 2c on the second pipe section. The blower 16 was started and the electric valve 17 was opened. Temperature data of various temperature measuring points 2a on different sections were obtained through thermocouples 2b on the experimental pipe section. The second pipe section was photographed by strain monitoring lenses 19 at different angles to capture the high-temperature speckle spray point 2c and obtain three-dimensional strain field data.
[0075] Furthermore, when it is necessary to conduct experiments under different experimental conditions, after the experimental pipeline 3b stops draining, the main pipe 1 and the branch pipe 2 are removed. By replacing the main pipe 1 and the branch pipe 2 with different diameters, the ratio of the diameters of the main pipe 1 and the branch pipe 2 is adjusted. Preferably, the diameter D1 of the main pipe 1 is 20cm, the diameter D2 of the branch pipe 2 is 10cm, and the ratio of D1 to D2 is 2:1.
[0076] In summary, as can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
