Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of nuclear energy pipeline fatigue analysis research, and in particular to a nuclear pressure water reactor pipeline thermal cycle test system and method. Background Art

[0002] T-type pipes are one of the most common component forms in nuclear power plant design, used for the intersection or diversion of fluids. When high-temperature water and low-temperature water in nuclear power plants are mixed through T-type pipes, the temperature of the inner surface of the pipe changes periodically, which may cause thermal fatigue damage to the pipe.

[0003] At present, when using the test bench for nuclear power plant related pipeline simulation for experimental research, there are the following technical difficulties:

[0004] (1) The starting time of the thermal fatigue test is difficult to determine. After adjusting the pressure and temperature of the test loop to the target values, in order to capture the temperature penetration and stress step change phenomena, the test duration is often increased to avoid missing the key test phenomena, thus wasting a lot of time and manpower costs;

[0005] (2) The influence of pipeline pressure fluctuations is difficult to realize. Experimental research can usually only control parameters such as flow rate and temperature. Since the influence of pressure fluctuations cannot be introduced, it cannot reflect the actual situation of the nuclear power plant;

[0006] (3) The pipeline flow control is limited. Affected by the single pipeline design of the circulation loop and the thermal expansion and contraction of the coolant, the flow rate is maintained unchanged during the test in order to follow the principle of a single control variable. As a result, the maximum target flow rate of the circulation loop can only be based on the low-temperature test conditions.

[0007] Patent document CN113808766B discloses a nanofluid cooling loop system suitable for a pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant. The system includes a nanofluid particle size detector, a nanofluid dispersion tank, and loop pipeline equipment. A sampling box is provided at the front end of the nanofluid particle size detector. A high-frequency ultrasonic vibration disperser group, an agitator, and a filter are provided inside the nanofluid dispersion tank. The start-up of each device is controlled by a controller. The problems of difficulty in determining the start time of the thermal fatigue test, inability to simulate pipeline pressure fluctuations, and limited flow control are not solved.

[0008] Patent document CN110957055B discloses a separate flexible heat pipe cooling system suitable for a pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant, including a closed loop consisting of a hot pipe segment, a connecting pipe segment and a cooling pipe segment. The hot pipe segment adopts a flexible pipe material with good heat exchange performance and capable of bending and deforming. The hot pipe segment is arranged inside the cooling object or wrapped around the cooling object. The cooling medium exchanges heat with the cooling object in the hot pipe segment, enters the cooling pipe segment through the connecting pipe segment, is cooled by the heat exchange device in the cooling pipe segment, and then flows back to the hot pipe segment. The problems of difficulty in determining the starting time of the thermal fatigue test, inability to simulate pipeline pressure fluctuations, and limited flow control are not solved.

[0009] In summary, the above two existing patents have not solved the problems that the starting time of the thermal fatigue test is difficult to determine, the pipeline pressure fluctuation cannot be simulated, and the flow control is limited. Summary of the invention

[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown in , two flow control sections 3 are set, and the two flow control sections 3 are set in parallel.

[0066] Furthermore, the pressure stabilizer 4 is arranged on the pipeline between the test section 1 and the plurality of flow control sections 3 .

[0067] Furthermore, the cooling medium 6 may be deionized water.

[0068] To achieve the above object, the present invention also proposes a nuclear pressure water reactor pipeline thermal cycle test method, using a nuclear pressure water reactor pipeline thermal cycle test system according to the above, comprising the following steps:

[0069] S1: Open the valve of the flow control section 3 and start the voltage regulator 4;

[0070] S2: When the coolant in the loop reaches the preset temperature, pressure and flow rate values, the valve of the high-pressure steam generator 2 is opened and steam is injected into the main pipe 11 of the test section 1 through the multiple steam injection branches 21.

[0071] Furthermore, the heater 323 of the regulator 4 and the flow control section 3 is turned on to heat the internal cooling medium 6 simultaneously. During the heating process, the temperature t of the cooling medium 6 in the regulator 4 must be kept constant. 1 Greater than the temperature of the circulating coolant t2 , and satisfy 10℃≤t 1 -t 2 ≤100℃, in this embodiment, t 1 -t 2 The reference value is 20℃.

[0072] Furthermore, when the temperature and pressure of the cooling medium 6 in the loop reach the target value, the loop pump 5 is adjusted to make the flow rate of the loop reach the target value; the target value range of the loop flow rate is 400m 3 / h-500m 3 / h; In this embodiment, the target value of the cooling medium 6 is 300°C, the target value of the pressure is 15.5MPa, and the target value of the loop flow is 450m 3 / h.

[0073] Furthermore, setting Figure 1 The two flow control sections 3 shown in the figure are selected to test the flow control section 3 on the left. At this time, the valves of the other pipelines of the rear main pipeline 321 and the front main pipeline 311 are closed. When the loop pump 35 adopts a variable frequency pump and the operating frequency reaches the maximum, the flow rate of the cooling medium 6 in the circulation loop reaches the maximum value Q max Due to the thermal expansion and contraction of the cooling medium 6, the viscosity of the coolant is small at high temperature and the resistance is reduced, resulting in a larger flow rate at low temperature. At this time, the front branch pipeline 312 and the rear branch pipeline 322 of the flow control section 3 are opened to increase the maximum flow rate of the circulation loop by 1.2Q max As the temperature rises, the flow rate of the coolant in the loop gradually increases. At this time, the loop flow rate can be adjusted by closing the front branch pipeline 312 and the rear branch pipeline 322 of the flow control section 3 or by reducing the frequency of the loop pump 5 until the loop flow rate reaches the maximum value Q max .

[0074] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the branch pipe 12 is monitored by the infrared temperature detector 5 to obtain the position of the thermal stratification boundary line of the branch pipe 12. When the position of the thermal stratification boundary line of the branch pipe 12 reaches a preset position, the valves of the plurality of steam injection branches 21 are opened for injection and the time is recorded.

[0075] Furthermore, steam is continuously injected into the main pipe 11 at intervals of 1s-2s, and the injection pressure waveform is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in FIG, multiple steam injection branches 21 are injected together, the pressure range of steam injection through the steam injection branch 21 is 0.2Mpa-0.6Mpa, the test duration is 0.2h-1h, and the pressure waveform of steam injection can be Figure 3 In this embodiment, one of a, b, c and d is used. Figure 3The test is performed according to the pressure waveform diagram c in the figure. The multiple steam injection branches 21 perform an injection pressure value ranging from 0.2Mpa to 0.4Mpa together. The injection pressure value is changed every 5s, and steam with pressures of 0.2Mpa and 0.4Mpa are injected alternately. During the steam injection process, the temperature data of the branch pipe 12 is continuously recorded by the infrared temperature detector 5.

[0076] Furthermore, the pressure p of the high-pressure steam generator 2 2 The pressure p maintained by the regulator 4 1 Satisfy 1.2p 1 ≤p 2 ≤1.5p 1 , set endpoint p 2 ≥1.2p 1 In order to ensure that each steam injection branch 21 can inject high-temperature and high-pressure steam into the main pipe 11 of the test section 1, the endpoint p is set 2 ≤1.5p 1 It is designed based on the instantaneous maximum working pressure of 1.5 times of the stainless steel pipe. In this embodiment, p 2 =1.3p 1 .

[0077] In summary, it can be seen from the above description that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

The present invention proposes a nuclear pressurized water reactor pipeline thermal cycle test system and method, which significantly improves the functionality and adaptability of the test system through a high-pressure steam generator, a parallel pipeline design, and precise control of temperature and flow; the high-pressure steam generator can provide a variety of pressure fluctuation forms for the test loop to simulate the complex working conditions in the actual operation of the nuclear power plant, thereby more realistically reflecting the thermal fatigue characteristics of the pipeline under different pressure conditions; through the parallel design of multiple flow control sections, the system can flexibly switch under different temperature and flow conditions to meet high temperature, low temperature and different flow requirements of the test conditions. This design not only breaks through the flow limitation of the traditional single pipeline design, but also realizes precise control of the flow through the layout of pipelines with different diameters, ensuring the reliability and scientificity of the test data.
