Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of integrated thermal insulation devices, and particularly to an electric heating integrated thermal insulation device. Background Art

[0002] As a core means for the thermal management of liquid sodium pipelines, the electric heating integrated thermal insulation device plays a key role in high-temperature industries and sodium-cooled reactors in preventing sodium solidification (freezing point ≈ 97.8°C), maintaining flow stability, and avoiding thermal stress damage.

[0003] However, existing thermal insulation technologies face multiple challenges in the scenario of liquid sodium transportation. During operation, the turbulent impact and mechanical vibration of liquid sodium cause the thermal insulation layer to fit loosely, and millimeter-scale gaps form a thermal bridge effect, resulting in a 3 - 5-fold increase in local heat flux density. Lightweight materials are more likely to induce grain boundary fracture due to long-term vibration, and the thermal insulation performance decays non-linearly. When the device is out of operation, moisture infiltration will react with the residual sodium to generate hydrogen and strong alkali, leading to explosion and corrosion. Hygroscopic materials, such as silicates, are prone to caking and pulverization in a humid environment. Secondly, the disassembly and maintenance of traditional thermal insulation layers take too long, unable to meet the requirements of the safety window, which further leads to prominent safety hazards in liquid sodium pipelines and high maintenance costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an electric heating integrated thermal insulation device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1-10 , the present invention provides a technical solution: an electric heating integrated heat preservation device, including two groups of first outer shells 1, two groups of second outer shells 2, a target pipeline 3, four groups of inner shells 4, and a monitoring component 7. The inner shells 4 are arranged inside the first outer shells 1 and the second outer shells 2. Every two inner shells 4 located in the radial direction of the target pipeline 3 are symmetrically arranged around the target pipeline 3. The two inner shells 4 located in the axial direction of the target pipeline 3 correspond to the positions of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 respectively. The first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are connected. The monitoring component 7 is arranged inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2. The lengths of the four groups of inner shells 4 are the same. The monitoring component 7 is used to monitor the temperature after heating of the inner shells 4, the temperature, humidity, vacuum degree and whether there is sodium leakage inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2.

[0019] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, two groups of connectors 5 are arranged on the periphery of the connection part of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2. The two groups of connectors 5 are symmetrically arranged. The ends of the two groups of connectors 5 are connected by fasteners. Sealing gaskets are arranged on the sides of the connectors 5 close to the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2. The connectors 5 can be hoop clamps or other components capable of connecting the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2. The fasteners can be bolts and nuts. The two groups of connectors 5 are used to connect the two groups of first outer shells 1 and the two groups of second outer shells 2 into a whole, ensuring the tightness of the connection between the two groups of first outer shells 1 and the two groups of second outer shells 2, and at the same time facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the first outer shell 1, the second outer shell 2 and related internal components.

[0020] Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, both ends of the first outer shell 1 are provided with first end faces 11. The center of the first end face 11 is arranged in a stepped shape. A first air exchange hole 12 is opened on the first end face 11. Two groups of first outer shells 1 are fixedly connected to each other on the opposite side by a first support surface 13. A second air exchange hole 14 is opened on the first support surface 13. A number of first inner supports 15 are fixedly connected inside the first outer shell 1. The top of the first outer shell 1 at the upper position is fixedly connected with a first air exchange port 16. The bottom of the first outer shell 1 at the lower position is fixedly connected with a second air exchange port 17. The center of the first end face 11 is fixedly connected with a middle heat insulation layer 18. The middle heat insulation layer 18 is a hollow structure. Heat insulation materials are filled inside the middle heat insulation layer 18. The radial cross-section of the middle heat insulation layer 18 is fan-shaped; Specifically, as Figures 4-6 shown, a high-temperature resistant heat insulation cloth 21 is arranged between the second outer shell 2 and the first end face 11 of the first outer shell 1. The structure of the second outer shell 2 is the same as that of the first outer shell 1, but the length of the second outer shell 2 is greater than that of the first outer shell 1. The lengths of the inner shell, the middle heat insulation layer, and the first outer shell inside the first outer shell are arranged in decreasing order in sequence; the lengths of the inner shell, the middle heat insulation layer, and the second outer shell inside the second outer shell are arranged in increasing order in sequence; in the axial direction of the target pipeline, the inner shells and the middle heat insulation layers of two adjacent groups on the same side are continuously penetrated. In the radial direction of the target pipeline, the inner shells and the middle heat insulation layers inside the first outer shell and the inner shells and the middle heat insulation layers inside the second outer shell form a stepped connection with equal-length staggered fitting.

[0021] It should be noted that the high-temperature resistant heat insulation cloth 21 can be made of fiberglass cloth.

[0022] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, both ends of the inner shell 4 are provided with first sliding grooves 41. An inner heat insulation layer 42 is slidably connected inside the first sliding grooves 41. The first sliding grooves 41 are attached to the target pipeline 3. The inner heat insulation layer 42 is fixed at the fan-shaped center of the middle heat insulation layer 18; In actual operation, two groups of inner shells 4 are attached to the target pipeline 3. The inner thermal insulation layer 42 is arranged on the periphery of the inner shell 4, the middle thermal insulation layer 18 is on the periphery of the inner shell 4, and the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are on the periphery of the middle thermal insulation layer 18. The two groups of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are arranged on the periphery of the target pipeline 3, and the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are alternately arranged in the axial direction of the target pipeline 3, so that the first end face 11, the first support surface 13 on the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 and the middle thermal insulation layer 18 are in contact with each other. The inner shell 4 and the inner thermal insulation layer 42 can be connected at the axial ends. At the same time, the connected first support surface 13 can also ensure that a sealed space is formed between the inner shell 4 and the inner thermal insulation layer 42. After the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are aligned, the connecting piece 5 and the fastener are used to connect the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 into a whole. At this time, in the axial direction of the target pipeline 3, the sealed spaces formed by the inner shell 4 and the inner thermal insulation layer 42, the sealed space formed by the first support surface 13, and the sealed spaces formed by the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, and the connection part is in a stepped shape, which is beneficial to preventing heat from dissipating from the connection part, thereby improving the heat preservation effect of the heat preservation device.

[0023] Specifically, as Figures 6-9 shown, a number of buffer components 43 are arranged between the first chute 41 and the inner thermal insulation layer 42. By setting the first chute 41 to be slidably connected to the inner thermal insulation layer 42 and arranging the buffer components 43 inside the first chute 41 and the inner thermal insulation layer 42, the first chute 41 can be made to fit the target pipeline 3 more closely, and the first chute 41 can fit target pipelines 3 with different diameters, improving the applicability of the heat preservation device. At the same time, when the target pipeline 3 conveys the medium, the buffer components 43 can buffer the periodic stress generated by pressure fluctuations, fluid impacts or mechanical vibrations, so that the buffer components 43 can reduce the influence of stress on the sealing performance.

[0024] It should be noted that heat preservation materials are arranged on the opposite sides of the two groups of middle thermal insulation layers 18 to ensure that the opposite sides of the middle thermal insulation layers 18 are in a sealed state; the inner shell 4 is made of soft metal and can adapt to and fit the outer surface of the target pipeline 3.

[0025] Furthermore, as Figure 9 shown, the buffer component 43 includes a support frame 431, a second inner support 433, a spring 437 and a telescopic rod 438. The support frame 431 is fixed to the outer wall of the inner shell 4. A number of second chutes 432 and limit holes 4310 are formed on the support frame 431. A second inner support 433 is fixedly connected inside the inner thermal insulation layer 42. A third chute 434 is formed on the second inner support 433. A first slider 435 is arranged in the second chute 432, and the first slider 435 is slidably connected to the second chute 432. A second slider 436 is arranged in the third chute 434, and the second slider 436 is slidably connected to the third chute 434. The positions of the support frame 431 and the second inner support 433 correspond to each other, and the positions of the second chute 432 and the third chute 434 correspond to each other; The telescopic rod 438 and the spring 437 are fixed between the first slider 435 and the second slider 436. The spring 437 is arranged outside the telescopic rod 438, and a plurality of air holes 439 are arranged on the telescopic rod 438.

[0026] In actual operation, when periodic stress is generated due to pressure fluctuation, fluid impact or mechanical vibration during medium transportation, since the inner shell 4 fits the target pipeline 3, the stress generated is transmitted to the inner shell 4 through the target pipeline 3. The inner shell 4 deforms under the action of the stress, and then the force generated during the deformation of the inner shell 4 is transmitted to the buffer assembly 43. Since the inner thermal insulation layer 42 slides in the first chute 41 at the end of the inner shell 4, the inner shell 4 can adapt to the deformation generated by the target pipeline 3 under the action of stress, thereby ensuring relative sealing between the first chute 41 and the inner shell 4; due to the stress being periodic or fluctuating, the inner shell 4 will generate alternating deformation towards the inner thermal insulation layer 42 side and towards the target pipeline 3 side. When the inner shell 4 deforms towards the inner thermal insulation layer 42 side, the spring 437 in the buffer assembly 43 compresses, and the telescopic rod 438 shortens, causing the gas inside the telescopic rod 438 to be discharged through the air holes 439. When the inner shell 4 deforms towards the target pipeline 3 side, the spring 437 in the buffer assembly 43 stretches, and the telescopic rod 438 elongates, causing the telescopic rod 438 to inhale the gas between the inner shell 4 and the inner thermal insulation layer 42 through the air holes 439, thereby promoting the gas flow between the inner shell 4 and the inner thermal insulation layer 42. The spring 437 can absorb the force generated during the fluctuation, and at the same time assist the inner shell 4 to maintain a relatively stable position under the pressure and elastic force of the spring 437, thereby further ensuring relative sealing between the first chute 41 and the inner shell 4 and avoiding heat dissipation.

[0027] Specifically, as Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the monitoring assembly 7 includes a thermocouple 71, a temperature and humidity sensor 72, a vacuum degree detector 73 and a sodium leakage insulator 74. The thermocouple 71 is connected to the inner shell 4, the temperature and humidity sensor 72 and the vacuum degree detector 73 are fixed on the inner walls of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, and the sodium leakage insulator 74 is fixed at the bottom of the inner shell 4. The thermocouple 71 is used to detect the temperature of the inner shell 4 after being heated by the heating assembly 6, the temperature and humidity sensor 72 is used to detect the temperature and humidity inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, the vacuum degree detector 73 is used to detect the vacuum degree inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, and the sodium leakage insulator 74 is used to detect whether there is liquid sodium leakage, thereby improving the safety of the heat preservation device; It should be noted that when there is no leakage, the closed space formed by the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 is only the space area between the outer wall of the middle thermal insulation layer 18 and the inside of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2.

[0028] The monitoring component 7 is signal-connected to a monitoring module. The monitoring module is used to collect and monitor the temperature of the inner shell 4 after being heated by the heating component 6, the temperature, humidity, vacuum degree inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, and whether there is sodium leakage. Then, it makes a safety monitoring judgment based on the collected results, and controls relevant equipment for adjustment according to the judgment results. The monitoring module is also signal-connected to the heating component 6 and the regulation component 8.

[0029] Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 9 shown, the heating component 6 includes a heating wire 61. The heating wire 61 is arranged on the outer surface of the inner shell 4 and is arranged in the limiting hole 4310 on the support frame 431. Both ends of the heating wire 61 are connected with a single-core terminal 62. In actual use, the single-core terminal 62 is connected to the power supply to ensure the normal operation of the heating wire 61, heat the inner shell 4, and then transfer the heat to the medium inside the target pipeline 3 through the heated inner shell 4, improving the uniformity of the temperature rise inside the target pipeline 3.

[0030] As Figure 1 、 Figure 6 and Figure 10 shown, the regulation component 8 includes a dehumidifier 81, a fan 82 and a three-way valve 83. A first branch pipeline 84 is connected to the second ventilation port 17 at the bottom of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2. A second branch pipeline 86 is connected to the first ventilation port 16 at the top of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2. The first branch pipeline 84 is connected to a main pipeline 85. The dehumidifier 81, the fan 82 and the three-way valve 83 are arranged on the main pipeline 85. The three-way valve 83 includes a set of inlets and two sets of outlets. The main pipeline 85 is connected to the inlet and one set of outlets of the three-way valve 83. The other set of outlets of the three-way valve 83 is used for emptying. Solenoid valves 87 are arranged on both the first branch pipeline 84 and the second branch pipeline 86.

[0031] In actual operation, when the humidity inside the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 is high, a dehumidification operation is performed. Specifically, the dehumidifier 81 and the blower 82 are started, the outlet of the three-way valve 83 connected to the main pipeline 85 is opened, the outlet for evacuation on the three-way valve 83 is closed, and the solenoid valves 87 on the first branch pipeline 84 and the second branch pipeline 86 are opened. The blower 82 extracts the high-humidity gas inside the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. After the high-humidity gas is dehumidified by the dehumidifier 81, it re-enters the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, promoting the replacement of the high-humidity gas and the dry gas inside the first housing 1 until the humidity inside the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 decreases and drops below the humidity set value; when the vacuum degree inside the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 is high, a vacuum pumping operation is performed. Specifically, the blower 82 is started, the outlet of the three-way valve 83 connected to the first ventilation port 16 is closed, the outlet for evacuation on the three-way valve 83 is opened, and the solenoid valves 87 on the first branch pipeline 84 and the second branch pipeline 86 are closed. The inside of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 is evacuated until the vacuum degree inside the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 is lower than the vacuum degree set value. The specific humidity set value and vacuum degree set value are set manually according to the application environment, so as to ensure that the enclosed space formed after the connection of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 is in a vacuum state, guarantee the heat preservation and heat insulation effect of the heat preservation device, and also avoid the high-humidity environment inside the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, resulting in condensation water reducing the heat preservation and heat insulation performance of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, and the water vapor in the high-humidity environment reacting with the leaked transmission medium, resulting in potential safety hazards.

[0032] Working method of the electric heating integrated heat preservation device: Step 1: Preheat the heat preservation device before transmission. The single-core terminal 62 is connected to the power supply, and the inner shell 4 is heated by the heating wire 61, and then the target pipeline 3 and the medium inside the target pipeline 3 are heated through the inner shell 4; Step 2: The buffer assembly 43 absorbs the stress generated during the transmission of the medium and makes an adaptive position adjustment on the basis of ensuring sealing; Step 3: During the transmission of the medium, the monitoring module obtains the data detected by the monitoring component 7, performs a safety monitoring judgment, and controls the heating component 6 and the regulation component 8 to make adjustments according to the judgment result; Specifically, the monitoring module obtains the temperatures of the inner shell 4 after heating corresponding to the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 respectively, the temperature, humidity, and vacuum degree inside the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, whether there is liquid sodium leakage inside the inner heat preservation layer 42, and calculates the temperature difference between the temperatures inside the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 and the corresponding inner shell 4. After the inner shell 4 is heated by the heating component 6, the temperatures of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are respectively denoted as t 1 and t 2 , and the temperature differences between the first housing 1, the second housing 2 and the inner shell 4 inside them are respectively denoted as ∆t1 and ∆t 2 , the humidity inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 is RH 1 and RH 2 , the vacuum degrees inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are Pa 1 and Pa 2 .

[0033] It should be noted that for the convenience of subsequent description, t 1 and t 2 are collectively referred to as t, and ∆t 1 and ∆t 2 are collectively referred to as ∆t, RH 1 and RH 2 are collectively referred to as RH, and Pa 1 and Pa 2 are collectively referred to as Pa; In the monitoring module, there are set temperature thresholds, temperature difference thresholds, humidity thresholds, and vacuum degree thresholds that meet the requirements for the medium transmission regulation in the target pipeline 3. Since the inner shell 4 is in contact with the target pipeline 3, the temperature threshold that meets the medium transmission in the target pipeline 3 is the temperature threshold that the inner shell 4 needs to meet. The temperature threshold is denoted as T, and T is the allowable minimum temperature. The temperature threshold T is used to determine whether the heating component 6 needs to heat the inner shell 4; the temperature difference threshold is denoted as ∆T, and ∆T is the allowable maximum temperature difference. The temperature difference threshold ∆T is used to determine whether there is a situation of incomplete sealing and heat dissipation inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2; the humidity threshold is denoted as RH max , RH max is the maximum humidity during the operation of the heat preservation device inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2. The humidity threshold RH max is used to determine whether there is incomplete sealing in the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 itself, resulting in the entry of water vapor when the heat preservation device stops; the vacuum degree threshold is denoted as Pa max , and the vacuum degree threshold is that F is the allowable maximum vacuum degree during the operation of the heat preservation device. The vacuum degree threshold is used to determine whether there is incomplete sealing in the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 itself.

[0034] When it is detected that there is a leakage of liquid sodium, the monitoring module gives an alarm prompt. When no leakage of liquid sodium is detected, subsequent detections continue; Situation ①: When t≥T and ∆t<∆T, it means that the temperature of the inner shell 4 meets the requirements for the medium transmission in the target pipeline 3, and there is no situation of incomplete sealing inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2. The heat preservation device can provide a good heat preservation effect, and the heating component 6 stops heating the inner shell 4; Case ②: When t≥T and ∆t≥∆T, the temperature of the inner shell 4 meets the requirements for the medium transmission in the target pipeline 3, but there are some parts in the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 that are not completely sealed. As a result, the heat generated during the heating by the heating component 6 is dissipated between the inner shell 4 and the inner thermal insulation layer 42, reducing the insulation effect. The monitoring module gives an alarm prompt, and the maintenance personnel carry out maintenance. Case ③: When t<T, the temperature of the inner shell 4 does not meet the requirements for the medium transmission in the target pipeline 3. The heating component 6 heats the inner shell 4. If it still cannot reach t≥T after long-term heating, an alarm prompt is given. The specific heating time is set manually.

[0035] Based on the above detections, if RH≤RH max , Pa≤Pa max , it means that the humidity and vacuum degree inside the insulation device are normal, and the insulation device is normal, capable of providing the maximum insulation effect. If RH>RH max , a dehumidification operation is carried out to reduce the insulation performance degradation caused by the high humidity inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, which generates condensate water, and the reaction between the water vapor in the high-humidity environment and the leaked transmission medium, resulting in potential safety hazards. At the same time, it is also necessary to reduce the convective heat dissipation generated during gas replacement. Therefore, a dehumidification operation time is set in the monitoring module. During the dehumidification operation time, when the inside of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 reaches RH≤RH max , it means that the self-sealing performance of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 is good. If after reaching the dehumidification operation time, the inside of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 is still RH>RH max , it means that the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are not completely self-sealed, and the monitoring module gives an alarm prompt.

[0036] If Pa>Pa max , a vacuum pumping operation is carried out to avoid the low vacuum degree inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, or even the vacuum degree of the environment, approaching the ambient pressure, resulting in macroscopic gas flow inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, generating convective heat dissipation and reducing the thermal insulation performance of the insulation device. At the same time, it is also necessary to reduce the convective heat dissipation generated during gas replacement when pumping to vacuum. Therefore, a vacuum pumping operation time is set in the monitoring module. During the vacuum pumping operation time, when the inside of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 reaches Pa≤Pa max , it means that the self-sealing performance of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 is good. If after reaching the dehumidification operation time, the inside of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 is still Pa>Pa max , it means that the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are not completely self-sealed, and the monitoring module gives an alarm prompt.

[0037] It should be noted that the heating component 6 and the regulation component 8 can operate simultaneously, which is conducive to ensuring the heat preservation effect of the heat preservation device; when the RH inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 is greater than RH max , Pa is greater than Pa max When both exist at the same time, in order to further reduce the convective heat dissipation generated by the dehumidification operation and the vacuum pumping operation, the vacuum pumping operation is carried out after half of the dehumidification operation time of the dehumidification operation; the "magnitude" of the vacuum degree value and the "height" of the vacuum degree are in an inverse relationship.

[0038] By the above steps, by setting the first outer shell 1, the second outer shell 2, the inner shell 4, the buffer component 43, the heating component 6, and the monitoring component 7, it is possible to absorb the stress fluctuations generated during the medium transmission process, and make an adaptive position adjustment based on the stress fluctuation situation without affecting the direct sealing performance between the inner shell 4 and the inner heat preservation layer 42. It is also possible to detect the temperature and humidity, vacuum degree inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 before, during, and after the medium transmission, and whether there is sodium leakage between the inner heat preservation layer 42 and the inner shell 4, thereby improving the safety during the operation of the heat preservation device.
