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 undertakes the key tasks of preventing sodium solidification (freezing point ≈ 97.8°C), maintaining flow stability, and avoiding thermal stress damage in high-temperature industries and sodium-cooled reactors.

[0003] However, the 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 become loose, and millimeter-sized gaps form a heat bridge effect, resulting in a 3 - 5-fold increase in the 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 service, the infiltration of moisture will react with the residual sodium to generate hydrogen and strong alkali, leading to explosion and corrosion. Hygroscopic materials, such as silicate, are prone to caking and pulverization in a humid environment. Secondly, the disassembly and maintenance of the traditional thermal insulation layer take too long, unable to meet the requirements of the safety window, thus resulting in prominent safety hazards and high maintenance costs for liquid sodium pipelines.

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

[0011] According to the above technical solution, a high-temperature heat-insulating cloth is arranged between the first end face of the second outer shell and the first outer shell. The structure of the second outer shell is the same as that of the first outer shell, but the length of the second outer shell is greater than the length of the first outer shell;

[0012] The lengths of the inner shell, the middle heat preservation layer, and the first outer shell inside the first outer shell are arranged in decreasing order in sequence;

[0041] 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 efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1-10 , the present invention provides a technical solution: an electric heating integrated insulation 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 assembly 7. The inner shell 4 is arranged inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2. Every two groups of inner shells 4 in the radial direction of the target pipeline 3 are symmetrically arranged outside the target pipeline 3. The two groups of inner shells 4 in the axial direction of the target pipeline 3 respectively correspond to the positions of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2. The first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are connected. The monitoring assembly 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 assembly 7 is used to monitor the temperature after heating the inner shell 4, the temperature, humidity, vacuum degree inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, and whether there is sodium leakage.

[0043] Specifically, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, two sets of connecting pieces 5 are arranged around the connection between the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2. The two sets of connecting pieces 5 are symmetrically arranged, and the ends of the two sets of connecting pieces 5 are connected by fasteners. Sealing gaskets are arranged on the sides of the connecting pieces 5 close to the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2. The connecting pieces 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 sets of connecting pieces 5 are used to connect the two sets of first outer shells 1 and the two sets of second outer shells 2 into a whole, ensuring the tightness of the connection between the two sets of first outer shells 1 and the two sets 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 the related components inside.

[0044] Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown in the figure, first end faces 11 are arranged at both ends of the first outer shell 1. The centers of the first end faces 11 are arranged in a stepped manner. First air exchange holes 12 are opened on the first end faces 11. A first support surface 13 is fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two sets of first outer shells 1. 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. A first air exchange port 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the first outer shell 1 at the upper position. A second air exchange port 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first outer shell 1 at the lower position. A middle heat preservation layer 18 is fixedly connected to the center of the first end face 11. The middle heat preservation layer 18 is a hollow structure, and heat preservation materials are filled inside the middle heat preservation layer 18. The radial cross-section of the middle heat preservation layer 18 is a sector;

[0045] Specifically, as Figures 4-6 shown in the figure, a high-temperature heat-insulating 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 the length of the first outer shell 1. The lengths of the inner shell, the middle heat preservation layer and the first outer shell inside the first outer shell are arranged in decreasing order; the lengths of the inner shell, the middle heat preservation layer and the second outer shell inside the second outer shell are arranged in increasing order; in the axial direction of the target pipeline, the inner shells and the middle heat preservation layers of two adjacent groups on the same side are continuously connected through. In the radial direction of the target pipeline, the inner shells and the middle heat preservation layers inside the first outer shell and the inner shells and the middle heat preservation layers inside the second outer shell form a stepped connection with equal length and staggered interlocking.

[0046] It should be noted that the high-temperature heat-insulating cloth 21 can be made of fiberglass cloth.

[0047] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown in the figure, first sliding grooves 41 are arranged at both ends of the inner shell 4. Inner heat preservation layers 42 are slidably connected in the first sliding grooves 41. The first sliding grooves 41 are attached to the target pipeline 3. The inner heat preservation layers 42 are fixed at the center of the sector of the middle heat preservation layer 18;

[0048] 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 space 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.

[0049] 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 better, 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, the buffer components 43 can buffer the periodic stress generated by pressure fluctuations, fluid impacts or mechanical vibrations during the medium transportation of the target pipeline 3, so that the buffer components 43 can reduce the influence of stress on the sealing performance.

[0050] 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.

[0051] 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 on the outer wall of the inner shell 4. A number of second chutes 432 and limit holes 4310 are provided on the support frame 431. The second inner support 433 is fixedly connected inside the inner thermal insulation layer 42. A third chute 434 is provided 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;

[0052] 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.

[0053] During 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. Then, due to the inner thermal insulation layer 42 sliding 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. Since the stress is 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 action of 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 loss.

[0054] Specifically, as Figure 2 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the monitoring component 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. 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 component 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. The sodium leakage insulator 74 is used to detect whether there is liquid sodium leakage, thereby improving the safety of the heat preservation device;

[0055] 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.

[0056] 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 to make adjustments according to the judgment results. The monitoring module is also signal-connected to the heating component 6 and the regulation component 8.

[0057] 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 from the heated inner shell 4 to the medium inside the target pipeline 3 to improve the uniformity of the temperature rise inside the target pipeline 3.

[0058] As Figure 1 、 Figure 6 and Figure 10 shown, the regulation component 8 includes a dehumidifier 81, a blower 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 blower 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 evacuation. Solenoid valves 87 are arranged on both the first branch pipeline 84 and the second branch pipeline 86.

[0059] During actual operation, when the humidity inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 is high, a dehumidification operation is carried out. 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 outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2. After being dehumidified by the dehumidifier 81, the high-humidity gas re-enters the inside of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, promoting the replacement of the high-humidity gas and the dry gas inside the first outer shell 1 until the humidity inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 decreases and drops below the humidity set value; when the vacuum degree inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 is high, a vacuum pumping operation is carried out. 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 outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 is evacuated until the vacuum degree inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 is lower than the vacuum set value. The specific humidity set value and vacuum 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 outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 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 outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, resulting in the generation of condensed water to reduce the heat preservation and heat insulation performance of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, and the reaction of the water vapor in the high-humidity environment with the leaked transmission medium, resulting in potential safety hazards.

[0060] Working method of the electric heating integrated heat preservation device:

[0061] 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;

[0062] 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;

[0063] Step 3: During the transmission of the medium, the monitoring module obtains the data detected by the monitoring component 7, conducts a safety monitoring judgment, and controls the heating component 6 and the regulation component 8 to make adjustments according to the judgment result;

[0064] Specifically, the monitoring module obtains the temperatures of the inner shells 4 after heating, which correspond to the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 respectively, the temperatures, humidity, and vacuum degrees inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, whether there is liquid sodium leakage inside the inner thermal insulation layer 42, and calculates the temperature differences between the temperatures inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 and the temperatures of the corresponding inner shells 4. After the inner shell 4 is heated by the heating component 6, the temperatures of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are respectively denoted as t1 and t2, the temperature differences between the first outer shell 1, the second outer shell 2 and the inner shell 4 inside them are respectively denoted as ∆t1 and ∆t2, the humidity inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are respectively RH1 and RH2, and the vacuum degrees inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are respectively Pa1 and Pa2.

[0065] It should be noted that for the convenience of subsequent description, t1 and t2 are collectively referred to as t, ∆t1 and ∆t2 are collectively referred to as ∆t, RH1 and RH2 are collectively referred to as RH, and Pa1 and Pa2 are collectively referred to as Pa;

[0066] The monitoring module is set with temperature thresholds, temperature difference thresholds, humidity thresholds, and vacuum degree thresholds that meet the requirements for regulating the medium transmission 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 lowest allowable 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 maximum allowable 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 inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 during the operation of the thermal insulation device. The humidity threshold RH max is used to determine whether the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 themselves are not sealed completely, resulting in the entry of water vapor when the thermal insulation device stops; the vacuum degree threshold is denoted as Pa max , and the vacuum degree threshold is that F is the maximum allowable vacuum degree during the operation of the thermal insulation device. The vacuum degree threshold is used to determine whether the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 themselves are not sealed completely.

[0067] When it is detected that there is liquid sodium leakage, the monitoring module gives an alarm prompt. When no liquid sodium leakage is detected, the subsequent detection continues;

[0068] Situation ①: When t≥T and ∆t<∆T, it means that the temperature of the inner shell 4 meets the requirements for 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 thermal insulation device can provide good thermal insulation effect, and the heating component 6 stops heating the inner shell 4;

[0069] Situation 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 of the heating component 6 is dissipated between the inner shell 4 and the inner thermal insulation layer 42, reducing the heat preservation effect. The monitoring module gives an alarm prompt, and the maintenance personnel carry out maintenance;

[0070] Situation 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, and the specific heating time is set manually.

[0071] Based on the above detections, if RH≤RH max , Pa≤Pa max , the humidity and vacuum degree inside the heat preservation device are normal, the heat preservation device is normal, and it can provide the maximum heat preservation effect;

[0072] If RH>RH max , a dehumidification operation is carried out to reduce the condensation water generated due to the high humidity inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, which reduces the heat insulation performance, and the reaction between the water vapor in the high humidity environment and the leaked transmission medium, which poses a safety hazard. 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 the inside of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 is still RH>RH max when the dehumidification operation time is reached, it means that the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are not completely sealed by themselves, and the monitoring module gives an alarm prompt.

[0073] If Pa>Pa max , a vacuum pumping operation is carried out to avoid a low vacuum degree inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, or even the vacuum degree of the environment, which is close to the ambient air pressure, and there is macroscopic gas flow inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2, generating convective heat dissipation and reducing the heat insulation performance of the heat preservation 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 the inside of the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 is still Pa>Pa max when the vacuum pumping operation time is reached, it means that the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 are not completely sealed by themselves, and the monitoring module gives an alarm prompt.

[0074] 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 and the Pa is greater than Pa max When both exist, 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 "size" of the vacuum degree value and the "height" of the vacuum degree are in an inverse relationship.

[0075] Through 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 based on the stress fluctuation situation, make an adaptive position adjustment without affecting the direct sealing performance between the inner shell 4 and the inner heat preservation layer 42. It can also detect the temperature, humidity, and vacuum degree inside the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2 before, during, and after the medium transmission, as well as whether there is sodium leakage between the inner heat preservation layer 42 and the inner shell 4, improving the safety during the operation of the heat preservation device.
