[0091] Optionally, the cooling module includes a supercritical cooling unit, a microchannel fluid distribution unit, an intelligent cooling control unit, and a cooling performance monitoring unit. The supercritical cooling unit uses supercritical fluid as the cooling medium and cools the cooling areas in the logging dual-chamber furnace to achieve temperature gradient control in different areas. The microchannel fluid distribution unit lays a high-density microchannel cooling pipe network inside the logging dual-chamber furnace, and achieves precise cooling of local areas by allowing supercritical fluid at different pressures to flow in the microchannels. The cooling performance monitoring unit monitors the cooling data of the cooling fluid, and the intelligent cooling control unit adjusts the supercritical fluid flow rate in different areas according to the current cooling data.

The temperature sensor detects the temperature of the cooling area in real time, the pressure sensor measures the pressure change of the cooling fluid, and the flow meter detects the flow rate of the supercritical fluid.
[0098] In this embodiment, the supercritical fluid is set to H2O (water).
[0099] This embodiment employs supercritical water cooling (H2O) technology to achieve efficient and precise cooling of the logging dual-chamber furnace. The supercritical cooling unit includes a supercritical fluid supply component, a cooling distribution component, and a cooling performance detection component. These three components work together to ensure cooling uniformity, temperature control stability, and efficient energy consumption management.
[0100] First, the supercritical fluid supply component provides the supercritical water-cooling medium. A high-pressure tank stores supercritical water (H2O), a booster pump maintains a stable flow of supercritical water at a set pressure, and a preheater heats the fluid to a supercritical state, ensuring the cooling process remains within optimal operating parameters. Subsequently, the cooling distribution component delivers the supercritical water to different cooling zones of the logging dual-chamber furnace. A microchannel cooling network precisely distributes the supercritical water flow, and high-pressure regulating valves control the flow rate and pressure in different zones to meet varying heat load requirements within the furnace chamber. In high-heat zones, embedded cooling channels enhance heat exchange between the supercritical water and high-temperature surfaces, improving cooling efficiency. In temperature transition zones, surface-mounted cooling pipes optimize the cooling gradient, ensuring a uniform temperature field.
[0101] Throughout the cooling process, the cooling efficiency detection component monitors the supercritical water cooling status in real time. Temperature sensors collect the temperature of the cooling zone, pressure sensors monitor the pressure changes of the supercritical water fluid, and flow meters accurately detect the flow rate of the supercritical water, ensuring that the cooling operates under optimal conditions. The cooling data is analyzed by the intelligent cooling control unit, which dynamically adjusts the supercritical water flow rate and distribution strategy according to changes in the furnace cavity temperature to achieve precise cooling control.
[0102] Ultimately, through precise liquid supply, intelligent distribution, and real-time monitoring, this supercritical water cooling system enables the logging dual-chamber furnace to achieve higher temperature uniformity, lower energy consumption, and better cooling stability, ensuring the high efficiency and reliability of the furnace heat treatment process.
[0103] The cooling performance monitoring unit collects data on flow rate, pressure, temperature, and heat exchange efficiency. The intelligent cooling control unit calculates the cooling requirements of each zone and dynamically adjusts the fluid pressure and flow rate.
[0104] The intelligent cooling control unit acquires the current cooling data and calculates the cooling power Q according to the following formula. cooling :
[0105] ;
[0106] In the formula, Q cooling Where is the cooling power (W), m is the supercritical fluid mass flow rate (kg / s), and C is the temperature. p ΔT is the specific heat capacity of the supercritical fluid (J / kg·K), and ΔT is the temperature drop of the cooling fluid (K).
[0107] In addition, the intelligent cooling control unit acquires the current cooling data and calculates the local flow velocity v according to the following formula. cool,i :
[0108] ;
[0109] In the formula, v base The reference flow rate is T, α is the temperature deviation correction factor, and T is the reference flow rate. i -T target Temperature deviation;
[0110] Among them, when the temperature in a certain area is higher than the target value T target The intelligent cooling control unit increases the flow rate of the supercritical fluid in that area. When the temperature in a certain area falls below the target value, the flow rate of the supercritical fluid is reduced to decrease the cooling effect.
[0111] In this embodiment, the temperature deviation correction coefficient is selected based on the actual usage scenario and substituted into the above formula, specifically:
[0112] 1) In the application scenarios of heat treatment for precision logging tools (to maintain uniform temperature, avoid excessive local temperature changes, and reduce the impact of thermal stress), then α=0.02;
[0113] 2) In the scenario of metal heat treatment (high temperature alloy) (controlling the cooling rate to avoid cracks in the metal due to excessive temperature difference, but still needing to moderately accelerate the cooling rate), then α=0.1;
[0114] 3) In scenarios involving rapid production (cycle-based cooling) (where cooling to the target temperature is required in a short time to improve production efficiency), α = 0.4;
[0115] In summary, it is necessary to select an appropriate temperature deviation correction factor α based on the specific application scenario.
[0116] By enhancing the cooperation between the thermal field control module and the cooling module, the temperature distribution inside the furnace cavity becomes more uniform, and the temperature gradient is controlled to ensure that the entire system has higher temperature stability, reduce the impact of thermal stress, and improve the heat treatment quality of logging tools.

The heating power control unit compares the analysis results with the set monitoring thresholds. If the set monitoring thresholds are exceeded, the power output of each heating unit is calculated, and the calculation results are transmitted to the intelligent energy efficiency calculation unit. The long-term cooling flow rate optimization unit calculates the cooling flow rate of different cooling zones based on historical data and the long-term optimization results of the energy consumption assessment and prediction unit, and transmits the optimized cooling flow rate to the intelligent energy efficiency calculation unit and the heating power control unit to collaboratively optimize temperature control. The intelligent energy efficiency calculation unit receives the power output of the heating power control unit and the cooling flow rate of the long-term cooling flow rate optimization unit, calculates the real-time energy efficiency ratio of the well logging dual-chamber furnace, and transmits the real-time energy efficiency ratio to the energy consumption assessment and prediction unit. The energy consumption assessment and prediction unit dynamically adjusts the long-term control strategy of heating power and cooling gradient based on historical data, real-time energy efficiency ratio, and long-term cooling optimization strategy.
