Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear engineering experiments, and particularly relates to an experimental device and an experimental method for a Brayton cycle reactor system. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of society, the demand for energy in various industries is becoming more and more diversified, and many new energy systems have begun to attract people's attention. The Brayton cycle has the advantages of compact equipment layout, high cycle thermal efficiency, and small volume of rotating machinery. The nuclear power system formed by its combination with a reactor has a large energy density, can continuously produce energy for a long time, and has high economy, and has good application prospects in the fields of island power, power and heating.

[0003] The Brayton cycle reactor system mainly includes a reactor, a turbine, a recuperator, a compressor, a cooler, and a generator. Compared with general reactor systems, due to the small system volume and strong coupling between equipment in the Brayton cycle system, there are significant differences in its operating characteristics and control characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a detailed study on the operating characteristics and control characteristics of the Brayton cycle reactor system. Experimental research is an important part of studying the operating characteristics of the reactor Brayton cycle system. Existing experimental research devices have the following problems: due to the radioactivity of the reactor, most experimental research devices still use electric heat sources, fossil heat sources, and solar heat sources, and cannot reflect the coupling effects of the temperature change characteristics and power change characteristics of the reactor on the experimental loop; since the Brayton cycle reactor system needs to operate in a high-temperature environment, this makes the cost of the turbine high and the control of the turbine speed difficult, which is not conducive to carrying out multi-condition, multi-control, and long-term experimental research; currently, most experimental research devices use compressors that are not resistant to high temperatures. The compressor cools the gas while compressing it, which causes a deviation between the power and temperature of the compressor and the actual situation.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose an experimental device and an experimental method for a Brayton cycle reactor system to solve the problems existing in the design of these experimental research devices for Brayton cycle reactor systems, and to provide experimental device design technologies and methods for related experimental research.

It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

An experimental device of a Brayton cycle reactor system described in the present application includes a reactor simulation device, a turbine simulation device, a non-cooled compressor simulation device, a regenerator 14, a cooler 15 and a data measurement system. The reactor simulation device, the turbine simulation device and the regenerator 14 are connected in series in sequence.

[0043] The non-cooled compressor simulation device includes a compressor 9, a third mass flowmeter 13, and a second electric heater 10 connected in sequence. A cooling channel is provided in the compressor 9. A second electric control valve 11 is provided at the inlet of the cooling channel, and a second mass flowmeter 12 is provided at the outlet. The second electric heater 10 is equipped with a power regulator 2;

[0044] The data measurement system includes a first thermocouple T1, a second thermocouple T2, a first pressure transmitter P1, and a second pressure transmitter P2 arranged at the inlet and outlet of the reactor simulation device, a fourth thermocouple T4, a fifth thermocouple T5, a third pressure transmitter P3, and a fourth pressure transmitter P4 arranged at the inlet and outlet of the turbine simulation device, a sixth thermocouple T6, a seventh thermocouple T7, a fifth pressure transmitter P5, and a sixth pressure transmitter P6 arranged at the inlet and outlet of the non-cooled compressor simulation device, and a third thermocouple T3, an eighth thermocouple T8, and a ninth thermocouple T9 arranged at the inlet and outlet of the cooling channel of the first electric heater 1 and the compressor 9.

[0045] In the present invention, the inlet and outlet temperatures of the reactor simulation device and the surface temperature of the heating rod are measured by the first thermocouple T1, the second thermocouple T2, the third thermocouple T3, the first pressure transmitter P1, and the second pressure transmitter P2. The measured real-time data information is sequentially transmitted to the data calculation and analysis system through a cable. The reactor power is calculated by a program developed based on the point reactor model and the reactivity-temperature negative feedback model, and then fed back to the numerical control system to regulate the power of the electric heater by using the power regulator 2, so as to correspond the power characteristics of the electric heater to the power characteristics of the actual reactor, and realize the simulation of the reactor device.

[0046] The real-time data information of the fourth thermocouple T4, the fifth thermocouple T5, the third pressure transmitter P3, the fourth pressure transmitter P4, the first mass flowmeter 5, the electric pressure reducing valve 6 and the first electric control valve 7 of the present invention is transmitted to the numerical control system and the data calculation and analysis system through cables. The data calculation and analysis system inputs these data into a program developed based on the turbine power calculation model, the rotor speed calculation model, the turbine characteristic model, and the pressure reducing valve resistance characteristic model. First, according to the inlet temperature and pressure and the outlet temperature and pressure of the working medium of the turbine simulation device, the current power of the turbine simulation device is calculated through the turbine power calculation model. Then, according to the current power of the turbine simulation device and the set load, the simulated speed of the turbine simulation device is calculated through the rotor speed calculation model. Then, according to the mass flow rate of the working medium and the simulated speed of the turbine simulation device, the target expansion ratio and the target isentropic efficiency of the turbine simulation device are calculated through the turbine characteristic model. According to the target expansion ratio, the mass flow rate of the working medium, and the inlet pressure of the working medium of the turbine simulation device, the target opening degree of the electric pressure reducing valve 6 is calculated through the pressure reducing valve resistance characteristic model. Finally, the valve opening degree of the electric pressure reducing valve 6 is regulated. According to the target expansion ratio, the target isentropic efficiency, the mass flow rate of the working medium, the inlet temperature, and the inlet pressure of the turbine simulation device, the target power of the turbine simulation device is calculated. According to the difference between the target power and the current power of the turbine simulation device, the target opening degree of the first electric control valve 7 is calculated. The numerical control system and the power distribution system realize the opening degree control and power supply of the electric pressure reducing valve 6 and the first electric control valve 7 through PLC control and cables, so as to realize the simulation of the turbine device.

The data calculation and analysis system uses a program developed based on the energy conservation equation to calculate the heat power carried away by the cooling water in the compressor 9 and the total power acting on the working medium by the non-cooled compressor simulation device. The heat power carried away by the cooling water in the compressor 9 is used as the target power of the second electric heater 10 and transmitted to the numerical control system and the power distribution system through cables. Through cables and PLC control, the power control and power supply of the power regulator 2 are realized, so that the heating power of the second electric heater 10 is equal to the heat power carried away by the cooling water in the compressor 9, eliminating the power and temperature deviation of the compressor caused by cooling. At this time, the total power acting on the working medium is the actual compression power of the compressor 9, realizing the simulation of the non-cooled compressor device. At the same time, the numerical control system and the power distribution system can also control the opening degree of the second electric control valve 11, thereby regulating the heat power carried away by the cooling water in the compressor 9 to ensure that the compressor 9 is in a good temperature range. The rotation speed of the compressor 9 is controlled by the same method to change the pressure ratio and compression power. The model and the program are both prior arts.
