Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nuclear engineering experimental technology, and in particular relates to an experimental apparatus and method for a Brayton cycle reactor system. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of society, the energy demands of various industries are becoming increasingly diversified, and many new energy systems are beginning to attract attention. The Brayton cycle has advantages such as compact equipment layout, high cycle thermal efficiency, and small rotating machinery size. When combined with a reactor, it forms a nuclear power system with high energy density, long-term continuous production capacity, and high economic efficiency, showing promising application prospects in island power, energy, and heating sectors.
[0003] The Brayton cycle reactor system mainly consists of a reactor, turbine, regenerator, compressor, cooler, and generator. Compared to general reactor systems, the Brayton cycle system, due to its smaller size and stronger coupling between equipment, exhibits significantly different operating and control characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a detailed study of the operating and control characteristics of the Brayton cycle reactor system. Experimental research is a crucial step in studying the operating characteristics of the Brayton cycle reactor. Existing experimental research facilities suffer from the following problems: Due to the radioactivity of the reactor, most experimental research facilities still use electric, fossil, and solar heat sources, failing to reflect the coupling effect of the reactor's temperature and power variation characteristics on the experimental loop; because the Brayton cycle reactor needs to operate in a high-temperature environment, the turbine is expensive and its speed control is difficult, hindering multi-condition, multi-control, and long-term experimental research; currently, most experimental research facilities use compressors that are not heat-resistant, and the compressor cools the gas while compressing it, causing deviations between the compressor's power and temperature and actual values.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to address the challenges in designing experimental research devices for these Brayton cycle reactor systems, and to propose an experimental device and method for Brayton cycle reactor systems, providing experimental device design techniques and methods for related experimental research. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, to address the shortcomings of existing experimental setups—namely, their inability to demonstrate the coupling effect of reactor temperature feedback and power variation characteristics on the experimental loop; the high cost and difficulty in controlling turbine speed, which hinders multi-condition, multi-control, and long-term experimental research; and the discrepancies between the power and temperature of the compressor in existing experimental setups and actual values—this paper proposes an experimental setup and method for a Brayton cycle reactor system to facilitate related experimental research.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an experimental device for a Brayton cycle reactor system, comprising a reactor simulation device, a turbine simulation device, an uncooled compressor simulation device, a regenerator, a cooler, and a data measurement system, wherein the reactor simulation device, the turbine simulation device, and the regenerator are connected in series, and the regenerator, the cooler, and the uncooled compressor simulation device are connected in series.

[0039] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, and the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.
[0040] I. Detailed Implementation Method 1, see [link / reference] Figure 1-4 This embodiment describes an experimental apparatus for a Brayton cycle reactor system, comprising a reactor simulation device, a turbine simulation device, an uncooled 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, and the regenerator 14, the cooler 15, and the uncooled compressor simulation device are connected in series.
[0041] The reactor simulation device includes a first electric heater 1 and a power regulator 2, wherein the first electric heater 1 is equipped with the power regulator 2;
[0042] The turbine simulation device includes a first mass flow meter 5, an electric pressure reducing valve 6, and a printed circuit board type cooler 8 connected in sequence. The printed circuit board type cooler 8 is provided with a first electric regulating valve 7 at the cooling water inlet.
[0043] The uncooled compressor simulation device includes a compressor 9, a third mass flow meter 13, and a second electric heater 10 connected in sequence. The compressor 9 is provided with a cooling channel. A second electric regulating valve 11 is provided at the inlet of the cooling channel and a second mass flow meter 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 simulator; 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 simulator; 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 uncooled compressor simulator; and a third thermocouple T3, an eighth thermocouple T8 and a ninth thermocouple T9 arranged at the inlet and outlet of the cooling channel between the first electric heater 1 and the compressor 9.
[0045] This invention measures the inlet and outlet temperatures and the surface temperature of the heating rods of a reactor simulation device using a first thermocouple T1, a second thermocouple T2, a third thermocouple T3, a first pressure transmitter P1, and a second pressure transmitter P2. The measured real-time data is then transmitted sequentially to a data calculation and analysis system via cables. The reactor power is calculated using a program developed based on a point-reactor model and a reactivity-temperature negative feedback model. This calculation is then fed back to the numerical control system, where a power regulator 2 is used to adjust the power of the electric heater. This allows the power characteristics of the electric heater to correspond to the power characteristics of the actual reactor, thus simulating 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 flow meter 5, the electric pressure reducing valve 6, and the first electric regulating valve 7 of this invention are transmitted to the numerical control system and the data calculation and analysis system via 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, the current power of the turbine simulator is calculated using the turbine power calculation model based on the inlet and outlet temperatures and pressures of the working fluid. Then, the simulated rotational speed of the turbine simulator is calculated using the rotor speed calculation model based on the current power and the set load. Next, the target expansion ratio and target isentropic efficiency of the turbine simulator are calculated using the turbine characteristic model based on the working fluid mass flow rate and simulated rotational speed. Finally, the target opening degree of the electric pressure reducing valve 6 is calculated using the pressure reducing valve resistance characteristic model based on the target expansion ratio, working fluid mass flow rate, and working fluid inlet pressure. The valve opening degree of the electric pressure reducing valve 6 is then adjusted. The target power of the turbine simulator is calculated based on the target expansion ratio, target isentropic efficiency, working fluid mass flow rate, inlet temperature, and inlet pressure. The target opening degree of the first electric regulating valve 7 is calculated based on the difference between the target power and the current power. The CNC system and power distribution system control the opening degree of the electric pressure reducing valve 6 and the first electric regulating valve 7 and supply power through PLC control and cables, thus simulating the turbine simulator.
[0047] In this invention, the real-time data information of the sixth thermocouple T6, the seventh thermocouple T7, the eighth thermocouple T8, the ninth thermocouple T9, the fifth pressure transmitter P5, the sixth pressure transmitter P6, the second mass flow meter 12, the third mass flow meter 13, the second electric regulating valve 11, the power regulator 2, and the compressor 9 are transmitted to the data calculation and analysis system via cable. 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 fluid by the uncooled 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 via cable. The power regulator 2 is controlled and powered by the cable and PLC, 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 compressor power and temperature deviation caused by cooling. At this time, the total power acting on the working fluid is the actual compression power of the compressor 9, realizing the simulation of the uncooled compressor device. Simultaneously, the CNC system and power distribution system can control the opening degree of the second electric regulating valve 11, thereby regulating the heat power carried away by the cooling water in the compressor 9 to ensure that the compressor 9 is within a good temperature range. The compressor speed is controlled using the same method to change the boost ratio and compression power. The model and program described are existing technologies.
[0048] In this application, the first electric heater 1 and the second electric heater 10 are both equipped with a power regulator 2. Sharing a single device reduces costs, saves maintenance expenses, optimizes scheduling, reduces unnecessary equipment accumulation in the laboratory, frees up more space for other facilities, and improves the space utilization rate of the laboratory.
[0049] The power regulator 2 described in this application is a three-phase thyristor power regulator. Three-phase thyristor power regulators are compact and lightweight. Furthermore, they can accurately adjust the output power according to actual needs, avoiding unnecessary energy waste and improving the overall efficiency of the system.
[0050] In this application, both the first electric heater 1 and the second electric heater 10 are pressure vessel type electric heaters. The first electric heater 1 can withstand a pressure of 4 MPa and a temperature tolerance of 600℃; the second electric heater 10 can withstand a pressure of 4 MPa and a temperature tolerance of 250℃. Pressure vessel type electric heaters are safe and reliable, and have efficient heat transfer. Furthermore, pressure vessel type electric heaters have a fast response speed and can quickly adjust the output power according to actual needs to achieve precise temperature control.
[0051] The compressor 9 described in this application is a diaphragm compressor, which allows for speed regulation and pressure boosting from 2MPa to 4MPa. The diaphragm compressor is highly efficient and energy-saving, easy to maintain, compact in size, and convenient to install. It possesses stable output performance, maintaining constant pressure and flow output even under conditions of significant load fluctuations.
[0052] The experimental setup of this application also includes a supporting power distribution system, a numerical control system, and a data calculation and analysis system. The power distribution system and numerical control system include a power distribution cabinet 3, through which all electrical devices and control equipment are powered and controlled. As the core node for power distribution, the power distribution cabinet can safely distribute the main power supply to each experimental device, ensuring that each device receives a stable and suitable power supply. Through the instruments and indicator lights on the power distribution cabinet, experimental personnel can monitor key parameters such as current and voltage in real time, promptly detect abnormalities, and take appropriate measures. Modern power distribution cabinets are compact in design, with rationally arranged internal components, saving valuable space in the laboratory.
[0053] The data calculation and analysis system described in this application includes a computer 4. Real-time data information from various components within the experimental setup is sequentially transmitted to the power distribution cabinet 3 and the computer 4 via cables. The computer 4 analyzes and calculates the data. The computer can run various complex models and algorithms to perform high-precision calculations on massive amounts of data in a very short time. Through professional visualization tools, the computer can transform abstract data and present it more intuitively to experimental personnel, helping them to understand the characteristics of the experimental data more clearly.

When the electric heating power of the reactor simulation device is 0, the pressure drop and temperature drop of the turbine simulation device are 0, and the speed of compressor 9 is set to 0, the speed of compressor 9 and the power of the second electric heater 10 are 0 after calculation by the program, and the experimental setup is started.
