Abstract

本发明属于热管堆技术领域,公开了一种六边形环状热管冷却反应堆,该1、该装置包括:热管的管壁、丝网吸液芯、热管的蒸汽腔结构、铀钼合金燃料、热管的外管壁、热管内壁面贴附的吸液芯和铀钼合金。本发明采用六边形环状热管耦合六边形燃料元件组成。首先在结构上,不需要石墨组成的骨架结构对热管和燃料元件进行固定,可以直接采用热管和燃料元件组成的组件拓展形成,消除了骨架带来的间隙热阻。此外,在传热性能上,六边形环状热管的传热性能要优于传统的圆柱形热管。采用相同的传热面积,在相同的传热功率条件下,六边形环状热管的管壁外表面温度低于圆柱形热管。这使得热管堆内部的材料应力要求,冷凝段的热电转换形式可以更丰富。
