Molten salt thermal storage technology, due to its high energy density, excellent thermal stability, and environmental friendliness, has been widely used in this field. As the core heat exchange component in molten salt thermal storage systems, the temperature distribution of serpentine heat exchange tubes directly affects the efficiency and safety of the system. Therefore, accurately analyzing and predicting the temperature distribution within these tubes is crucial for optimizing the design and operation of molten salt thermal storage systems.

[0003] At present, the analysis methods for temperature distribution in serpentine heat exchange tubes mainly include experimental research and numerical simulation. Experimental research can directly obtain temperature distribution data in the tubes, but it has disadvantages such as high cost, long cycle, and poor safety. Numerical simulation methods can overcome the limitations of experimental research, but most of the existing simulation methods are based on traditional boiling heat transfer and phase change models, which are difficult to accurately describe the complex heat exchange process in serpentine heat exchange tubes, especially when the tube diameter is small. In addition, existing simulation methods often consider the molten salt heat storage process and the heat exchange process separately, ignoring the interaction between the two, resulting in deviations between the simulation results and the actual situation.

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention is given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary persons in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1, with reference to Figure 1-Figure 3 , which is an embodiment of the present invention, provides a method for analyzing temperature distribution along a serpentine heat exchange tube based on numerical simulation, comprising:

[0028] S1: Establish a three-dimensional model based on the structural parameters of the heat exchanger and discretize the three-dimensional model.

[0029] Furthermore, establishing the three-dimensional model according to the structural parameters of the heat exchanger includes constructing the three-dimensional model based on the structural parameters using three-dimensional modeling software.

[0030] The heat exchanger is a serpentine heat exchange tube; the structural parameters include tube diameter, number of tube passes, tube pass spacing and bend radius.

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, the three-dimensional model is a 1:1 three-dimensional modeling of the actual size of the three-dimensional fluid domain of the serpentine tube heat exchanger based on the actual size.

[0032] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the numerical simulation method is used to obtain the continuous along-the-line temperature distribution of the working fluid in the serpentine heat exchange tube and the molten salt outside the tube, the vaporization position, the heat load of the tube wall and other along-the-line parameters. According to the structural characteristics of the serpentine heat exchanger with a small tube diameter, the calculation process is simplified, and it is assumed that the water temperature in the serpentine heat exchange tube and the superheated steam temperature are consistent with the tube wall temperature of the heat exchange tube; after simplification, the hot water fluid domain in the serpentine heat exchange unit is replaced by the solid domain of the heat exchange tube, and the along-the-line temperature distribution law of the steam and water in the tube is replaced by changing the tube wall temperature. The heat exchange between the tube wall and the molten salt is simulated to replace the entire process of the working fluid in the tube transferring heat through the tube wall and then exchanging heat with the molten salt.

[0033] It should also be noted that discretizing the three-dimensional model includes meshing the three-dimensional model.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, the three-dimensional model is meshed. Specifically, one tube pass of the serpentine heat exchange tube is divided into two units, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the straight pipe section is a unit and the curved pipe section is a unit. The divided units are then sorted from the inlet to the outlet of the serpentine heat exchange tube and numbered in order from the inlet to the outlet. When dividing the units, the geometric size and position coordinates of each unit need to be determined based on the tube length, tube diameter and distance between tubes. After the division is completed, each unit is meshed to ensure the mesh continuity between units.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, local mesh encryption is also performed during mesh division. Specifically, a preliminary mesh model is obtained after preliminary mesh division of the three-dimensional model using numerical simulation software; based on comprehensive analysis, the area for local mesh encryption is determined, such as the wall of the serpentine heat exchange tube, the bend area, the gas-liquid two-phase flow area, etc.; the wall of the serpentine heat exchange tube is selected according to the characteristics of the encrypted area and the calculation requirements, such as mesh refinement, mesh deformation, adaptive mesh technology, etc.; encryption parameters are set in the numerical simulation software, such as the size of the encrypted area, the degree of encryption, etc., and the numerical simulation software is used to perform local mesh encryption on the encrypted area to generate an encrypted mesh model; the quality of the encrypted mesh is checked to ensure that the mesh meets the calculation requirements, and the encrypted mesh is used for numerical simulation and the simulation results are analyzed.

[0036] It should also be noted that, in an optional embodiment, the wall of the serpentine heat exchange tube has a temperature gradient due to direct contact between the tube wall and the molten salt, and local mesh encryption can more accurately capture the temperature distribution; the flow field and temperature field changes in the bend area are more complex, and local mesh encryption can improve the calculation accuracy; the flow field and temperature field in the gas-liquid two-phase flow area change dramatically, and local mesh encryption can facilitate more accurate simulation of the changes in the gas-liquid two-phase flow.

[0037] S2: Define the temperature field of the heat exchanger components through parameterization method and perform preliminary simulation analysis in the simulation platform.

[0038] Furthermore, setting the temperature field of the heat exchanger component by a parameterized method includes defining a continuous temperature distribution of the heat exchanger component by a parameterized method.

[0039] The parameterization methods include but are not limited to spline parameterization, polynomial parameterization, physical parameterization, etc.

[0040] The heat exchanger assembly includes a serpentine heat exchange tube wall; the temperature field includes a continuous temperature distribution.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present application, a continuous temperature distribution of a heat exchanger assembly is defined by a parametric method. Specifically, a continuous piecewise function is written with the outer point of the inlet of the serpentine heat exchange tube as the calculation starting point and the position coordinates along one side of the tube wall as the independent variable; the writing logic of the piecewise function includes determining the coordinate position of each unit in turn according to the tube length, tube diameter and tube spacing, and assigning an initial temperature value; the initial temperature value is determined according to the initial temperature of the inlet water, the gas content and the final superheated steam temperature; the temperature growth rate of the piecewise function is calculated based on the working fluid parameters.

[0042] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, since the diameter of the serpentine heat exchange tube and the spacing between the tubes are known and remain unchanged, the following can be used: Figure 3 The calculation starting point shown is used to determine the continuous coordinate position of each divided unit in turn based on the tube length, tube diameter and tube spacing, thereby ensuring that the initial temperature assigned to the tube wall also maintains continuous change.

[0043] It should also be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, the working fluid parameters include but are not limited to parameters such as inlet water temperature, inlet gas content, and inlet flow rate.

[0044] It should also be noted that the preliminary simulation analysis in the simulation platform includes loading the temperature field data of the heat exchanger components into the numerical simulation software for initial simulation.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present application, the system is loaded into a numerical simulation software for an initial simulation. Specifically, after determining the wall temperature of the serpentine heat exchange tube and programming logic, the initial temperature, gas content and final superheated steam temperature of the inlet water are set, and the temperature growth rate along the process of each unit piecewise function is set in the form of UDF, giving the tube wall a continuous temperature distribution, wherein the gas content is the ratio of the vaporized water flow rate in the serpentine heat exchange tube to the initial water volume; based on the wall temperature of the serpentine heat exchange tube assigned by UDF, the heat exchange rate between the molten salt and the wall of the serpentine heat exchange tube of each divided unit under the initial set temperature distribution is obtained through numerical simulation; based on the numerical simulation results, the heat exchange rate of each unit and the working fluid parameters of the water at the inlet are obtained, and the working fluid parameters include but are not limited to the inlet water temperature, the inlet gas content and the inlet flow rate.

[0046] S3: Optimize the temperature field of the heat exchanger components based on the simulation results to obtain temperature field data.

[0047] Furthermore, optimizing the temperature field of the heat exchanger component based on the simulation results includes calculating a temperature change in the temperature field according to data in the simulation results.

[0048] The temperature field data is the continuous temperature distribution data of the serpentine heat exchange tube wall.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the continuous temperature distribution of the entire serpentine heat exchange tube is determined by introducing the enthalpy value in the tube. Since the inlet of the serpentine heat exchange tube is in a mixed state of steam and water, the evaporation process of all water needs to be completed after absorbing heat. During the evaporation process, the temperature in the tube is always maintained at the saturation temperature under the working pressure. Therefore, in the iterative process, the changes in temperature and heat exchange are not intuitive enough. The enthalpy value replaces the total heat contained in the steam and water in the tube. Even at the same saturation temperature, each gas content corresponds to an enthalpy value. Under a certain working pressure, the enthalpy value and the superheated steam temperature are in a one-to-one correspondence. Therefore, in the data processing process, by introducing the enthalpy value in the tube, the continuous temperature distribution of the serpentine heat exchange tube can be determined more intuitively. The formula for calculating the enthalpy value through the heat exchange is expressed as:

[0050] Q=m·(H out -H in )

[0051] Among them, Q represents the heat transfer, unit W, H out 、H in Respectively represent the outlet and inlet enthalpy values ​​of the heat exchange unit, unit is kJ / kg.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, the temperature variation in the temperature field is calculated. Specifically, based on the heat exchange amount of each unit and the working fluid parameters of the water at the inlet obtained from the numerical simulation results, the temperature variation of each unit is calculated, and the inlet and outlet temperatures of each unit are determined, thereby obtaining a continuous temperature distribution of the entire serpentine heat exchange tube after numerical simulation calculation.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the temperature variation in the temperature field is calculated, and the temperature variation of each unit can also be calculated based on the heat exchange amount, working fluid mass flow rate and working fluid specific heat capacity in the simulation results.

[0054] It should also be noted that optimizing the temperature field of the heat exchanger component based on the simulation results also includes updating the temperature field of the heat exchanger component based on the temperature change until the error between the set temperature and the simulated temperature is less than the set value, the iteration ends, and the optimization is completed.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, the temperature field of the heat exchanger assembly is optimized based on the simulation results. Specifically, the tube wall temperature is redistributed according to the temperature change calculation results, and as an iterative process, the redistributed tube wall temperature is used as the initial temperature of the next iterative process, the temperature distribution is set, and the next iterative process is started until the error between the set temperature and the simulated temperature is less than 5%, and the vaporization position in the tube is reasonable. The iteration is then completed and the optimization is completed.

[0056] Example 2, reference Figure 4-Figure 6 , which is an embodiment of the present invention, provides a method for analyzing the temperature distribution along the serpentine heat exchange tube based on numerical simulation. In order to verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, scientific demonstration is carried out through economic benefit calculation and simulation experiments.

[0057] First, this embodiment aims to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of a method for analyzing the temperature distribution along the serpentine heat exchange tube based on numerical simulation. Figure 4 The full-scale 3D model is built at the actual size, where Figure 4It contains 4 heat exchange modules, each heat exchange module contains 1 serpentine tube, each serpentine tube contains 26 sub-tubes, and each tube is composed of straight tubes and curved tubes; each tube in the serpentine tube is divided into two units, straight tubes and curved tubes, and 1 serpentine tube has 52 units in total. The coordinate position of each unit is determined, and a continuous piecewise function is written to define the entire serpentine heat exchange tube. The initial continuously distributed tube wall temperature is loaded into the numerical simulation software Fluent using UDF, and numerical simulation calculations are performed to obtain the heat transfer of each unit, calculate the enthalpy change of each unit, and determine the temperature values ​​at both ends of each unit. The tube wall temperature is redistributed as an iterative process. The redistributed tube wall temperature is used as the initial temperature of the next iterative process, the temperature distribution is set, and the next iterative process is started. The iterative process is repeated until the error between the set serpentine heat exchange tube temperature distribution and the simulated temperature distribution is less than 5%, and the vaporization position in the tube is reasonable, as shown below. Figure 5 、 Figure 6 And the iterative simulation results of the heat exchange module are shown in Table 1.

[0058] Table 1 Heat exchanger simulation results parameters

[0059]

[0060] After several iterative calculations, the set enthalpy values ​​and simulated enthalpy values ​​of the four serpentine heat exchange tubes had an error within 5%. The set temperature distribution of the serpentine heat exchange tubes was determined to be the temperature distribution of the steam and water along the tubes in the actual process. The position of complete vaporization of the water in the tubes, the temperature distribution of the molten salt along the shell side, and the heat load of the tube wall can also be determined, thereby verifying the feasibility and effectiveness of the method of the present invention.
