[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0029] Given that the secondary circuit medium of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor needs to be deoxygenated and dosed after passing through a heat exchange station, it must also be cooled and depressurized to meet the operating requirements of deoxygenation and dosing. This will cause pressure and temperature losses. To this end, this application provides a residual pressure and residual heat recovery system. This system is applied to the secondary circuit of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor and is used to convert residual pressure and residual heat into electrical energy while achieving pressure and temperature reduction, thereby avoiding waste of residual pressure and residual heat and improving power generation efficiency. The specific solution is as follows:
[0030] The present application provides a high temperature gas cooled reactor residual pressure and heat recovery system, the system includes a high pressure fluid header 8 and a low pressure fluid header 7, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system also includes a series sequence power generation device connected in series between the two. The inlet of the high-pressure fluid manifold is connected to the outlet of the secondary circuit medium of the heat exchange station, so that the secondary circuit medium flows through the heat exchange station and enters the high-pressure fluid manifold; the outlet of the high-pressure fluid manifold is connected to the device inlet of the series sequence power generation device, and the device outlet of the series sequence power generation device is connected to the inlet of the low-pressure fluid manifold, and the outlet of the low-pressure fluid manifold is connected to the inlet of the deoxygenation and dosing system of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor. As a result, the residual pressure and residual heat recovery system of the present application becomes part of the secondary circuit of the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, allowing the secondary circuit medium to complete a complete circulation process through the system.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the series-connected power generation device of the present application includes a front-end regulating valve 1, at least one thermoelectric flow regulator connected in series after the front-end regulating valve, and at least one hydraulic turbine power generation device. Specifically, in this embodiment, the device includes a first-stage thermoelectric flow regulator 2 and a second-stage thermoelectric flow regulator 4. The hydraulic turbine power generation device includes a first-stage hydraulic turbine power generation device 3 and a second-stage hydraulic turbine power generation device 5. The front-end regulating valve is used to control the flow rate of the secondary circuit medium flowing through the series-connected power generation device by controlling its opening. The series-connected power generation device is used to generate electricity based on the pressure and temperature of the secondary circuit medium flowing therethrough, that is, it generates electricity while simultaneously reducing the pressure and temperature of the secondary circuit medium, thereby avoiding waste of excess pressure and excess temperature.
[0032] Each stage of the hydraulic turbine power generation system includes a hydraulic turbine and a generator 6 coupled to the hydraulic turbine. Each stage is also equipped with a turbine regulating valve 9, which regulates the flow rate through the hydraulic turbine to adjust the resistance of the hydraulic turbine and ensure the required pressure at the end.
[0033] The above-mentioned thermoelectric stabilizer generates electricity based on the temperature of the secondary circuit medium, and cools the secondary circuit medium while generating electricity. The thermoelectric stabilizer includes a box body, which is used to flow through the secondary circuit medium, and a plurality of Seebeck thermoelectric elements are arranged on the outer wall of the box body, such as Figure 2 As shown, a guide fin is provided inside the device. Figure 3As shown, this Seebeck thermoelectric element array is geometrically connected in series. The Seebeck elements adhere tightly to the outer wall of a tube or elbow, and the contact surface is filled with a thermal conductive agent such as silicone grease or thermal oil. Furthermore, rectifiers are arranged within the tubular flow channel of the thermoelectric stabilizer, which also serves as heat transfer fins, effectively transferring heat from the fluid in the tube to the Seebeck elements. This helps to guide and stabilize the flow, eliminate mutual influence between the two turbines, and enhance heat transfer. The thermoelectric stabilizer can be installed in either a straight tube or elbow configuration, depending on the requirements of the liquid turbine equipment.
[0034] Thermoelectric elements are connected in series or in series-parallel according to a certain rule, and output direct current based on waste heat. After inversion, the direct current is converted into alternating current with the same frequency as the alternating current generated by the hydraulic turbine generator. The two are combined to supply power to equipment in the factory or to the power grid.
[0035] In addition, to adapt to the operating conditions of different application scenarios, the number of thermoelectric stabilizers and hydraulic turbine generators in series can be adjusted, with the number of impeller stages of the hydraulic turbine generator not exceeding 6. When the pipeline pressure difference between the high-pressure fluid header and the low-pressure fluid header is less than 4MPa, one thermoelectric stabilizer and one hydraulic turbine generator are required; when the pipeline pressure difference is between 4MPa and 8MPa, two thermoelectric stabilizers and two hydraulic turbine generators are required; when the pipeline pressure difference is between 8MPa and 12MPa, two thermoelectric stabilizers and three hydraulic turbine generators are required.
[0036] Also, the series sequence power generation device in this application is not limited to one, e.g. Figure 4 As shown, there is provided a series sequence power generation device including three parallel connected ones. In order to adapt to different flow rates of secondary circuit media, the present application adopts the following control strategy.
[0037] When the operating flow rate of the hydraulic turbine generator set is less than the first threshold and greater than or equal to the second threshold, the flow rate is balanced by controlling the opening of the regulating valve at the front end of each series-series generator set, thereby reducing the resistance of the hydraulic turbine equipment and ensuring the required pressure at the end. At this time, all series-series generator sets are put into operation.
[0038] When the operating flow rate of a hydraulic turbine generator set falls below a second threshold, some of the front-end regulating valves are closed, and the flow rate of the remaining series-series generator sets is balanced by controlling the opening of the remaining front-end regulating valves. This ensures that the operating series generator sets always operate within a reasonable operating range by shutting down some series-series generator sets and directing the flow rate to other series-series generator sets. The first threshold is 80% of the rated flow rate of a single hydraulic turbine generator set, and the second threshold is 60% of its rated flow rate.
[0039] From the above technical solution can be seen, the embodiment provides a kind of high temperature gas cooled reactor's excess pressure waste heat recovery system, including high-pressure fluid header, low-pressure fluid header, at least one series sequence power generation device being connected in series between high-pressure fluid header and low-pressure fluid header.The import of high-pressure fluid header is connected with the outlet of secondary circuit medium of heat exchange station of high temperature gas cooled reactor, outlet is communicated with the device entrance of series sequence power generation device, the device outlet of series sequence power generation device is communicated with the import of low-pressure fluid header, and the outlet of low-pressure fluid header is communicated with the import of oxygen removal dosing system of high temperature gas cooled reactor;Series sequence power generation device generates electricity based on the excess pressure and waste heat of the secondary circuit medium flowing therein, and exports the power generated to the power system of high temperature gas cooled reactor.The system can realize the power generation while depressurizing and cooling secondary circuit medium, avoids the waste of waste heat, to improve the power generation efficiency as a whole.
[0040] In addition, the excess pressure waste heat recovery system of the application can not only be applied to the recovery of the excess pressure waste heat of the high temperature gas cooled reactor, but also can be applied to other thermal power systems using fluid working medium for power generation or heating, such as coal-fired generator set, gas-fired generator set, straw-fired generator set, etc.
