TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The nuclear reactor cooling system is a key component to ensure the safe operation of the reactor, and its core task is to effectively remove the heat generated by the reactor through the coolant to maintain the temperature of the reactor core within a safe range. Most nuclear reactor cooling systems mainly rely on mechanical pumps and pipeline systems to achieve the circulating flow of cooling water.
[0003] With the development of magnetic material technology, the application of magnetic refrigeration technology in cooling systems has gradually attracted attention. Magnetic refrigeration technology is based on the principle of magnetic heat effect. When a magnetic heat working medium with magnetic heat effect is placed in a changing magnetic field, the internal magnetic moment will rearrange with the change of the magnetic field strength, resulting in a change in the temperature of the magnetic heat working medium. By controlling the magnetic field strength and the state conversion of the magnetic heat working medium, heat can be effectively absorbed, thereby achieving refrigeration effect. It has application value in high heat load scenarios such as nuclear reactor cooling systems and space temperature control equipment. Compared with traditional mechanical compression refrigeration, magnetic refrigeration has the advantages of zero greenhouse gas emissions, high energy efficiency, low vibration, etc.
[0004] In current magnetic refrigeration technology, the magnetic circuit formed by the permanent magnet structure is a divergent magnetic circuit. The divergent magnetic circuit leads to non-uniform distribution of magnetic field strength in space, and the magnetic field formed is unstable, which is easy to lose magnetism, thereby affecting the uniformity and reliability of the cooling effect.

The first magnetic supply group comprises a plurality of first magnetic blocks 11 connected in sequence in a straight line direction, and the first magnetic blocks 11 are attached to the outer side wall of one second magnetic conducting column 22. The second magnetic supply group comprises a plurality of second magnetic blocks 12 connected in sequence in a straight line direction, and the second magnetic blocks 12 are attached to the outer side wall of another second magnetic conducting column 22. The first magnetic supply group and the second magnetic supply group are parallel to each other, and the first magnetic supply group, the second magnetic supply group and the inner side wall of the magnetic conducting outer frame 2 form a working air gap 3. The polarity of the first magnetic block 11 and the polarity of the second magnetic block 12 are opposite, specifically, the N pole of the first magnetic block 11 faces the working air gap 3 direction, and the N pole of the second magnetic block 12 also faces the working air gap 3 direction; so that the magnetic field source 1 and the magnetic conducting outer frame 2 form a plurality of annular closed magnetic circuits around the working air gap 3, which achieves the effect of making the magnetic field distribution more uniform and stable, reducing the leakage of the magnetic field, and improving the uniformity and reliability of the cooling effect. This is because the closed magnetic circuit can reduce the divergence of the magnetic field, concentrate the magnetic field in the working air gap 3, and thus improve the uniformity and stability of the magnetic field.

The shape of the first magnetic block 11 and the second magnetic block 12 is selected as a cuboid to facilitate processing and installation. A heat-resistant adhesive layer 6 is arranged between adjacent two first magnetic blocks 11, and the heat-resistant adhesive layer 6 can be made of a high-temperature-resistant adhesive, such as a ceramic-based adhesive. A heat-resistant adhesive layer 6 is also arranged between adjacent two second magnetic blocks 12, and the same adhesive method and material as the first magnetic block 11 are used to ensure the connectivity in a high-temperature environment.

The second reinforcing bolts 74 and the second connecting bolts 72 jointly ensure the connection stability of the first magnetic supply group and the second magnetic supply group with the magnetically conductive outer frame 2. In this embodiment, six first reinforcing bolts 73 and two second reinforcing bolts 74 are arranged on one second magnetically conductive column 22.
[0036] With reference to Figure 1 Two connecting plates 5 are spacedly arranged in the working air gap 3, the connecting plates 5 correspond to the first magnetically conductive columns 21 one by one, and the connecting plates 5 are fixedly connected with the corresponding magnetically conductive columns through screws. The connecting plates 5 are provided with pipe clamping holes 51, and the first magnetically conductive columns 21 are provided with through holes 213 corresponding to the pipe clamping holes 51.

When the magnetic heat working medium reciprocates in the working air gap 3 and demagnetization and heat absorption are performed, the coolant in the cooling pipe 4 can be directly and efficiently cooled. The connecting plate 5 fixes the cooling pipe 4 in the working air gap 3, so that the relative position of the cooling pipe 4 and the magnetic heat working medium is stable. In this way, when the magnetic heat working medium reciprocates in the working air gap 3, the cooling pipe 4 is in the best heat exchange position. The cooling pipe 4 includes an inflow end and an outflow end. The outflow end of the cooling pipe 4 is communicated with a first flow guide pipe 41 and a second flow guide pipe 42. The first flow guide pipe 41 and the second flow guide pipe 42 are each provided with a flow cutoff valve 9. The inflow end of the cooling pipe 4 is connected to the coolant, so that the magnetic heat working medium reciprocates in the working air gap 3. When the magnetic heat working medium is demagnetized, the coolant in the cooling pipe 4 can be uniformly cooled. The two flow cutoff valves 9 are controlled, so that the cooled coolant is discharged from the first flow guide pipe 41 to the area to be cooled.
