Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fusion reactor temperature control systems, specifically relating to a temperature maintenance system and control method for intermittent periods in the blanket lithium-lead heat source loop. Background Technology

[0002] Nuclear fusion energy, due to its high energy density, high safety, and virtually zero greenhouse gas emissions, is considered a crucial pathway to fundamentally solve the energy problem. Its basic power generation principle is as follows: deuterium and tritium are heated to create a high-temperature plasma, which is then ignited in a reactor to induce fusion. Lithium in the outer cladding of the plasma reactor absorbs high-energy neutrons released during the fusion reaction, producing more tritium fuel. Simultaneously, the cladding is also heated by these high-energy neutrons. The generated heat is transferred to a heat exchanger via a cooling loop, ultimately forming steam that drives a turbine generator to produce electricity.

[0003] Liquid LiPb (lithium lead) is the primary medium for the blanket coolant in fusion reactors. It serves not only as a heat transfer medium, absorbing and removing heat deposited within the blanket for power generation, but also as a tritium breeder, promoting the growth of tritium fuel. However, existing fusion reactors operate intermittently. During periods of shutdown or other necessary pauses, with no heat input, the temperature of the LiPb medium within pipes and equipment gradually decreases due to heat loss, falling below the temperature at the inlet of the blanket LiPb heat source. A significant drop in LiPb temperature can cause substantial problems. The operation of the fusion reactor blanket LiPb heat source requires consistent inlet and outlet temperatures within the blanket in each cycle. A significant drop in LiPb temperature below the blanket inlet temperature leads to a large temperature discrepancy between the inlet and outlet in the next cycle, affecting the efficiency of the LiPb heat source in the thermal storage and power generation systems. In addition, liquid LiPb alloy is a Li-Pb eutectic with a melting point of around 234-239℃. When the temperature drops to near its solidification point, it can cause significant stress in pipes and equipment, which may eventually lead to weld cracking or container wall damage, resulting in serious safety accidents.

[0004] Currently, research on existing fusion reactor devices does not address the issue of controlling the temperature of the LiPb blanket medium during fusion reactor shutdowns. Furthermore, the method of maintaining medium temperature through pipeline electric heat tracing, commonly used in other fields such as solar thermal power generation and petrochemical systems, is not suitable for LiPb blanket utilization systems. Its main drawback is that electric heat tracing typically maintains pipeline temperatures between 100 and 200°C, proving ineffective at maintaining higher temperatures. Additionally, electric heat tracing has low thermal power, failing to achieve rapid, high-flow-rate heating. Since the LiPb medium not only fills the pipelines but also the blanket and the interior of the heat exchanger, rapid heating of all media in the system is not possible when the temperature drops, increasing the risk of accidents. SUMMARY

[0005] The application provides a cladding lithium-lead heat source circuit intermittent period temperature maintaining system and a control method, which are used for controlling the medium temperature in a fusion reactor cladding LiPb circuit, can realize rapid heating of the LiPb medium, solve the problem of large temperature drop of the LiPb medium, avoid the problems of instability and reduced efficiency of the heat storage and power generation system caused by large deviation of the LiPb cladding inlet and outlet temperatures, overcome the solidification risk of the LiPb medium, and improve the safety of the system.

[0008] The application also provides a control method of the cladding lithium-lead heat source circuit intermittent period temperature maintaining system, during the stop of the tokamak device, when any two of the temperature T1 at the upper connection port of the cladding lithium-lead heat source, the temperature T2 at the lower connection port of the cladding lithium-lead heat source or the temperature T3 of the lithium-lead inside the cladding are lower than the minimum temperature limit TL, the electric heater, the second pump, the third valve and the first valve are started, so that the heated lithium-lead flows through the second pump, the first valve, the fusion reactor cladding and the third valve in sequence and then returns to the electric heater; when the temperature T1 at the upper connection port of the cladding lithium-lead heat source, the temperature T2 at the lower connection port of the cladding lithium-lead heat source or the temperature T3 of the lithium-lead inside the cladding and the medium temperature T4 at the inlet of the electric heater all rise to the minimum temperature limit TL+5℃, the electric heater, the second pump, the third valve and the first valve are closed.

[0027] Specifically, the control method of the intermittent temperature maintaining system of the cladding lithium-lead heat source circuit of the application is as follows:

[0028] During the stop of the tokamak device, when any two of the temperature T1 at the upper connection port of the cladding lithium-lead heat source, the temperature T2 at the lower connection port of the cladding lithium-lead heat source, and the temperature T3 of the lithium-lead inside the cladding are lower than the minimum temperature limit TL, the electric heater 31 is started to heat the lithium-lead, and the temperature is raised to TL+5℃. The second pump 32, the third valve 33, and the first valve 12 are started, and the lithium-lead heated by the electric heater 31 flows through the second pump 32, the first valve 12, the upper connection pipe 11 of the lithium-lead heat source, the cladding 13 of the fusion reactor, the lower connection pipe 14 of the lithium-lead heat source, the third valve 33, and then returns to the electric heater 31.
