Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ground source heat pump system optimization technology, specifically to an adaptive, green, intelligent antifreeze control method for integrated heating and insulation of tunnel lining in cold and high-altitude areas. Background Technology
[0002] Tunnels traversing high-altitude and frigid regions are susceptible to frost damage at their entrances. Traditional solutions often involve short-term protection using insulation materials or active protection via electric heating, which are conservative and inefficient, and consume significant energy when using electric heating. However, tunnels using ground source heat pumps can utilize the higher ground temperature in the tunnel's midsection to insulate the tunnel entrance, providing passive protection. Furthermore, only a small amount of energy is needed for circulation to achieve the same effect as electric heating. Using a ground source heat pump requires adding a heating layer to the tunnel lining to achieve heat collection and dissipation. To achieve the desired effect, reliable prediction of the tunnel's heat load is essential, along with timely adjustments to the circulation based on the heat load, to avoid falling into the trap of conservative design and excessive energy consumption.
[0003] Currently, the use of ground source heat pumps for tunnel protection in high-altitude and cold regions still faces the following problems: First, the tunnel's heat load is affected by various environmental parameters such as temperature and geological conditions, making it difficult to predict accurately and leading to conservative initial designs. Second, the addition of ground source heat pumps makes the tunnel structure more complex, and the thermal effects between layers require consideration of more dimensions. In addition, existing numerical simulation models (such as finite element analysis) are unable to dynamically quantify the impact of different geological conditions on the tunnel's heat load. Finally, there is currently no intelligent assessment and control system that can combine with actual data for rapid and timely judgment, and decision-making relies on prior experience, resulting in overly conservative and inefficient designs. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Example
[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the process of the integrated adaptive green intelligent antifreeze control method for tunnel lining-heating-insulation in cold and high-altitude regions according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an integrated adaptive, green, and intelligent antifreeze control method for tunnel lining, heating, and insulation in cold and high-altitude environments, including:
[0021] Step S1: Construct a material parameter database for the multi-layered structure of high-altitude tunnels.
[0022] The environmental parameters of the material parameter database for multi-layered structures in high-altitude and cold-weather tunnels were cleaned and processed. This database was constructed through laboratory testing, literature review, and collection of material thermophysical properties.
[0023] When collecting thermal property parameters of materials, samples of tunnel lining, surrounding rock, insulation materials, heat exchange pipes and geotechnical materials are collected. Physical parameters such as thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity and density are measured using standardized testing equipment such as thermal conductivity meters and specific heat capacity meters. Experimental standards (such as temperature, humidity and pressure) are established during laboratory testing to ensure the repeatability and comparability of data.
[0024] Step S2: Construct a tunnel model and a tunnel thermal equilibrium model using the material parameter database of the multi-layer structure of the high-altitude tunnel. Conduct a scaled-down experiment on the tunnel model to obtain experimental results. Perform multi-parameter coupled numerical simulation on the tunnel thermal equilibrium model to obtain simulation results. Compare the experimental results with the simulation results to verify and expand the environmental parameters of the tunnel thermal equilibrium model and obtain the temperature distribution of the tunnel model.
[0025] The tunnel model is made of transparent acrylic material, with an outer geotextile material to simulate the heating and insulation layers, and an internal sand and gravel mixture to simulate the geological materials. A fluid circulation system is set up to simulate the heat exchange process, and temperature sensors and heat flow meters are installed to monitor the temperature distribution and heat flow changes of the tunnel model.
[0026] Multi-parameter coupled numerical simulation uses numerical simulation software, configures multi-physics field coupling analysis, establishes a tunnel thermal equilibrium model based on the material parameter database of the multi-layer structure of high-altitude cold tunnel, simulates the heat transfer process, and sets boundary conditions, including constant heat flux input and adiabatic boundary.
[0027] Step S3: Input material parameters and the thickness of each layer of the tunnel into the tunnel thermal equilibrium model, match the tunnel model with environmental parameters, and obtain the optimization range of material parameters and the thickness of each layer of the tunnel.
[0028] Step S4: Construct a heat load prediction model based on the material parameter database of the multi-layered structure of the high-altitude tunnel to obtain the required heat transfer load under different environmental parameters. These environmental parameters include, but are not limited to, climate and seepage conditions.
[0029] The heat load prediction model utilizes machine learning algorithms, including random forests and neural networks, to learn the nonlinear relationship between environmental parameters and heat transfer load from a database of material parameters for multi-layered high-altitude tunnels. The model is trained using a training dataset from this database to fine-tune hyperparameters. The performance of the model is evaluated through cross-validation and a test set.
[0030] The SHAP value was used to analyze the heat load prediction model, quantify the specific contribution of environmental parameters to the heat exchange load, and determine the key environmental parameters.
[0031] By analyzing the importance of features, a heat load impact scoring model is established based on the specific contribution weights of environmental parameters.
[0032] In this embodiment, when simulating the regional tunnel, the outside air temperature is set to -40℃ to 0℃, the inside temperature of the tunnel is 5℃, and there is no seepage in the surrounding strata. After calculating the required heat exchange load, the influence contribution of each environmental parameter (0~100 points) is output. The weight of the parameter adjustment is set according to the magnitude of the influence contribution (e.g., outside air temperature weight 0.6, inside tunnel temperature weight 0.3, seepage condition weight 0.1).
[0033] Step S5: Obtain on-site measurement data, including environmental parameters and temperature distribution. Construct a data-physical dual-drive model based on the tunnel thermal equilibrium model and heat load prediction model, and integrate it with the cloud intelligent platform. Input the on-site measurement data into the data-physical dual-drive model, update the environmental parameters and temperature distribution of the data-physical dual-drive model in real time, and calculate the heating power and flow parameters online.
[0034] Monitoring equipment is installed in the area where the tunnel is located to collect data on climate conditions and seepage. The collected field measurement data is imported into the data-physical dual-drive model in real time for calculation. The data-physical dual-drive model calculates the most recommended multi-layer structure design for the tunnel under the current conditions. Secondly, thermocouples, flow meters and other equipment are installed on the tunnel to obtain the temperature distribution at the tunnel entrance and the temperature and velocity of the circulating liquid in the heating layer. The heating power and flow parameters are changed by adjusting the circulation pump.
[0035] The cloud-based intelligent platform includes an intelligent database and a cloud computing platform. The intelligent database supports real-time data updates and multi-terminal access. Multi-terminal access allows for setting data access permissions, enhancing security.
