TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hydrogen recombiner stability test of nuclear power plant, in particular to a long-term stability test system of hydrogen recombiner of nuclear power plant. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the operation of nuclear power plant, if the hydrogen gas released by normal leakage or accident state reaches 4% to 75% of the explosion limit, it will seriously threaten the safety. As the core safety equipment, the hydrogen recombiner catalyzes the hydrogen gas and air to generate water through platinum / palladium catalyst, and its design life needs to be consistent with the reactor, and it needs to withstand periodic complex working conditions such as low dose radiation, temperature and pressure fluctuation and high radiation impact in accident state for a long time. Nuclear radiation will cause irreversible damage to the catalyst, which will directly affect its long-term stability, so it is necessary to simulate the actual working condition through a long-term stability test system, carry out thousands to tens of thousands of hours of continuous test, and evaluate the performance of catalyst activity attenuation and structural integrity.
[0003] The existing test system mainly includes radiation simulation, gas supply, temperature control, pressure regulation and monitoring subsystems, but the core defect is that the radiation simulation adopts a constant radiation dose mode: the whole process radiation intensity is set according to the average radiation level of the nuclear power plant, only to ensure that the total dose is consistent with the cumulative dose in the design life, and its basis is that the radiation damage is one-way accumulation, and the constant radiation is equivalent to the actual fluctuating radiation when the total dose is equal.
[0004] However, the actual radiation environment of the nuclear power plant is periodic fluctuation, and the high radiation impact will cause irreversible damage to the active sites of the catalyst, and the multiple high radiation impact-low radiation recovery cycles will produce radiation memory effect: the high radiation damage cannot be recovered by the low radiation environment, and it will also accelerate the damage accumulation, resulting in that the actual activity attenuation rate of the catalyst is much faster than the constant radiation simulation result. The existing system does not consider the coupling effect of radiation fluctuation and radiation memory effect, which leads to a significant deviation between the test data and the actual operating state, overestimates the long-term stability of the hydrogen recombiner, and may cause misjudgment of unqualified products, which seriously threatens the safety of the nuclear power plant, so there is an urgent need for a test system that can accurately simulate the above complex working conditions.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0020] Figure 1 The figure is a schematic diagram of the long-term stability test system of the hydrogen recombiner of the nuclear power plant of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, 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.
[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present application provides a technical solution: The defects of the prior art are not only that radiation fluctuation is not simulated, but also that the coupling mechanism and evolution law of radiation damage are not well understood, and the deep root causes include: One-way cognitive bias of damage: Simplify the radiation damage as external energy input → passive damage accumulation of catalyst → ignore the two-way coupling mechanism of catalyst damage → environmental medium property change → subsequent damage amplification: In actual working conditions, radiation not only damages the catalyst, but also changes the physical and chemical properties of the surrounding medium (such as air and water vapor), which in turn accelerates the subsequent damage of the catalyst, forming a cycle of damage-medium variation-damage amplification. The existing system does not reproduce this coupling relationship.
[0023] Essential misjudgment of memory effect: The core of radiation memory effect is damage residue + sensitivity enhancement, and sensitivity enhancement not only comes from the lattice defects of the catalyst itself, but also from the amplification effect of the surrounding medium on radiation: the change of the microstructure of the medium after high radiation will enhance the energy transmission efficiency of subsequent radiation. The existing system only focuses on the catalyst itself and does not consider the memory effect interlocking of the medium and the catalyst.
[0024] Splitting of working condition simulation: In actual working conditions, high radiation, high temperature and high pressure are synchronous triggering synergistic damage factors, and radiation fluctuation and temperature and pressure fluctuation have peak synchronization characteristics, but the existing system adjusts each parameter separately and cannot reproduce the extreme damage scenario of peak superposition of multiple factors, resulting in insufficient authenticity of damage simulation.
[0025] Adjustment feedback lag: The existing system, even if it tries to simulate fluctuating radiation, relies on preset program control and cannot dynamically adjust the working conditions according to the real-time damage state of the catalyst, and cannot adapt to the dynamic process of damage accumulation → sensitivity change → need to adjust the radiation intensity to match the actual response.
[0026] Referring to Figure 1 The embodiment of the long-term stability test system of the hydrogen recombiner in the nuclear power plant is shown: The long-term stability test system of the hydrogen recombiner in the nuclear power plant comprises a catalyst-magnetorheological fluid double-damage monitoring module, an interlocking memory type magnetorheological radiation adjusting module, a reaction energy peak synchronization cooperation module, a hardware logic closed loop feedback module and a damage quantification evaluation module.

[0029] Signal fusion rule: weight calibration through pre-test (C1 accounts for 60%, C2 accounts for 40%), i.e. Dc=0.6×C1+0.4×C2, where Dc is the comprehensive damage signal of the catalyst (0-5V); pre-test calibration method: select 3 groups of platinum / palladium catalysts with different radiation damage degrees (undamaged, slightly damaged, moderately damaged), test their C1, C2 signals and the correlation with the actual damage degree (observe the grain size and lattice defect density by transmission electron microscopy), and fit to obtain the weight coefficient.

[0033] Signal fusion rule: M1 and M2 are directly superimposed to obtain the comprehensive damage signal Dm of the magneto-rheological fluid, i.e. Dm=M1+M2 (0-10V), which is converted to 0-5V through a voltage dividing circuit and input to the double-damage fusion unit.

The circuit realizes the operation S=α・Dc+β・Dm (α and β are coupling coefficients, both with an initial value of 0.5), and outputs an interlocked memory drive signal S (0-5V). This unit is fixed to the circuit board of the hardware logic closed-loop feedback module with screws, and the signal output terminal is connected to the signal input terminal of the hardware logic closed-loop feedback module through a shielded cable.
[0035] To verify the accurate quantification capability of the dual-damage fusion signal S for the catalyst-medium bidirectional coupling damage amplification mechanism, it is necessary to establish a correlation formula between the damage amplification factor and S, and clarify how it reflects the cyclic effect of catalyst damage → media variation → damage amplification: ; in: : Amplification factor of bidirectional coupling damage; Coupling amplification factor; Interlocked memory drive signal; Catalyst damage coupling weight; : Magnetorheological fluid (medium) variation coupling weight; : Comprehensive damage signal of catalyst; : Comprehensive damage signal of magnetorheological fluid; This formula directly quantifies the core logic of bidirectional coupling damage amplification: When there is no damage ( =0) =0), =0, =1, meaning lossless amplification; When the catalyst suffers initial damage When the value is greater than 0, it will cause changes in the properties of the magnetorheological fluid. >0, the two are connected , Weighted coupling formation This, in turn, drives the damage amplification factor. Linear growth. This indicates... It is not simply a superposition of two types of damage signals, but a precise capture of the cyclical effect of catalyst damage → medium variation → damage amplification. This proves that the dual damage monitoring module fundamentally solves the defect of the one-way cognitive bias of existing technology and provides a scientific quantitative basis for subsequent adaptive adjustment.

Implementation steps: The specific steps of the hydrogen recombiner long-term stability test using the above test system are as follows, including test preparation, initial low radiation stage, high radiation-collaborative working condition stage, memory maintenance-low radiation stage, cycle test and result determination, the operation process, parameter control and judgment standard of each step are as follows: 7.1, test preparation (time-consuming 2 hours): Catalyst installation: fix the platinum / palladium series catalyst catalytic plate to be tested on the support in the middle of the funnel-shaped test cavity, ensure that the laser of the original ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectrometer is focused on the center of the catalytic plate, and the micro-resistance probe array is in good contact with the surface of the catalytic plate (contact resistance <1Ω).
[0063] Magnetorheological fluid filling: inject the prepared magnetorheological fluid through the liquid injection port at the top of the annular radiation shielding cavity, the filling amount is 15L, and the magnetorheological fluid is ensured to completely cover the channel between the radiation source and the catalytic plate (filling height 100mm), and the liquid injection port sealing valve is closed.
[0064] Gas configuration: open the pressure reducing valves of the hydrogen cylinder and the air cylinder, adjust the hydrogen flow to 0.3L / min and the air flow to 9.7L / min through the mass flow controller, so that the hydrogen volume concentration is stabilized at 3%, and the air in the test cavity is replaced for 30 minutes.
[0065] System initialization: connect the 24V DC power supply, start all modules, set the initial parameters through the debugging interface of the hardware logic closed loop feedback module: threshold S0=0.05V, memory locking time 3 hours, initial coupling coefficient α=β=0.5; calibrate each sensor through the damage quantification evaluation module, and ensure that the measurement error of radiation intensity, temperature, pressure and hydrogen concentration is ≤±2%.
[0066] 7.2, initial low radiation stage (last until S≥S0, about 100 hours): Working condition control: the hardware logic closed loop feedback module controls the annular electromagnetic coil to output a low magnetic field of 50mT, the Fe3O4 particles in the magnetorheological fluid are dispersed and distributed, the radiation intensity is maintained at 10 4 Gy / h; the gas supply subsystem continuously supplies gas to maintain the hydrogen concentration at 3%, the temperature in the test cavity is stabilized at 60-80℃, and the pressure is maintained at 0.1MPa.
[0067] Data acquisition: the catalyst-magnetorheological fluid double-damage monitoring module acquires C1, C2, M1 and M2 signals every 10 minutes, calculates Dc, Dm and interlocking memory driving signal S, and the damage quantification evaluation module synchronously acquires radiation intensity, temperature and pressure data, and stores them in real time to the industrial SD card.
[0068] 7.3, high radiation-collaborative working condition stage (last until the growth rate of Dc is less than 10% of the initial rate, about 2 hours): Trigger condition: When the hardware logic closed-loop feedback module detects that S ≥ S0, automatically trigger high radiation working condition.
[0069] Radiation regulation: The magnetic field driving circuit outputs a current of 4 A, and the annular electromagnetic coil generates a magnetic field of 250 mT, and the Fe3O4 particles in the magnetorheological fluid form a chain structure; at the same time, the high radiation (10 6 Gy / h) triggers part of the microcapsule to break, and the core material nano Fe3O4 particles are released and adsorbed on the surface of the chain structure, the magnetic permeability of the magnetorheological fluid is improved, and the radiation intensity is stabilized at 10 6 Gy / h.
[0070] Synergistic working condition formation: The catalytic reaction rate increases sharply (the initial reaction rate ≥ 0.05% / min), and the heat generated in the cavity forms natural convection, and the temperature rises to 380℃ within 30 minutes; the pressure fluctuates to 2.8 MPa under the combined action of the decrease in the number of gas molecules and the increase in temperature, realizing the synchronization of high radiation-high temperature-high pressure peak.
[0071] Data monitoring: The double-damage monitoring module collects signals every 5 minutes, tracks the growth of Dc and Dm, and until the growth rate of Dc decreases to 8% of the initial high radiation stage (the initial rate is the average growth rate of the first 10 minutes).
[0072] 4, Memory maintenance-low radiation stage (last for 3.5 hours): Working condition switching: After the high radiation stage ends, the memory locking unit is started, and the 250 mT magnetic field is maintained for 3 hours, and then the current of the magnetic field driving circuit is reduced to 1 A, and the magnetic field is restored to 50 mT.
[0073] Working condition parameters: Since the microcapsules have been broken, the magnetic permeability of the magnetorheological fluid is still higher than the initial state, and the radiation intensity is maintained at 1.5×10 4 Gy / h; the temperature slowly decreases to 90℃ through natural heat dissipation, and the pressure is released to 0.1 MPa through the magnetorheological fluid pressure valve.
[0074] Memory effect verification: Monitor the change of Dc signal, if the fluctuation amplitude of Dc within 3 hours is ≤±0.02V, it is determined that the radiation memory effect simulation is effective, and at the same time, the first interlocking memory coefficient K1=1 (reference value) is calculated.
[0075] 5, Cycle test and quantitative evaluation (cumulative duration 10000 hours): Cycle trigger: Repeat steps 3-4, and the condition of each high radiation trigger is S ≥ S0, and after each high radiation, new microcapsules in the magnetorheological fluid are broken, the magnetic response is continuously strengthened, and the low radiation baseline is gradually improved (1.5×10 4 Gy / h→2×10 4 Gy / h→…→3×10 4 Gy / h).
[0076] Coefficient correction: When the microcapsule breakage rate ≥ 80% (calculated by the integral of the magnetic susceptibility change rate, i.e. breakage rate = (real-time magnetic susceptibility - initial magnetic susceptibility) / (maximum magnetic susceptibility - initial magnetic susceptibility) x 100%), the hardware logic closed-loop feedback module automatically corrects the coupling coefficients a = 0.6, β = 0.4.
[0077] Data processing: The damage quantification evaluation module calculates the activity attenuation rate, interlocking memory coefficient K and synergistic damage coefficient η in real time, generates a stage curve every 100 hours, and stops after 10,000 hours of cumulative test.
[0078] 6. Results determination: After the test, the catalyst catalytic plate is taken out for structural integrity detection (whether there is cracking, falling off by naked eye observation), combined with the data of the damage quantification evaluation module, the following standard is determined: Qualified standard: catalyst activity attenuation rate ≤ 25%, interlocking memory coefficient K ≤ 2.0, synergistic damage coefficient η ≤ 1.5, and no obvious structural damage (cracking length < 5mm, falling area < 1%) of the catalyst plate.
[0079] Unqualified standard: activity attenuation rate > 25% or K > 2.0 or η > 2.2, or catalyst plate cracking length ≥ 5mm, or falling area ≥ 1%.
[0080] Summary: Through the catalyst-magnetorheological fluid damage interlocking memory mechanism, the actual evolution process of radiation fluctuation-memory effect-synergistic damage is accurately reproduced, the defect of overestimating the stability of the existing system is solved, and the misjudgment of unqualified products is avoided.
[0081] Accurate quantification of interlocking memory effect: for the first time, interlocking memory coefficient K is proposed and quantified, which directly reflects the damage amplification degree caused by catalyst-medium coupling, and provides a new quantitative index for catalyst radiation resistance design.
[0082] Synergistic working condition simulation without additional energy consumption: using the dual function of catalyst reaction energy and magnetorheological fluid, high radiation-high temperature-high pressure peak value is realized simultaneously, without additional heating and pressurizing equipment, and the energy consumption is reduced compared with the existing system.
[0083] Prospective damage warning: by monitoring the microcapsule breakage rate and magnetic property change of magnetorheological fluid, the critical failure trend of catalyst can be warned in advance (when K ≥ 1.8 and η ≥ 2.0, it is judged as a critical failure precursor), which provides sufficient preparation time for nuclear power plant operation and maintenance. The existing system can only evaluate after the test is completed, without prospective warning function.
[0084] The medium damage is transformed into treasure: the radiation damage (microcapsule rupture) of magnetorheological fluid is transformed into the core element of the simulation of the strengthening memory effect, instead of simply avoiding damage, which simplifies the system structure (without additional memory trigger device) and improves the test authenticity, forming a positive cycle of damage-strengthening-precision simulation.
