[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat exchanger plate pair processing production test, in particular to a nuclear power welded plate heat exchanger plate pair grouping air pressure test tool. Background Art
[0002] At present, a welded plate heat exchanger suitable for the cooling of spent fuel pools and heat removal of processing systems in pressurized water reactor nuclear power plants has been widely used. It can replace the original detachable plate heat exchanger with its advantages of high nuclear safety, low failure maintenance rate, no nuclear waste, high pressure and high temperature resistance, and small footprint. The core heat exchange component of this welded plate heat exchanger is the heat exchange core, which is welded by multiple bundles of heat exchange plate pairs, and the heat exchange plate pairs are formed by laser welding of two heat exchange plates.
[0003] In order to ensure the laser weld strength and sealing performance of each group of heat exchange plate pairs before the heat exchange core is assembled and welded, it is necessary to perform an air pressure test on the heat exchanger plate pairs. For example, the patent publication number is: CN 217275755 U, which discloses a universal rapid internal leakage detection device for welded plate heat exchangers, including a water pressure test device, a hydraulic pipe with a gate valve and a pressure gauge is installed at the outlet of the water pressure test device, and the other end of the hydraulic pipe is sealed and passed through the hydraulic pipe holes on the head and tail sections of the rubber sleeve provided in the input pipe flange and is fixed in the rubber sleeve, and the hydraulic pipe extends out of the tail end of the rubber sleeve and enters the heat exchanger flow channel.
[0004] During the test, the patent tests whether the pressure can be maintained after water pressure is injected into one side of the welded plate heat exchanger. However, during the test, the installation position needs to be constantly changed to determine the specific location of the internal leakage defect. This is cumbersome and the test efficiency is low. In addition, the sealing position of the edge of the heat exchanger plate is irregular, which makes it difficult to seal. If the seal is not tight, test errors will occur, and the readiness of the test cannot be ensured. Therefore, this application provides a tooling structure for grouping air pressure tests on welded plate heat exchangers for nuclear power. Utility Model Content
