Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of nuclear power, in particular to a flow detection device for a heater of a ventilation system of a nuclear power plant. Background Art

[0002] In the ventilation system of a nuclear power plant, the heater needs to be designed with a protection function to prevent dry burning of the heater in the absence of ventilation, which can burn the heater body and cause equipment damage. In addition, it is also to avoid the risk of fire caused by high temperature. The protection design of the heater in the ventilation system of a nuclear power plant is generally divided into flow protection and temperature protection. The flow protection uses a switch to determine whether the flow in the air duct is lower than the design value and gives an alarm to control the start and stop of the heater.

[0003] At present, a nuclear power plant uses F62AA-9C and F262KDH-01C baffle flow switches. The wind pressure in the air duct acts on the baffle, and the displacement of the baffle acts on the micro switch through the transmission rod. When the wind speed is greater than the set value, the micro switch output is reset, indicating that the wind speed is not low; when the wind speed is lower than the set value, the baffle returns to a state close to the initial state under the action of the reset spring, and the micro switch output is set, indicating that the wind speed is low.

[0004] During the application process, the following problems were found in the flapper flow switch: (1) The product failure rate is high. According to SAP data, the flow switch has been replaced 26 times. 8 times were due to flap breakage (installation time ranged from 53D to 2592D), and 18 times were due to set value drift. (2) Inaccurate measurement. (3) Unable to calibrate: There is no domestic organization that can calibrate the set value of this type of instrument.

[0005] Problems (1) and (2) result in the inability to effectively protect the heater, which in turn affects the stable operation of the ventilation system of the nuclear power plant. Problem (3) makes the baffle flow switch inconvenient to calibrate, poor in convenience, and high in cost. Utility Model Content

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 3 The utility model shows a flow detection device for a heater of a ventilation system of a nuclear power plant, comprising a mounting base 10 mounted on an air duct 100 and communicating with the inner cavity of the air duct 100, and a pyroelectric flowmeter 20 detachably mounted on the mounting base 10; the pyroelectric flowmeter 20 comprises a body 21, a mounting portion 22 connected to the body 21, and a probe 23 connected to the body 21, the probe 23 extends into the inner cavity of the air duct 100, and the outer periphery of the mounting portion 22 is provided with an external thread.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the mounting seat 10 includes at least one nut seat 11, and the inner cavity of the nut seat 11 is provided with an internal thread matching the external thread. Figure 2As shown, the mounting base 10 may include a first mounting tube 12 and a second mounting tube 13. The first mounting tube 12 is fixed on the air duct 100, and the inner cavity of the first mounting tube 12 is connected to the inner cavity of the air duct 100. The outer diameter of the second mounting tube 13 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first mounting tube 12. The inner wall surface of the second mounting tube 13 is provided with an inner thread matching the outer thread. The first mounting tube 12 is provided with a through hole 121 along the height direction for the fastener 30 to pass through to tighten the outer side surface of the second mounting tube 13, so that the relative height of the first mounting tube 12 and the second mounting tube 13 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height position of the thermal flowmeter 20, thereby improving the applicability of the flow detection device of the heater of the ventilation system of the nuclear power plant.

[0028] The pyroelectric flowmeter 20 can determine the flow rate in the air duct 100 by the fluid temperature. By measuring the flow rate in the air duct 100, it can determine whether the heater has a risk of dry burning according to the fluid temperature. When the heater has a risk of dry burning, the heater can be shut down to protect the heater.

[0029] By using the pyroelectric flowmeter 20 in combination with the mounting base 10, the problems of high product failure rate, inaccurate measurement, and inability to calibrate existing in the original flap-type flow switch can be avoided.

[0030] Preferably, the pyroelectric flowmeter 20 can be selected as model SA4300. Of course, the pyroelectric flowmeter 20 can also select a suitable signal according to actual needs, which is not specifically limited here.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the number of the nut seats 11 is two, the two nut seats 11 are axially stacked together, and the two nut seats 11 are coaxially arranged. The inner cavities of the two nut seats 11 are connected, and the inner cavities of the two nut seats 11 can be provided with internal threads, or one of the nut seats 11 is provided with internal threads, while the other nut seat 11 is not provided with internal threads. For example, the nut seat 11 close to the air duct 100 is not provided with internal threads, while the nut seat 11 away from the air duct 100 can be provided with internal threads. Preferably, the nut seat 11 can be made of stainless steel, for example, 316L stainless steel. In some embodiments, the number of the nut seats 11 can also be three, four or any other number, which is not specifically limited here.

[0032] In some embodiments, the two nut seats 11 are welded and fixed. The nut seats 11 can be welded and fixed to the outer periphery of the measuring port of the air duct 100 .

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the through holes 121 may be arranged at intervals along the axial direction and the circumferential direction of the first mounting cylinder 12, so that the first mounting cylinder 12 and the second mounting cylinder 13 can have a larger adjustment range after being matched with each other. Preferably, the through holes 121 may be threaded holes.

[0034] The circumferential outer side surface of the second mounting tube 13 is provided with a plurality of limit grooves 131 along the height direction for the end of the fastener 30 to be inserted therein. The limit grooves 131 may be threaded grooves, and the plurality of limit grooves 131 may be arranged at intervals along the axial and circumferential directions of the second mounting tube 13, so that the second mounting tube 13 may have a larger adjustment range.

[0035] In some embodiments, the fastener 30 includes, but is not limited to, a bolt, a screw, or a latch.

[0036] In some embodiments, a convex portion 132 extends outwardly from the circumferential outer surface of the upper end of the second mounting tube 13, and the outer diameter of the convex portion 132 is larger than the inner diameter of the first mounting tube 12. This prevents the second mounting tube 13 from falling into the first mounting tube 12, making the second mounting tube 13 safe to use.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first installation tube 12 and the second installation tube 13 are both made of stainless steel, for example, they can be made of stainless steel material. The first installation tube 12 and the second installation tube 13 can both be cylindrical structures.

[0038] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the first mounting tube 12 is provided with a scale along the height direction. The zero point of the scale can be set at the top, and the values ​​gradually increase from top to bottom, or the zero point of the scale can be set at the bottom, and the values ​​gradually increase from bottom to top. The scale is set to understand the adjustment range of the first mounting tube 12.

[0039] Since the end of the probe 23 (or the probe rod) of the pyroelectric flowmeter 20 cannot contact the inner wall surface of the air duct 100, the use of a mounting base 10 with an adjustable overall height dimension can facilitate the adjustment of the installation position of the pyroelectric flowmeter 20, which has better applicability.

[0040] In some embodiments, the flow detection device for the heater of the ventilation system of a nuclear power plant further includes an industrial computer (not shown) connected to the pyroelectric flowmeter 20, and the industrial computer may include but is not limited to a PLC industrial computer. Furthermore, the industrial computer is connected to the pyroelectric flowmeter 20 via a four-core cable, and the length of the four-core cable may be extended by a connector. Preferably, the industrial computer can be connected to the heater, and the industrial computer can adjust the working state of the heater according to the pyroelectric flowmeter 20. For example, when the pyroelectric flowmeter 20 detects an abnormal fluid temperature, the industrial computer can control the heater to shut down. Of course, it can be manually shut down by staff, which is not specifically limited here.

[0041] It can be understood that the flow detection device of the heater of the ventilation system of the nuclear power plant includes a mounting base 10 and a pyroelectric flowmeter 20. The pyroelectric flowmeter 20 is installed on the air duct 100 through the mounting base 10. The pyroelectric flowmeter 20 can judge the flow rate in the air duct 100 by the fluid temperature. By measuring the flow rate in the air duct 100, it can judge whether the heater has a dry burning risk according to the fluid temperature. When the heater has a dry burning risk, the heater can be shut down to protect the heater. The flow detection device of the heater of the ventilation system of the nuclear power plant has high stability and high measurement accuracy, and can be calibrated and tested domestically, which is more convenient. Ultimately, the stability of the operation of the ventilation system of the nuclear power plant can be improved.

[0042] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the utility model, the above-mentioned technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the utility model should fall within the scope of the claims of the utility model.
