To prevent molten salt freezing and blocking, electric heating is installed on the molten salt side pipeline, valves, pumps, flow meters, and the outside of the tested molten salt microchannel heat exchanger 1. At least 6 temperature measuring points (e.g., 2 on the top, bottom, and side) are set on the outer wall of the tested molten salt microchannel heat exchanger 1 to monitor the temperature of the outer wall of the heat exchanger in real time. When the temperature of the measuring point is lower than the melting point of the molten salt, the electric heating is automatically started. When the average temperature is higher than the melting point of the molten salt by 10°C, the electric heating is automatically turned off.
[0046] The control module in the test platform connects the sensors and controlled components in each circuit to realize parameter collection and state control. The collected parameters can be used to perform operations such as heat exchanger performance monitoring.
[0047] The working process of the molten salt microchannel heat exchanger performance test platform of this utility model is as follows:
[0048] Step 1: Before starting the test task, check the system status to ensure that all monitoring instruments, valves, etc. can operate normally.
[0049] Step 2: Preheat the test system: Run the electric heating system to heat the molten salt microchannel heat exchanger 1 under test and the valves, pumps, flow meters, molten salt side pipelines and other pipelines and equipment on the test platform; run the variable power resistance wire heater in the low-temperature molten salt tank 2 to heat the molten salt in the low-temperature molten salt tank 2 to a melting point above 10°C; the softened water supply device 18 passes the softened water into the steam-water electric heater 15 to heat it to high-temperature steam, and preheat the steam side pipeline.
[0050] Step 3: The molten salt stored in the low-temperature molten salt tank 2 is pumped into the main pipeline, enters the high-temperature molten salt tank 6 after passing through the molten salt preheater 4, and is stored in the high-temperature molten salt tank 6 in small quantities. The molten salt flow rate is automatically adjusted according to the liquid level height of the high-temperature molten salt tank 6.
[0051] Step 4: The variable power resistance wire heater built into the high temperature molten salt tank 6 heats the molten salt to the set temperature, and then pumps it into the molten salt side of the tested molten salt microchannel heat exchanger 1. The steam-water electric heater 15 heats the softened water into steam and passes it into the steam side of the tested molten salt microchannel heat exchanger 1.
[0052] Step 5: Open the steam inlet stop valve 11 of the molten salt preheater, operate the molten salt preheater 4, and realize heat transfer from high-temperature steam to low-temperature molten salt; operate the steam-water-oil heat exchanger 14, transfer part of the steam heat and store it in the thermal oil, control the thermal oil regulating valve 22 to adjust the flow rate, and control the steam outlet temperature of the steam-water-oil heat exchanger 14.
[0053] Step 6: Control the opening of the molten salt regulating valve 7 and the softened water regulating valve 19 according to the readings of the molten salt flow meter 104 and the steam flow meter 112 to maintain the inlet flow rates of the molten salt side and the steam side of the molten salt microchannel heat exchanger 1 under test unchanged.
[0054] Step 7: When the test platform runs stably, record the flow rate, temperature, pressure difference and other readings at the inlet and outlet of the molten salt side and the steam side of the tested molten salt microchannel heat exchanger 1, and conduct performance test.
[0055] Step 8: After the system has been running stably for a period of time, the built-in molten salt pumps, thermal oil supply device 21, and softened water supply device 18 of the high-temperature molten salt tank 6 and the low-temperature molten salt tank 2 are turned off in turn, and the steam drain valve 17 set on the thermal oil heat storage loop is opened to discharge the high-temperature steam in the pipeline; then, high-temperature nitrogen is introduced into the molten salt side of the molten salt microchannel heat exchanger 1 to blow out the residual molten salt in the channel to prevent the molten salt from condensing and blocking the channel. The drain operation is turned on after the thermal oil supply system is turned off, so that the high-temperature steam in the water vapor loop is discharged and no longer circulates into the heat exchanger to be tested.
[0056] Step 9: After the system stops for a period of time, operate the softened water supply device 18 and the heat transfer oil supply device 21, and pass the softened water and heat transfer oil into the steam-water-oil heat exchanger 14. The purpose is to use the heat stored in the heat transfer oil to heat the softened water to a steam state, and preheat the steam pipeline and the heat exchanger to be tested. When the steam temperature is low, operate the steam-water electric heater 15 to heat the steam.
