Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric heating element technology, specifically to a steam electric heating pipeline device for nuclear reactor simulation experiments. Background Technology
[0002] With traditional resources facing gradual depletion, nuclear power generation is becoming increasingly promising. Nuclear power research, particularly in simulating nuclear reactor tests, requires the use of high-temperature steam to simulate the steam and power conversion system.
[0003] In existing technologies, water is typically heated into steam first, then the steam is heated to the required temperature before being piped to the testing apparatus for experimentation. However, this method is prone to temperature loss during steam transport, resulting in insufficient steam temperature and pressure reaching the testing apparatus, thus affecting the test results. Currently, a common solution is to install an electric heating element inside the steam pipe at the connection point with the testing apparatus to heat the steam and ensure the temperature meets the requirements. However, the electric heating element is inconvenient to install, and its presence can obstruct steam flow, leading to pressure loss, which also affects the test results.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art need to consider designing a steam electric heating pipeline device for nuclear reactor simulation experiments that can better reduce the impact on the experiment and better ensure the experimental results. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to provide a steam electric heating pipe device for nuclear reactor simulation test that can better reduce the impact on the test and better ensure the test effect.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A steam electric heating pipe device for nuclear reactor simulation test includes a steam flow pipe, characterized in that the steam flow pipe is a metal pipe, and a connecting electrode is fixedly installed on the side of each end of the metal pipe near the end, and a thermocouple device is also installed at the outlet end of the metal pipe.
[0008] In this way, the metal tube can be heated by energizing the connecting electrodes, and the steam passing through it can be directly heated by the metal tube. Thermocouple devices at the steam outlet of the steam flow pipe detect and ensure that the heating temperature reaches the required level before outputting the steam. This achieves both heating of the steam to ensure the required temperature for the test and avoids pressure loss due to obstruction of steam flow, thus minimizing the impact on the test and ensuring the test results. In specific implementation, the connecting electrodes are connected to the power supply via a current control device. The thermocouple is connected to the current control device and feeds back the temperature signal to the current controller to adjust the current magnitude, thereby adjusting the heat output of the metal tube and achieving the aforementioned automatic control of the steam temperature at the outlet.
[0009] Furthermore, the metal tube is a straight tube.
[0010] This ensures better heating performance.
[0011] Furthermore, the connecting electrode is made of metal material, and its overall shape is a rectangular plate with a connecting hole in the middle, which is welded and fixed to one side of the metal tube.
[0012] This facilitates the connection between the electrodes and the power supply line, and enables the conduction of a larger current.
[0013] Furthermore, a tee connector is also connected to the metal tube outlet, and a detection tube is connected to the side interface of the tee connector, on which the thermocouple device is installed.
[0014] This facilitates the installation of thermocouples and ensures that the thermocouples themselves do not obstruct the flow of steam or cause pressure loss, thus better reducing the impact on the test and guaranteeing the test results.
[0015] Furthermore, a threaded straight-through union is welded to each end of the metal tube.
[0016] This makes it easier to install and use the device itself.
[0017] In summary, this invention can heat steam before it enters the nuclear reactor simulation test device, ensuring that the temperature meets the test requirements, and can better reduce the impact on the test, thus better ensuring the test results. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] In practical implementation: such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a steam electric heating pipeline device for nuclear reactor simulation test includes a steam flow pipeline. The steam flow pipeline is a metal pipe 1, and a connecting electrode 2 is fixedly installed on the side of each end of the metal pipe 1 near the end. A thermocouple device 3 is also installed at the outlet end of the metal pipe.
[0022] In this way, the metal tube can be heated by energizing the connecting electrodes, and the steam passing through it can be directly heated by the metal tube. Thermocouple devices at the steam outlet of the steam flow pipe detect and ensure that the heating temperature reaches the required level before outputting the steam. This achieves both heating of the steam to ensure the required temperature for the test and avoids pressure loss due to obstruction of steam flow, thus minimizing the impact on the test and ensuring the test results. In specific implementation, the connecting electrodes are connected to the power supply via a current control device. The thermocouple is connected to the current control device and feeds back the temperature signal to the current controller to adjust the current magnitude, thereby adjusting the heat output of the metal tube and achieving the aforementioned automatic control of the steam temperature at the outlet.
[0023] The metal tube 1 is a straight tube.
[0024] This ensures better heating performance.
[0025] The connecting electrode 2 is made of metal and is a rectangular plate with a connecting hole 4 in the middle, which is welded and fixed to one side of the metal tube.
[0026] This facilitates the connection between the electrodes and the power supply line, and enables the conduction of a larger current.
[0027] A tee connector 5 is also connected to the metal tube outlet. A detection tube 6 is connected to the side interface of the tee connector 5, and the thermocouple device 3 is installed on the detection tube 6.
[0028] This facilitates the installation of thermocouples and ensures that the thermocouples themselves do not obstruct the flow of steam or cause pressure loss, thus better reducing the impact on the test and guaranteeing the test results.
[0029] Among them, a threaded straight-through union 7 is welded and fixed at each end of the metal pipe 1.
[0030] This makes it easier to install and use the device itself.
