Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of auxiliary facilities for steam generators, and specifically relates to an auxiliary heating device for an electric heating wire of a steam generator. Background Technology

[0002] Sodium-cooled fast reactors use metallic sodium as a coolant. The melting point of metallic sodium is 97.72℃. In order to keep the sodium medium in sodium-related equipment in a fluid state, an auxiliary heating device needs to be installed on the outer surface of the equipment for heating.

[0003] In existing technologies, sodium-cooled fast reactor pipelines and equipment are generally fixed to the surface of the pipelines and equipment by spot welding with pressure plates. However, this method is not suitable for steam generators. Currently, it is also possible to fix the electric heating wire to the steam generator with insulated keel clamps. However, this method is prone to dry burning of the electric heating wire near the clamps, and there is a risk of damage to the electric heating wire during long-term operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model proposes an auxiliary heating device for the electric heating wire of a steam generator, which solves the problem of uneven heating and dry burning of the electric heating wire caused by the method of fixing the auxiliary heating device of the steam generator by the heat-insulating keel clamp in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model:

[0006] This utility model proposes an auxiliary heating device for an electric heating wire of a steam generator. The device includes several heat-conducting layers, an electric heating wire, and a pressure plate. Two heat-conducting layers form a group, and the two ends of a group of heat-conducting layers are fixedly connected. One side of the heat-conducting layer is wrapped tightly around the surface of the steam generator, and the electric heating wire is provided on the other side of the heat-conducting layer. The electric heating wire is fixed to the heat-conducting layer by spot welding through the pressure plate.

[0007] In some embodiments, the heat-conducting layer is made of stainless steel, has a thickness of 1.2 mm, completely covers the steam generator, and is divided into 7-10 groups according to the height of the steam generator.

[0008] In some embodiments, the surface of the heat-conducting layer is provided with a plurality of holes, the holes being rectangular holes with a size of 20mm × 500mm, the holes reducing the mass of the heat-conducting layer.

[0009] In some embodiments, the distance between holes and between holes and the edge of the heat-conducting layer is greater than 50 mm.

[0010] In some embodiments, the total mass of all heat-conducting layers does not exceed 150 kg to prevent overloading of the steam generator.

[0011] In some embodiments, the heating wire is arranged in a serpentine pattern on the surface of the heat-conducting layer to increase the contact area between the heating wire and the heat-conducting layer.

[0012] In some embodiments, the electric heating wire is fixed by spot welding with stainless steel pressure plates every 100 mm in the straight section.

[0013] In some embodiments, the two ends of a set of thermally conductive layers are fixedly connected by a clamp.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention proposes an auxiliary heating device for the electric heating wire of a steam generator. By installing the electric heating wire on the heat-conducting layer, this invention solves the problem of the electric heating wire being unable to be installed in the steam generator. There is no gap between the electric heating wire and the heat-conducting layer, and between the heat-conducting layer and the steam generator, which facilitates better heat conduction from the heating wire to the steam generator. The perforated surface of the heat-conducting layer greatly reduces its weight and solves the problem of excessive load on the steam generator. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model proposes an auxiliary heating device for an electric heating wire of a steam generator. The device includes several heat-conducting layers 2, an electric heating wire 3, and a pressing plate 4.

[0022] like Figure 2As shown, two heat-conducting layers 2 form a group, with both ends of the two heat-conducting layers 2 fixed by pipe clamps. The heat-conducting layers 2 are tightly attached to the surface of the steam generator 1. The heat-conducting layers 2 are made according to the external dimensions of the steam generator 1 and are made of stainless steel, with a thickness of 1.2mm. Since the steam generator 1 generally includes an upper end cap, a middle straight pipe section, and a lower end cap, and its length exceeds 20m, to facilitate the installation of the heat-conducting layers 2, the steam generator 1 can be divided into 7-10 sections from top to bottom. Each section is equipped with a group of heat-conducting layers 2. Each group of heat-conducting layers 2 needs to be tightly attached to the equipment. The diameter of each group of heat-conducting layers 2 is the same as that of the steam generator 1, and the total height of all groups of heat-conducting layers 2 is the same as that of the steam generator 1.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, holes were drilled and weighed on the surface of the heat-conducting layer 2. The number and form of the holes are as follows. Figure 3 As shown, each hole 5 is recommended to be a rectangle with a size of 20mm × 500mm. The distance between holes 5 and between holes 5 and the edge of the heat-conducting layer 2 should be greater than 50mm to ensure that the heat-conducting layer 2 has sufficient strength. The drilling method is not unique, but the total weight of all heat-conducting layers 2 should not exceed 150KG to prevent the steam generator 1 from being overloaded.

[0024] An electric heating wire 3 is provided on the surface of the heat-conducting layer 2, and the electric heating wire 3 is fixed to the heat-conducting layer 2 by spot welding. The electric heating wire 3 is evenly arranged in a serpentine pattern along the heat-conducting layer 2, and is fixed by spot welding with a stainless steel pressure plate 4 every 100 mm in the straight position.

[0025] This utility model proposes an auxiliary heating device for the electric heating wire of a steam generator. A test simulation of a steam generator 1 has been fabricated at a nuclear power plant site. Stainless steel sheet and electric heating wire 3 are installed according to this scheme. After the electric heating wire 3 is energized, the simulation is heated to 500°C. The electric heating wire 3 is operating well. After confirmation by the design department, it will be officially used on the unit in the future.

[0026] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. This utility model is not limited to the above examples. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this utility model.
