[0021] The cooling medium distribution system 1 comprises a main pipe 101, one end of the main pipe 101 is communicated with the turbine high-temperature cooling liquid outlet, the other end of the main pipe 101 is connected with a flow divider 102, and the flow divider 102 is connected with a staged heat exchange subsystem 2. The one end of the main pipe 101 is in close communication with the turbine high-temperature cooling liquid outlet, so that the cooling liquid flowing out of the turbine high-temperature part can smoothly enter the cooling device; the other end is stably connected with the flow divider 102, and the cooling liquid is transported to the flow divider 102. The flow divider 102 is connected with the staged heat exchange subsystem 2, and a path for the cooling liquid to enter different heat exchange regions is provided. The flow divider 102 accurately distributes the cooling liquid to different channels of the staged heat exchange subsystem 2 according to different proportions, so that the cooling demand under different working conditions is accurately matched. When the turbine operates to generate high-temperature cooling liquid, the cooling liquid quickly flows to the flow divider 102 through the main pipe 101. The flow divider 102 adjusts the opening degree according to this, and distributes the cooling liquid flow to different channels of the staged heat exchange subsystem 2.
[0022] The staged heat exchange subsystem 2 comprises a first channel 201, a second channel 202, a first return channel 203 and a second return channel 204. The first channel 201 and the second channel 202 are communicated with the flow divider 102. The first channel 201 is communicated with a high-temperature layer cooling area 205. The first return channel 203 is communicated with the high-temperature layer cooling area 205, and one end of the first return channel 203 is communicated with a main engine.

The first channel 201 and the second channel 202 are connected with the flow divider 102, and receive the cooling liquid distributed by the flow divider 102. The high-temperature cooling liquid passes through the first channel 201 to the high-temperature layer cooling area 205, so that the cooling liquid enters the high-temperature layer cooling area 205 for heat exchange. One end of the first return channel 203 is communicated with the high-temperature layer cooling area 205, and the other end is communicated with the main engine. The cooling liquid after heat exchange in the high-temperature layer cooling area 205 is returned to the main engine. The low-temperature cooling liquid passes through the second channel 202 to the low-temperature layer cooling area 206, and transports the cooling liquid to the low-temperature layer cooling area 206. The cooling liquid is cooled in the low-temperature layer cooling area 206. One end of the second return channel 204 is connected with the low-temperature layer cooling area 206, and the other end is connected with the inlet of a recovery pump 301 in the liquid storage structure 3. The recovery pump 301 transports the cooling liquid after low-temperature layer cooling to the liquid storage structure 3.
[0023] The high-temperature layer cooling area 205 and the low-temperature layer cooling area 206 are stacked one above the other, and a heat-conducting partition plate is arranged between the high-temperature layer cooling area 205 and the low-temperature layer cooling area 206.

The cooling liquid forms turbulent flow between the S-shaped baffles, the titanium alloy is resistant to corrosion and suitable for seawater cooling medium, the distance between the baffles is 15 mm, and the contact time of the cooling liquid with seawater is increased.
[0025] The high-temperature layer cooling area 205 is provided with a spiral flow channel which is integrally formed of copper-aluminum alloy. The spiral flow channel can prolong the residence time to 2-3 times of that of a conventional straight pipe, and the copper-aluminum alloy can quickly dissipate heat by transferring heat from the high-temperature layer cooling area 205 to the low-temperature layer cooling area 206 through the heat-conducting partition.
[0026] The control unit 4 comprises a temperature sensor 401 and a PLC controller 402. The temperature sensor 401 is arranged on the main pipeline 101 and connected to the PLC controller 402, and the PLC controller 402 is connected to the shunt valve 102. The temperature sensor 401 is installed on the main pipeline 101 of the cooling medium distribution system 1 and monitors the temperature of the cooling liquid in real time. The temperature sensor 401 is connected to the PLC controller 402 through a signal line and transmits temperature data to the PLC controller 402. The PLC controller 402 has an algorithm built-in and can predictively adjust the valve opening according to the temperature change rate (dT / dt). The PLC controller 402 is connected to the shunt valve 102 through a control line and controls the shunt valve 102. The temperature sensor 401 continuously monitors the temperature of the cooling liquid in the main pipeline 101. Once the temperature changes, the temperature sensor 401 immediately converts the temperature data into an electrical signal and transmits it to the PLC controller 402 through a signal line. The PLC controller 402 analyzes and processes the received data. When it is determined that the engine is in a low-load state (temperature T≤75℃), the PLC controller 402 sends a command to the shunt valve 102 to make the shunt valve guide 80% of the cooling liquid to the second passage 202 corresponding to the low-temperature layer cooling area 206 and only 20% to the first passage 201 corresponding to the high-temperature layer cooling area 205.
[0027] When it is in a medium-load state (75℃<T≤100℃), the shunt valve is instructed to distribute the flow in a ratio of 5:5, 50% of the flow enters the first passage 201 corresponding to the high-temperature layer cooling area 205, and 50% enters the second passage 202 corresponding to the low-temperature layer cooling area 206.
[0028] When it is in a high-load state (T>100℃), the shunt valve is controlled to make 70% of the flow enter the first passage 201 corresponding to the high-temperature layer cooling area 205 and 30% enter the second passage 202 corresponding to the low-temperature layer cooling area 206.
[0029] The liquid storage structure 3 comprises a recovery pump 301, the inlet of the recovery pump 301 is communicated with the second return channel 204, the outlet of the recovery pump 301 is connected with a third pipeline 302, and the third pipeline 302 is connected with a liquid storage tank 303. The recovery pump 301 provides power for the return flow of the cooling liquid, so that the cooling liquid can continuously and stably return from the low-temperature layer cooling area 206 to the liquid storage tank 303 through the second return channel 204 and the third pipeline 302. The liquid storage tank 303 is used for storing the cooled cooling liquid, providing a cooling liquid reserve for the whole cooling system, and ensuring that the system can continuously and stably operate. The liquid storage tank 303 is provided with a spiral pre-cooling pipe, which is in contact with the outer wall of the first return channel 203 to realize pre-cooling.
[0030] The surface of the heat-conducting partition plate is sprayed with an Al2O3-SiO2 nano ceramic coating. The Al2O3-SiO2 nano ceramic coating sprayed on the surface of the heat-conducting partition plate not only improves the comprehensive thermal conductivity of the heat-conducting partition plate, but also effectively prevents the corrosion of corrosive media such as seawater on the partition plate, thereby prolonging the service life of the device.
[0031] Effects of the embodiment

Once the temperature changes, the temperature sensor 401 immediately converts the temperature data into an electrical signal and transmits it to the PLC controller 402 through the signal line. The PLC controller 402 analyzes and processes the received data. When it is determined that the engine is in a low-load state (temperature T≤75℃), the PLC controller 402 sends a command to the flow divider valve 102, so that the flow divider valve directs 80% of the cooling liquid to the second channel 202 corresponding to the low-temperature layer cooling area 206, and only 20% enters the first channel 201 corresponding to the high-temperature layer cooling area 205. When it is in a medium-load state (75℃<T≤100℃), the command flow divider valve distributes the flow in a ratio of 5:5. When it is in a high-load state (T>100℃), the control flow divider valve makes 70% of the flow enter the first channel 201 corresponding to the high-temperature layer cooling area 205, and 30% enter the second channel 202 corresponding to the low-temperature layer cooling area 206.
[0033] The cooling liquid entering the high-temperature layer cooling area 205 exchanges heat in the high-temperature layer cooling area 205 and returns to the main engine.
[0034] The cooling liquid entering the low-temperature layer cooling area 206 is cooled in the low-temperature layer cooling area 206. The recovery pump 301 provides power for the return flow of the cooling liquid, so that the cooling liquid can continuously and stably return from the low-temperature layer cooling area 206 to the liquid storage tank 303 through the second return channel 204 and the third pipeline 302.
