Magnetic pole driving cooling system and method for while-drilling instrument circuit system
Technical Field
The invention relates to a circuit cooling system and a circuit cooling method, belongs to the technical field of drilling, and particularly relates to a magnetic pole driving cooling system and a magnetic pole driving cooling method for a circuit system of an instrument while drilling.
Background
The formation of oil and gas well boreholes is produced by the rotation of a drill string to drive a drill bit or a downhole power drill to drive the drill bit to cut underground rock formations, and the drill bit and downhole tools are required to extend thousands of meters into the borehole.
In order to mitigate risk factors associated with drilling operations during drilling, it is desirable to obtain as much of the information of the downhole environment as possible, such as: geological parameters, engineering parameters, process parameters, etc. The near-bit attachment at the bottom of the drill string is therefore equipped with various measuring tools, such as: measurement While Drilling (MWD) and Logging While Drilling (LWD). The circuitry on these tools includes various electronic or sensing elements to perform the functions of data acquisition, processing, storage, and transmission. These downhole circuits themselves generate heat during operation; meanwhile, the high temperature in the well during the drilling process can also affect the well.
In general, there are two modes of high Wen Youfa circuitry failure. First, thermal stress on the circuitry reduces its useful life; second, when the temperature reaches a threshold, the circuitry fails and stops operating. Failure caused by overheating not only results in increased costs by replacement of the failed circuitry, but also interrupts the drilling activity, requiring tripping to replace the circuitry, which also consumes drilling time and increases drilling costs.
Currently, there are three approaches for solving the problem of high temperature resistance of underground circuits in the petroleum industry: firstly, screening out components which can be used at high temperature through high-temperature examination; secondly, customizing a Gao Wenyuan-resistant device; thirdly, a huge amount of expenses are invested, and high-temperature-resistant underground circuits are independently researched and developed. The measures are all to solve the problems from the point of passive 'temperature resistance' of the components and parts, and the high temperature resistance effect is limited; meanwhile, the high-temperature packaging technology of components is still a bottleneck problem.
Therefore, it is important and highly desirable to provide an efficient and stable active cooling system for downhole circuitry.

The working principle of the present embodiment is specifically described below.
In the drilling process, the drilling fluid enters the eccentric water hole 1 with the cooling system through the water hole of the last drill rod, and when the drilling fluid flowing at high speed flows through the fixed turbine 5, the flow direction of the drilling fluid is changed due to a certain included angle between the upper blades of the fixed turbine and the flow direction of the drilling fluid; the drilling fluid with changed flow direction washes the blades on the movable turbine 7 with a certain included angle with the flow direction, so that the movable turbine 7 can start to rotate by hydraulic power, and the rotating shaft 10 fixed on the movable turbine 7 also rotates together; the rotary shaft 10 is fixed with a first expansion cylinder magnetic pole 9 and a first compression cylinder magnetic pole 11, which interact with a second expansion cylinder magnetic pole 28 and a second compression cylinder magnetic pole 21 respectively, so that an expansion piston (a built-in regenerator) 25 and a compression piston 23 sequentially extend, and then sequentially return under the action of an expansion piston return spring 29 and a compression piston return spring 22; the interval between the sequential extension and the resetting is determined by the phase angle of the expansion cavity leading the compression cavity; each time the rotation shaft 10 rotates, the expansion piston 25 and the compression piston 23 are respectively extended and reset once; due to the continuous circulation of the drilling fluid, the rotary shaft 10 is always in a rotary state, and the expansion piston 25 and the compression piston 23 periodically perform reciprocating linear motions of extension and reset; meanwhile, the expansion piston (built-in regenerator) 25 and the compression piston 23 are designed according to the reverse Stirling cycle, and the motion law is shown by a pressure-capacity diagram of the reverse Stirling cycle in FIG. 8 and a temperature-entropy diagram of the reverse Stirling cycle in FIG. 9, so that thermodynamic refrigeration cycle processes of isothermal compression (S1-S2), isothermal heat release (S2-S3), isothermal expansion (S3-S4) and isothermal heat absorption (S4-S1) are sequentially completed.
During isothermal compression (S1-S2), the stroke of the compression piston 23 is gradually increased from 0, while the expansion piston (built-in regenerator) 25 is kept stationary, so that the working fluid gas is isothermally compressed; the designed isothermal process is realized by absorbing heat generated by compression through the drill collar body 4 connected with the compression cylinder 13 through the cylinder wall, and then carrying away the heat by heat exchange between the drilling fluid flowing at high speed and the drill collar body 4; in the process, the temperature of the point 1 is equal to the temperature of the point 2, the pressure of the point 1 is smaller than the pressure of the point 2, and the volume of the point 1 is larger than the volume of the point 2;
in the process of isovolumetric heat release (S2-S3), the compression piston 23 and the expansion piston (built-in heat regenerator) 25 move together, the stroke of the compression piston 23 is gradually maximized, the stroke of the expansion piston (built-in heat regenerator) 25 is gradually increased from 0, and the working medium gas sequentially passes through the separating tube 14, the ambient temperature cavity 26 and the expansion piston (built-in heat regenerator) 25 from the compression cavity 19 and enters the expansion cavity 30, and in the process, the total volume of the working medium gas is kept unchanged but passes through the expansion piston
When the regenerator 25 is built in, the heat of the working medium gas is absorbed by the regenerator packing, so that the pressure and the temperature of the working medium gas entering the expansion cavity 30 are reduced; the process belongs to an internal heat exchange process and is irrelevant to the energy consumption of the whole cycle; in this process, the temperature at point 2 is greater than the temperature at point 3, the pressure at point 2 is greater than the pressure at point 3, and the volume at point 2 is equal to the volume at point 3;
in the isothermal expansion (S3-S4) process, the compression piston 23 is kept stationary at the maximum stroke, the stroke of the expansion piston (the built-in regenerator) 25 gradually reaches the maximum, and the working medium gas expands in the expansion cavity 30, so that the volume of the working medium gas increases, the pressure drops, the temperature of the working medium gas is lower than the ambient temperature, and heat is absorbed from the circuit system contacted with the working medium gas to maintain isothermal expansion; in this process, the temperature at 3 points is equal to the temperature at 4 points, the pressure at 3 points is higher than the pressure at 4 points, and the volume at 3 points is smaller than the volume at 4 points;
in the process of isovolumetric heat absorption (S4-S1), the compression piston 23 and the expansion piston (built-in heat regenerator) 25 move together and return to 0 position from the maximum stroke, and the working medium gas sequentially passes through the expansion piston (built-in heat regenerator) 25, the ambient temperature cavity 26 and the split pipe 14 from the expansion cavity 30 and enters the compression cavity 19, and the total volume of the working medium gas is kept unchanged in the process, but when the working medium gas passes through the expansion piston (built-in heat regenerator) 25, the low-temperature working medium gas absorbs the heat of the heat regenerator filler, so that the pressure and the temperature of the working medium gas entering the compression cavity 19 are increased; the process also belongs to an internal heat exchange process and is irrelevant to the energy consumption of the whole cycle; in this process, the temperature at point 4 is lower than the temperature at point 1, the pressure at point 4 is lower than the pressure at point 1, and the volume at point 4 is equal to the volume at point 1;
the circuit system 16 is fixed at the end of the expansion chamber 30 through thermal design, and through the four refrigeration cycle processes, the expansion chamber 30 continuously absorbs heat of the circuit system 16, so that the circuit system 16 is prevented from shortening the service life or losing efficacy.
The invention uses the piston to apply expansion action to the circulating working medium in the cylinder, so that the volume of the circulating working medium is increased, the pressure is reduced, the temperature is reduced, the circulating working medium has heat absorption capacity, and the temperature of a downhole circuit connected with the circulating working medium is reduced. The expansion cylinder and the compression cylinder are designed according to the reverse Stirling cycle principle, and the combined action of the turbine rotating device and the magnetic pole driving device is utilized to realize four refrigeration cycle processes of isothermal compression, isovolumetric heat release, isothermal expansion and isovolumetric heat absorption of a circulating working medium, so that the heat on a circuit system is absorbed by an expansion cavity, the heat is transferred into a compression cavity, and the heat is further released into the environment, thereby reducing the temperature of the circuit system, and avoiding the phenomena of shortening the service life or losing efficacy.
