Therefore, it is necessary to develop a quick and effective leak detection scheme to determine the position of the inner pipe leak hole so as to timely remedy when the equipment is shut down, so that the vacuum heat insulation pipeline reaches the normal use level, and the huge loss of a low-temperature system is avoided.

It should be noted that, the principle of from top to bottom, from far to near, and slow moving speed is usually adopted in the suction gun leak detection, and when the suction gun moves to a real leak point, the signal of the helium mass spectrometer leak detector 4 is obviously enhanced. In order to shorten the leakage detection time, the suction gun is a shorter suction gun hose, such as a metal hose or a plastic hose.
After the actual leakage point is found, the leak hole can be repaired. After the repair is finished, the internal pipeline is filled with helium with high concentration and high pressure (the helium concentration is more than or equal to 50 percent, and the pressure is more than or equal to 2 bar) for leak detection. And (3) firstly, a suction gun leakage detection method is adopted for detection, and when suspicious leakage points cannot be detected by the suction gun leakage detection method, the transition section is subjected to leakage detection alone by combining the vacuum negative pressure leakage detection method. After the leak detection is finished, helium gas filled in all the internal pipelines is recovered to the recovery gas bag 624, and the vacuum interlayer of the vacuum heat insulation pipeline 3 is vacuumized.
Through the steps, the method for detecting the inner pipe leak hole of the vacuum heat insulation pipeline of the test station comprises the steps of firstly connecting all required devices, then evacuating by using an auxiliary evacuation system to enable a vacuum interlayer of the tested heat insulation vacuum pipeline to reach a required vacuum environment, sequentially filling helium gas into the inner pipe of the heat insulation multilayer pipeline after connecting the helium mass spectrometer leak detector, and determining the inner pipeline where the leak hole is located through the output of the helium mass spectrometer leak detector. The invention has the advantages of clarity, clearness, convenience, practicability, simple required equipment and high leak detection efficiency.
The method for detecting the inner pipe leakage hole of the vacuum insulation pipeline of the test station according to the present invention is further explained by a specific example in conjunction with fig. 2 and 3. In fig. 3, a to h represent the numbers of the vacuum relief plugs, and a 'to I' represent the numbers of the respective transition sections.
Step S1, in the detection system of the inner pipe leakage hole of the vacuum heat insulation pipeline of the test station, after the vacuum heat insulation pipeline is used for a long time, five inner pipes A, B, C, D and E are filled with helium at a normal temperature region, and then the vacuum heat insulation pipeline is connected with a helium mass spectrometer leak detector for negative pressure leak detection, wherein the detected leakage rate value is 7.9E -6 Pa·m 3 The vacuum value was 1.01 Pa/s.
In step S2, the second vacuum pump group 622 of the second vacuum unit 62 is activated to evacuate the internal pipes of the vacuum insulation line 3 from a, B, C, D, E to 1.01Pa.
And S3, closing the second vacuum pump unit 622, starting the first vacuum pump unit 613 and the nitrogen storage tank 615 of the first vacuum unit 61, performing nitrogen replacement on the vacuum interlayer of the vacuum heat insulation pipeline 3 for 3-4 times, evacuating to below 5Pa each time, cleaning residual helium impurities in the interlayer, and evacuating to 1.01Pa of the vacuum interlayer before the last replacement.
S4, closing the first vacuum pump group 613 and the nitrogen storage tank 615, connecting and operating the helium mass spectrometer leak detector 4 at the vacuum safety plug a of the vacuum heat insulation pipeline 3, and enabling the background leak rate of the helium mass spectrometer leak detector 4 to be stable and displaying that the local leak rate is less than or equal to 1.0E -13 Pa·m 3 S, use ofHelium storage tank 626 sequentially fills inner pipelines A, B, C, D and F with mixed helium. During inflation, the concentration of helium in the internal pipeline is 10% -30%, and the pressure is 1000Pa. According to the output response of the helium mass spectrometer leak detector 4, the leakage rate change is fast when the tube B is introduced with the mixed helium gas, and the maximum leakage rate is increased to 2.9E -5 Pa·m 3 The/s @1.01Pa, thereby determining that the leakage hole is on the B pipe.
And S5, after the leakage hole of the tube B is determined, connecting the helium mass spectrometer leak detector 4 with the same specification at the rest of safety plugs in sequence through DN25 corrugated pipelines with the length of 500 mm. When the background leak rate of helium mass spectrometer leak detector 4 is stable, helium storage tank 626 is used to pressurize the B tube at a pressure below a gauge pressure. The output response of the helium mass spectrometer leak detector 4 is used for determining which transition section has a leak hole. The specific leak detection sequence is as follows:
1) Arranging helium mass spectrometer leak detectors at a point a of the vacuum plug and a point h of the vacuum plug, and detecting helium leakage before the point a is found at the point h;
2) Transferring the helium mass spectrometer leak detector from the point a to the point b, and detecting helium leakage before the point b by finding the point h;
3) Transferring the helium mass spectrometer leak detector from the point b to a point c, and detecting helium leakage from the point h to the point c;
4) Transferring the helium mass spectrometer leak detector from the point c to the point d, and detecting helium leakage from the point h before the point d;
5) And transferring the helium mass spectrometer leak detector from the point d to the point g, finding that helium leakage is detected at the point g and the point d basically and simultaneously, and determining that the leak hole is in the transition section I' if the leak rate value h is approximately equal to g, d, c, b and a.

Filling helium gas of 2bar into the tube B, waiting for a certain reaction time, and observing a stable leakage rate value read by the helium mass spectrometer leak detector; then taking off heliumAnd (4) sequentially detecting the leakage of the suspicious part of the transition section I by using a suction gun. When the signal of the helium mass spectrometer leak detector is obviously enhanced, the maximum leak rate of the suction gun is 5.0 multiplied by 10 -6 Pa·m 3 And/s, accurately finding out the real leak point with the length of 1-2 mm.
And after the actual leakage point is found, repairing or replacing the leakage hole. And after repairing, filling helium with high concentration and high pressure (the helium concentration is more than or equal to 50 percent, and the pressure is more than or equal to 2 bar) into the tube B for leak detection. And (3) firstly, a suction gun leakage detection method is adopted for detection, and when suspicious leakage points cannot be detected by the suction gun leakage detection method, the transition section is subjected to leakage detection alone by combining a vacuum negative pressure leakage detection method. After the leak detection is finished, helium gas filled in all the internal pipelines is recovered to the recovery gas bag 624, and the vacuum interlayer of the vacuum heat insulation pipeline 3 is vacuumized.
The invention realizes the detection of the inner pipes of the vacuum heat insulation pipeline one by one and in sections, can accurately and quickly determine the inner pipe with the leak hole, quickly and accurately position the range of the leak hole, and improves the detection efficiency and the detection accuracy. The position of the transition section where the leak hole is located can be roughly determined by the negative pressure helium mass spectrometer leak detection method, the method has the advantages of high sensitivity and low cost, the specific position of the leak hole can be well detected by combining the positive pressure suction gun leak detection method, and the operation is simple, convenient and quick.
