Referring to fig. 1 to 3, one embodiment of the present invention discloses a reactor heat exchange shielding structure that can be used for a reactor pressure vessel, the reactor heat exchange shielding structure comprising: the heat pipe comprises a shielding layer 1 arranged on the periphery of the pressure container, a heat pipe assembly arranged on the outer side of the shielding layer 1 and a cold source 3;
the heat pipe assembly comprises at least one heat pipe 2, wherein the heat pipe 2 comprises a heat pipe section 21, a cold pipe section 23, a connecting section 22, a phase change heat exchange medium and a capillary structure, wherein the heat pipe section 21 is arranged on the periphery of the shielding layer 1 and is tightly attached to the shielding layer 1, the cold pipe section 23 is arranged in the cold source 3, the connecting section 22 is used for connecting the heat pipe section 21 and the cold pipe section 23, and the phase change heat exchange medium and the capillary structure are arranged in the heat pipe; the phase-change heat exchange medium in the heat pipe section 21 absorbs and vaporizes the heat of the shielding layer 1, flows into the cold pipe section 23 to exchange heat with the cold source 3 for condensation, and flows back to the heat pipe section 21 through a capillary structure. Preferably, the phase change heat exchange medium of the present invention may be an absorption liquid.
The heat exchange principle of the heat pipe 2 of the reactor heat exchange shielding structure is that the pipe shell of the heat pipe section 21 transfers heat to the phase-change heat exchange medium in the heat pipe, the phase-change heat exchange medium absorbs heat and is vaporized, the heat flows to the cold pipe section 23 in the cavity of the heat pipe 2 and is transferred to the cold source 3 outside the heat pipe 2 through the pipe shell, and the phase-change heat exchange medium flows back to the heat pipe section 21 under the action force of the capillary structure after being condensed, so that the closed circulation in the heat pipe 2 is formed. Heat dissipation and heat exchange are performed through the evaporation-condensation process in the heat pipe 2.
According to the invention, under the condition of meeting the radiation shielding design requirement, the temperature of the shielding layer 1 can be effectively controlled through the heat pipe assembly, so that the primary shielding design requirement of compact arrangement is met.
Specifically:
the material of the shielding layer 1 is selected according to shielding requirements. According to the strong radiation source and the ray type of the reactor pressure vessel under the conditions of power operation and shutdown and the shielding performance of different shielding materials, the shielding design is developed by combining the set shielding design targets, such as the gamma dose rate target after shielding, and the like, including determining the type, thickness, installation position and the like of the shielding materials. Firstly, a proper shielding material type is selected according to a shielding object of the shielding layer 1, and when the reactor core starts to operate, fuel in the reactor core undergoes a fission reaction, so that a large amount of neutrons, gamma rays and beta rays can be generated. Where neutrons and gamma rays may penetrate the walls of the pressure vessel. In order to ensure the safety of equipment, the shielding layer 1 is arranged on the periphery of the pressure vessel, and the shielding layer 1 is used for shielding neutrons and gamma rays, so that neutrons and gamma rays penetrating through the wall surface of the pressure vessel can be shielded, and irradiation damage of irradiation to equipment and instruments around the pressure vessel of the reactor is reduced. Next, the main structure of the shielding layer 1 is determined, and the shielding layer 1 may be composed of a single shielding material or composed of a plurality of shielding materials as long as it is satisfied that neutrons and gamma rays can be shielded. Finally, the mounting position of the shielding layer 1 is determined, and the reactor heat exchange shielding structure can be arranged, for example, above the pressure vessel top cover, at the periphery of the pressure vessel flange surface, etc., according to shielding requirements, and preferably can be fixed at the designed mounting position by means of a support bracket.
And according to the radiation source and the radiation type of the reactor pressure vessel under the conditions of power operation and shutdown, carrying out the calculation of the heating value of the shielding layer 1, and according to the heating value, the heat dissipation capacity of the heat pipe 2 and the temperature limit of the shielding layer 1, determining the installation positions of the heat pipe sections 21 and the number of the heat pipes 2.
Since the shielding layer 1 is arranged in a place closer to the pressure vessel, heat in the shielding layer 1 is brought out timely and effectively in order to ensure the effect of the shielding layer 1. The heat pipe 2 may be arranged outside the shielding layer 1, and inside the shielding layer 1 is a pressure vessel. According to the heat generation of the shielding layer 1 and the heat exchange performance of the heat pipe 2, a proper contact area with the shielding layer 1 is determined, so as to meet the requirement of controlling the temperature of the shielding layer 1, the temperature of the shielding layer 1 can be uniformly distributed as far as possible, and the heat pipe section 21 can be designed into a flat plate shape so as to increase the contact area with the shielding layer 1. The outer envelope of the cold leg 23 may be designed as a light pipe or fin type, depending on the heat dissipation requirements of the shielding layer 1 and the heat dissipation conditions outside the cold leg 23, preferably the cold leg 23 is provided with a number of heat exchanging fins at its periphery.
In order to increase the heat exchange efficiency, the heat pipe assembly comprises a plurality of heat pipes 2 arranged in parallel. The heat pipe section 21 and the shielding layer 1 are tightly attached to ensure that the thermal resistance between the heat pipe 2 and the shielding layer 1 meets the design requirement, and if necessary, a heat conducting agent can be smeared at the joint of the heat pipe section 21 and the shielding layer 1 so as to reduce the contact thermal resistance between the evaporation section and the shielding layer 1.
As shown in fig. 2, the compact arrangement core bottom is typically provided with a hold-down tank 31 for stabilizing the primary loop pressure and accident water level injection. The cold source 3 comprises a pressure suppressing tank 31 arranged at the lower side of the pressure vessel and cooling water 32 injected into the pressure suppressing tank; the cold pipe section 23 is disposed in the cooling water 32. Preferably, the cold leg 23 is guaranteed to be below the level of the hold-down tank 31.
In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the cold source 3 further comprises a gas, and the cold leg 23 is exposed to the gas. Preferably, the condensing section is mounted within the large containment space 5. In order to ensure that the cold pipe section 23 is below the water level of the suppressing pool or is installed in a large space of the containment, the connection section 22 is used as the connection between the hot pipe section 21 and the cold pipe section 23, the connection section 22 needs to be reasonably arranged, and the connection section 22 needs to pass through the concrete structure of the pit, preferably, the connection section 22 is made of heat insulation material.
The heat exchange process of the reactor heat exchange shielding structure comprises the following steps: under the action of neutrons and gamma rays, the temperature of the shielding layer 1 gradually rises. At this time, the radiation heat generated by the shielding layer 1 transfers heat to the phase-change heat-exchange medium in the heat pipe 2 through the shell of the heat pipe section 21, the phase-change heat-exchange medium absorbs heat and evaporates, under the action of natural circulation driving force, flows from the heat pipe section 21 to the cold pipe section 22 in the cavity of the heat pipe 2, transfers heat to the air outside the heat pipe 2 through the shell of the cold pipe section 22, and returns to the heat pipe section 21 under the action of capillary force after the heat-release condensation of the phase-change heat-exchange medium, so as to form a closed circulation in the heat pipe 2. Through the evaporation-condensation process in the heat pipe 2, the radiation heat generated by the heat pipe 2 and the shielding layer 1 is effectively led out, and the temperature of the shielding layer 1 is further controlled. When the heat release amount of the shielding layer 1 is reduced, the temperature of the shielding material is gradually reduced, when the temperature is lower than a certain threshold value, the phase change heat medium in the heat pipe 2 is not evaporated, the natural circulation in the heat pipe 2 is interrupted, and the shielding material is not cooled continuously until the temperature of the shielding material is further increased.
By implementing the invention, the following beneficial effects are achieved:
the reactor heat exchange shielding structure can meet the functions of shielding rays and radiating heat of a shielding layer.
