Description

Technical Field

Background

Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present application, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present application and should not be construed as limiting the application.
The passive heat pipe pile waste heat removal system provided by the embodiment of the application is described below with reference to fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1, the heat pipe stack residual heat removal system includes a heat pipe 1, a core 2, a heat insulating layer 3, and a thimble 4.
The heat pipe 1 includes an evaporation section and a condensation section in this order in its length direction, wherein the evaporation section of the heat pipe 1 is located in the core 2, and is disposed near the fuel rods 21 in the core 2. The heat pipe 1 has a working medium for transferring heat. The working principle of the heat pipe 1 is as follows: the heat pipe 1 comprises a pipe shell and a liquid suction core positioned in the pipe shell, the liquid suction core is provided with a capillary structure, working media are filled in the capillary structure, the fuel rod 21 in the reactor core 2 generates heat, liquid phase working media in the evaporation section are heated and evaporated, the vapor is driven from the evaporation section to the condensation section by the pressure difference caused by the heat evaporation, and the vapor is condensed in the condensation section, and meanwhile, stored latent heat is released. Because the evaporation consumes the liquid phase working medium, the liquid-vapor interface of the evaporation section is retracted into the surface of the liquid suction core, so that capillary pressure is caused, the condensed liquid phase working medium flows back to the evaporation section under the action of capillary force, evaporation is carried out again, and circulation flow is completed. Under this circulation, the heat pipe 1 transfers a large amount of heat from the evaporation section to the condensation section through the working medium, thereby realizing heat transfer. In some embodiments, an insulating section is provided between the evaporator section and the condenser section.
The heat insulating layer 3 covers the condensation section of the heat pipe 1, and the heat conductivity of the material of the heat insulating layer 3 increases with an increase in temperature, so to speak, the thermal resistance of the material of the heat insulating layer 3 decreases with an increase in temperature. The heat insulation layer 3 is sleeved on the sleeve 4, and a heat absorbing material 41 for absorbing heat is filled between the sleeve 4 and the heat insulation layer 3, wherein the boiling point of the heat absorbing material 41 is greater than that of a working medium in the heat pipe 1. The heat absorbing material 41 is used for absorbing the decay heat of the reactor core in an emergency so as to keep the temperature of the heat pipe 1 within a safe temperature range, and avoid the occurrence of safety accidents caused by the fact that the decay heat of the reactor core 2 cannot be timely led out due to the overhigh temperature of the heat pipe 1.
Under normal working conditions, the temperature of the heat pipe 1 is kept within a safe temperature range (for example, less than or equal to 400 ℃), the heat conductivity coefficient of the heat insulation layer 3 is lower (for example, less than or equal to 0.1W/(m.K)), the heat pipe 1 can be better protected in a heat insulation way, the heat loss of the heat pipe 1 is reduced, most heat is transmitted to the thermoelectric conversion device by the heat pipe 1, and the thermoelectric conversion efficiency is better. In an accident condition (for example, emergency shutdown occurs and two loops are in power failure), the heat pipe 1 absorbs decay heat of the reactor core 2 and the temperature rises, the heat conduction of the heat insulation layer 3 increases along with the rise of the temperature due to the heat insulation layer 3 coating the outer wall of the heat pipe 1, heat is timely conducted to the heat absorbing material 41 in the sleeve 4, and the heat absorbing material 41 has a higher latent heat absorbing and storing capacity compared with a working medium due to the fact that the boiling point of the heat absorbing material 41 is higher than that of the working medium in the working medium heat pipe 1, so that evaporation or boiling of the heat absorbing material 41 can not occur in the process of absorbing decay heat of the reactor core 2 transferred through the heat pipe 1 and the heat insulation layer 2.
The heat absorbing material 41 in the sleeve 4 absorbs decay heat of the core 2, so that the heat pipe 1 is maintained in a safe and stable temperature range, the core decay power gradually drops to 1% in the process, and the heat of the heat absorbing material 41 is finally discharged into the air by the sleeve 4, so that accidents caused by overhigh temperature of the heat pipe 1 can be avoided in the shutdown process.
The passive heat pipe pile waste heat discharging system provided by the embodiment of the application cools the reactor core by utilizing the passive principle, does not depend on external trigger and power sources, reduces a large number of redundant equipment and reduces the cost. The heat loss of the heat pipe is smaller under the normal working condition, the thermoelectric conversion efficiency is higher, the heat conduction performance of the heat insulation layer is enhanced along with the temperature rise of the heat pipe under the emergency working condition, and the heat of the heat pipe is timely conducted to the heat absorption material in the sleeve, so that the temperature of the heat pipe is maintained within a safe and stable range, accidents are avoided, and the safety of a reactor core is improved.
In addition, the passive heat pipe pile waste heat discharging system provided by the embodiment of the application has no special limit to the use scene, expands the use range of the heat pipe pile, and can be applied to sea water or used as a vehicle-mounted heat pipe pile emergency waste heat discharging system for both sea and land.
In some embodiments, the heat sink material 41 is an alkali metal material. Alternatively, the heat sink material 41 is lithium alkali metal. The alkali metal material has a low melting point and is easy to become liquid phase working medium to transfer heat.
Optionally, the heat sink material 41 has a boiling point in the range of 1200-1400 ℃. The boiling point of the heat absorbing material 41 is high so that the heat absorbing material 41 does not evaporate or boil during the process of absorbing decay heat of the core 2.
In some embodiments, the working fluid in the heat pipe 1 is an alkali metal material. Optionally, the working medium in the heat pipe 1 is alkali metal sodium or alkali metal potassium. The alkali metal material has a low melting point and is easy to become liquid phase working medium to transfer heat.
Optionally, the boiling point of the working fluid in the heat pipe 1 is in the range 800-1000 ℃.
In some embodiments, the insulating layer 3 is made of an insulating material, such as aluminum silicate fibers, silicon fibers, or the like.
In some embodiments, the average temperature of the insulating layer 3 is 400 ℃ or less under normal operating conditions of the core 2. Optionally, under normal operation conditions of the core 2, the thermal conductivity of the heat insulating layer 3 is less than or equal to 0.1W/(m·k). It will be appreciated that the average temperature of the insulating layer 3 is related to the temperature of the heat pipe 1, the higher the average temperature of the insulating layer 3 and vice versa. The heat conductivity of the heat insulating layer 3 is less than or equal to 0.1W/(m.K), and at the moment, the heat conducting property of the heat insulating layer 3 is low, so that the heat pipe 1 can be well heat-insulated and protected, the heat loss of the heat pipe 1 is reduced, most heat is transmitted to the thermoelectric conversion device by the heat pipe 1, and the thermoelectric conversion efficiency is improved.
