Description

Cooling system for superconducting power apparatus
Technical field
The present invention relates to by liquid nitrogens such as liquid nitrogen coolings and can with the superconducting state industrial utilization, with the cooling system of coolings such as hyperconductive cable, the total circuit of superconduction, SMES, superconducting transformer, relate in particular to the superconducting power apparatus that is used to cool off running device under high-voltage state.
Background technology
A kind of as superconducting power apparatus is example with the hyperconductive cable that nitrogenize gas such as liquid nitrogen is used in cooling, with reference to Fig. 6 prior art described.As the cooling system of hyperconductive cable, the known spy of having opens the structure of putting down in writing in the flat 08-148044 communique.As shown in Figure 6, existing cooling system is repeatedly the system of following cycle period: pressurize from the liquefied gas of hold-up tank 101 by 105 pairs of supercooled states of pump (liquefied gas is cooled to below the state of liquefied gas saturation temperature), supply to cable 111 after heat exchanger 107 coolings by refrigerator 108, and then turn back to hold-up tank 101.
Under the situation of cooling hyperconductive cable, if the liquefied gas of circulation becomes the gas-liquid mixed state, then the pressure loss increases, and the liquefied gas of necessary amount is stably circulated, and therefore needs to prepare jumbo large-scale circulating pump.In addition, make liquefied gas be infiltrated up in the insulator owing to hyperconductive cable adopts, keep the utmost point low temperature electric insulation mode of high electrical insulation capability thus, so, then produce the significantly problem of reduction electrical insulation capability as if entrained air or bubble in the liquefied gas.
Therefore, in existing cooling system, in order all the time liquefied gas to be maintained supercooled state, under the state that does not gasify, circulate, for example, when using liquid nitrogen, supply with than the enough low gas hydrogen (H of liquefied gas three phase point by gas bomb 123 grades as liquefied gas 2) or helium (He), make in the hold-up tank 101 to reach pressurized state, improve the boiling point of liquefied gas, make liquefied gas in circulation, be unlikely to boiling (that is, can not reach the gas-liquid mixed state).
Patent documentation 1: the spy opens flat 08-148044 communique
As prior art as can be known: in hold-up tank, by than the enough low gas helium (He) of liquefied gas three phase point when for example pressurizeing as the liquid nitrogen of liquefied gas, produce He gas and dissolve in phenomenon in the liquid nitrogen micro-ly.That is, helium (He) is known as inert gas, is considered to can not dissolve in liquid nitrogen always, and He gas dissolves in the liquid nitrogen micro-ly but reality is clearly.
Although the amount of dissolving in the liquid nitrogen is considerably less amount, if dissolve in the liquefied gas circulation that He gas is arranged but make, the part then for example roomy and flow velocity liquefied gas is slow at pipe arrangement, or the part that for example reduces sharp by the pressure of back liquefied gas such as throttling such as valve from hold-up tank, the He gas that dissolves in can't continue to keep and dissolves in the state in liquefied gas and become bubble, and being blended into becomes the gas-liquid mixed state in the liquid nitrogen.
In addition, as can be known: hyperconductive cable or superconducting power apparatus are provided with the state of layout according to it, exist under the situation of the part that is higher than cooling system, in this part, the gas that produces retains in the top in the equipment, finally is full of in the cooling tubing of liquid nitrogen, can't continue the circulation of liquid nitrogen.
By inventor's experiment clear and definite above-mentioned phenomenon be the phenomenon that causes through the very long time of several months.If contain He gas in the liquid nitrogen, and then reach in the pipe arrangement in gas-liquid mixed state or the cooling tubing and be full of gas phase, then the circulation of liquid nitrogen can't successfully be carried out.In addition, because He gas is very little than other liquefied gas voltage-resistent characteristics, so although liquid nitrogen has high insulation characterisitic originally, the He pneumatolytic that contains reduces for causing insulation characterisitic, causes the reason of the defective insulation or the insulation breakdown of superconducting power apparatus.
As this countermeasure, considered hold-up tank to be pressurizeed by gas with the same kind of liquefied gas, but because the liquid nitrogen that is stored in the hold-up tank is the liquid nitrogen of the following temperature of boiling point, if so the nitrogen that uses in the pressurization contact with liquid nitrogen below the boiling point in hold-up tank, then the nitrogen of use is cooled and liquefies in the pressurization.Therefore, have following problems: the pressure of pressurization reduces, if do not continued to supply with nitrogen by gas bomb all the time then pressure can not be remained necessarily its result, produced following problems: consume a large amount of nitrogen, will a large amount of heat of liquefactions be brought into this moment and cause the thermic load increase in the cooling system.

The specific embodiment
With reference to accompanying drawing cooling system for superconducting power apparatus of the present invention is at length described.
Cooling system for superconducting power apparatus of the present invention is to possess: the hold-up tank of storing liquid gas, circulating pump, the heat exchanger of cooling liquid gas, reach the closed circuit that liquefied gas circulates, use circulating pump under supercooled state, to make the liquefied gas circulation cool off the cooling system of the superconducting power apparatus of superconducting power apparatus thus, it is characterized in that, also possess and use and the pressing mechanism of the congener gas of liquefied gas the hold-up tank pressurization, the liquid level of storing the hold-up tank of liquefied gas with pressurized state is positioned at the outlet of the return line of the liquefied gas that only exceeds circulation, and gas-pressurized dissolves in the position that the degree of depth+liquid level moves the top of revisal amount at least.
Need be positioned at the outlet of the return line of the liquefied gas that only exceeds circulation for the liquid level of storing the hold-up tank of liquefied gas with pressurized state, at least gas-pressurized dissolve in the situation of position that the degree of depth+liquid level moves the top of revisal amount, below describe.
Verified the relation between the degree of depth and the pressure slip of dissolving in of gas-pressurized by experiment.Fig. 5 is that the expression gas-pressurized dissolves in the figure of the relation of the degree of depth [m] and pressure slip [%].
Among Fig. 5, represent the degree of depth (that is, the degree of depth is dissolved in pressurization) that gas-pressurized is dissolved in by the liquid level of hold-up tank by the transverse axis and the longitudinal axis respectively and based on the horal slip of pressure in the hold-up tank of liquefaction.As experiment condition, the internal volume of hold-up tank uses the container of diameter 1m, height 1m, and pressure is made as 0.3MPa.Its result as can be clear and definite from Fig. 5, be dissolved in the degree of depth before reaching 10cm, and the slip of pressure is significantly big, dissolved in the degree of depth probably before reaching 20cm, and the nitrogen of the gas phase of using in the pressurization is condensing to be liquid, and the minimizing of the pressure of pressurization is still very fast.On the other hand as can be known: remain on more than the 20cm if will dissolve in the degree of depth, then the reduction of pressure can be maintained the little value below 1%.In fact, except dissolving in the degree of depth of gas-pressurized, because of the liquid level that influences of the temperature of liquid nitrogen, pressure etc. changes, so need to consider that liquid level move the revisal amount.
Therefore, the liquid level of storing the hold-up tank of liquefied gas with pressurized state need be positioned at the outlet of the return line of the liquefied gas that only exceeds circulation, and gas-pressurized dissolves in the position that the degree of depth+liquid level moves the top of revisal amount at least.Be specially, move revisal amount (30cm) and be suitably more than the 50cm as the degree of depth (the 20cm)+liquid level that dissolves in of gas-pressurized.Above-mentioned situation is very little to the dependence of the container shapes of hold-up tank, even size changes, the necessary degree of depth is also so general.Therefore, in the application's system,, need to guarantee the height of the necessary degree of depth (more than the preferred 50cm) as the container height of hold-up tank.
As mentioned above, the invention provides in system by liquefied gas cooling superconducting power apparatus, the gas that boiling point is lower than the employed liquefied gas of pressurization dissolves in liquefied gas, can not cause fault, the cooling system that can under supercooled state, liquefied gas be circulated for a long time at the insulation of the unstability factor of the circulation of liquefied gas or electric equipment.
The pressing mechanism that under above-mentioned state, pressurizes by with hold-up tank in the congener gas of liquefied gas stored hold-up tank be pressurized to the pressure of regulation and constitute.For the gas that prevents from the to pressurize air cooling that is liquefied is but liquefied, with respect to the outlet of returning pipe arrangement that is in the circulating pump in the hold-up tank, the liquid level of hold-up tank is positioned at and exceeds the above position of 20cm at least, preferably exceeds the above position of 50cm.
In addition, as the mechanism of pressurization, replace the mechanism by the high-pressure gas cylinder pressurization, the circulating-pump outlet pressure that has by making the pressure that is higher than hold-up tank turns back to the mechanism that hold-up tank pressurizes.Concrete mechanism as the pressure that uses circulating-pump outlet, has mechanism as described below: will drain out and fluid under pressure, send the outlet of circulating pump pipe arrangement branch of liquid then from hold-up tank to superconducting power apparatus, and tell the part of liquefied gas from the pressure of hold-up tank, use gasifier to make the LNG gasifaction of branch, and then, via according to being used for the pressure-regulating valve that pressure that pressure with hold-up tank is maintained the pressure of regulation carries out on-off action, turn back to hold-up tank.
For effect of the present invention is described, to using the situation of liquid nitrogen to describe as liquefied gas.The boiling point of liquid nitrogen under atmospheric pressure (1.013MPa) is 77K.If this liquid nitrogen is pressurized to 0.3MPa, then the boiling point of liquid nitrogen reaches more than the 90K.Therefore, if the liquid nitrogen of 77K is pressurized to 0.3MPa, then liquid nitrogen becomes the supercooled state that does not have bubble to produce.Circulating pump get the bottom that liquid portion is in hold-up tank, link by pipe arrangement and circulating pump.
On the other hand, the pipe arrangement that circulation is returned is connected with hold-up tank, but the position of this pipe arrangement outlet is in the position that is lower than liquid level.The liquefied gas cooling superconducting power apparatus of being sent by circulating pump turns back to hold-up tank afterwards.At this moment,,, but move to the liquid nitrogen liquid taking port of circulating pump, circulate once more so the liquefied gas that returns does not contact with the pressurization gas phase of hold-up tank because pipe arrangement outlet is in the position that is lower than liquid level.
In the present invention, the liquid taking port specified altitude (20cm) that exceeds pipe arrangement outlet or circulating pump owing to the position that makes liquid level is above (promptly, be provided with the liquefaction gas-bearing formation of regulation), so for the cold excessively cold liquid nitrogen that lays respectively at the pipe arrangement mouth, the temperature of the liquid nitrogen above it is increased in turn towards liquid level, and the liquid-nitrogen temperature of liquid level portion becomes with the boiling temperature of the liquefied gas of 0.3MPa roughly the same.Therefore, the past, by in the congener gas pressurized hold-up tank time, produced gas liquefaction, have little time the problem that the supply gas build-up of pressure reduces, but by the current liquefaction gas-bearing formation that is provided with, clear and definite most of gas can not be liquefied.
In the present invention, as the method for pressurization, to also investigating again by the method beyond the method for gas bomb pressurization.With reference to Fig. 1 the method that the pressure by self among the present invention pressurizes is described.At first, drain out liquid nitrogen, send liquid by circulating pump then from the storage cistern inside that is in atmospheric pressure state (a point).In outlet of circulating pump, liquid nitrogen flows with 50L/min, and for inlet, liquid nitrogen is by 0.2MPa pressurization (b point).From outlet pipe arrangement branch and pressurized liquid nitrogen turns to gas, and turn back to hold-up tank in the time of will utilizing the pressure of export department by midway gasifier, the pressure of hold-up tank is risen.(arrow c).
Corresponding to this, outlet of circulating pump pressure also rises (arrow d), thereby can pressurize to hold-up tank all the time.If the pressure of hold-up tank surpasses upper limit setting pressure (P2) (e point), the valve that then is installed on the pipe arrangement cuts out, and stops to the hold-up tank supply gas.Afterwards, in storage cistern inside, the nitrogen of gas phase is by the refrigeration of the liquid nitrogen below the three phase point of nitrogen, thereby the liquefaction of nitrogen of gas phase becomes liquid nitrogen.The pressure of hold-up tank reduces (arrow f) and is equivalent to liquefy and the amount of the part that gas volume reduces.If reach lower limit set pressure (P1) (g point), then valve is opened, once more by the pressure of circulating-pump outlet to hold-up tank internal feed nitrogen, the pressure of pressurization hold-up tank.
Because the nitrogen of low temperature flows in pipe arrangement, thus pipe arrangement or valve are frozen, as the function of gasifier, in order to prevent that this situation is with the liquid nitrogen nitrogenize and be warmed up to room temperature.As gasifier, has following method: heating rod is wound up on the pipe arrangement, or pipe arrangement is passed in the water etc., also have the method that fin heats up by the heat exchange with outer gas is installed on pipe arrangement.In addition, function as valve has following effect: if just continue to send gas by the pipe arrangement from pump branch, then the pressure of hold-up tank continues to rise, might reach more than the design pressure of hold-up tank, if, then can become the pressurization that closed condition stops gas, if reach below the pressure of regulation so the pressure of hold-up tank reaches more than the pressure of regulation, then can become open mode, pressurization also automatically keeps certain pressure.
Have again, under the situation capacious of hold-up tank, owing to the pressure that is pressurized to regulation needs a large amount of nitrogen, thus need to prepare in addition the nitrogen gas bomb, thus the pressure of regulation also the exert pressure of hold-up tank can be arrived.In addition, the gas phase that also can and be used in the inside of hold-up tank partly disposes heaters such as heating rod, gas pressurized in the hold-up tank is expanded and the method for pressurizeing.
Below, by embodiment the present invention is illustrated in further detail.
Embodiment
Embodiment 1
Fig. 2 is the figure of an embodiment of the cooling system of explanation superconducting power apparatus of the present invention.Used liquid nitrogen as liquefied gas.Liquid nitrogen is stored in the hold-up tank 1.Hold-up tank 1 forms the double container structure, between double container, around the construction of inboard container 1b ground adiabatic material is arranged, and then is maintained vacuum state in order to reduce the heat conduction.In addition, hold-up tank is an airtight container, is used for internal pressurization.
Have the liquid taking port 3 that is connected to circulating pump in the bottom of hold-up tank, begin to be connected to the inlet of circulating pump 5 from here by the pipe arrangement 4 of the bore of diameter 3cm.Circulating pump 5 is rotary pumps of eddy current type.To be used to make between the motor 5a and fin of fin 5c rotation, in order suppressing, to connect by the axle 5b of the major axis of about 50cm because of conduction flows into heat.
In addition, fin itself is configured in the inner 5e of vacuum tank, suppresses the heat conduction that comes from the outside.Rotary pump of the present invention is the rotating speed of 50Hz, as the liquid nitrogen flow, can flow through the flow of 30L/min, and in addition, as the pressure differential of inlet with outlet, the discharge that can obtain 0.2MPa is pressed.Be connected to the heat exchanger 7 of the refrigerator of its front from pump discharge by the pipe arrangement 6 of diameter 3cm.
