Description
本發明係有關於一種用於電漿火炬電極之高效整合型熱管散熱方法,該火炬電極內部前端安排有熱管之蒸發段,後端串接熱管之冷凝段;俾以利用該些熱管之高導熱係數取代低效率之傳統水冷卻電極方法,特別是降低火炬電極弧根點之局部高溫,提高散熱效果,減緩電極熔蝕,以延長電漿火炬之使用壽命,延長維護週期與降低使用成本者。 The invention relates to a high-efficiency integrated heat pipe heat dissipation method for a plasma torch electrode, wherein an inner portion of the torch electrode is arranged with an evaporation section of the heat pipe, and a rear end is connected with a condensation section of the heat pipe; the crucible is used to utilize the high heat conduction of the heat pipes. The coefficient replaces the low-efficiency traditional water-cooled electrode method, especially reducing the local high temperature of the arc root point of the torch electrode, improving the heat dissipation effect, slowing the electrode erosion, prolonging the service life of the plasma torch, extending the maintenance period and reducing the use cost.
電漿火炬為核能研究所(以下簡稱本所)自主發展之本土核心技術,基於電源設備與火炬熱效率,本所主要發展的是具經濟效益的直流電漿火炬,目前世界上絕大多數之電漿熔融處理系統也是採用直流電漿火炬。直流電漿火炬係氣體放電之一種形式,即工作氣壓大於大氣壓之自我維持弧光放電。操作功率可達10~8,000kW之直流電漿火炬可產生溫度約5,000~20,000℃、能量密度約10~100MJ/kg之噴焰。由於火炬電極引弧點之弧根直徑隨電漿火炬之操作功率而增加,大小主要落在1~6mm間。但因火炬主要功率均落此小圓點上,該處之溫度一旦高於電極材料之熔點以上,部分電極材料會高溫熔融並隨著氣流被帶走而流失,縮短了電漿火炬之使用壽命,乃此技術應用上之限制。諸多改善技術如使用磁場或變動工作氣流去引導弧根之運動,以 防止弧根固定在電極之同一定點上而嚴重侵蝕電極。另外是設法加強電極之熱傳冷卻效果,如加壓水冷與散熱通道及散熱鰭片設計等。特別是以本所研發之井式電漿火炬電極所常採用便宜且導電及導熱性質皆佳之金屬銅為電極材料為例,銅的熔點為1083℃,其沸點為2567℃,經查直流電漿火炬文獻中其銅電極之流失量最低值約在10-7公克/庫侖處。另因採用傳統冷卻方式以高壓水冷卻火炬之銅電極,是在火炬之銅電極外採傳統方式的高壓水冷卻水道設計。但在實際應用場合,例如電漿熔融爐,一旦火炬電極被蝕穿,此時傳統高壓冷卻水道的冷卻水會大量噴入電漿熔融爐內部,因電漿熔融爐內經常維持在1200℃以上高溫,噴入的冷卻水會瞬間氣化、體積突漲,此時有極大機會產生氣爆現象。同時此冷卻水之流出,亦造成電漿爐內現存熔湯待處理物瞬間冷卻而固化,形成電漿爐後續操作維護上的一大困擾。故,一般習用者係無法符合使用者於實際使用時之所需。 The Plasma Torch is the local core technology independently developed by the Nuclear Energy Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as the Institute). Based on the power equipment and the thermal efficiency of the torch, the main development of the company is the economical DC plasma torch, which is currently the vast majority of the world's plasma. The melt processing system also uses a DC plasma torch. A direct current plasma torch is a form of gas discharge, that is, a self-sustaining arc discharge with a working pressure greater than atmospheric pressure. A DC plasma torch with an operating power of 10 to 8,000 kW can produce a flame with a temperature of approximately 5,000 to 20,000 ° C and an energy density of approximately 10 to 100 MJ/kg. Since the diameter of the arc root of the arcing point of the torch electrode increases with the operating power of the plasma torch, the size mainly falls between 1 and 6 mm. However, since the main power of the torch falls on the small circle, once the temperature of the torch is higher than the melting point of the electrode material, some of the electrode material will melt at a high temperature and be lost as the airflow is taken away, shortening the service life of the plasma torch. Is the limitation of the application of this technology. Many improvement techniques, such as the use of magnetic fields or varying working airflows, direct the movement of the arc roots to prevent the arc roots from being fixed at the same point of the electrode and severely eroding the electrodes. In addition, it is trying to enhance the heat transfer effect of the electrodes, such as pressurized water cooling and heat dissipation channels and heat sink fin design. In particular, the well-type plasma torch electrode developed by the Institute often uses metal copper with low conductivity and good thermal conductivity as the electrode material. The melting point of copper is 1083 ° C, and its boiling point is 2567 ° C. The minimum loss of copper electrodes in the literature is about 10 -7 g/Coulomb. In addition, the traditional cooling method is used to cool the copper electrode of the torch with high-pressure water. The traditional high-pressure water cooling channel is designed outside the copper electrode of the torch. However, in practical applications, such as plasma melting furnace, once the torch electrode is etched through, the cooling water of the traditional high-pressure cooling water channel will be sprayed into the plasma melting furnace in large quantities, because the plasma melting furnace is often maintained at a temperature above 1200 °C. The injected cooling water will instantly vaporize and suddenly increase in volume. At this time, there is a great chance of gas explosion. At the same time, the outflow of the cooling water also causes the existing molten soup in the electric furnace to be cooled and solidified in an instant, forming a major trouble in the subsequent operation and maintenance of the plasma furnace. Therefore, the general practitioners cannot meet the needs of the user in actual use.

As shown in the figure: a highly efficient integrated heat pipe heat dissipation method suitable for a plasma torch electrode disclosed in the present invention, the main purpose of which is to replace and upgrade the existing water cooling by utilizing the advantages of the ultra-high thermal conductivity of the heat pipe of 5,000-50,000 W/(mK). The heat dissipation efficiency of the electrode method reduces the temperature of the arc root point of the torch electrode, slows down the electrode erosion, and increases the service life of the torch electrode, thereby prolonging the maintenance cycle and reducing the cost, and facilitating the promotion of technology. The heat dissipation of a hot object is good or bad, or it is difficult to conduct heat. It is related to the thermal conductivity of the material. Figure 1 shows the thermal conductivity of common materials. In principle, the solid state, liquid state, gas state and vacuum, the thermal conductivity value Reduced.

The coefficient is 400W/(mK), and the thermal conductivity of the heat pipe is between 5,000 and 100,000 W/(mK), depending on other factors such as the heat pipe material, working fluid and use environment.
於一具體實施例中,以本發明研發之井式(Well-type)直流電漿中空火炬電極結構為例,第2圖為適用於井式直流電漿中空火炬之整合型熱管之3D後電極(本實施例指負極性電性連接之銅陰極)幾何圖,係使用3D金屬列印方法,對於井式直流電漿中空火炬電極10直接列印製作出含多根熱管11圓型排列且無介面之整合型結構,該火炬電極10內部前端30cm長段為熱管11之蒸發段111,該蒸發段111之中心位置位於電漿弧根中心,該火炬電極10內部後端為熱管11之冷凝段112且較蒸發段111短,約10cm長。以此3D電極幾何模型,進行計算流體動力學(Computational Fluid Dynamics,CFD)模擬,此模擬中將熱管之導熱係數變更為400W/(m.K)、5,000W/(m.K)、及50,000W/(m.K)等3個數值,其中400W/(m.K)導熱係數為 銅之導熱係數,5,000W/(m.K)及50,000W/(m.K)為熱管之導熱係數上下限值,作為比對參考。在此使用電漿操作功率為500kW,且弧根在中間繞中空管內徑圓周運動,長度範圍為1.5cm之情況下模擬。第3圖為其模擬軸向火炬(銅)電極表面蒸發段之溫度分布曲線圖,就中央弧根高溫區而言,無熱管時(即導熱係數為400W/(m.K))最高溫達2500℃,導熱係數為5,000W/(m.K)時最高溫近1500℃,導熱係數為50,000W/(m.K)時最高溫近700℃。 In a specific embodiment, a Well-type DC plasma hollow torch electrode structure developed by the present invention is taken as an example, and FIG. 2 is a 3D back electrode suitable for an integrated type heat pipe of a well type DC plasma hollow torch. The embodiment refers to a copper cathode of a negative polarity electrical connection), using a 3D metal printing method, and directly printing a well-type DC plasma hollow torch electrode 10 to produce a circular arrangement with multiple heat pipes 11 and no interface integration. The inner structure of the torch electrode 10 has a long section of 30 cm long and is an evaporation section 111 of the heat pipe 11. The center of the evaporation section 111 is located at the center of the plasma arc root, and the inner end of the torch electrode 10 is the condensation section 112 of the heat pipe 11 and The evaporation section 111 is short and about 10 cm long. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation was performed using this 3D electrode geometry model, in which the thermal conductivity of the heat pipe was changed to 400 W/(mK), 5,000 W/(mK), and 50,000 W/(mK). ) and other three values, of which 400W / (mK) thermal conductivity is The thermal conductivity of copper, 5,000 W / (m. K) and 50,000 W / (m. K) is the upper and lower limits of the thermal conductivity of the heat pipe, as a comparison reference. Here, the plasma operating power was 500 kW, and the arc root was simulated in the middle around the inner diameter of the hollow tube and the length was 1.5 cm. Figure 3 is a graph showing the temperature distribution of the evaporation section of the surface of the axial torch (copper) electrode. For the central arc root high temperature zone, the highest temperature is 2500 °C when there is no heat pipe (ie, the thermal conductivity is 400 W/(mK)). The highest temperature is nearly 1500 ° C when the thermal conductivity is 5,000 W / (mK), and the highest temperature is nearly 700 ° C when the thermal conductivity is 50,000 W / (mK).
因為銅的熔點為1083℃而沸點為2567℃,故在沒有熱管、導熱係數為400W/(m.K)即銅之情況,雖低於沸點,但(銅)電極之熔蝕仍是難以避免,這也是實際有觀測到之情況。對比加入導熱係數50,000W/(m.K)的熱管時,電極表面最高溫低於700℃,低於熔點,無電極之熔蝕問題。若導熱係數為5,000W/(m.K)時,此較合於實際熱管的導熱係數值,其最高溫近1500℃而論,弧根高溫區低於沸點但高於熔點,相較於導熱係數為400W/(m.K),可大幅降溫減緩熔融現象,減緩電極熔蝕,增長火炬電極之使用壽命。第4、5及6圖分別代表在熱管導熱係數(TCHP)為400W/(m.K)、5,000W/(m.K)、及50,000W/(m.K)等3個情況下,利用CFD熱傳模擬所得到之火炬電極之3D溫度分布圖,圖中含蒸發段與冷凝段。 Since copper has a melting point of 1083 ° C and a boiling point of 2567 ° C, in the absence of a heat pipe and a thermal conductivity of 400 W / (mK), that is, copper, although lower than the boiling point, the corrosion of the (copper) electrode is still difficult to avoid. It is also actually observed. When comparing a heat pipe with a thermal conductivity of 50,000 W/(m.K), the highest temperature of the electrode surface is lower than 700 ° C, lower than the melting point, and there is no problem of electrode erosion. If the thermal conductivity is 5,000 W/(mK), this is more in line with the thermal conductivity value of the actual heat pipe. The highest temperature is near 1500 ° C. The arc root high temperature zone is lower than the boiling point but higher than the melting point, compared with the thermal conductivity. 400W / (mK), can greatly reduce the temperature to slow down the melting phenomenon, slow down the electrode erosion, and increase the service life of the torch electrode. Figures 4, 5 and 6 represent the CFD heat transfer simulations obtained by three heat transfer coefficients (TCHP) of 400 W/(mK), 5,000 W/(mK), and 50,000 W/(mK), respectively. The 3D temperature profile of the torch electrode, which contains the evaporation section and the condensation section.
本發明在實現上可利用現有3D金屬列印方法,對於井式直流電漿中空火炬電極直接列印製作熱管且於尾端加入工作流體後抽真空密封,所得含熱管之整合型結構,無介面,散熱效果更佳。亦可採直接深層鑽孔道再於尾端加入工作流體後抽真空密封,或以陰極挖長孔道埋入熱管之加工方法製成,但因難緊密接合,導熱係數會略為下降。 此外,本發明所提該些熱管內亦可加入毛細(wick)結構於該冷凝段,火炬之工作包括且不限於為垂直及水平方向。 The invention can utilize the existing 3D metal printing method to directly print the heat pipe for the well type DC plasma hollow torch electrode and vacuum-seal after adding the working fluid to the tail end, and the integrated structure containing the heat pipe has no interface. Better heat dissipation. It can also be made by directly drilling the deep drilling channel and then adding the working fluid to the tail end, vacuum sealing, or by the method of embedding the long hole in the cathode to fill the heat pipe, but the thermal conductivity will decrease slightly due to the difficulty of tight joint. In addition, a wick structure may be added to the heat pipes of the present invention, and the work of the torch includes, but is not limited to, vertical and horizontal directions.
本發明之另一優點為熱管內充填之工作流體一般約占其管內體積之10~50%間,其量少且有限,不會發生火炬電極被蝕穿而傳統高壓水冷卻管道冷卻液體大量噴出造成之電漿爐爐內熔湯岩化固化與爐內氣爆現象。另因適用於火炬電極之高效熱管散熱方法係採多根陣列排列,通常在所謂火炬電極被蝕穿現象,也是指其中一根熱管被蝕穿,該熱管內充填之工作流體洩出,但其餘熱管仍建在,整體熱管散熱功能雖變差但還能維持其功用繼續運轉,給予操作者適當應變時間去做後續應變處理措施,防範危險有利工安。 Another advantage of the present invention is that the working fluid filled in the heat pipe generally accounts for about 10 to 50% of the volume inside the pipe, and the amount thereof is small and limited, and the torch electrode is not eroded and the cooling liquid of the conventional high-pressure water cooling pipe is large. The molten smelting and solidification in the furnace of the plasma furnace caused by the blasting and the gas explosion in the furnace. In addition, the high-efficiency heat pipe heat dissipation method applied to the torch electrode adopts multiple arrays, which are usually etched through the so-called torch electrode, and also refers to one of the heat pipes being eroded, and the working fluid filled in the heat pipe is discharged, but the rest The heat pipe is still built, although the heat dissipation function of the overall heat pipe is deteriorated, but it can maintain its function to continue to operate, giving the operator appropriate time to do the subsequent strain treatment measures to prevent danger and safety.
綜上所述,本發明係一種用於電漿火炬電極之高效整合型熱管散熱方法,可有效改善習用之種種缺點,電漿火炬技術為高溫電漿爐之核心技術,透過改善電極散熱設計以延長火炬壽命上,可助益於提高電漿爐使用率與使用週期,有效延長維護週期與降低使用成本,提昇廠商投資報酬率,進而使本發明之產生能更進步、更實用、更符合使用者之所須,確已符合發明專利申請之要件,爰依法提出專利申請。 In summary, the present invention is an efficient integrated heat pipe heat dissipation method for a plasma torch electrode, which can effectively improve various disadvantages of the conventional use.
