Definitions
- the invention relates to a refrigeration method of a fluid, for example helium, for supplying a fluid consumer, as well as a corresponding installation.
- the fluid cyclically circulates successively through a compression stage, a pre-cooling stage and / or fluid cooling stage, and an interface for supplying the consumer with fluid and collect fluid from the consumer.
- This type of process is particularly suitable when the consumer needs a substantially constant heat load, that is to say when the thermal power to be supplied by the refrigeration process is almost constant over time.
- a reactor used in the field of controlled fusion comprises superconducting elements cooled with liquid helium.
- a pulsed thermal load varying substantially sinusoidal in time, is necessary in order not to damage the aforementioned superconducting elements. It therefore appears that, in this application in particular, the aforementioned conventional method can not be used without significant over-dimensioning of the various components of the installation to implement it.

- the amount of fluid returned to the pre-cooling and / or cooling stage is adjusted by at least one controlled bypass valve, for example by means of a pressure sensor.

- the accumulator comprises for example a vacuum insulated cryogenic tank, for example housed in the pre-cooling and / or cooling stage.
- Figure 1 is a schematic overview of the installation
- Figure 2 is a schematic view of the damping stage of the installation;
- Figures 3 and 4 are views corresponding to Figure 1, two embodiments.
- FIG. 1 A helium refrigeration installation according to the invention is described in FIG.
- this installation comprises an interface 1 in the form of a cold box or of an enclosure equipped with an inlet and a fluid outlet 2.
- the cold box 1 makes it possible to exchange a heat load with a fluid intended for a consumer constituted, for example, by a cooling circuit for superconducting elements of a controlled fusion reactor.
- the installation comprises a compression stage 4 of the fluid coming from the interface 1, a pre-cooling stage 5 and a cooling stage 6 of the fluid. These stages are known from the prior art and will therefore be briefly described below.
- the compression stage 4 compresses the helium from the lower stage, namely the pre-cooling stage 5 and bring the helium to a room temperature.
- Helium at high pressure that is to say at a pressure of between 15 and 20 bar is fed to the precooling stage 5 where it is cooled, in brazed aluminum plate exchangers 7, 8, by the cold helium from the lower stage, that is to say the cooling stage 6.
- the pre-cooling is completed by a heat exchange with liquid nitrogen.
- the cooling of the helium continues in the cooling stage 6, via a plurality of exchangers of the aforementioned type and by cryogenic expansion turbines 9 arranged in parallel. For each expansion turbine 9, part of the high-pressure helium flow is withdrawn and relaxed at the average pressure of the cycle.
- the number of expansion turbines 9 varies between 2 or 4 for a refrigerator of high power.
- the pre-cooling stage brings the helium to the lower stage, that is to say to a damping stage 10, at a temperature of about 20 Kelvin.
- the damping stage 10 will now be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.
- This stage 10 includes a supply pipe 11 in which the cold fluid flows from the cooling stage 6 to the interface 1, and a discharge pipe 12 for bringing the hot fluid from the interface 1 to the cooling stage 6.
- the helium flowing in the feed pipe 1 1 passes successively, in the direction of flow, a second heat exchanger 13, a control valve 14, an expansion turbine 15, a third heat exchanger 16, a first exchanger 17 and a controlled valve 18, for example by means of a sensor 19 of the helium level within the chamber 1.
- the helium flowing in the discharge pipe 12 passes successively in the direction of flow, the third heat exchanger 16 and the second heat exchanger 13, and is then returned to the cooling stage 6.
- the damping stage 10 further comprises a first bypass pipe 21 for directing the fluid from the expansion turbine 15 to the discharge pipe 12, between the second and third heat exchangers 13, 16.
- the first pipe branch 21 is equipped with a bypass valve 22 controlled, for example by means of a pressure sensor 23. The pressure measurement is performed by this sensor 23 at a point in the supply line 1 1 downstream of the expansion turbine 15 and upstream of the third heat exchanger 16.
- a second bypass pipe 24 makes it possible to deflect a portion of the fluid coming from the third heat exchanger 16.
- the helium flowing in the second channel passes through an expansion valve 25, part of the helium stream coming from this valve 25 then being directed into an accumulator 26, another part passing through the first heat exchanger 17 and then being brought back into the discharge pipe 12, into a point located between the valve 20 and the third heat exchanger 16.
- the fluid stored in the accumulator 26 is also directed towards the first heat exchanger 17 and then directed towards the discharge pipe 12, at a point situated between the valve 20 and the third heat exchanger 16.
- the accumulator 26 is likely to contain helium both in liquid form but also in gaseous form.
- An exhaust pipe 27 makes it possible to evacuate the gases towards the discharge pipe 12, at a point thereof located upstream of the third heat exchanger 16.
- the heat exchangers 13, 16, 17 make it possible to cool or heat the fluids passing through them, the hot fluids and the cold fluids being arranged to flow countercurrently relative to each other in each of the exchangers.
- the helium flowing in the supply line 11 is cooled successively as it passes through the second, third and first exchangers 13, 16, 17.
- the temperature of the helium flowing in the discharge pipe 12 increases as it passes through the second and third heat exchangers 13, 16, and that of the helium from the second bypass pipe 24 or the other.
- accumulator 26 increases as it passes through the first exchanger 17.
- the operation of the damping stage 10 is as follows.
- the controlled bypass valve 22 is mainly open so that a large part of the fluid from the expansion turbine 15 is returned to the cooling stage 6. A small part of the flow of cold helium is fed to the interface 1 by the supply line 11. A certain amount of helium from the part of the aforementioned flow is stored in the accumulator 26, the rest being directed to the discharge pipe 12.
- the bypass valve 22 When the heat load absorbed by the consumer is large, the bypass valve 22 is mainly closed so that the majority of the fluid is directed towards the interface 1. This has the effect to increase the available thermal load for the consumer at interface 1.
- the cold fluid stored by the accumulator 26 is delivered and passes through the first heat exchanger 17, so as to cool the fluid of the supply pipe 11 directed towards the interface 1, thereby increasing the heat load provided. to the consumer.
- FIG. 3 An alternative embodiment of the invention is shown in Figure 3, only the positions of the first branch pipe 21 and the bypass valve 22 having been modified.
- the first branch pipe 21 connects the supply line 1 1, at a point located between the expansion turbine 15 and the third heat exchanger 16, to the discharge pipe 12, at a point situated between the second heat exchanger 13 and the cooling stage 6, the first bypass pipe 21 passing through the second heat exchanger 13, the bypass valve 22 being disposed downstream of the second heat exchanger 13.
- This embodiment avoids a reduction in the efficiency of the second heat exchanger 13.
- the efficiency of a heat exchanger may be reduced during the passage of a fluid having a liquid phase and a phase gas.
- the bypass valve 22 generating an expansion and, therefore, a cooling of the fluid passing through it, the fluid disposed behind the bypass valve 22 may be in two-phase form, depending on the operating conditions.
- the valve 22 thus disposed downstream of the heat exchanger 13 makes it possible not to modify the state of the fluid before passing through this exchanger.
- Another variant embodiment is shown in FIG.
- the first bypass pipe 21 connects the supply pipe 1 1, at a point located downstream of the third heat exchanger 16, to the discharge pipe 12, at a point situated between the second heat exchanger 13 and the cooling stage 6, the first bypass pipe 21 passing successively through the third heat exchanger 16 and the second heat exchanger 13 and being equipped with a first bypass valve 28 situated upstream of the third heat exchanger 16 and a second bypass 29 located downstream of the second heat exchanger 13.
- the second and third heat exchangers 13, 16 are generally grouped together in one and the same heat exchange block. Such a provision bypass valves allows to connect these valves 28, 29 outside the heat exchange block, which is more convenient installation, while ensuring that the fluid passing through each of the exchangers 13, 16 is not two-phase.
- bypass valve could be controlled by a temperature sensor or by any means making it possible to measure a parameter representative of the consumer's needs.
