热交换介质的流体可以包括气体和液体中的至少一种, 例如包括气体或 液体。 用于高温堆气体可以是氦气, 而用于低温堆气体可以是二氧化碳。 此 外, 流体也可以是在常温下是固态的, 而在运行温度下是液态的流体。 此外, 流体也可以是能够与固体颗粒形成两相流的其它流体或能够驱动固体颗粒运 动的其它流体。 固体颗粒可以由金属、 金属化合物、 陶瓷材料和石墨中的至 少一种制成。 例如, 所述固体颗粒由铍、 铍合金、 锆、 锆合金、 钛合金、 氧 化铍、 MA 相材料、 碳化硅、 石墨中的至少一种制成。 固体颗粒也可以由其 它合适的材料形成。 所述固体颗粒可以具有任何合适的形状, 例如任何规则 的形状或不规则的形状。 作为示例, 所述固体颗粒可以具有圆球体形状、 椭 圆球体形状和多面体形状中的至少一种形状。 所述固体颗粒的密度可以大于 所述流体 (例如, 液体或气体) 的密度。
所述热交换介质可以构造成形成气固两相流或液固两相流。 在使用中, 所述热交换介质可以形成气固两相流或液固两相流。 由此, 可以采用合适的 输送气固两相流或液固两相流的装置进行输送。
例如, 固体颗粒 12 堆积形成具有一定孔隙率的球床结构, 并以一定流 量运动, 流体充满在固体颗粒 12间的空隙中, 并以另一流量运动。通过这一 结构, 该两相换热介质能够通过以下四种主要的途径增强换热效果: 提升体 积热容, 提升导热系数, 提升传热系数和增强辐射传热。
采用根据本发明的诸如气固两相冷却介质的热交换介质, 相较于原有的 单相介质, 在需要进行强化换热的场合, 可以起到更好的换热与系统结构降 温效果。另外热交换介质中的固体颗粒 12可选择具有良好热导率和体积比热 容的固体材质, 例如, 可以采用铍和铍合金、 锆合金和锆的化合物或者钛合 金和钛的化合物等。 对于流体, 可选择具有良好流动性且密度小于固体颗粒 的流体, 包括但不限于氦气、 二氧化碳等。
如图 1至 4所示, 根据本发明的一个示例, 气固两相热交换介质通过热 交换介质通路流过堆芯 10, 将核燃料产生的热量带出。 对于功率密度极高核 反应堆来说, 气固两相热交换介质能够将如此高的热量带出堆芯, 从而提高 堆芯中的中子通量。 气固两相热交换介质将热量带出堆芯后, 通过诸如气固 分离装置的分离装置 2进行分离。 分离后, 气体进入气体通路 4, 气体通路 4 中包括诸如泵的第二输送装置 23, 以驱动和输运气体, 之后经过气体换热器 7将热量带出, 气体换热器 7具有冷却回路 9。气体经过输运后, 到达诸如气 固混合装置的混合装置 5。 固体颗粒 12通过倾斜的输运通道, 到达第二换热 器 7, 在第二换热器 7中, 固体颗粒 12的余热通过冷却回路 9导出, 通过诸 如机械或气体提升输运系统的第一输送装置 8, 固体颗粒 12重新注入诸如气 固混合装置的混合装置 5, 再次形成气固两相热交换介质。 例如, 该气固混 合装置可利用标准流化床混合器。 当气体穿过固体颗粒间隙带动颗粒翻腾, 并且当气流速度达到或超过颗粒的临界流化速度时, 固体颗粒表现出类似液 体的流动性。 通过上述的循环过程, 将连续从反应堆带出热量, 循环速度由 系统功率密度决定, 功率密度越大则循环速度越快, 如此整个系统可以满足 高热功率密度下的安全可靠运行。 冷却回路 9带出的热量可以用来驱动发电 机, 用来产生电力。
根据本发明的诸如气固两相热交换介质的热交换介质的驱动可以采用 流体与固体颗粒分别驱动的方法, 其中流体的驱动可采用常规的流体驱动设 备, 固体颗粒的驱动亦有成熟的工业设计与产品。 作为选择, 本发明的诸如 气固两相热交换介质的热交换介质的驱动可以采用流体与固体颗粒同时驱动 的方法。
本发明中的, 诸如气固两相冷却介质的热交换介质具有大热容量、 低压系 统、 无腐蚀、 离线处理等优势, 而系统结构和部件均可采用工程运用中成熟 的子系统、 例如低压气体系统、 固体颗粒传输系统等。 根据本发明的热交换 介质冷却的裂变反应堆可以实现在高功率密度或者极高功率密度下的安全可 靠运行, 除使用传统核燃料外, 还可以使用铀 235、 钍、 铀 238、 长寿命裂变 产物、 超铀元素作为核燃料, 可用于能源产生、 核乏料的嬗变和同位素生产 和材料辐照。
