Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
At present, in a boron water pipeline system of a nuclear power plant such as a pressurized water reactor, a plurality of long pipelines are generally adopted to form a circulating pipeline, so that the operation of the nuclear power plant is assisted and controlled by introducing a boric acid solution and the like serving as a neutron moderator into the pipelines. However, the boric acid solution can generate boric acid crystallization along with the reduction of the environmental temperature, and the crystallization can block the pipeline through deposition and accumulation, so that the operation of a boron water pipeline system is influenced, even a single row of boron water pipelines can not work when the blockage is serious, the traditional method can only stop the row of boron water pipelines, and solve the problem of pipeline blockage through pipe cutting or pipeline replacement. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:
FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for dredging a boron water pipeline of a nuclear power plant in one embodiment. In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, a method for dredging boron water pipelines of a nuclear power plant can be applied to a nuclear power plant including a boron water pipeline system, and the boron water pipeline system can include a plurality of pipelines which are communicated with each other, and the method can include the following steps:
and step S11, when the boron water pipeline system is blocked, detecting the blocked fault pipeline.
For example, after a boron water piping system is detected to be clogged, each pipe can be inspected using ultrasonic waves to determine the malfunctioning pipe that is clogged. Wherein, the fault pipeline can be one or more, and one or more parts in the same pipeline can be blocked.
And step S12, heating the fault pipeline to dredge the fault pipeline.
For example, after the detection determines that the blocked faulty pipeline occurs, the faulty pipeline may be heated by, for example, a heating belt or other similar means, so as to increase the temperature of the environment in which the boric acid solution in the faulty pipeline is located, and since the solubility of the solute boron in the boric acid solution increases with the increase of the temperature, the boric acid crystals may be encouraged to re-dissolve into the boric acid solution, so as to reduce the crystals causing the blockage, thereby achieving the purpose of dredging the faulty pipeline.
In another optional embodiment, while the faulty pipe is detected, the faulty pipe may be detected by using ultrasonic waves, for example, to acquire parameters of a position, an area range, a size, a shape, and the like of a blockage in the current faulty pipe, and of course, the parameters of the blockage may also be synchronously acquired while the faulty pipe is detected, which may be specifically set according to an actual situation, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto. Follow-up still can be according to the parameter of the jam of above-mentioned collection, block up the regional heating strategy that carries out the correspondence in the pipeline to the trouble, can only heat to the jam region of trouble pipeline even, and other not blocked regions do not do the heating operation, and then when high-efficient mediation is blockked up, can also promote the energy consumption efficiency of heating.
In an alternative embodiment, while the above-mentioned heating method is used to dissolve the blockage in the faulty conduit, the dissolution of the blockage (such as boric acid crystallization, etc.) can be accelerated by pressurizing and filling water into the faulty conduit (i.e. water is used as a solvent of the solution, and when the solvent is other substances, the water can be replaced by the corresponding solvent), so as to further increase the speed of dredging the blockage of the faulty conduit.
In another optional embodiment, after the faulty pipelines are detected, the dissolution temperature of the boric acid crystals at the blockage position in each faulty pipeline can be obtained by sampling or simulating sample preparation and the like of the boric acid solution in the faulty pipeline, and then the heating temperature of the corresponding faulty pipeline can be kept above the obtained dissolution temperature all the time, so that the blockage dredging efficiency is improved, and meanwhile, the temperature of the pipeline can be kept in the temperature range capable of dissolving the blockage all the time through subsequent heating. Wherein, parameters which can cause the change of the solute solubility, such as the environmental temperature, the hydraulic pressure in the pipeline, and the like, can be comprehensively considered when the sample preparation is simulated. Of course, the dissolution temperatures of different boric acid crystals can be obtained based on multiple test data, and the solution temperature threshold of the boric acid crystals can be obtained through big data analysis, and then the heating temperature can be directly maintained within the range of the solution temperature threshold when the blockage is detected, or the heating temperature is higher than the solution temperature threshold for heating, so as to dredge the fault pipeline.
In one optional embodiment, whether the boron water pipeline system is blocked can be judged by detecting the temperature of the boric acid solution in the boron water pipeline system in real time. For example, a temperature threshold can be determined according to experience or big data analysis, when the temperature in the boron water pipeline system is detected to be less than the temperature threshold, an alarm of blockage of the boron water pipeline system is triggered, and the blockage can be unblocked by adopting the method.
It should be noted that "clogging" in the embodiments of the present application means that the temperature of the boric acid solution in the local pipe is lowered due to the deposition of solid matter in the boron water piping system. In addition, whether the boron water pipeline system is blocked or not can be judged based on the flowing speed of the boric acid solution in the pipeline or other parameters.

Correspondingly, when the boron water pipeline system is blocked, thecontroller 12 can detect thepipeline 2 in the boron water pipeline system by using thedetector 13 to determine the pipeline (namely, the fault pipeline) 2 which is blocked, and then thecontroller 12 can control theheater 14 to heat the corresponding pipeline (namely, the fault pipeline) 2 according to the information fed back by thedetector 13, so that the blockage boric acid crystal in thepipeline 2 is dissolved into the boric acid solution again, and the effect of dredging the fault pipeline is achieved.
As shown in fig. 2, in an alternative embodiment, thedetector 13 can detect the faulty pipes and also detect parameters such as the position, shape, size, and area range of the blocked area in each faulty pipe; accordingly, thecontroller 12 may control theheater 14 to perform a particular heating strategy for the failed conduit or the blocked region of the failed conduit according to the parameters of the blocked region as described above. For example, the heating strategy can be set according to the heating temperature, the heating temperature increasing speed, the holding temperature, the heating range and the like, so as to further improve the dredging rate and the energy consumption efficiency of thepipeline 12.
In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the device 1 for dredging a boron water pipeline in a nuclear power plant may further include atemperature sensor 11, thetemperature sensor 11 may be disposed in an outer wall or an inner wall of apipeline 12 of the boron water pipeline system, and thetemperature sensor 11 is further connected to thecontroller 12, that is, thecontroller 12 may compare a reference temperature threshold value built in the controller with a current temperature measured by thetemperature sensor 11 in real time to determine whether a blockage fault occurs in the boron water pipeline system, and may trigger thedetector 13 to start operating after the blockage fault is determined. The number of thetemperature sensors 11 may be multiple, and each pipeline may be provided with onetemperature sensor 11, and as long as the temperature measured by one of thetemperature sensors 11 is less than the reference temperature threshold, it may be determined that the boron water pipeline system is blocked. Of course, in other embodiments, the determination of the blockage failure of the boron water pipeline system may be performed by other methods, for example, a device and a method for determining the blockage failure based on the flow rate of the boric acid solution, the hydraulic pressure of the boric acid solution, and the like.

The number of thewater injectors 15 may be multiple, that is, onewater injector 15 may be disposed at the joint of different pipelines, or amovable water injector 15 may be used to fill water at high pressure to a corresponding faulty pipeline as required.
Fig. 3 is a flow chart of a method for dredging a boron water pipeline of a nuclear power plant in combination with fig. 1 and 2 in one embodiment.
The following description will be made in detail by taking a pressurized water reactor nuclear power station as an example and using a boric acid solution as a neutron moderator, with reference to the accompanying drawings 1 to 3:
the concentration of boron in the boric acid solution used as the neutron moderator is generally 2400-7700 ppm, crystals can be precipitated when the concentration of boron is greater than 10000ppm in a room temperature environment, and the concentration of the precipitated crystals can be gradually reduced when the environment temperature changes, namely, the boric acid solution with the concentration of 2400-7700 ppm is adopted, boric acid crystals can appear when the environment temperature is reduced, and further a boric water circulation pipeline can be blocked.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the method for dredging the boron water pipeline of the nuclear power station can comprise the following steps:
and step S21, acquiring the temperature of the boric acid solution in the pipeline in real time.
Specifically, thetemperature sensor 11 may be used to acquire the temperature of the boric acid solution in real time.
And step S22, judging whether the boron water pipeline system is blocked. And if the boron water pipeline system is blocked, continuing to step S23, otherwise, continuing to step S21.
Specifically, thecontroller 12 may be utilized to determine whether the temperature of the collected boric acid solution in the pipeline is greater than a preset temperature threshold; if the temperature of the collected boric acid solution in the pipeline is less than or equal to the preset temperature threshold value, which indicates that the boron water pipeline system is blocked, the step S23 can be continued; and if the temperature of the collected boric acid solution in the pipeline is greater than the preset temperature threshold value, the boric acid solution in the pipeline is indicated to be free from blockage, namely, the boric acid solution works normally, and the step S21 can be continued after the preset time period, so that the circulating detection of the temperature is realized, and the purpose of real-time monitoring is achieved.
In step S23, a faulty pipe and a blocked area in the faulty pipe are detected.
Specifically, after it is determined that a blockage fault occurs in the boron water pipeline system, thedetector 13 is used for detecting the pipeline of the boron water pipeline system to determine the blocked fault pipeline, collect parameters such as a blocked area and a blocked range in the fault pipeline, and also collect parameters such as a shape and a size of a blockage.
And step S24, heating the blocked area and pressurizing and filling the fault pipeline with water.
Specifically, thecontroller 12 controls theheater 14 to correspondingly heat the blocked area of the faulty pipeline according to the parameters collected by thedetector 13, and controls thewater injector 15 to pressurize and fill the faulty pipeline, so as to rapidly, efficiently and safely dredge the faulty pipeline.
In an alternative embodiment, the dissolution temperature of the boric acid crystals in the faulty pipeline can be determined by sampling or simulating the sample preparation of the boric acid solution in the faulty pipeline and performing experiments in a laboratory, and then the heating operation of theheater 14 can be controlled according to the dissolution temperature, so as to further improve the energy efficiency and efficiency of dredging the blockage.
For example: first, in the case of a pipeline blockage in a boron recovery system (TEP), the dissolution temperature of boric acid crystals in a faulty pipeline can be determined to be 60 degrees by simulation sample preparation and experiment. It should be noted that, because there are differences in parameters such as hydraulic pressure, concentration, etc. at different pipelines or different positions of the same pipeline, so that there is a certain difference in the solution temperature of boric acid crystals at various places, specific simulation sample preparation and test can be performed for different faulty pipelines to determine the dissolution temperature of boric acid crystals in the faulty pipeline.
Secondly, ultrasonic detection (UT) degree fault pipelines are adopted for detection to determine parameters such as the range, the boundary and the like of the blockage, for example, the length of the blockage is 45 meters, and the blockage comprises a 30-meter-long tubular heat exchanger.
Then, winding a line heater (namely a heat tracing band) with the heating temperature of 60-100 ℃ around the blocked area of the fault pipeline (the heat tracing band can be arranged on each pipeline in advance), wherein the line heater has the heat preservation function and can automatically cut off the power when the temperature exceeds 105 ℃; wherein the wire heater wound on the blocked area of the faulty pipe has a length of approximately 100 meters.
Then, after the line heater is powered on, the temperature on the fault pipeline is monitored in real time, and when the temperature rise on the fault pipeline is slow, a heat preservation film (such as fireproof cloth) can be wound outside the line heater, so that the heat generated by the line heater can be applied to the fault pipeline as much as possible; for example, heating by the above-described wire heater for 8 hours causes the temperature on the faulty pipe to rise to 75 degrees.
Meanwhile, when the wire heater is used for heating, the pressurizing and water filling can be carried out at one end of the fault pipeline through the water injector so as to ensure that the boron crystal has enough water solution to carry out solution, and in order to improve the heating effect, the pressurizing and water filling operation can be carried out by adopting hot water with the temperature of more than 60 ℃; of course, when the dissolution temperature is higher, the water temperature of the pressurized water filling can be selected to be proper according to specific requirements and the bearing capacity of equipment.
In the implementation, practical operation shows that the pipeline can be dredged after heating and maintaining 75 ℃ for 3 days aiming at the blockage with the TEP45 m length, and the traditional method for dredging by heating adopts about 15 days for pipe cutting or pipe replacement, namely the method for dredging by heating can greatly save the time for removing faults. Meanwhile, 30-50 ten thousand RMB are consumed by cutting the pipe or replacing the pipeline, and only more than 1000 RMB are needed by adopting the method in the application for estimation, so that the cost of discharging the blockage can be greatly saved.
The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.

It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention.
