摘要
An open natural circulation system has the characteristics of a simple structure, superior safety performance and strong heat removal capability. However, during long-term operation, the flow instability may occur due to the reduction of the driving force, which will have adverse effects on the heat removal capability and safe operation of the system. Thus, injecting air into the riser is designed in this paper to improve the driving force of the circulation flow, reduce the possibility of flow instability, and increase the heat removal capability. In order to investigate the influence of air injection on the evolution of flow pattern, resistance characteristics and circulation flow rate, the method of visual observation and data analysis is used based on different pore sizes porous media, air injection rate and submergence ratios. The ratio of the driving pressure head to the resistance pressure drop is proposed as the basis for assessing the effect of air injection on the ability of natural circulation. It is found that the driving force of natural circulation increases with the increase of air injection rate, and the circulation flow rate increases obviously when the bubbly flow appears in the riser. However, when the transition from bubbly flow to churn flow appears, the growth of the circulation flow rate slows down because the resistance increases faster than the driving force. Therefore, it can be known that the best performance is obtained when bubbly-churn flow appears in the top of the riser. What's more, the capacity of lifting water will be reduced and churn flow will appear prematurely when the submergence ratio decreases. This means that in the process of open natural circulation system design, the submergence ratio of the system should be increased as much as possible. Finally, in this paper, it is found that the bubble pump with PS=0.2 pm has better performance.
