大型低温测试平台绝热支撑腿的结构设计与性能分析

Design and Performance Analysis of Adiabatic Supports Structure for Large-scale Cryogenic Test Platform

  • 摘要: 环向场(Toroidal Field,TF)和极向场(Poloidal Field,PF)磁体是国际热核聚变实验反应堆(International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor,ITER)的关键部件。在超导磁体低温测试平台(Magnet Cryogenic Test Bench,MCTB)中进行TF和PF磁体性能验证时,需要支撑腿为磁体提供结构支撑。为了避免支撑腿对磁体施加过大的热负荷,影响实验结果,支撑腿的绝热结构设计显得尤为重要。基于TF和PF磁体的结构特点,本文采用了两种不同形式的支撑腿结构,并使用独立冷却板并辅以G10绝缘板作为支撑腿的绝热结构。为验证支撑腿绝热结构的性能,本文利用Fluent软件对液氦出口温度进行了数值模拟,并将模拟获得的液氦平均温度施加于流道壁面,结合Workbench稳态热模型计算磁体所承受的热负荷。仿真结果表明,支撑腿绝热结构的设计满足其绝热性能要求,为大型低温装置支撑系统的绝热结构设计与性能验证提供了参考依据。

     

    Abstract: The toroidal field (TF) and poloidal field (PF) magnets are critical components of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). During the performance verification of the TF and PF magnets on the magnet cryogenic test bench (MCTB), structural supports are required to maintain the magnets' positioning. To minimize the impact of excessive thermal loads generated by the supports on the experimental results, it is particularly crucial to optimize the design of their thermal insulation structures. Based on the structural characteristics of the TF and PF magnets, two different types of support structures were developed in this study, incorporating independent cooling plates combined with G10 insulation plates as the thermal insulation system. To evaluate the performance of the insulation structure, numerical simulations of the liquid helium outlet temperature were conducted using Fluent software. The obtained average temperatures at the channel walls were subsequently applied as boundary conditions in a steady-state thermal analysis using Workbench to calculate the thermal loads imposed on the magnets. Simulation results demonstrate that the designed insulation structures meet the thermal insulation performance requirements, providing a reference for the design and performance validation of support systems in large-scale cryogenic facilities.
