Research on Fault Diagnosis Method of Heat Pipe Network
The urban heat pipe network fault diagnosis was studied in this paper. According to differential equations and boundary conditions, the author deduces the function relations between pressure and flow in unsteady flow. On the base of above investigations, a heat pipe network leak pipeline diagnosis method and a leak positioning method are proposed here, the pipeline alarm valve ε0 and the leak alarm valve εF are designed. We can judge whether heat pipe network leaks or not through the law of flow conservation, and search out the leak pipeline by judging the size relation of pressure drop, ε1 and ε0, before and after pipeline leaks. It then locates the leak point by judging the size relation of ε2 and εF before and after the pipeline leaks. Moreover, the location accuracy is 5%.
