No. | Solutions | Solving knowledge | Solution profiles | Solution diagrams |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Dome-based coolant flow distribution device | Transferring of the dome structure knowledge from the mechanics domain The inventive principles are used to enlarge the flow distribution area of the flow equalizing plate | The longitudinal and vertical vortex suppression plates of the dome structure cut the coolant to block the complete flow line of the vortexes, and eliminate the vortexes The stereo flow equalizing plate enlarges the area of flow distribution |
|
2 | Stereo basket structure | The inventive principles are used to enlarge the flow distribution area of the flow equalizing plate | The stereo flow equalizing plate enlarges the area of flow distribution The stereo structure can enhance the strength of the equalizing plate and reduce additional strengthening structures |
|
3 | Hemisphere coolant flow distribution structure | The inventive principles are used to replace the planar structure of the flow equalizing plate with a spherical structure, enlarging the flow cooling and distribution area | The upper hemisphere distributes the coolant flow The lower hemisphere mixes the coolant The ring structure cuts the coolant to block the complete flow line of the vortexes |
|
4 | Multi-layer coolant flow distribution structure | The inventive principles are used to enhance the supporting and distributing functions of the support plate, simplifying the structure of the columns | The support plate provides both the supporting and first time of coolant flow distributing functions The flow equalizing plates provide multiple times of coolant flow distribution in the axial direction. |
|
5 | Combined coolant flow distribution structure | The inventive principles are used to combine the flow equalizing plate with the vortex suppression bucket | The vortex suppression bucket eliminates the vortexes The flow equalizing plate distributes the coolant flow The combination of the bucket and plate reduces the number of supporting columns in the lower plenum |
|
6 | Flow equalizing plate | According to the inventive principle and characteristics of the coolant flow distribution, the aperture distribution of the taper holes is adjusted | Each hole on the flow equalizing plate consists of an upper straight hole and a lower taper hole The cone diameter of taper hole increases successively from the center outward in appropriate proportion |
