Abstract

In a cooling device for a high temperature pipe, a high temperature pipe is efficiently cooled, and cooling performance is improved. A cooling device ( 10 ) for a high temperature pipe that cools a surface to be cooled ( 104 ) of a pipe ( 100 ) as a high temperature pipe includes: a cooling medium supply header ( 11 ) that is disposed so as not to shield heat dissipation by radiation from the surface to be cooled ( 104 ) to the periphery, and allows a cooling medium to flow out toward the surface to be cooled ( 104 ); and a cooling medium supply device ( 12 ) that supplies the cooling medium to the cooling medium supply header ( 11 ).

Claims (36)

1 . A cooling device for a high temperature pipe installed on a periphery of a surface to be cooled of a high temperature pipe, the cooling device for a high temperature pipe comprising:

a cooling medium supply header that is disposed at such a position as not to shield heat dissipation by radiation from the surface to be cooled to the periphery, and allows a cooling medium to flow out toward the surface to be cooled; and

a cooling medium supply device that supplies the cooling medium to the cooling medium supply header.

2 . The cooling device for a high temperature pipe according to claim 1 , wherein

the surface to be cooled is an exposed surface of the high temperature pipe exposed from an uncovered part of a heat insulating material that covers the high temperature pipe, and the cooling medium supply header is disposed outside the surface to be cooled.

3 . The cooling device for a high temperature pipe according to claim 2 , wherein

the cooling medium supply header is supported on an outer surface of the heat insulating material.

4 . The cooling device for a high temperature pipe according to claim 2 , wherein

the cooling medium supply header is supported on the high temperature pipe and an outer surface of the heat insulating material by a support member.

5 . The cooling device for a high temperature pipe according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a cooling medium outflow nozzle that allows the cooling medium of the cooling medium supply header to flow out toward the surface to be cooled.

6 . The cooling device for a high temperature pipe according to claim 5 , wherein

the cooling medium outflow nozzle allows the cooling medium to flow out along the surface to be cooled.

7 . The cooling device for a high temperature pipe according to claim 5 , wherein

the surface to be cooled includes a welded part, and the cooling medium outflow nozzle allows the cooling medium to flow out toward the welded part.

8 . The cooling device for a high temperature pipe according to claim 1 , wherein

the cooling medium supply header is provided with a cooling medium outlet that allows the cooling medium of the cooling medium supply header to flow out toward the surface to be cooled, the cooling medium supply header has a plate material provided along an uncovered part of a heat insulating material that covers the high temperature pipe, and the cooling medium outlet is formed from both an end of the plate material on a side close to the high temperature pipe and a surface of the high temperature pipe.

9 . The cooling device for a high temperature pipe according to claim 1 , wherein

the cooling medium supply header has a plate material provided along an uncovered part of a heat insulating material that covers the high temperature pipe, and

the plate material has a slit formed therein extending outward from a side close to the high temperature pipe.

10 . The cooling device for a high temperature pipe according to claim 1 , wherein

the cooling medium supply header has a plate material provided along an uncovered part of a heat insulating material that covers the high temperature pipe, and

the plate material is made up of an assembly of a plurality of division members divided along a circumferential direction of the high temperature pipe.

11 . The cooling device for a high temperature pipe according to claim 1 , wherein

the cooling medium supply header has a plate material provided along an uncovered part of a heat insulating material that covers the high temperature pipe, and

the plate material is made up of an assembly of a plurality of division members divided along the high temperature pipe, and is adjustable in a position of an end of the plate material on a side close to the high temperature pipe.

12 . The cooling device for a high temperature pipe according to claim 1 , wherein

the cooling medium supply header has:

a plurality of header units that allow the cooling medium to flow out toward the surface to be cooled while the cooling medium circulates; and

extendable parts that are provided between each two of the header units, and the header units and the extendable parts are alternately coupled.

13 . The cooling device for a high temperature pipe according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a temperature sensor that measures a temperature of the cooling medium supplied to the cooling medium supply header by the cooling medium supply device; and

a control device that controls an outflow amount of the cooling medium that is allowed to flow out toward the surface to be cooled from the cooling medium outflow nozzle or the cooling medium outlet, in accordance with the temperature of the cooling medium measured by the temperature sensor.

14 . The cooling device for a high temperature pipe according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a temperature sensor that measures a temperature of the surface to be cooled; and

a control device that controls an outflow amount of the cooling medium that is allowed to flow out toward the surface to be cooled from the cooling medium outflow nozzle or the cooling medium outlet, in accordance with the temperature of the surface to be cooled measured by the temperature sensor.
