Abstract

When the temperature rise and fall rates of a large-scale aqueduct with traditional water-cooling technology exceeds the standard, it is difficult to avoid the temperature change of aqueduct concrete deviating from its control curve in the process of temperature rise and fall by adjusting the water flow rate or cooling the water temperature of a water pipe only by manual experience. Aiming at such problems, an intelligent temperature control system for a large aqueduct body is developed and applied, which is composed of an information processing and decision-making module, simulation calculation module and information collection and control module, with real-time interactive information and real-time update of the temperature change control curve. The system is applied to the 1:30 Dongjia Village Aqueduct model experiment. The model experiment results show that the system can automatically adjust the water flow velocity of concrete according to the temperature variation control curve, and update the temperature variation control curve according to the changes of environmental parameters and cooling water parameters.
