    多工况下微细通道换热器热力-强度强化学习优化方法

    A Reinforcement Learning-Based Method for Thermal and Strength Optimization of Mini-Channel Heat Exchangers under Multiple Design Conditions

    • 摘要: 针对现有超临界CO2(supercritical carbon dioxide, sCO2)微细通道换热器优化设计方法在不同设计工况下需重复迭代、计算周期长的问题,提出多工况下微细通道换热器热力-强度强化学习优化方法。建立分段热设计与强度校核耦合环境,提出以体积功率密度为主目标、兼顾紧凑度和压降并考虑强度硬约束的奖励函数,建立基于深度确定性策略梯度算法的优化设计智能体。结果表明,50次环境模型调用下,智能体比同等计算量遗传算法(genetic algorithm, GA)综合奖励提高13.7%,搜索时间降低65.2%;达到与常规约束GA相当的综合奖励时,智能体调用次数和搜索时间仅为常规约束GA的2.4%和0.9%。针对300个设计工况,5次重复测试平均总耗时为56.9 s,所有方案均满足压降和强度约束,体积功率密度为48.23~127.61 MW/m3,紧凑度平均值为5449.1 m2/m3。

       

      Abstract: To address the problems of repeated iterations and long computational time of existing optimization methods for supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) mini-channel heat exchangers under different design conditions, a reinforcement learning-based method for thermal and strength optimization of mini-channel heat exchangers under multiple design conditions is proposed. A coupled environment integrating variable-property segmented thermal design and strength verification is established. A reward function is developed with volumetric power density as the primary objective, considering compactness and pressure drop while treating structural strength as a hard constraint. A design optimization agent based on the deep deterministic policy gradient algorithm is constructed. The results show that, with 50 environment-model evaluations, the agent improves the composite reward by 13.7% and reduces the search time by 65.2% compared with the genetic algorithm (GA) under the same computational budget. When achieving a composite reward comparable to that of the conventional constrained GA, the number of environment-model evaluations and search time required by the agent are only 2.4% and 0.9% of those of the GA, respectively. For 300 design conditions, the average total optimization time of five repeated tests is 56.9 s. All optimized designs satisfy the pressure-drop and strength constraints, with volumetric power density of 48.23–127.61 MW/m3 and average compactness of 5449.1 m2/m3.
