Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an isolation method for an electric water supply pump and belongs to the field of water supply pumps for thermal power units. Background Art

[0002] The operation of thermal power plants relies on a complex array of systems and equipment, among which feedwater pumps play a crucial role. They are responsible for transporting water from low-lying areas to high-lying areas to meet the needs of boilers for steam generation. However, due to the high temperatures, high pressures, and continuous operation of thermal power plants, feedwater pumps are subject to various failures during operation. These failures not only affect the power plant's power generation efficiency but can also lead to safety incidents.

[0003] Electric feedwater pumps are widely used in thermal power plants due to their high efficiency and ease of control. However, their complex mechanical structure and control system require meticulous maintenance when a malfunction occurs. A crucial step in this maintenance process is depressurization and draining, which involves releasing the water and pressure within the pump to ensure the safety of maintenance personnel. However, if this process is not handled properly, it can lead to a series of safety risks.

[0004] Among them, overpressure caused by reverse rotation of a feed pump is a serious safety hazard. During the shutdown or isolation of a feed pump, if the pump outlet valve is not closed tightly or the pressure in the system is improperly controlled, the internal pressure of the pump can rise rapidly, causing damage to the pump or pipeline, or even an explosion. Furthermore, reverse rotation of a feed pump can also lead to mechanical failures such as shaft breakage and bearing damage, further exacerbating the severity of the accident. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an isolation method for an electric water supply pump and an isolation system for the electric water supply pump. The technical solution of the present invention is:

[0006] A method for isolating an electric water supply pump comprises the following steps:

[0007] S1. When the unit load is reduced to 50% BMCR, shut down the faulty feedwater pump and check whether the feedwater pump's air inlet electric door and regulating valve are tightly closed;

[0008] S2. After the water pump speed reaches 0, the electric water pump is powered off;

[0009] S3. Depressurize and drain the water supply pump. Close the high-pressure valve first, then the low-pressure valve, and close the electric valve at the water supply pump outlet.

[0010] S4. Close the manual door of the middle tap of the water supply pump;

[0011] S5. Close the manual dosing door at the front pump inlet;

[0012] S6. Close the water pump reverse heating electric door;

[0013] S7. Close the minimum flow valve of the water supply pump and its front and rear stop valves;

[0014] S8. Slowly close the electric door at the feed pump inlet and make sure that the outlet pressure of the feed pump and the pre-pump does not increase. If the pressure increases, immediately open the electric door at the pre-pump inlet.

[0015] S9. Manually operate the water pump outlet electric door, booster tap electric door, intermediate tap manual door, reverse heating electric door, and the minimum flow valve front and rear stop doors and confirm that they are tightly closed. Then close the pre-pump inlet electric door to prevent overpressure in the pump.

[0016] S10. After isolating the water pump, shut off the power to the electric doors of the water pump outlet, the front pump inlet, the reverse heating electric door, the forward heating electric door, and the electric isolation doors before and after the minimum flow valve.

[0017] S11. Open the drain valve of the pre-pump body and the drain valve of the pre-pump inlet filter, and drain the water from the middle tap of the water pump at the same time;

[0018] S12. After the outlet pressure of the pre-pump drops to near 0 MPa and the return temperature of the sealing water of the water supply pump decreases, close the manual and electric doors of the sealing water at the driving and non-driving ends of the water supply pump; close the electric water supply pump exhaust butterfly valve, check that it is fully closed, close the drain electric door in front of the exhaust butterfly valve, and cut off the power to the electric door.

[0019] The step S9 also includes a step of determining whether the water pump is reversed, specifically: adding a determination function for the water pump reverse, which determines whether there is a possibility of reverse by monitoring the speed change rate ΔN(t).

[0020] The inversion judgment function comprises the following steps:

[0021] a. Calculate the real-time speed change rate ΔN(t) of the water feed pump;

[0022] b. Determine whether the speed N(t) of the water supply pump drops to 0;

[0023] c. If N(t) = 0, enter the reverse monitoring state;

[0024] d. In the reversal monitoring state, if ΔN(t)>0, the reversal alarm is triggered.

[0025] It also includes regular inspection and maintenance of the feedwater pump after it has been isolated.

[0026] It also includes real-time monitoring of the outlet pressure of the feed water pump and the inlet pressure of the fore pump during the isolation process of the feed water pump.

[0027] It also includes the use of an audible and visual alarm system to notify operators of possible reverse or other abnormal conditions during the isolation of the water pump.

[0028] An electric water supply pump isolation system for implementing the electric water supply pump isolation method includes:

[0029] Speed ​​monitoring module, used to monitor the real-time speed of the water feed pump;

[0030] The pressure monitoring module is used to monitor the outlet pressure of the water supply pump and the inlet pressure of the pre-pump; the reversal judgment module is used to judge whether there is a possibility of reversal based on the speed change rate; the alarm module is used to issue an alarm when signs of reversal are detected.

[0031] The reversal judgment module further includes a calculation unit for calculating the speed change rate ΔN(t) of the water supply pump.

[0032] The alarm module is an audible and visual alarm device, which is used to sound an alarm when a sign of reversal is detected.

[0033] The advantages of the present invention are: rapid and safe isolation and maintenance of the electric water supply pump is achieved, equipment damage is avoided, and the safety and economic benefits of the unit operation are enhanced.

[0034] Improved safety: Through gradual pressure relief, water discharge and isolation steps, the pressure in the system is effectively controlled before the water pump is repaired, preventing equipment damage or personal injury caused by sudden pressure release.

[0035] Reverse prevention: The introduction of a reverse judgment function can monitor and judge in real time whether the water supply pump is reversed. Once signs of reverse are detected, an alarm will be immediately issued and corresponding measures will be taken, thereby avoiding overpressure and other potential accidents caused by reverse.

[0036] Operational accuracy: Manual operation to confirm that each valve is tightly closed, as well as real-time monitoring of outlet and inlet pressures during the isolation process, improves operational accuracy and ensures the smooth progress of the isolation process.

[0037] Easy maintenance: Regular inspection and maintenance procedures help to promptly detect and resolve potential problems, reduce unexpected downtime, and improve the reliability and stability of the entire system.

[0038] High degree of automation: The design of the electric water pump isolation system integrates speed monitoring, pressure monitoring, reversal judgment and alarm modules, reducing the complexity and error rate of manual operation and improving the level of automation.

[0039] Real-time monitoring: The system can monitor key parameters of the water supply pump in real time, such as speed and pressure, allowing operators to respond quickly to various situations and improve emergency handling capabilities.

[0040] Sound and light alarm system: The sound and light alarm system can promptly notify operators of possible reversal or other abnormal situations, improving on-site response speed and ensuring the safety of operators and equipment BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
