[0022] The application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific examples.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 , the application provides a technical solution:

[0024] A real-time monitoring and cleaning device for coking in the water wall area of a coal-fired boiler, characterized in that it comprises a monitoring system, a controller and a cleaning system. The monitoring system is used to collect the wall temperature of the boiler water wall and the flue gas temperature in the furnace in real time. The monitoring system comprises wall temperature measuring points 2 arranged in the water wall area and an infrared flue gas temperature measuring gun arranged in the boiler furnace. The wall temperature and flue gas temperature are calculated by the wall temperature measuring points 2 and the infrared flue gas temperature measuring gun, and the heat transfer coefficient is calculated. The controller is in communication connection with the monitoring system, and is used to calculate the heat transfer coefficient based on the wall temperature and flue gas temperature, and to judge the coking condition in the water wall area according to the heat transfer coefficient. The cleaning system is in communication connection with the controller, and is used to execute the cleaning operation in response to the instruction of the controller. The cleaning operation includes adjusting the opening of the secondary air adjusting damper 3 to slow down the coking and starting the steam blowing system to remove the coking.

[0025] The device is suitable for supercritical opposed firing boilers. The monitoring system achieves full furnace coverage through distributed arrangement. The wall temperature measuring points 2 adopt thermocouple sensors, which are uniformly installed at the inlet and outlet positions of the water wall tube panel, and collect wall temperature data in real time at a frequency of 1 Hz. The infrared flue gas temperature measuring gun is a rotatable probe, which is installed at the furnace observation hole and scans the flue gas temperature distribution of the furnace every 5 minutes. The controller is a PLC module, which is connected with the monitoring system through the Mo dbus protocol and executes the coking judgment algorithm after receiving the temperature signal. The cleaning system includes an intelligent actuator. The secondary air adjusting damper 3 is an electric regulating valve, which corresponds to the burner in layers. The steam blowing gun group 1 adopts a telescopic design, and the steam flow is controlled by a solenoid valve. When the system is started, the temperature data collector 4 converts the analog signal into digital quantity, and the data processor 5 performs filtering and calibration to ensure that the data error input into the controller is small.

[0026] Specifically, the controller calculates the logarithmic mean temperature difference based on the water wall inlet wall temperature T ω1 , the water wall outlet wall temperature T ω2 , the flue gas inlet temperature T g1 and the flue gas outlet temperature T g2 . According to the boiler thermal power P and the water wall heat load ratio η, the heat transfer amount Q = ηP is determined; based on the outer diameter d, length L and the number of pipes n of the water wall pipe, the heat transfer area A = πdLn is determined; the method for calculating the heat transfer coefficient of the controller is based on the heat transfer formula:

[0027] When k is lower than the preset threshold value, it is determined that the water wall is coking; the cleaning system responds to the instruction of the controller and performs at least one of the following operations: adjusting the opening degree of the secondary air damper 3 corresponding to the water wall area; starting the steam soot blowing gun group 1 of the steam soot blowing system to perform directional soot blowing; the preset threshold value is 1500W / m 2 ·K, the secondary air damper 3 opening degree and the steam soot blowing system are synchronously executed when k < 1000W / m 2 ·K.

[0028] Further, the preset threshold value is divided into two levels: the early warning threshold value is 1500W / m 2 ·K, and the forced cleaning threshold value is 1000W / m 2 ·K. The controller compares the real-time k value with the threshold value: if 1500≤k<1800W / m 2 ·K, it is determined that there is slight coking; if 1000≤k<1500W / m 2 ·K, it is determined that there is moderate coking; and if k < 1000W / m 2 ·K, it is determined that there is severe coking.

[0029] Specifically, when there is slight coking, the controller instructs the secondary air damper 3 to increase the opening degree by 10-20%, for example, from 50% to 70%, to enhance the air volume in this area to peel off loose ash; when there is moderate coking, the steam soot blowing gun group 1 is started to perform directional soot blowing: the controller locates the coking area and the corresponding steam soot blowing gun group 1 is swept; when there is severe coking, the following is synchronously executed: first, the damper opening degree is adjusted to the maximum, and at the same time, the steam soot blowing gun group 1 is continuously swept.

[0030] After cleaning, the controller monitors the rising trend of the k value; if it does not recover to 1500W / m 2 ·K or above within a certain time, the cleaning is repeated or a shutdown suggestion is issued.

[0031] It also includes a temperature data collector 4 and a data processor 5 for processing the signals of the monitoring system and transmitting them to the controller.

[0032] The cleaning system includes fully adjustable secondary air dampers 3 arranged in layers corresponding to the burners and a plurality of steam soot blowing gun groups 1 evenly distributed in the left and right walls of the boiler and the peripheral area of the burners; four secondary air dampers 3 are arranged corresponding to each layer of burners. The controller adjusts the opening degree through the PID algorithm: according to the coking position, for example, when the right side is coking, the opening degree of the right side secondary air damper 3 is increased and the opening degree of the left side is reduced to balance the combustion.

[0033] A real-time monitoring and cleaning method for coking in a water-cooled wall area of a coal-fired boiler, characterized by the following steps: real-time monitoring of the wall temperature of the boiler water-cooled wall and the flue gas temperature in the furnace;

[0034] Calculating the heat transfer coefficient k based on the wall temperature and the flue gas temperature;

[0035] Determining the coking condition of the water-cooled wall area according to the heat transfer coefficient;

[0036] In response to determining that the coking condition exceeds a threshold value, performing a cleaning operation;

[0037] The cleaning operation includes adjusting the opening of the secondary air damper 3 and starting the steam blowing system.

[0038] The above is only an embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, as described in the specification and drawings of the present application, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
