Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of air preheater, in particular to an intelligent soot blowing system of air preheater. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the air preheater blockage problem has become a common and stubborn problem, and the air preheater congestion has been a pain point for the operation of the unit. The reasons for the blockage are various. With the large popularization and application of boiler denitration devices, the residual ammonia and sulfur trioxide in the flue gas will produce ammonium bisulfate, which will have a serious negative impact on the rotary preheater. The heat transfer elements of the preheater will be corroded and blocked, and finally the heat transfer elements will be damaged to different degrees, which will have an important impact on the normal operation of the preheater and the boiler.

[0003] At present, the main treatment scheme for the blockage of the heat transfer elements of the air preheater is to increase the height of the cold end element and to use high-pressure water flushing. However, with the decline of the boiler coal quality and the unstable operation of the ammonia injection equipment, ammonium bisulfate will deposit in a certain area of the cold end element of the air preheater. With the continuous adsorption of the ash, the entire element will be blocked, which will continuously increase the operating resistance of the air preheater and gradually reduce the heat exchange efficiency. Once it is realized that the blockage is serious, the overall high-pressure soot blowing method will have little effect, and the blind increase of the flushing pressure when using the online flushing method will also damage the element and cause irreversible impact.

[0043] Examples:

[0044] As Figures 1 to 9As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the present application provides an air preheater intelligent soot blowing system, comprising a heat transfer element blockage detection module, a soot blowing module and a visual monitoring module, the heat transfer element blockage detection module is used to detect the specific position of the blockage of the heat transfer element of the air preheater, the soot blowing module is used to clean the blockage in the heat transfer element, and the visual monitoring module is used to monitor the blockage and wear of the heat transfer element of the air preheater and the surface temperature of the heat transfer element in real time.

[0045] The soot blowing module comprises a soot blower 21, a blowing medium supply device and a main control cabinet 23. The soot blower 21 comprises a soot blowing gun pipe, an external telescopic pipe 20, an external running car 18, a wall box 19, an external sealing sleeve 16 and an internal gun pipe support 15. The wall box 19 and the external running car 18 are located outside the air preheater shell 11. The external telescopic pipe 20 is movable relative to the position of the air preheater shell. The external running car 18 is fixed on the external telescopic pipe 20 and drives the external telescopic pipe 20 and the wall box 19 to move forward and backward. A first through hole is formed on the air preheater shell. The external sealing sleeve 16 is welded at the first through hole. The internal gun pipe support 15 is located inside the air preheater shell 11 and is fixed on the air preheater shell 11. One end of the external telescopic pipe 20 is connected with the wall box 19, and the other end penetrates into the external sealing sleeve 16 and enters the internal gun pipe support 15. The external telescopic pipe 20 is movable in the external sealing sleeve 16 and the internal gun pipe support 15. The soot blowing gun pipe penetrates through the first through hole on the air preheater shell 11, the external telescopic pipe 20 and an internal interface of the wall box 19 in sequence and is fixed. An external blowing medium interface on the wall box 19 is connected with the blowing medium supply device. A valve is arranged on the soot blowing gun pipe. The main control cabinet 23 controls the movement of the external running car 18 and the opening and closing of the valve.

[0046] The external telescopic pipe 20 is a hollow tubular structure. The external running car 18 is fixedly installed on the external telescopic pipe 20 and drives the external telescopic pipe 20 and the wall box 19 to move forward and backward on the external bracket 17, so as to drive the soot blowing gun pipe to move to the blockage position along the movement direction of the external telescopic pipe 20 and clean the blockage position.

[0047] The soot blowing gun pipe comprises two gun pipes, namely a gun pipe one 13 and a gun pipe two 14. The gun pipe one 13 and the gun pipe two 14 are provided with nozzles and are movable. The gun pipe one 13 and the gun pipe two 14 are installed in the internal gun pipe support 15 and penetrate through the external telescopic pipe 20 and are fixed with the internal interface of the wall box 19. The external blowing medium interface of the wall box 19 is connected with the blowing medium supply device and is leakproof. The internal gun pipe support 15 is located inside the air preheater shell 11.

[0048] The internal gun pipe support 15 is composed of a channel steel and a pipe clamp. The pipe clamp is installed on the channel steel. The soot blowing gun pipe is slidable in the internal gun pipe support 15, so as to prevent the soot blowing gun pipe from vibrating greatly during blowing,

[0049] During on-site installation, first position and fix the external bracket 17 in the corresponding position. Then, open the first through hole at the corresponding position of the air preheater housing 11 and seal and weld the external sealing sleeve 16. Insert the first barrel 13 and the second barrel 14 into the hole of the external sealing sleeve 16 together. Install the internal barrel bracket 15 and position the first barrel 13 and the second barrel 14 so that they can move back and forth. Seal and weld the external sealing sleeve 16 to the air preheater housing 11. The first barrel 13 and the second barrel 14 pass through the external telescopic tube 20 and are connected and fixed to the internal purging medium interface on the wall box 19. After the external carriage 18, the external telescopic tube 20 and the wall box 19 are assembled as a whole, they are installed and positioned with the external bracket 17 so that the external telescopic tube 20 can move back and forth under the drive of the external carriage 18.

[0050] When the purging medium supplied by the purging medium supply equipment is steam, it is defined as a steam soot blowing module, and the purging medium supply equipment is specifically a steam source supply equipment 22; when the purging medium supplied by the purging medium supply equipment is high-pressure water, it is defined as a high-pressure water soot blowing module, and the high-pressure water is supplied by a high-pressure water pump 26.

[0051] In the high-pressure water soot blowing module, the soot blower 21 is set at the cold end of the air preheater, and the high-pressure water pump 26 is connected to the power supply equipment 28, the water supply equipment 27 and the main control cabinet 23; there are two steam soot blowing modules, with the two soot blowers 21 set at the cold end and the hot end of the air preheater respectively.

[0052] Since cold-end blockage of the air preheater is more difficult to clean than hot-end blockage, it is preferable to install high-pressure water soot blowing module and steam soot blowing module at the cold end of the air preheater to improve cleaning efficiency.

[0053] like Figure 7 The diagram shows the control principle of the steam soot blowing module. One soot blower 21 is installed at both the cold and hot ends of the air preheater. The soot blowing nozzles are connected to the steam supply equipment 22. Thermometers 24, pressure gauges 25, and valves are installed on nozzles 13 and 14 within each soot blower 21. All thermometers 24, pressure gauges 25, and valves are connected to the main control cabinet 23. When the heat transfer element blockage detection module detects blockage in the inner area of ​​the air preheater, the main control cabinet 23 calculates the radial distance to the blockage location coordinates based on the preset starting position. The external trolley 18 moves nozzles 13 and 14 together to reach the blockage area inside the heat transfer element, opening only the valve on nozzle 13 for purging. When blockage is detected in the outer area of ​​the air preheater, the external trolley 18 moves nozzles 13 and 14 to the blockage area, opening only the valve on nozzle 14 for purging, thus achieving independent control of the inner and outer purging of the air preheater.

[0054] The steam temperature and pressure detection is provided on the soot blowing gun pipe. If the steam parameters do not meet the design requirements of the blowing, the valve is closed to prevent the heat transfer element from being blown and damaged.

[0055] As shown in Fig. 1, the soot blowing module is installed on the cold end of the air preheater. The soot blowing gun pipe is connected with the high-pressure water pump 26. The valves on the gun pipe one 13 and the gun pipe two 14 are connected with the main control cabinet 23. The high-pressure water pump 26 is connected with the water supply equipment 27 and the power supply equipment 28. Figure 8 As shown in Fig. 2, when the heat transfer element blockage detection module detects that the blockage occurs in the inside region of the air preheater, the gun pipe one 13 and the gun pipe two 14 are moved to the corresponding positions to open only the valve on the gun pipe one 13 to flush. If the blockage region is detected to occur outside the heat transfer element, the gun pipe one 13 and the gun pipe two 14 are moved to the blockage region to open only the valve on the gun pipe two 14 to flush. If the overall cleaning is required, the valve on the gun pipe one 13 is opened first, and then the valve on the gun pipe two 14 is opened to complete the overall blowing in the alternate cleaning mode.

At a certain moment, when the air preheater heat transfer element blockage detection device detects that the B area of the cell 12 is blocked, the proximity switch sends the recorded cell number to the control module, and finally the coordinate information of the blocked area is formed in the control module, for example, (B, 10). After all the detection processes of the cells 12 are completed, the blockage detection device can summarize the dynamic pressure values of all the cells 12 of the air preheater heat transfer element and the corresponding coordinate values into the dynamic pressure data distribution of the entire rotor cell 12, to provide coordinates for subsequent execution of the soot blower 21.

[0068] When detecting, the furnace outer movable trolley 5 drives the furnace outer telescopic pipe 10, the electromagnetic valve box 4, the full pressure detection pipe 1 and the static pressure detection pipe 2 to move axially and detect the full pressure and static pressure of the corresponding position. The innermost detection pipe of the full pressure detection pipe 1 detects the A and B compartments, the middle detection pipe detects the C and D area, and the outermost detection pipe detects the E and F area. The opening and closing of the electromagnetic valve on the corresponding detection pipe is controlled by the electromagnetic valve box 4, and the dynamic pressure value of the detection position is obtained by the pressure transmitter in the electromagnetic valve box 4. When not detecting, the electromagnetic valve of the back blowing pipe 3 is opened to introduce compressed air for back blowing to prevent pipe blockage.

[0069] The visual monitoring module comprises a hot end camera 31, a cold end camera and thermal imaging device 32 and a monitor screen control box 33, the monitor screen control box 33 being connected with the hot end camera 31 and the cold end camera and thermal imaging device 32.

[0070] The hot end camera 31 is a camera for monitoring the operation of the heat transfer element and the sealing sheet in the hot end of the air preheater in real time, and has the function of measuring the gap to detect the radial sealing gap. The cold end camera and thermal imaging device 32 comprises a camera and an infrared thermal imager for monitoring the operation of the heat transfer element and the sealing sheet in the cold end of the air preheater in real time and measuring the surface temperature of the heat transfer element in the cold end, and has the function of fire over-temperature alarm.

[0071] The monitor screen control box 33 can conveniently realize on-site and remote video monitoring, and transmit the temperature data to the monitor screen control box 33 to judge whether the temperature is too high, which is used for DCS to judge whether to perform fire alarm.

[0072] The heat transfer element blockage detection module comprises an air preheater heat transfer element blockage detection device 29, a proximity switch 9 and a control module 30. The air preheater heat transfer element blockage detection device 29 detects the dynamic pressure value of each package of heat transfer element, and the proximity switch 9 synchronously records the current rotor compartment number. Finally, all test data are collected through the control module 30 to obtain a blockage distribution diagram of the entire rotor 35. The control module 30 is connected with the main control cabinet 23 to transmit the coordinates of the area needing treatment to the main control cabinet 23.

[0073] The steam blowing module mainly comprises two blowing devices 21 for cold and hot ends, a steam source supply device 22 and a main control cabinet 23. When the main control cabinet 23 receives the coordinate signal of the heat transfer element blockage detection module, the blowing device 21 at the corresponding position is started to directly reach the blockage area for steam blowing.

[0074] The high-pressure water blowing ash module mainly consists of a blowing ash device 21, a high-pressure water pump 26, a power supply device 28, a water supply device 27 and a main control cabinet 23. The high-pressure water is generated by the high-pressure water pump 26, and the flushing pressure can be as high as 35 MPa. When the main control cabinet 23 receives the coordinate signal of the heat transfer element blockage detection module, the blowing ash device 21 directly reaches the blockage area and uses the corresponding medium for blowing.

[0075] The air preheater intelligent blowing ash system does not need manual judgment and positioning, and is completely automatically detected and judged by the system, with high precision and sensitivity. The system automatically collects the blockage area distribution map using the signal output by the heat transfer element blockage detection module, and transmits the coordinates of the range to be blown to the main control cabinet 23 through the control module 30, and then controls the blowing ash device 21. According to the comparison of the preset data of the system, the blowing ash device 21 intelligently judges the blowing method to be used for processing.

[0076] The air preheater intelligent blowing ash system has full intelligent judgment and processing compared with the traditional large-scale comprehensive and timed blowing, and is suitable for blowing ash under various operating conditions, with high processing efficiency and fast time efficiency. When local blockage occurs in a certain part, it can be processed in time to avoid the accumulation and deterioration of the blockage. Since the inside and outside are divided into different areas for blowing, the amount of blowing medium is also reduced, and the energy consumption of the whole blowing ash system is reduced.

[0077] Finally, it should be noted that: the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the protection scope of the present application patent.
