Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of condenser leakage detection, and relates to an online positioning system and method for a condenser leakage pipe based on gas detection. Background Art

[0002] The condenser is an important equipment of the generator set. When the condenser leaks, the condensate will be contaminated, the water vapor quality of the thermal system will deteriorate, and the thermal system equipment will be seriously corroded, scaled, and salted, threatening the safe operation of the unit.

[0003] There are two main leak detection technologies for condenser leaking pipes: manual inspection and water filling inspection. Manual inspection requires manual entry into the condenser water chamber after shutdown to check tens of thousands of heat exchange tubes. The maintenance workload is very large. When the condenser is half-operating, manual inspection methods are used to check for leaks. The inside of the condenser water chamber is in a high temperature and high humidity environment, which poses a major safety problem. Water filling inspection requires filling the steam side of the condenser with water, and manually entering the condenser water chamber to observe the leakage of the condenser heat exchange tube to locate the leaking tube. This method can only detect larger leaks, but is powerless for minor leaks, and will cause a large waste of water resources.

[0004] When a condenser leaks, the half condenser with the leak is usually shut down and the circulating water of the condenser on that side is drained. At this time, the unit can carry 75% load without shutting down. If the location of the condenser leakage pipe can be found online during the period when the condenser leakage side is shut down and the water is drained, it will greatly save the workload of leak detection of the condenser leakage pipe, break the dilemma of shutting down the condenser leakage pipe for manual inspection, and is of great significance for the unit to resume normal operation as soon as possible and ensure the economic operation of the unit. Summary of the invention

[0007] The inlet of the mixed gas supply electric shut-off valve is connected to the air supply and air pipeline mixer, and the outlet of the mixed gas supply electric shut-off valve is connected to the top of the circulating water inlet water chamber and the top of the circulating water outlet water chamber in the condenser; the inlet of the vacuum pump is connected to the air cooling area on the steam side of the condenser, and the outlet of the vacuum pump is connected to the leak detector through the leak detector air inlet electric shut-off valve and the gas inhaler; the water chamber drain electric valve is connected to the bottom of the circulating water inlet water chamber or the bottom of the circulating water outlet water chamber; the circulating water inlet pipeline is connected to the circulating water inlet water chamber through the circulating water inlet electric butterfly valve, and the circulating water outlet pipe is connected to the circulating water outlet water chamber through the circulating water outlet electric butterfly valve, and the water chamber liquid level meter is arranged outside the circulating water inlet water chamber or the circulating water outlet water chamber.

[0009] The air supply and air line mixers are venturi mixers.

[0010] The water chamber drain electric valve is an electric regulating valve, which is located at the bottom of the circulating water inlet water chamber or the circulating water outlet water chamber.

[0011] The method for online positioning of a condenser leakage pipe based on gas detection of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0012] When the condenser leaks, close the circulating water inlet electric butterfly valve and the circulating water outlet electric butterfly valve, isolate the leaking condenser, open the mixed gas supply electric shut-off valve, open the gas cylinder outlet angle valve, open the gas supply electric shut-off valve, adjust the outlet pressure of the pressure reducing valve to 0.1-0.2MPa, adjust the opening of the gas supply flow regulating valve, control the flow rate detected by the flow meter to 100-300L / h, and mix the leak detection gas and air in the gas supply and air pipeline mixer according to the preset ratio to form the leak pipe positioning gas, and then pass it into the circulating water inlet water chamber and the circulating water outlet water chamber;

[0013] While supplying air to the circulating water inlet chamber and the circulating water outlet chamber, open the water chamber drain electric valve, set the initial opening of the water chamber drain electric valve, monitor the change of the condenser circulating water level through the water chamber level gauge, and calculate the decreasing speed v of the circulating water level within the time period every first preset time. 实际 , given the circulating water level reduction speed setting value v 设定 , given the decreasing speed deviation value Δv of circulating water level, when |v 实际 -v 设定When ∣≤Δv, the current opening of the water chamber drain electric valve remains unchanged. 实际 -v 设定 ∣>Δv, when v 实际 >v 设定 , then the opening of the N% water chamber drain electric valve is reduced every second preset time. 实际 <v 设定 , then the opening of the N% water chamber drain electric valve is increased every third preset time to keep the decreasing speed of the circulating water level stable;

[0014] While draining the circulating water inlet chamber and the circulating water outlet chamber, open the leak detector air inlet electric shut-off valve, start the gas aspirator and the leak detector. When the circulating water level drops to the position of the leaking pipe row, the leak detection gas enters the steam side of the condenser through the leakage hole of the leakage pipe. The vacuum pump extracts the leak detection gas leaked to the steam side of the condenser, and then uses the leak detector to detect changes in the leak detection gas concentration. When the change value of the leak detection gas concentration of the leak detector exceeds the set value, the position of the leaking pipe row is located according to the height detected by the water chamber level gauge.

[0015] The leak detection gas is helium or hydrogen, etc., which has a low content in the air and is easy to detect, preferably helium.

[0020] Increase the opening of the water chamber drain electric valve by 1-5% every 10-30 seconds;
