Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a mobile capacitance tomography sensor and an imaging device, belonging to the technical field of sensor application. Background Art

[0002] Circulating fluidized bed reactors have a very broad application field and prospects in industry. Through a precise circulation control system, the circulating fluidized bed reactor allows the catalytic reaction and the rapid regeneration of the catalyst to be carried out in different systems, and through circulation coupling, a regeneration circulation system is formed to achieve the integration of production and catalyst regeneration, and maintain the stability of the catalyst amount in the fluidized bed. This not only solves the problem of catalyst deactivation, but also has a large production capacity and high production efficiency, and realizes the continuity of the production process.

[0003] The structure of a circulating fluidized bed is relatively complex, and the particle distribution state of different bed layers affects the results of the catalytic reaction. The particle movements of each bed layer are closely related. Therefore, online real-time visual imaging of multiple beds in a confined space flow process is of great significance for the control of the fluidized operation state of the circulating fluidized bed.

[0004] ECT refers to electrical capacitance tomography, which is a measurement technology that uses the functional relationship between capacitance and the dielectric constant of the measured medium to reconstruct the dielectric constant distribution of the measured medium through multiple pairs of capacitance values. When used in fluidized bed measurements, the solid concentration distribution in the measured area can be obtained. It has the characteristics of fast imaging speed, no radiation, and low cost.

[0005] There are several key issues to be addressed in designing a mobile electrical capacitance tomography sensor that can be used for multi-layer measurement in a circulating fluidized bed:

[0006] The first is to modularize the sensor design to make it movable. The accurate measurement of the capacitive signal needs to be solved, and the design of the electrode must be solved first.

[0007] The second is that the sensor module is separated from the circulating fluidized bed, and the electrode moves outside the circulating fluidized bed. The size of the gap between the electrode and the bed affects the test results, and the sensor accessories need to be precisely processed.

[0008] The third is the arbitrary combination of multiple sensor components, with one device having multiple uses, requiring strict size matching and precise positioning.

[0009] The fourth is the manufacturing process problem. The mobile electrical capacitance tomography sensor for measuring multiple layers of a circulating fluidized bed contains multiple sensor modules and numerous signal lines, which are extremely difficult to arrange. To obtain high-quality signals, the manufacturing process must be meticulous and highly consistent.

[0010] The fifth is the processing and analysis of multi-level acquisition parameters, as well as the discussion of correlations and rules.

[0011] So far, there has been no report on the mobile capacitance tomography sensor technology that can be used for measuring multiple layers of a circulating fluidized bed. The mobile imaging device based on capacitance tomography sensors in the prior art is limited to tomography testing of solid objects, and has not been used for gas-solid two-phase fluidization detection of a fluidized bed, nor has it achieved simultaneous detection of multiple layers of a fluidized bed, and has not been applied to chemical and catalytic reactions.

[0045] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , a mobile capacitance tomography sensor that can be used for measuring multiple layers of a circulating fluidized bed. Here, a circulating fluidized bed with an outer diameter of 45.5 mm is selected as the test target. Each sensor slider 100 includes an array measuring electrode 101, an electrode support tube 102, an upper supporting flange 105, a lower supporting flange 106, an axial end shielding electrode 107, a signal transmission line 109, and an outer shielding cover 108; a multi-layer electrode slider adds a supporting ring 103 and an interlayer shielding electrode 104 between adjacent measuring electrodes 101.

[0047] The array measuring electrodes 101 of the sensor slider 100 are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the electrode support tube 102. Each layer of the array measuring electrodes 101 includes M sheet measuring electrodes of the same size, where M is an integer from 8 to 16. The effective length of the measuring electrode 101 is the same as that of the electrode support tube 102. Different values ​​can be selected for the effective length of the measuring electrode 101 depending on the purpose.

[0048] A 0.05 mm thick copper foil with self-adhesive tape is selected as the electrode material of the measuring electrode. The length of a single electrode cut is longer than the sum of the electrode support tube 102 and twice the wall thickness of the electrode support tube 102. Taking an electrode support tube 102 with a length of 40 mm, a wall thickness of 3 mm, and an inner diameter of 45.8 as an example: the cut electrode length is 56 mm (effective length 40 mm) to ensure that the measuring electrode 101 has a 5 mm protruding end after it is attached to the inner wall and both ends of the electrode support tube 102 and attached to the outer wall of the electrode support tube 102 for welding the signal transmission line 109.

[0049] The inner wall of the electrode support tube 102 is slightly larger than the sum of the diameter of the circulating fluidized bed tube and twice the thickness of the measuring electrode 101, to ensure smooth movement and fit with the outer wall of the circulating fluidized bed.

[0050] The upper support flange 105 and the lower support flange 106 of the capacitance tomography sensor slider 100 have the same structure and are composed of a flange tube 111 and a flange plate 110. The upper support flange 105 and the lower support flange 106 are arranged at both ends of the electrode support tube 102. The inner diameter of the flange tube 111 is slightly larger than the diameter of the circulating fluidized bed tube, and the outer diameter of the flange tube 111 is equal to the outer diameter of the electrode support tube 102. The outer wall of the flange tube 111 is provided with an axial end shielding electrode 107. The flange plate 110 is provided with radial series holes 113 for serially connecting a scale metal rod 200 with a scale. The diameter of the series holes 113 on the flange plate 110 is consistent with the diameter of the scale metal rod 200 with a scale (for example, it can be 10 mm). The flange plate 110 is provided with a corresponding thickness (10 mm). The flange plate 110 is provided with a transverse threaded hole 112 in the middle of one side of the flange plate 110 close to the series hole 113 for fixing the position of each ECT sensor slider 100 to control its height position in the circulating fluidized bed.

The support ring 103 is made of insulating material (in this embodiment, it can be organic glass), and its inner and outer diameters are equal to the inner and outer diameters of the flange tube 111. A ring-shaped interlayer shielding electrode 104 is attached to the middle of the outer wall of the support ring 103; the height of the interlayer shielding electrode 104 is less than the height of the support ring 103, and it is located in the middle of the support ring to maintain insulation from the measuring electrode 101.

[0053] The electrode support tube 102 is coaxially bonded to one end of the flange tube 111 of the upper support flange 105 and the lower support flange 106 respectively with an organic insulating adhesive (AB glue can be used in this embodiment), and at the same time, the series holes 113 on the flange plate 110 must also be coaxial to form a whole.

[0054] A sensor slider 100 containing multiple layers of electrodes, wherein a support ring 103 and an interlayer shielding electrode 104 assembly are placed between adjacent measuring electrodes 101 and electrode support tube 102 assemblies, are bonded together with an organic insulating adhesive and maintained axially coaxially to form a multi-layer measuring electrode assembly, and then the assembly is coaxially bonded to one end of the flange tube 111 of the upper support flange 105 and the lower support flange 106 to form a whole.

[0055] During all bonding processes, the coaxiality must be strictly maintained while ensuring that the inner walls of each tube are clean and smooth.

[0056] An outer shielding cover 108 is arranged axially outside the array measurement electrode 101 and the axial end shielding electrode 107 (including the interlayer shielding electrode 104 ), and the outer shielding cover 108 covers the entire array measurement electrode 101 and the axial end shielding electrode 107 (including the interlayer shielding electrode 104 ) and maintains insulation from the array measurement electrode 101 .

[0057] N ECT sensor sliders 100 are connected in series with a scaled metal rod 200, and each ECT sensor slider 100 is fixed at a different scale position by a fixing member (which can be a fixing screw) 201 according to measurement requirements; in this embodiment, the scaled metal rod 200 is a customized stainless steel rod with a diameter of 10 mm and engraved with length units, and the length is determined according to the height of the circulating fluidized bed; the fixing screws are M3 screws of appropriate length.

[0058] The ECT sensor sliders 100 used on the same circulating fluidized bed body are kept coaxial; the axis is the axis of the circulating fluidized bed body tube.

The collected capacitance data is sent to the capacitance tomography signal acquisition module 300 via the signal transmission line 109, and then transmitted to the imaging display module 400 by the capacitance tomography signal acquisition module 300 to complete image reconstruction.

[0061] The N sensor sliders 100 can be used in combination or independently as a single sensor according to needs.

[0062] The capacitance data collected by the multiple capacitance tomography sensor sliders 100 according to the number of electrodes of each slider is input into one or more capacitance tomography signal acquisition modules 300, and then transmitted to the imaging display module 400 by the capacitance tomography signal acquisition module 300 to complete data processing and image reconstruction, thereby obtaining important information such as different bed layers of the circulating fluidized bed and the correlation between the bed layers.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the circulating fluidized bed is 45.5 mm, and the design size of the ECT sensor slider 100 applied to bed modules of other sizes can be changed accordingly. The measuring electrode 102 of the ECT sensor slider 100 of the present application is 40 mm long. The size and number of the measuring electrodes 102 can be designed in various ways according to the circumference of the circulating fluidized bed, the spacing and length of the measuring electrodes 102, and are not limited to the above parameter design.
