Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of flow-accelerated corrosion testing technology, and specifically relates to a flow-accelerated corrosion simulation test system and method for air-cooled islands. Background Technology

[0002] Air-cooled islands are used to cool the high-temperature exhaust steam from steam turbines in thermal power units, and they are widely used in coal-rich and water-scarce regions. Currently, the main material for constructing air-cooled islands is carbon steel, which is extremely susceptible to corrosion in high-temperature dissolved oxygen water environments. In particular, the accelerated corrosion caused by single-phase or gas-liquid two-phase flow (FAC) of the air-cooled island due to steam turbine exhaust is especially severe.

[0003] Theoretical calculations show that in ultra-supercritical direct air-cooled units, the exhaust steam velocity of the turbine can reach over 60 m / s, and the surface liquid phase or liquid film velocity of the main exhaust pipe is over 15 m / s. Under high-velocity wet steam or liquid film, the Fe3O4 oxide film formed on the inner surface of carbon steel will continue to dissolve, causing the iron content in the unit's water-steam system to exceed the standard, resulting in corrosion and deposition of carbon steel components in the air-cooled island. Among them, the wall thickness of the air-cooled heat dissipation tubes is mostly 1.5 mm. Long-term operational corrosion may lead to local thinning failure, causing air or pollutants to leak in. On the one hand, this will cause an increase in turbine back pressure or water-steam quality pollution, and on the other hand, it will lead to high-temperature steam leakage, posing a significant threat to the safety of life and property in the surrounding area.

[0004] Currently, research on flow-accelerated corrosion in air-cooled islands is still in its early stages. Existing simulation devices cannot simulate high flow rates and oxygen-free conditions, resulting in significant errors in the simulation results. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a flow-accelerated corrosion simulation system for air-cooled islands to realistically simulate corrosion conditions, explore its corrosion mechanism, and reduce or inhibit corrosion. This has significant theoretical and practical implications for protecting thermal equipment and increasing the cycle water production of fine-treatment mixed beds. Summary of the Invention

[0071] As attached Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also provides a method for simulating accelerated corrosion in an air-cooled island, specifically including the following steps:

[0072] Step 1: Turn on the magnetic pump 14, heater 3, automatic temperature controller 2, fourth flow meter 30, conductivity meter 20, dissolved oxygen meter 24, first temperature sensor 42, and second temperature sensor 43; then, sequentially turn on the gas source 8, pressure reducing valve 44, water tank gas supply shut-off valve 6, chemical dosing tank gas supply shut-off valve 9, and electrode flow cell gas supply shut-off valve 10 to introduce inert gas into the high-purity water tank 1, first chemical dosing tank 11, second chemical dosing tank 12, 180° electrode flow cell 35, and 90° electrode flow cell 37, respectively; preferably, the inert gas... Nitrogen gas is used as the inert gas; and the cooler 15, the first sampling shut-off valve 16, the first flow meter 17, the second sampling shut-off valve 22, the second flow meter 23, the mixed bed sampling shut-off valve 25, the bypass recirculation ball valve 28, the main circuit outlet ball valve 29, the main circuit bypass ball valve 33, and the main circuit return ball valve 39 are turned on to allow the system to continuously circulate for a preset time period, continuously introducing inert gas to keep the dissolved oxygen <5μg / L and the temperature 50~70℃; when the online hydrogen conductivity is <0.10μS / cm, the mixed bed sampling shut-off valve 25 is turned off.

[0073] Step 2: Open the first three-way valve 18 to switch the measurement mode of the conductivity meter 20 from hydrogen conductivity to direct conductivity; open the dosing shut-off valve 13 to add alkalizing agent into the main circuit outlet pipe, and control the opening degree of the dosing shut-off valve 13 so that the direct conductivity reading of the water sample in the system is 2.2 to 5.4 μS / cm; that is, when converting to pH, the pH of the water sample in the system is 8.9 to 9.3.

[0074] Alternatively, open the dosing shut-off valve 13, add oxidant into the main circuit outlet pipe, and control the opening degree of the dosing shut-off valve 13. Take samples at manual sampling points and monitor the concentration of oxidant in the system water sample using instrument testing to keep the concentration of oxidant at 0-2 mg / L. Preferably, the oxidant is hydrogen peroxide.

[0075] Step 3: Close the main circuit bypass ball valve 33, turn on the corrosion tester 34, open the first inlet shut-off valve 31, and record the polarization resistance of the second test electrode 38 in the 90° electrode flow cell 37.

[0076] Step 4: Close the first inlet shut-off valve 31, turn on the corrosion tester 34, and open the second inlet shut-off valve 32. Record the polarization resistance of the first test electrode 36 in the 180° electrode flow cell 35.

[0077] Step 5: Since the corrosion system is controlled by activation polarization, when the natural corrosion potential Ecorr of the corroded metal is far from the equilibrium potential of the two local reactions, the electrode potential E and the corrosion current I conform to the Stern-Geary equation; that is, there is a linear relationship between the change in current and the change in potential near the corrosion potential. Specifically, based on the polarization resistance of the first test electrode 36 and the polarization resistance of the second test electrode 38, the corrosion results of the test electrodes can be obtained using the linear scan (step) method or the AC impedance method, and then the results of the air-cooled island flow accelerated corrosion simulation test can be obtained.

[0078] Step 6: After the experiment is completed, turn off the magnetic pump 14, heater 3, automatic temperature controller 2, fourth flow meter 30, conductivity meter 20, dissolved oxygen meter 24, first temperature sensor 42, and second temperature sensor 43; then, turn off the gas source 8, pressure reducing valve 44, water tank gas supply shut-off valve 6, chemical dosing tank gas supply shut-off valve 9, and electrode flow cell gas supply shut-off valve 10; next, open the drain port 5 of the high-purity water tank 1 to drain the liquid in the high-purity water tank 1; then, open the inlet port 7 of the high-purity water tank 1, inject high-purity water, and turn on the magnetic pump 14 to recirculate the loop and clean the system. Repeat the cleaning 2 to 3 times until the hydrogen conductivity is less than 0.10 μS / cm.

[0079] As attached Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The figure shows electrode corrosion polarization curves with different oxidant concentrations at the same pH; from the appendix... Figure 3 The corrosion current density and corrosion rate can be obtained from the data, as shown in Table 1 below; from the attached... Figure 3 As shown in Table 1, with the increase of the oxidant concentration, the corrosion current density gradually decreases, and although the corrosion rate decreases simultaneously, it tends to level off. The corrosion prevention effect is optimal when the concentration of the oxidant added to the test solution is 0.9–1.03 mg / L.

[0081] Theoretical dosage concentration (mg / L) <![CDATA[Corrosion current density (μA / cm 2 )]]> <![CDATA[Corrosion rate (g / m 2. h)]]> 0 2.672 0.045 0.30 1.871 0.037 0.60 1.364 0.028 0.90 1.018 0.019 1.03 1.012 0.019

[0082] It should be noted that the cooler 15 is an air cooler; the first flow meter 17, the second flow meter 23 and the third flow meter 26 are all float flow meters, and the fourth flow meter 30 is a turbine digital display flow meter; the first three-way valve 18 and the second three-way valve 21 are both three-way shut-off valves.

[0083] The simulation test system and method described in this embodiment use a fourth flow meter 30, a main circuit outlet water pressure gauge 41, a first temperature sensor 42, and a second temperature sensor in the main circuit to monitor the flow rate, pressure, and temperature of the water sample in the system, respectively. An oxidant or alkalizing agent is added to the main circuit outlet pipe through a dosing subsystem to adjust the conductivity and oxygen content of the system's operating conditions. A mixed bed 27 is used to purify the pure water in the high-purity water tank 1. A corrosion tester 34 is used to examine the polarization resistance of the carbon steel electrode when it reaches a steady state in solutions of different concentrations of alkalizing agent, oxidant, or a combination of both, to assess its corrosion resistance.

[0084] In this invention, a main loop recirculation and multi-point nitrogen deoxygenation method are used to improve the deoxygenation effect of the system, making the dissolved oxygen in the system less than 5 μg / L; by isolating and protecting the electrodes in the flow cell from the interference and oxidation effects of dissolved oxygen in the water, the original state of the electrodes is truly reflected, reducing experimental errors; a three-electrode system is used to eliminate the influence of pure water resistance on electrochemical corrosion measurement; and the narrow slit design of the flow cell allows the flow velocity to be greater than 20 m / s, maximally simulating the accelerated corrosion of 90° bends and 180° straight pipes under actual working conditions.

[0085] The above embodiments are merely one of the implementation methods for achieving the technical solution of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed by the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, but also includes any variations, substitutions and other implementation methods that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention.
