Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal feeder technology, specifically to a method for early warning of coal blockage in the coal feeder chutes of a CFB boiler. Background Technology

[0002] In CFB boilers of thermal power plants, the coal feeding system mainly consists of raw coal hoppers, belt feeders, and connecting coal chutes. The coal fed is mainly low-calorific-value coal, and the coal type is often unstable. When the coal has a high moisture content or a large amount of coal slime, it is easy for coal to stick to the coal chutes, reducing the flow area and causing coal blockage in the coal chutes and feeders. The traditional solution is to install a coal blockage detection device at the tail of the feeder and a vibratory air cannon to clear blockages from the feeder outlet to the furnace coal chutes. When the coal blockage detection device alarms or the feeder current exceeds the limit, it is considered that the coal chutes or feeders are blocked, the feeder is stopped, and the vibratory air cannon is started to clear the blockage. When the blockage is severe, manual clearing is required, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, there is a backflow of hot flue gas in the furnace during the clearing process, which seriously affects the personal safety of the clearing personnel. If it is difficult to clear and restore in a short time, it will cause unit load fluctuations and threaten the safe and stable operation of the unit. The reason for this is that the blockage in the coal chute cannot be detected in time. By the time the blockage detection device alarms or the current of the coal feeder exceeds the limit, the blockage situation is often already very serious, which is a serious delay. Furthermore, the blockage detection device is prone to false alarms due to the influence of coal type and installation location, and cannot reflect the blockage situation in a timely and accurate manner in actual production operation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for early warning of coal blockage in the coal feeder chutes of a CFB boiler, solving the problem of difficulty in providing early warning of coal blockage in the coal feeder chutes of a CFB boiler.

[0005] (II) Technical Solution

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a CFB boiler coal feeder coal chute blockage early warning system, comprising a coal feeder sealing air flow parameter transmitter, a coal feeder sealing air pressure parameter transmitter, a coal feeder coal chute blockage early warning signal parameter transmitter, a blockage coefficient parameter transmitter, a low selection threshold module, a set value module, an offset set value module, a switching module, an adder module, and a divider module.

[0007] Preferably, the system achieves early warning by configuring these parameters and modules in the distributed control system configuration software of the thermal power plant.

[0008] A method for early warning of coal blockage in the coal feeder chutes of a CFB boiler specifically includes the following steps:

[0009] S1. Install air volume transmitters and sealing air pressure transmitters in the sealing air duct of the coal feeder. Sum the sealing air flow of all normally operating coal feeders and divide by the sum of the sealing air pressure of all normally operating coal feeders.

[0010] S2. The average value obtained is added to the bias setting value to obtain the reference threshold. Finally, the coal feeder's coal drop pipe is blocked by measuring whether the ratio of the coal feeder's sealing air flow rate and sealing air pressure is less than the threshold.

[0011] S3. When coal blockage occurs in the coal drop pipe at the lower end of the coal feeder, the sealing airflow of the coal feeder shows a downward trend, while the pressure shows an upward trend. Therefore, the coal blockage coefficient curve shows a downward trend. Once it falls below the threshold, a coal blockage warning signal can be triggered.

[0012] Preferably, the method further includes using the ratio of the sealing air volume to the sealing air pressure of the coal feeder as a coal blockage coefficient. This coefficient changes significantly during the coal blockage process of the coal feeder, reacts quickly, and shows a more obvious trend, which can alert operators to coal blockage abnormalities earlier.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] This invention provides a method for early warning of coal blockage in the coal feeder chute of a CFB boiler. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention provides a method for early warning of coal blockage in the coal feeder chute of a CFB boiler. This invention solves the technical problem of difficulty in providing early warning of coal blockage in the coal feeder chute of a CFB boiler. The purpose is to provide a method and system for early warning of coal blockage in the coal feeder chute of a CFB boiler. To prevent the positive pressure high-temperature flue gas from the boiler combustion chamber from backflowing into the coal feeder through the coal feeder chute and damaging the feeder belt, a special sealing air supply line provided by the cold primary air is designed at the head of each coal feeder. Flow and pressure measuring points are installed to monitor the sealing condition of the coal feeder, ensuring that the positive pressure high-temperature flue gas from the boiler combustion chamber does not backflow into the coal feeder. When coal blockage occurs in the coal chute at the lower end of the coal feeder, an early warning system is established. The coal feeder's sealing airflow shows a decreasing trend while the pressure shows an increasing trend. This invention determines whether the coal feeder's chutes are blocked by measuring whether the ratio of the coal feeder's sealing airflow to its pressure (defined as the coal blockage coefficient) is less than a threshold. If it is less than the threshold, it is determined that there is a tendency to blockage, triggering a coal blockage warning. The threshold is determined by adding an offset setting value to the average value obtained by dividing the sum of the sealing airflow of all normally operating coal feeders by the sum of the sealing air pressure of all normally operating coal feeders. Compared with traditional coal blockage warning methods, this method is more sensitive, proactive, and accurate, and can detect coal blockage in the chutes earlier, adjust the coal feed rate in time, and take measures to clear the blockage, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the unit.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a CFB boiler coal feeder coal chute blockage early warning system, including a coal feeder sealing air flow parameter transmitter, a coal feeder sealing air pressure parameter transmitter, a coal feeder coal chute blockage early warning signal parameter transmitter, a blockage coefficient parameter transmitter, a low selection threshold module, a set value module, an offset set value module, a switching module, an adder module, and a divider module.

[0023] By configuring these parameters and modules in the distributed control system configuration software of thermal power plants, early warning can ultimately be achieved.

[0024] A method for early warning of coal blockage in the coal feeder chutes of a CFB boiler specifically includes the following steps:
