AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing methods for monitoring flue gas velocity at the furnace outlet are limited and susceptible to sensor damage or positional deviations, resulting in inaccurate measurements and an inability to achieve uniform adjustment of fuel within the furnace.

Method used

By setting up several sampling tubes in conjunction with a video acquisition module and an image preprocessing module, a flow velocity matrix is ​​constructed and adjusted. Combined with a database of the furnace's internal structure and combustion direction, precise measurement and uniformity adjustment of the flue gas velocity at the furnace outlet are achieved.

🎯Benefits of technology

It enables precise measurement of flue gas velocity at the furnace outlet, avoiding the problem of inaccurate measurement, and adjusts fuel distribution through comparative analysis to ensure uniform combustion.

Abstract

The application provides a flue gas flow rate monitoring system at a furnace outlet, comprising: a speed measurement module, configured to collect first flue gas of the furnace at a specified time based on a sampling tube, and to construct a first flow rate matrix; a video acquisition module, configured to monitor and acquire flue gas video of the furnace outlet in real time, and to construct a video frame set for each sampling tube; an image preprocessing module, configured to perform image preprocessing on each three adjacent frame in the video frame set of the same sampling tube, and to construct a second flow rate matrix; an array acquisition module, configured to adjust each current output flow rate based on the first flow rate matrix and the second flow rate matrix, and to acquire an actual flow rate array of the furnace outlet; and a uniformity adjustment module, configured to compare and analyze the actual flow rate array with a standard flow rate array, and to adjust the uniformity of fuel in the furnace. The application avoids inaccurate measurement caused by the single and damage of the measuring device, and further realizes the uniformity adjustment of the fuel in the furnace.
