Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a control method and system for preventing air duct blockage, and in particular to an automatic control method for preventing primary air duct blockage of a pulverized coal boiler in a thermal power plant and a system for implementing the method. Background Art

[0002] In the boiler of a large coal-fired power generation unit that adopts an intermediate storage bin type exhaust gas pulverized coal feeding and pulverizing system, during normal operation, the pulverized coal in the pulverized coal bin is fed into the furnace through the primary air duct by the pulverizer feeder and the exhaust gas of the pulverizing system for combustion. Since the blockage of the primary air duct can easily cause the air duct to catch fire, which poses a great threat to the safe operation of the boiler unit, it is necessary to monitor the air pressure changes in the primary air duct to determine the amount of pulverized coal in the primary air duct and thus determine whether the primary air duct is blocked so that timely treatment can be carried out to prevent safety accidents.

[0003] The existing method of determining whether a primary air duct is blocked usually relies on the operator's experience, which has a lag and is difficult to detect in time at the initial stage of primary air duct blockage. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The plurality of wind pressure testers are electrically connected to a processor respectively, and the processor is electrically connected to the powder feeder for controlling the start and stop of the powder feeder, speed change, primary wind pressure abnormality alarm and speed regulation mode switching.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The present invention monitors the air pressure values ​​at the primary air duct of the powder feeder and the outlet of the powder discharger in real time, monitors the size, duration, and variation range of the air pressure value of the primary air duct, and the size and duration of the air pressure value at the outlet, and automatically determines whether the primary air duct is blocked in combination with the operating state of the powder feeder, the size, duration, and variation range of the air pressure value of the primary air duct and / or the size and duration of the air pressure value at the outlet, and automatically controls the start and stop of the powder feeder, speed change, primary air pressure abnormality alarm, and speed adjustment mode switching, so that blockage of the primary air duct can be discovered in time in the initial stage, solving the problem of serious blockage of the primary air duct caused by lag in manual judgment, which easily leads to safety accidents.
