Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air preheater technology, and more particularly to a method and device for monitoring air leakage in an air preheater. Background Technology

[0002] Air leakage rate is an important performance indicator for air preheaters, reflecting their sealing performance; a lower leakage rate indicates better sealing performance. Although air leakage has little impact on the heat exchange capacity of the air preheater itself, an increased leakage rate leads to increased energy loss in the boiler fan. Therefore, accurately monitoring the air leakage rate of the air preheater is a crucial prerequisite for effective boiler energy conservation.

[0003] Existing technical solutions include those based on the principle of conservation of specific components in the inlet and outlet flue gas, namely the daily leakage rate monitoring method recommended in the air preheater performance test procedures. This method is suitable for air preheater leakage rate tests under grid-based flue gas component measurement conditions. Besides using oxygen concentration in the flue gas as a characteristic component, the concentration of other components (such as nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, etc.) can also be used as characteristic components to calculate the leakage rate. Problems with this solution include: the accuracy of flue gas component concentration measurement greatly affects the final result; when the measurement point deviation is too large, counterintuitive results may occur. For example, when the oxygen content at the air preheater outlet is less than the oxygen content at the inlet, the calculated leakage rate is negative; when the oxygen content at the air preheater outlet is large, the calculated leakage rate exceeds 50%. When applied to online monitoring, this solution is mainly limited by the insufficient number of flue gas component measurement points (or the measurement points themselves are inaccurate). A few counterintuitive results will severely reduce the reliability of the entire system.

[0004] Existing technical solutions also include a daily leakage rate monitoring method based on the principle of conservation of total energy of inlet and outlet fluids, which offers higher accuracy than the flue gas composition method and is suitable for monitoring air preheater leakage rates when the number of online measuring points is limited. It uses the inlet and outlet flue gas temperature and air temperature of the air preheater as the main basic data, supplemented by flue gas static pressure data. Due to the relatively high reliability of temperature and static pressure measuring points, the calculated leakage rate can well reflect the performance change trend of the air preheater. The problems with this solution include: the use of a large variety of basic data, the results being mainly affected by changes in air preheater heat dissipation, and the need for periodic calibration of the calculation results through standardized performance tests.

[0005] Existing technical solutions also include the principle of mass conservation of inlet and outlet fluids, which is another method suitable for online monitoring of air leakage rate. It uses the flue gas and air flow rates at the inlet and outlet of the air preheater as the main basic data, directly conforming to the physical definition of air leakage rate, and the calculated air leakage rate can reflect the performance change trend of the air preheater relatively well. Problems with this solution include: if the flue gas and air flow rates are directly measured using flow measurement points, the measurement error is large, and the reliability of the measurement points is also poor. If the flue gas and air flow rates are estimated using fuel composition, the real-time monitoring is difficult to guarantee when the fuel changes. Summary of the Invention

[0055] This invention provides a method and apparatus for monitoring air leakage in an air preheater.

[0056] 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.

[0057] like Figure 1 The diagram shows a flowchart of an air preheater leakage monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The execution subject of the air preheater leakage monitoring method provided in this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, a computer. This invention solves the problem of monitoring air preheater leakage performance using online measuring points. Under complex equipment and system operating conditions, it utilizes highly reliable online measuring points to obtain relevant boiler data, accurately determining the theoretical and actual leakage rates of the air preheater. This yields the difference in the air preheater leakage rate, and the changes in the leakage rate enable accurate monitoring of the air preheater's leakage status, facilitating quantitative analysis of the evolution of the air preheater leakage rate. The method shown in the diagram includes:

[0058] Step S1: When the boiler is operating under stable output conditions, obtain the boiler fan parameters, fan current and boiler output corresponding to the stable output conditions.

[0059] Step S2: Based on the boiler fan parameters, fan current and boiler output corresponding to the stable output condition, the theoretical air leakage rate and actual air leakage rate of the air preheater are obtained by using the preset air leakage relationship fitting model.

[0060] Step S3: Compare the actual air leakage rate of the air preheater with the theoretical air leakage rate to obtain the air leakage rate difference value, and compare the air leakage rate difference value with a preset threshold to obtain the difference comparison result.

[0061] Step S4: Determine the air preheater leakage monitoring results based on the difference comparison results.

[0062] An air preheater is a heat exchanger that uses the waste heat from the flue gas discharged from the boiler to heat the air entering the boiler. Because the static pressure of the flue gas is less than atmospheric pressure and the static pressure of the air is greater than atmospheric pressure, the static pressure difference drives air to mix into the flue gas through its gaps (or leaks), a phenomenon known as air preheater leakage.

[0063] In addition, the air leakage rate refers to the mass ratio of the amount of air leaking into the flue gas to the amount of flue gas at the inlet of the air preheater, usually expressed as a percentage, in units of %.

[0064] Among them, the boiler operating under stable output conditions is the boiler's benchmark operating condition. Taking a boiler with a stable operating output range of 30%-100% of its rated output as an example, five benchmark operating conditions can be selected: 30%, 40%, 55%, 75%, and 100%.

[0065] Specifically, when the boiler is operating under stable output conditions, the boiler fan parameters, fan current, and boiler output corresponding to these conditions are acquired. This is achieved by setting up monitoring points on the boiler to collect data, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0066] Specifically, the fan current includes the current of the boiler primary air fan, forced draft fan, and induced draft fan.

[0067] Furthermore, the preset air leakage relationship fitting model shows the fitting relationship between the air leakage rate and the boiler output. Therefore, by substituting the boiler fan parameters, fan current and boiler output corresponding to the stable output condition into the air leakage relationship fitting model, the theoretical air leakage rate and the actual air leakage rate of the air preheater can be obtained.

[0068] Specifically, by using a leakage relationship fitting model to calculate data such as fan current, the current characteristic parameters and the theoretical leakage rate of the air preheater can be obtained. Then, based on the current characteristic parameters, the actual leakage rate of the air preheater can be calculated.

[0069] Furthermore, by comparing the actual air leakage rate of the air preheater with the theoretical air leakage rate, the difference comparison result can be obtained. Specifically, the difference between the actual air leakage rate and the theoretical air leakage rate is first calculated, and then the ratio of the difference to the theoretical air leakage rate is calculated. The resulting difference value is the difference comparison result.

[0070] Furthermore, the difference comparison results are compared with a preset threshold. If the difference in air leakage rate is not less than the preset threshold, the stable output condition is determined to be an abnormal condition. At this time, relevant data under the abnormal condition are collected or calculated, including the number of abnormal conditions, the boiler output range covered by the abnormal conditions, the time interval of the abnormal conditions, the dispersion of the difference comparison results, etc. After statistical analysis of these relevant data, the air preheater leakage monitoring results can be determined.

[0071] Specifically, the air preheater leakage monitoring results can show the changes in the leakage rate. Therefore, the air preheater leakage monitoring results are sent to the terminal in the form of statistical charts for display, so that the staff can handle the relevant abnormal conditions and improve the efficiency of abnormal condition handling.

[0072] As one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the air leakage relationship fitting model is established through the following steps:

[0073] Step S5: Under multiple preset boiler reference operating conditions, obtain the average oxygen content of the inlet flue gas section and the average oxygen content of the outlet flue gas section of the air preheater.

[0074] Step S6: Determine the theoretical air leakage rate corresponding to the baseline operating conditions of each boiler based on the average oxygen content of the inlet flue gas section and the average oxygen content of the outlet flue gas section.

[0075] Step S7: Based on the obtained boiler gas static pressure, boiler gas temperature and fan current corresponding to each boiler reference operating condition, determine the current characteristic parameters corresponding to each boiler reference operating condition.

[0076] Step S8: Fit the boiler output, current characteristic parameters and theoretical air leakage rate corresponding to the reference operating conditions of each boiler to obtain the air leakage relationship fitting model.

[0077] For example, taking a boiler that can still operate stably under multiple preset boiler reference conditions with an output range of 30%-100% of its rated output as an example, five reference conditions can be selected: 30%, 40%, 55%, 75%, and 100%. The average oxygen content of the flue gas cross-sections at the inlet and outlet of the air preheater was tested using the grid method, which will not be elaborated here.

[0078] Furthermore, by utilizing the average oxygen content of the inlet flue gas cross section and the average oxygen content of the outlet flue gas cross section, the theoretical air leakage rate corresponding to the baseline operating conditions of each boiler can be calculated.

[0079] Furthermore, conventional methods were used to collect boiler gas static pressure, boiler gas temperature, and fan current corresponding to the baseline operating conditions of each boiler. The boiler output, current characteristic parameters, and theoretical air leakage rate corresponding to the baseline operating conditions of each boiler were then fitted to obtain a fitting model for the air leakage relationship.

[0080] It should be noted that historical data can be used in the process of fitting the air leakage relationship model, which is different from the real-time data used to determine the air preheater leakage monitoring results in steps S1-S4.

[0081] As one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, based on the boiler fan parameters, fan current, and boiler output under stable output conditions, and using a pre-set leakage relationship fitting model, the theoretical and actual leakage rates of the air preheater are obtained, including:

[0082] Step S21: Input the boiler output corresponding to the stable output condition into the air leakage relationship fitting model to obtain the current characteristic parameters and theoretical air leakage rate corresponding to the stable output condition.

[0083] Step S22: Based on the current characteristic parameters, fan current, and boiler gas static pressure, boiler gas temperature, and boiler gas flow rate in the boiler fan parameters corresponding to the stable output condition, the actual air leakage rate of the air preheater is obtained.

[0084] The preset air leakage relationship fitting model shows the fitting relationship between the air leakage rate and the boiler output. Therefore, by substituting the boiler fan parameters, fan current and boiler output corresponding to the stable output condition into the air leakage relationship fitting model, the theoretical air leakage rate and the actual air leakage rate of the air preheater can be obtained.

[0085] Furthermore, by using a leakage relationship fitting model to calculate data such as fan current, the current characteristic parameters and the theoretical leakage rate of the air preheater can be obtained. Then, based on the current characteristic parameters, the actual leakage rate of the air preheater can be calculated.

[0086] As one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, based on the difference comparison results, the air preheater leakage monitoring results include:

[0087] Step S41: If the difference comparison result is that the difference in air leakage rate is not less than the preset threshold, then the stable output condition is determined to be an abnormal condition.

[0088] Step S42: Perform data statistics on abnormal operating conditions according to the preset abnormal operating condition judgment rules, and determine the air preheater leakage monitoring results.

[0089] The difference comparison result is compared with the preset threshold. If the difference in leakage rate is not less than the preset threshold, the stable output condition is determined to be an abnormal condition.

[0090] At this point, relevant data under the abnormal operating condition are collected or calculated, including the number of abnormal operating conditions, the boiler output range covered by the abnormal operating conditions, the time interval of the abnormal operating conditions, the dispersion of the difference comparison results, etc. After statistical analysis of these relevant data, the air preheater leakage monitoring results can be determined.

[0091] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the air preheater leakage monitoring process mainly includes: 1) determining the baseline operating conditions; 2) testing and calibrating the leakage rate; 3) establishing a baseline database; 4) recording abnormal operating conditions; and 5) judging and outputting the evolution results.

[0092] 1) Determine the baseline operating condition

[0093] The typical stable operating output of the boiler should be used as the benchmark operating condition. The benchmark operating condition should cover the common operating output range of the boiler. There should be no fewer than three benchmark operating conditions.

[0094] 2) Test and calibrate the air leakage rate

[0095] When the boiler is running stably at the reference operating point, a leakage rate test is carried out in accordance with standard procedures to obtain the reference value of the leakage rate and other characteristic parameter values ​​corresponding to this operating condition.

[0096] 3) Establish a benchmark database

[0097] The leakage rate and characteristic parameters of the benchmark operating points are integrated into a benchmark database for daily calculations. That is, a leakage relationship fitting model is pre-established to facilitate use in practical applications.

[0098] 4) Record abnormal operating conditions

[0099] A leakage relationship fitting model was used to identify and process real-time operating data from the boiler and air preheater. The processed results were compared with baseline data to obtain their quantitative differences. Data with differences exceeding the allowable error range were recorded as abnormal operating conditions.

[0100] 5) Determine and output the evolution results.

[0101] The system records abnormal operating conditions according to the set rules and outputs the results in a user-friendly manner.

[0102] In this embodiment, the air preheater leakage monitoring process is described in detail below.

[0103] (1) Taking a boiler with a stable operating output range of 30%-100% of the rated output as an example, five benchmark operating conditions can be selected: 30%, 40%, 55%, 75%, and 100%.

[0104] (2) The test method for the air preheater leakage rate under the reference operating conditions is as follows:

[0105] The average oxygen content (O2) at the inlet and outlet flue gas cross sections of the air preheater was measured using the grid method. en O lv The air preheater leakage rate, i.e., the theoretical leakage rate, is calculated according to the following formula:

[0106]

[0107] (3) The selection of feature parameters can include, but is not limited to, the following methods:

[0108] Based on the current E of the primary air fan, forced draft fan, and induced draft fan pa E sa and E id That is, the fan current, to calculate the characteristic parameters corresponding to the baseline operating condition. and That is, the current characteristic parameters.

[0109]

[0110] Where n is the power exponent, and 1 <n≤3;t pa t sa and t id These are the primary air, supply air, and flue gas temperatures under baseline operating conditions, obtained through online flue gas and air temperature measurement points; t pa t sa and t id These represent the primary air, supply air, and flue gas static pressure under baseline operating conditions, obtained through online flue gas pressure measurement points. 100 is expressed as a percentage, and is related to the efficiency η1. * Units are consistent; 273 represents a temperature of 273 K; 101325 represents an atmospheric pressure of 101325 Pa.

[0111] Furthermore, The relationship between (denoted as y) and boiler output (denoted as x) is fitted to polynomial functions, i.e., the air leakage relationship fitting model:

[0112]

[0113] Where n is the order of the polynomial function, n≥2. i These are the polynomial coefficients. When the boiler is operating under any steady-state condition, the boiler output x can be calculated from this fitting function.

[0114] (4) When the boiler is in a stable output condition, first calculate the boiler output x corresponding to that condition. (Theoretical air leakage rate) Further calculation of the actual air leakage rate η of the air preheater. l .

[0115]

[0116]

[0117]

[0118]

[0119]

[0120] Where, η id γ1 represents the flue gas leakage rate; γ2 and γ1 represent the primary air and supply air flow rates, respectively; E pa E sa and E id These represent the currents of the primary air fan, forced draft fan, and induced draft fan under this operating condition; η a The leakage rate of primary air and supply air; t pa tsa and t id These are the primary air, supply air, and flue gas temperatures under this operating condition, i.e., the boiler gas temperature, obtained through online flue gas temperature measurement points; t pa t sa and t id These represent the static pressure of the primary air, supply air, and flue gas under this operating condition, i.e., the boiler gas static pressure, obtained through online air and flue gas pressure measuring points. m1 and m2 represent the primary air and supply air flow rates, i.e., the boiler gas flow rates, obtained through online air volume measuring points.

[0121] Furthermore, calculate the air leakage rate η. l and Differences:

[0122]

[0123] If |Δη|≥10% (10% is a set value, i.e., a preset threshold, or other constants or functions ≥5%), then the working condition is determined to be an abnormal working condition, and the difference between the boiler output x and the air leakage rate Δη under the abnormal working condition is recorded.

[0124] (5) When the abnormal operating condition record meets one or more of the following conditions, the relevant data under the abnormal operating condition shall be collected to determine the change in the air preheater leakage rate, i.e., the air preheater leakage monitoring result:

[0125] ① The number of abnormal operating conditions is ≥ k (k≥3)

[0126] ② The boiler output range covered by abnormal operating conditions is ≥ω (ω≥30% of rated load).

[0127] ③ The time interval of abnormal operating conditions is ≤ T (T≤ 168 hours)

[0128] ④ The dispersion of the air leakage rate difference Δη under abnormal operating conditions is ≤Ф (Ф≤20%).

[0129] (6) Output the air preheater leakage monitoring results in a user-friendly manner, including but not limited to the following methods:

[0130] Adopting such Figure 6 The image shows a visual representation of the air preheater. White arrows indicate flue gas flow direction, and arrow width indicates flue gas volume; black arrows indicate air flow direction, and arrow width indicates air volume; white arrows with dotted lines indicate air leakage direction, arrow width indicates air leakage rate, and the edge of the dotted line indicates the design upper limit of air leakage rate.

[0131] This invention solves the problems of monitoring air leakage performance of air preheaters using online measuring points, including the low reliability of flue gas composition measuring points; large deviation in calculating the air leakage rate based on the oxygen content in the flue gas; and the long time consumption of analyzing the elemental composition of the fuel entering the furnace.

[0132] This invention utilizes highly reliable online measuring points to obtain boiler-related data under complex equipment and system operating conditions, accurately determining the theoretical and actual air leakage rates of the air preheater. This yields the difference in the air preheater's air leakage rate, enabling accurate monitoring of the air preheater's leakage status through changes in the leakage rate, thus facilitating quantitative analysis of the evolution of the air preheater's air leakage rate.

[0133] like Figure 7 The figure shows a schematic diagram of an air preheater leakage monitoring device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The device shown in the figure includes:

[0134] The data acquisition module 10 is used to acquire the boiler fan parameters, fan current and boiler output corresponding to the stable output condition when the boiler is operating under stable output conditions.

[0135] The air leakage rate module 20 is used to obtain the theoretical air leakage rate and the actual air leakage rate of the air preheater by using a preset air leakage relationship fitting model based on the boiler fan parameters, fan current and boiler output corresponding to the stable output conditions.

[0136] The difference comparison module 30 is used to compare the actual air leakage rate of the air preheater with the theoretical air leakage rate to obtain the air leakage rate difference value, and compare the air leakage rate difference value with a preset threshold to obtain the difference comparison result.

[0137] The monitoring results module 40 is used to determine the air preheater leakage monitoring results based on the difference comparison results.

[0138] As one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the device also includes:

[0139] The oxygen content module 50 is used to obtain the average oxygen content of the inlet flue gas section and the average oxygen content of the outlet flue gas section of the air preheater under multiple preset boiler reference operating conditions.
