Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of superheaters of coal-fired boilers, and particularly relates to a method and a system for predicting fly ash erosion of superheaters of coal-fired boilers. Background Art

[0002] The furnace tubes of power station boilers are continuously eroded by high-temperature flue gas for a long time. The thinning degree of the furnace tubes has an exponential function relationship with the flue gas ash particle concentration and the flue gas velocity. When the flue gas temperature decreases, the ash particles harden, the flue gas velocity is uneven at the airflow turning points, the arrangement of the tube bundles changes, and non-standard operating conditions such as oxidation slagging of high-volatile pulverized coal will all exacerbate the local erosion of the furnace tubes. The complex and changeable flue gas flow field environment makes it difficult to determine the thinning rate of the furnace tubes due to flue gas erosion. Even when the power station boiler is shut down for maintenance, due to the large number and long length of the tube bundles, it is impossible to conduct a full-coverage and non-blind-spot inspection, and the detection results cannot truly reflect the thinning situation of all furnace tubes.

[0003] Therefore, usually, the fly ash erosion in the boiler tube bundles is studied. However, the above method only focuses on the fly ash erosion in the boiler tube bundles and does not study the three-dimensional erosion of the overall heat exchange tube screens of the boiler, resulting in overly one-sided erosion information of the whole boiler and potential safety hazards.

[0068] The embodiments of the present invention provide a fly ash wear prediction method and system for a superheater of a coal-fired boiler, which are used to solve the technical problem that the existing research only focuses on the fly ash erosion in the boiler tube bundle and does not study the three-dimensional erosion of the overall heat exchange tube screen of the boiler, resulting in too one-sided erosion information of the overall boiler and potential safety hazards.

[0069] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 Flowchart of the steps of a fly ash wear prediction method for a superheater of a coal-fired boiler provided in the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0071] A fly ash wear prediction method provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0072] 101. In response to the received fly ash wear prediction request, obtain the superheater data of the superheater of the coal-fired boiler corresponding to the fly ash wear prediction request.

[0073] It should be noted that the fly ash erosion prediction request refers to a request for predicting the three-dimensional erosion information of the overall heat exchange tube screen of a coal-fired boiler.

[0074] The superheater data refers to the relevant data obtained from the on-site operation data of the boiler and the basic data of the overall boiler, such as the number and size data of the pipes, etc.

[0075] In specific implementation, when receiving the fly ash erosion prediction request, obtain the basic data, on-site operation data of the superheater of the coal-fired boiler for the fly ash erosion prediction request, and the relevant data obtained from the on-site operation data.

[0076] 102. Input the superheater data into a preset physical model to generate a superheater physical model, and input it into a preset DPM model.

[0077] It should be noted that the preferred coal-fired boiler superheater is the SG-1025 / 18.3-M830 type coal-fired subcritical once-through reheat controlled circulation drum boiler manufactured by Shanghai Boiler Works. The last-stage superheater of this boiler consists of 81×4 W-shaped tubes, and the quantity and size both meet the calculation requirements. Therefore, the superheater data is preferably the basic data, on-site operation data of the SG-1025 / 18.3-M830 type coal-fired subcritical once-through reheat controlled circulation drum boiler, and the relevant data obtained from the on-site operation data.

[0078] In specific implementation, input the superheater data into a physical model (i.e., geometric model) to generate a superheater physical model, then perform meshing processing to generate a meshed superheater physical model, and input it into the DPM model.

[0079] Specifically, the DPM (Discrete Phase Model) model adopts the Euler-Lagrange method, that is, the Euler method is used to solve the flow field and the Lagrange method is used to track the particle position.

[0080] 103. Through the DPM model, perform continuous phase flow field simulation and discrete phase simulation on the superheater physical model in sequence, and output the impact velocity of the particles.

[0081] It should be noted that the DPM model performs continuous phase flow field simulation on the gas of the meshed superheater physical model and particle tracking on the particles, so as to obtain the impact velocity of the particles.

[0082] In specific implementation, the gas is regarded as a continuous phase and solved by the Navier-Stokes equation; the particles are regarded as a discrete phase and solved by Newton's second law. In addition, two-way coupling is applied between the continuous phase and the discrete phase.

[0083] 104. Based on the empirical coefficients and impact angle numbers of a preset multiple of erosion models, construct an impact angle function.

[0084] It should be noted that the multiple preset erosion models are the DNV, E / CRC, Neilson and Gilchrist, and Oka erosion models. These four models are used as a reference for improving the elbow wear rate model, and a new wear model based on DNV is proposed. By fitting a large number of numerical simulation results, the empirical coefficients and impact angles are obtained by fitting the parameters of multiple models.

[0085] 105. The wear amount of the heat exchange tube screen of the superheater of a coal-fired boiler is calculated by using the impact velocity of the particles, the impact angle function, the empirical parameters of the steel pipe, and the velocity index.

[0086] It should be noted that by applying the new wear model of DNV and fitting a large number of numerical simulation results, the relationship between the impact function and the wear amount is deduced, so as to obtain the wear amount of the heat exchange tube screen of the superheater of a coal-fired boiler.

[0087] Please refer to Figures 2-7 , Figure 2 which is the step flowchart of a method for predicting fly ash wear of a superheater of a coal-fired boiler provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

[0088] A method for predicting fly ash wear of a superheater of a coal-fired boiler provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0089] 201. In response to the received fly ash wear prediction request, obtain the superheater data of the superheater of the coal-fired boiler corresponding to the fly ash wear prediction request.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present invention, the specific implementation process of step 201 is similar to that of step 101, and will not be elaborated here.

[0091] 202. Input the superheater data into a preset physical model.

[0092] It should be noted that the superheater data is the relevant data obtained through the instruction manual of the superheater of the coal-fired boiler or through the on-site operation data of the boiler. By inputting the superheater data into the physical model, the superheater physical model, that is, the superheater geometric model, can be obtained.

[0093] 203. Construct an initial superheater physical model according to the number of pipes and the pipe size corresponding to the superheater data.

[0094] It should be noted that the superheater of the coal-fired boiler is preferably the SG-1025 / 18.3-M830 type coal-fired subcritical once-through reheat controlled circulation drum boiler manufactured by Shanghai Boiler Works. The last-stage superheater of this boiler consists of 81×4 W-shaped tubes. The number and size of the pipes corresponding to the superheater data are the same as those of the SG-1025 / 18.3-M830 type coal-fired subcritical once-through reheat controlled circulation drum boiler. Specifically, the structure of the superheater is as Figure 3 shown.

[0095] The physical model can construct an initial superheater physical model, that is, a superheater geometric model, through the number and size of the pipes of the superheater.

[0096] 204. Mesh the initial superheater physical model through the physical model to generate a meshed superheater physical model.

[0097] In specific implementation, the present invention only considers the wear of the main part of the superheater tube screen, and does not consider the steam-water drum part and other parts that are not the heat-receiving working surface or not subject to wear; assume that the superheater tube screen is composed of multiple parallel pipes with a certain spacing; when the flue gas coming out of the boiler passes through various heat exchange surfaces and flue ducts and reaches the superheater tube screen, the distribution of the flue gas velocity and particle concentration is uneven. In this simulation, it is assumed that the flue gas velocity and particle concentration are uniform at the inlet boundary, and complex situations such as swirl are not considered, and the velocity direction is perpendicular to the inlet boundary; assume that the flow field velocity and particle movement only change in the direction perpendicular to the superheater tube screen; assume that the particle shape is circular, has the same flow velocity as the main-phase flue gas, is evenly distributed in the main phase, and the physical properties of each particle such as density and hardness are the same, only the size is different.

[0098] Considering the above reasonable simplifications comprehensively, the geometric model is a full-size fine pipe modeling, and the hybrid grid method is used for division as Figure 4 shown. Structured grids are used for the straight pipes and the surrounding flue gas flow field regions, and unstructured encrypted grids are used for the bent pipes and the central regions. After grid independence verification, the number of model grids obtained is 9.999×10 6 .

[0099] Specifically, the structured grid has high division quality and few grid numbers; the unstructured grid has a decreased quality and more grid numbers.

[0100] 205. Input the meshed superheater physical model into the preset DPM model.

[0101] It should be noted that the superheater physical model after structured meshing is input into the preset DPM model.

[0102] 206. Perform continuous phase flow field simulation and discrete phase simulation on the superheater physical model through the DPM model in sequence, and output the impact velocity of the particles.

[0103] Optionally, step 206 includes the following steps S11 - S12:

[0104] S11. Perform a continuous - phase flow - field simulation on the meshed superheater physical model through the DPM model, and output the gas operation data inside the coal - fired boiler superheater; wherein, the calculation equation for the continuous - phase flow - field simulation is:

[0105]

[0106]

[0107] In the formula, ρ refers to the gas density, refers to the instantaneous velocity vector of the gas, P refers to the static pressure, refers to the stress tensor, refers to the body force, refers to the momentum increased due to the discrete phase, and t refers to time;

[0108] S12. Perform a discrete - phase simulation on the particles inside the coal - fired boiler superheater through the DPM model, and output the impact velocity of the particles.

[0109] It should be noted that the fluid phase, as a continuous medium, solves the Navier - Stokes equation, while the particle phase solves by tracking the motion trajectories of a large number of particles, bubbles or droplets. The particle phase can exchange momentum, mass, and energy with the fluid phase. When the volume fraction of the particle phase in the flow - field region is small enough, the interaction between particles can be ignored, and at this time, it becomes quite simple to use the DPM method to track the particle motion trajectories.

[0110] Specifically, the gas is regarded as a continuous phase and solved using the Navier - Stokes equation. The Navier - Stokes equation used for continuous - phase calculation is as follows:

[0111]

[0112]

[0113] In the formula, ρ refers to the gas density, refers to the instantaneous velocity vector of the gas, P refers to the static pressure, refers to the stress tensor, refers to the body force, refers to the momentum increased due to the discrete phase, and t refers to time.

[0114] Among them, the calculation formula for the stress tensor is as follows:

[0115]

[0116] In the formula, refers to the stress tensor, refers to the instantaneous velocity vector of the gas, μ refers to the gas viscosity; I refers to the unit tensor.

[0117] Specifically, the particles are regarded as a discrete phase and solved by Newton's second law. In addition, two-way coupling is applied between the continuous phase and the discrete phase.

[0118] Optionally, step S12 includes the following step S21:

[0119] S21. Perform discrete phase simulation on the particles in the superheater of the coal-fired boiler through the DPM model, and output the impact velocity of the particles; among them, the calculation equation of the impact velocity vector of the particles is:

[0120]

[0121] In the formula, refers to the impact velocity vector of the particles, t refers to time, refers to the drag force, refers to the pressure gradient force, refers to the virtual mass force, refers to the buoyancy force.

[0122] It should be noted that the DPM model performs discrete phase simulation on the particles in the superheater of the coal-fired boiler. The discrete phase model integrates the motion equation of the particles in the Lagrangian coordinate system to obtain the motion trajectory of the particles. According to Newton's second law, the proposed particle motion control equation is as follows:

[0123]

[0124] In the formula, refers to the impact velocity vector of the particles, t refers to time, refers to the drag force, refers to the pressure gradient force, refers to the virtual mass force, refers to the buoyancy force.

[0125] Optionally, this method further includes the following steps S31-S34:

[0126] S31. The drag force is:

[0127]

[0128] In the formula, refers to the drag force, refers to the velocity vector of the particles; d p refers to the particle diameter; ρp refers to the particle density; Re p refers to the particle Reynolds number; C d refers to the drag coefficient, and μ refers to the viscosity;

[0129] S32. The pressure gradient force is:

[0130]

[0131] In the formula, refers to the pressure gradient force, ρ refers to the gas density, ρ p refers to the particle density, and P refers to the static pressure;

[0132] S33. The virtual mass force is:

[0133]

[0134] In the formula, refers to the virtual mass force, ρ refers to the gas density, refers to the instantaneous velocity vector of the gas, refers to the impact velocity vector of the particle, ρ p refers to the particle density;

[0135] S34. The buoyancy force is:

[0136]

[0137] In the formula, refers to the buoyancy force, ρ p refers to the particle density, refers to the body force.

[0138] It should be noted that the drag force is the main force applied to the particle, and the drag force is:

[0139]

[0140] In the formula, refers to the drag force, refers to the velocity vector of the particle; d p refers to the particle diameter; ρ p refers to the particle density; Re p refers to the particle Reynolds number; C d refers to the drag coefficient, and μ refers to the viscosity.

[0141] The pressure gradient force is caused by the pressure change in the fluid, and the pressure gradient force is:

[0142]

[0143] In the formula, refers to the pressure gradient force, ρ refers to the gas density, ρ p refers to the particle density, and P refers to the static pressure.

[0144] The virtual mass force is:

[0145]

[0146] In the formula, refers to the virtual mass force, ρ refers to the gas density, refers to the instantaneous velocity vector of the gas, refers to the impact velocity vector of the particle, ρ p refers to the particle density.

[0147] The buoyancy force is:

[0148]

[0149] In the formula, refers to the buoyancy force, ρ p refers to the particle density, refers to the body force.

[0150] Specifically, since the particles doing work are very small, the pressure change within the range of one particle diameter can be ignored. At the same time, since the density of the fluid is much smaller than the density of the particles, the pressure gradient force can be ignored. Since the virtual mass force is only important when the fluid density is greater than the particle density, the virtual mass force can also be ignored.

[0151] The steady-state DPM model is applicable to the case where particles are injected into a continuous flow field with clear inlet and outlet conditions, and cannot effectively simulate the flow field in which particles are suspended in a continuous medium indefinitely, such as solid particles in a closed system (stirred tank, mixing vessel or fluidized bed). Using a steady-state solution for unsteady flow will lead to deterioration of the calculation results. Therefore, the transient DPM model is used to simulate the fly ash erosion in the superheater area of the present invention.

[0152] 207. Construct an impact angle function based on the empirical coefficients and impact angle numbers of a plurality of preset erosion models.

[0153] Optionally, step 207 includes the following steps S41 - S43:

[0154] S41. Set a plurality of preset erosion models as elbow wear rate models;

[0155] S42. Input the historical operation data of the superheater of the coal-fired boiler into each elbow wear rate model according to a plurality of preset operation scenarios to generate the empirical coefficients of each elbow wear rate model;

[0156] S43. Construct an impact angle function based on the empirical coefficients and impact angle degrees of each elbow wear rate model. The impact angle function is as follows:

[0157] where is the degree of the impact angle, and B i refers to the empirical coefficient obtained from the parameters of the erosion model.

[0158] It should be noted that in the present invention, four erosion models, namely DNV, E / CRC, Neilson and Gilchrist, and Oka, are selected as the improvement references for the elbow wear rate model. A new wear model based on DNV is proposed. The historical operation data of the superheater of the coal-fired boiler are input into each elbow wear rate model according to multiple preset operation scenarios for simulation. Through the fitting of a large number of numerical simulation results, the empirical coefficients obtained by fitting the parameters of multiple models are obtained.

[0159] In specific implementation, construct an impact angle function according to the empirical coefficients and impact angle degrees of each elbow wear rate model. The impact angle function is as follows:

[0160] where is the degree of the impact angle, and B i refers to the empirical coefficient obtained from the parameters of the erosion model.

[0164] 208. Calculate the wear amount of the heat exchange tube screen of the superheater of the coal-fired boiler by using the impact velocity of the particles, the impact angle function, the empirical parameters of the steel pipe, and the velocity index.

[0165] Optionally, step 208 includes the following step S51:

[0166] S51. Calculate the wear amount of the heat exchange tube screen of the superheater of the coal-fired boiler by using the impact velocity of the particles, the impact angle function, the empirical parameters of the preset steel pipe, and the velocity index. The calculation formula for the wear amount of the heat exchange tube screen is as follows:

[0167]

[0168] In the formula, ER refers to the wear amount, f(θ) refers to the impact angle function, the constant 2×10 -9 refers to the empirical parameters of the steel pipe, θ refers to the degree of the impact angle, u p is the impact velocity of the particles, and 2.6 refers to the velocity index of the steel pipe.

[0169] It should be noted that the historical operation data of the superheater of the coal-fired boiler are input into each elbow wear rate model according to multiple preset operation scenarios for simulation. Through the fitting of a large number of numerical simulation results, the relationship between the impact angle function and the wear amount is derived:

[0170]

[0171] In the formula, ER refers to the wear amount, f(θ) refers to the impact angle function, the constant 2×10 -9 refers to the empirical parameter of the steel pipe, θ refers to the degree of the impact angle, u p is the impact velocity of the particles, and 2.6 refers to the velocity exponent of the steel pipe.

[0172] Specifically, based on the above wear model, the present invention constructs a UDF empirical equation by using the DPM_DEFINE_EROSION macro, and compares it with the calculation results of the Oka wear model. The k-epsilon Realizable format is used for the turbulence model to obtain accurate flow and heat transfer characteristics. In order to improve the convergence, the SIMPLE algorithm is used to couple the pressure and velocity. The pressure term adopts the standard discretization format, and the convection term and divergence term adopt the second-order upwind discretization format. The convergence criterion for all calculations is set such that the residual in each control equation is less than 10-6 or the number of iterations reaches 500 times during the steady-state simulation. The number of continuous phase iterations for each iteration coupled with the discrete phase model is set to 10 times. The average diameter of the pulverized coal particles used is 50μm

[30] , the particle movement velocity is 10.4m / s, and a total of 402,800 particles are tracked in this simulation.

[0173] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, the wear distribution of the separating screen pipeline after correcting the elbow wear model by using UDF can be seen more intuitively from this figure. The wear distribution of the straight pipe part is similar to that presented by the Oka model, both being a strip-shaped distribution concentrated on the side of the front screen near the flue gas inlet; the wear distribution of the elbow part still conforms to the point-shaped distribution of the Oka model, but it is more in line with the conclusion in many studies that the wear of the elbow at the same position is more serious than that of the straight pipe. Combining with the improved relational expression (10), it can be analyzed that this model pays more attention to the influence of the impact angle on the wear amount compared with other models. The geometric flow field of this simulation is more inclined to local flue gas erosion, so the impact angle of wear on the elbow part is relatively small, resulting in an unclear calculation result of the elbow part in the conventional wear model. The improved model can make up for the influence brought by the simplification of the calculation model.

[0174] Refer to Figure 6 shown Figure 6The comparison of the growth rate of the maximum wear amount over time is given. The wear amount of the Oka model shows a linear growth, while the wear amount of the udf model is more inclined to exponential growth. This indicates that considering the impact angle function, the wear of the elbow will become more severe over time. On the contrary, the order of magnitude of the maximum wear amount of the Oka model is higher than that of the udf model, but the change amount within the same time interval is very small. It is more difficult to see the wear change law for non-long-term simulations, especially the wear comparison between the straight pipe and the elbow in the short term. In Figure 7 it can be seen that the average wear amount of the straight pipe is larger than that of the elbow. Obviously, the wear gap between the straight pipe and the elbow of the udf model is smaller. Compared with the 6-fold average wear amount gap of the Oka model, the gap of the udf model is only 3 times, which is also in line with the previous analysis and consistent with the prediction that the wear amount of the elbow increases after adopting the udf model.
