Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hybrid heaters, in particular to a hybrid heater flushing system and method. Background Art
[0002] The SQS-185 Hybrid Heater is a highly efficient device used to heat cold water to the required temperature. The core technology of this heater lies in its unique Rafael nozzle design, which ensures the effective mixing of water flow and steam, thus achieving a fast and uniform heating process. Specifically, water flows in through the throat of the nozzle, while steam is injected from multiple inclined holes, and the two are fully contacted and mixed during the process, ultimately producing hot water.
[0003] However, a major technical obstacle was encountered in practical application - scaling. Calcium ions in raw water are precipitated during the heating process. Over time, these deposits accumulate inside the inclined holes of the Rafale nozzle, causing the inclined holes to gradually narrow or even become completely blocked. Considering that the standard size of the inclined holes of the Rafale nozzle is about 4 mm, this scaling phenomenon is particularly serious and usually appears after about a month of operation.
[0004] When the inclined hole of the Rafale nozzle is blocked, the mixing process of steam and water flow is disturbed and the expected design effect cannot be achieved. This not only affects the heating efficiency, but also causes uneven distribution of water vapor inside the heater, which in turn causes strong mechanical vibration. Long-term vibration will not only accelerate the aging of the equipment and shorten its service life, but may also cause safety hazards. Summary of the invention

[0032] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0033] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0034] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0035] Example 1
[0036] Reference Figure 1 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, and provides a hybrid heater flushing system, including a liquid inlet assembly 100, including a clean water pipe 101, a steam pipe 102, a dosing pipe 103, and a hybrid heater 104. The clean water pipe 101 is connected to the end of the hybrid heater 104 through a first pipe 301 to provide a water source for the hybrid heater 104;
[0037] At least one flushing component 200 includes a flushing medium 201 and a controllable valve 202 . The flushing medium 201 is connected to the hybrid heater 104 through a second pipe 302 .
[0038] It should be noted that the hybrid heater 104 in this embodiment is a raw water heater - a jet hybrid heater, specifically a SQS-185 hybrid heater. The clean water pipe 101 is used to pass the clean water / raw water required for the operation of the hybrid heater 104; and the steam pipe 102 passes the required steam. The dosing pipe 103 is used to add necessary agents to the system, such as preservatives or anti-scaling agents. The steam from the steam pipe 102 inhaled from the first pipeline 301 of the hybrid heater 104 meets the heated liquid from the clean water pipe 101 in the mixing tube. Due to the large temperature difference between the two, the steam quickly releases heat, causing the liquid temperature to rise. In the mixing tube, the liquid and steam are fully mixed through turbulence to ensure uniform heat transfer and improve heating efficiency. However, since calcium ions are generated after the raw water of the hybrid heater 104 is heated, the inclined tube of the heater's Lafarge nozzle is blocked in a large area, causing the water vapor in the heater to be heated unevenly, resulting in vibration of the hybrid heater. In view of this, a set of airflow compression pipe flushing components 200 are respectively installed at the front and rear of the hybrid heater body. First, a flushing port is installed on the shell of the hybrid heater 104 body; secondly, a second pipeline 302 is connected nearby, and an isolation door is installed in the middle.
[0039] Preferably, the flushing medium 201 in this embodiment is compressed air. The controllable valve 202 is used to control the inlet and outlet of the flushing medium to ensure the smooth progress of the flushing process. The second pipeline 302 connects the flushing medium 201 and the hybrid heater 104, and an isolation door is installed in the middle to close the pipeline when necessary. The second pipeline 302 is a compressed air pipe, which can be connected to the newly added flushing port on the hybrid heater housing.
[0040] Flushing process: When the hybrid heater 104 is blocked in a large area due to calcium ion deposition in the Rafale nozzle oblique tube, the controllable valve 202 in the flushing assembly 200 is opened, and compressed air enters the hybrid heater 104 through the second pipe 302. The high-speed flow of compressed air can effectively flush away the calcium ions and other impurities deposited in the nozzle, and restore the nozzle to be unobstructed. After the flushing is completed, the controllable valve 202 is closed to stop the inflow of compressed air, ensuring that the system resumes normal operation.

[0056] It should be noted that the clean water pipe 101 is connected to the end of the hybrid heater 104 through the first pipe 301 to provide a water source for the hybrid heater. The first pipe 301 is provided with a first pressure gauge 301a and a first thermometer 301b for real-time monitoring of the pressure and temperature in the pipe; the switch 301c is used to control the on and off of the clean water. The first pipe is connected to the hybrid heater 104 through the first branch 401 to ensure uniform distribution of the water flow. The steam pipe 102 is connected to a group of hybrid heaters 104 through the third pipe 303. The third pipe 303 is provided with a first valve 303a and a second valve 303b for controlling the flow of steam; the drain port 303c is provided on one side of the second valve for discharging condensed water. The third pipe 303 is also provided with a second pressure gauge 303d and a second thermometer 303e for monitoring the pressure and temperature in the pipe. The third pipeline 303 is connected to three groups of hybrid heaters 104 through three groups of second branches 402. Each group of second branches 402 is provided with a drain pipe 402a and an electric valve 402b. The electric valve is used to control the flow of steam entering the hybrid heater.
[0057] Preferably, the flushing medium 201 uses high-pressure water or compressed air as the flushing medium, which can effectively remove dirt and sediment inside the heater. The controllable valve 202 is connected to the front and rear ends of the hybrid heater 104 through the second pipe 302 to flush the front and rear ends of the hybrid heater 104. A sensor 302a is provided on the second pipe 302, and the sensor 302a is used to detect whether the hybrid heater is blocked and control the switch of the controllable valve. The dosing pipe 103 is connected to the hybrid heater 104 through the fourth pipe 304. A regulating valve 304a is provided on the fourth pipe 304 to control the flow rate of the agent; the fourth pipe 304 is also connected to the third tributary 403 to ensure that the agent is evenly distributed from the tail of the hybrid heater 104 to the mixing chamber in the hybrid heater 104.
[0058] Normal operation mode; the clean water pipe 101 provides water to the hybrid heater 104 through the first pipe 301. The first pressure gauge 301a and the first thermometer 301b on the first pipe monitor the pressure and temperature in the pipe to ensure that the water supply conditions meet the requirements.

[0059] Flushing mode: The sensor 302a on the second pipe 302 detects the pressure difference of the hybrid heater 104. When the pressure difference exceeds the preset threshold, the sensor 302a sends a signal to the control system. After receiving the signal, the control system opens the controllable valve 202, and high-pressure water enters the front and rear ends of the hybrid heater 104 through the second pipe 302 to flush the inside of the heater. High-pressure water can effectively remove internal dirt and sediment. The sewage after flushing is discharged through the sewage pipe 402a to ensure that the inside of the heater is clean. After flushing, the controllable valve 202 is closed and the system returns to normal operation mode.
[0060] Table 1 shows the test results of the pressure difference inside the nozzle before and after the hybrid heater 104 is connected to the flushing assembly 200
[0061]
[0062] It can be seen from the above experimental data that the flushing assembly can significantly reduce the pressure difference inside the Rafale nozzle, and the pressure difference after each flushing is significantly lower than the pressure difference before flushing. Although the pressure difference will rise after each flushing, it is still maintained at a low level overall, and the effect of each flushing is very significant, with an average cleaning effect of 73.47%. The flushing assembly 200 has a continuous and stable improvement effect in preventing and solving the clogging problem of the hybrid heater 104, improving the overall performance and reliability of the system.
[0063] Table 2 shows the test results of the mechanical vibration amplitude and frequency generated by the device after the hybrid heater 104 is connected to the flushing component 200.
[0064]
[0065] It can be seen from the data in Table 2 that after the flushing component is connected, the mechanical vibration frequency of the hybrid heater 104 decreases slightly, but the change is small. Specifically, the average vibration frequency decreases from 25.01 Hz to 24.77 Hz. On the other hand, the mechanical amplitude of the hybrid heater 104 is significantly reduced. Specifically, the average amplitude decreases from 50.35 μm to 45.00 μm. The flushing component 200 can effectively reduce the dirt and sediment inside the hybrid heater, thereby reducing mechanical vibration and improving the stability and reliability of the system.
[0066] In summary, the present invention provides an efficient hybrid heater flushing system, which can effectively remove dirt and sediment inside the heater through automatic detection and flushing functions, prevent pipe blockage, and significantly improve the operating efficiency and stability of the system. The sensor monitors the pressure difference in real time and automatically triggers the flushing mode, reducing manual intervention and extending the life of the equipment. The system is easy to operate and maintain, and multiple monitoring devices ensure the safety and reliability of operation, which significantly improves the operating efficiency and safety of thermal power plant equipment.

[0070] Further, the flushing medium 201 in the flushing assembly 200 is high-pressure water or compressed air, which can effectively remove dirt and sediment inside the heater;
[0071] When the sensor 302a detects that the pressure difference exceeds a preset threshold, the flushing mode is automatically triggered;
[0072] The sewage pipe 402a can discharge the flushed sewage in time.
[0073] It should be noted that the sensor 302a detects the pressure difference of the hybrid heater 104. When the pressure difference exceeds a preset threshold, the sensor sends a signal to the control system. After receiving the signal, the control system opens the controllable valve 202, and high-pressure water or compressed air enters the front and rear ends of the hybrid heater 104 through the second pipe 302 to flush the inside of the heater. The sewage after flushing is discharged through the drain pipe 402a to ensure the cleanliness of the inside of the heater. After flushing, the controllable valve 202 is closed and the system returns to normal operating mode.
