Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of high-voltage heaters, in particular to a high-voltage heater rapid leak detection device and a detection method. Background Art

[0002] The high-pressure heater is a part of the unit's heat recovery system. It utilizes the extraction steam from the unit's high and medium pressure cylinders to achieve heat exchange between steam and feed water through the heat transfer tube bundle of the high-pressure heater to heat the feed water. The heat recovery system is an important means for the unit to improve thermal economy. At present, high-pressure heating devices have become indispensable equipment for conventional large-scale thermal power units in China. In recent years, in order to meet the requirements of AGC instructions and cooperate with the peak-shaving needs of new energy such as wind and solar power during the actual operation of the unit, deep peak-shaving of the unit has become normalized.

[0003] Due to the frequent changes in the unit's thermal load and the sharp changes in thermal stress, leakage of the high-pressure heater often occurs. Leakage of the high-pressure heater poses a great threat to the safety of the unit and has a huge impact. After the high-pressure heater leaks, since the water side pressure is much greater than the steam side pressure, a large amount of water will leak to the steam side, causing the water level of the high-pressure heater to rise sharply. If the high-pressure heater water level protection does not work, the steam extraction valve is not closed, is not closed in time or is not closed tightly, water will pour into the cylinder and cause a water hammer accident in the turbine. In addition, after the high-pressure heater leaks, the tube bundle around the leaking part will be severely washed by the high-pressure water flow, causing more heat transfer tubes to leak, and it must be de-listed as soon as possible.

[0004] Due to the de-energization of the high-pressure heater, the feed water temperature dropped from 226°C to 150°C. In order to meet the load requirements of the unit, the coal feed must be increased, the output of each fan increased accordingly, the furnace temperature rose, the standard coal consumption increased, and the plant power consumption rate increased, affecting the economy of the unit. Therefore, in addition to operating according to regulations and controlling operating parameters during operation, it is also crucial to detect leakage of the high-pressure heater as early as possible.
