Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of boiler equipment, and in particular relates to a device for preventing superheater and reheater from being blocked by oxide scale. Background Art

[0002] As people's demand for electricity and heat increases day by day, the power industry continues to improve the thermal efficiency and power generation of thermal power plants. my country has attached great importance to the development of supercritical units since the 1980s. At present, my country's power generation equipment manufacturers have mastered the design and manufacturing technology of supercritical units. With the substantial increase in the steam temperature and pressure of the unit, the corrosion and oxidation of the metal will inevitably increase. The peeling of oxide scale will not only affect the steam and water quality of the unit, but also the presence of oxide film on the inner wall of the tube will cause local overheating and eventually the explosion of the boiler tube. Therefore, online monitoring of the corrosion and oxidation process of the thermal system has great guiding significance for the safe and stable operation of the unit. The existing means of monitoring the metal corrosion and oxidation technology of super (super) critical units are very limited, and it is impossible to judge the corrosion condition inside the furnace tube. Therefore, high-temperature explosion accidents caused by corrosion scaling and oxide scale frequently occur. Some experiments use laboratory simulation conditions to study the correlation between oxide film and temperature and pressure, and use a variety of instruments to analyze the oxidation kinetics of steel under simulated supercritical conditions. Judging from the current research situation, how to fully reveal the internal mechanism and changing characteristics of its oxidation process and propose prevention and mitigation methods are problems that the industry needs to solve.

[0003] In order to control the water quality of boiler water to meet the national standards, it is necessary to accurately control the impurities in the boiler water and the pH, oxygen content, and hydrogen content of the boiler water to be kept within certain limits, so as to effectively and economically ensure the safe and energy-saving operation of the boiler and thermal system. Controlling the quality of circulating water (boiler water) in the thermal system is the simplest and most direct detection method and control tool to balance the efficiency of boiler use and improve benefits. During the operation of the unit, the metal wall surface is always accompanied by extremely small amounts of corrosion in high-temperature water and steam, and extremely small amounts of dissolved hydrogen are produced. It can be seen that by monitoring the dissolved hydrogen in the system, it is possible to effectively determine whether the oxide film formed on the metal wall surface is complete, and to remind professionals to quickly make a correct assessment of the corrosion of the thermal system and find out the cause of the corrosion. The lower and more stable the dissolved hydrogen content is, the denser the protective film formed on the metal wall surface is.

[0004] To this end, we provide a device for preventing superheater and reheater oxide scale blockage to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device to prevent superheater and reheater oxide scale blockage. Through the cooperation of a steam water sampling mechanism and an early warning system, the problem that oxide scale peeling not only affects the steam and water quality of the unit, but also the presence of an oxide film on the inner wall of the tube will cause local overheating and ultimately cause a boiler tube burst accident is solved.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions.

[0008] Furthermore, the flow meter outlet is provided with two pipelines, one pipeline is connected to the sampling valve, and the other pipeline is connected to the chemical analysis instrument component.

[0009] Furthermore, one side of the single coil cooler is connected to a liquid inlet pipe, and the liquid inlet pipe is connected to a first control valve; one side of the double coil cooler is connected to a liquid discharge pipe, and the liquid discharge pipe is connected to a second control valve; a delivery pipe is connected between the double coil cooler and the single coil cooler.

The chemical analysis instrument component monitors the dissolved hydrogen content at the superheater steam inlet and the superheater steam outlet, and coordinates the changes in superheated steam flow, superheated steam temperature, superheater wall temperature, unit load, feed water pH, feed water dissolved oxygen, and superheated steam dissolved oxygen value to achieve dynamic early warning of oxide scale peeling, and combines laboratory prediction data and existing actual data to calculate the oxide scale growth rate of the superheater pipeline. At the same time, the addition of the early warning system enables the risk of oxide scale blockage to be predicted in advance, providing operators with sufficient time to deal with potential problems, further improving the safety and stability of boiler operation, helping to optimize equipment maintenance plans, and reducing losses caused by sudden blockage accidents. Effectively preventing oxide scale blockage can reduce high-temperature damage to superheaters and reheaters due to poor heat exchange, reduce the risk of pipe bursting, extend the service life of equipment, reduce the frequency of equipment maintenance and replacement, and reduce the operating cost of the enterprise.

[0025] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the superheated steam is cooled by passing through the single coil cooler 1. The single coil cooler 1 is used as the first step cooling device of the superheated steam, and takes away most of the heat of the steam. The desalted water cooling circulation device continuously provides cooling water for the superheated steam. The superheated steam after the first stage of cooling enters the double coil cooler 5 through the double coil of the lower pipe of the single coil cooler 1, and the superheated steam is cooled for the second time and the steam pressure is reduced. The superheated steam after two stages of cooling flows through the pressure reducing valve 6 to reduce the pressure again.

The superheated steam flowing through the pressure reducing valve 6 reaches the safety valve 8, and a temperature controller 17 is installed to monitor the steam temperature, which plays a role in over-temperature and over-pressure protection.

One branch flows through the sampling valve 12 for manual sampling, which is convenient for workers to understand the macroscopic situation of the water sample in real time. The other branch flows through the chemical analysis instrument component 15, which includes a conductivity meter, a pH meter, a dissolved oxygen meter, a dissolved hydrogen detection device, etc., and transmits the signal to the DCS management system, which is convenient for monitoring online data on the software. The data collected by the chemical analysis instrument component 15 is integrated and comprehensively analyzed through the early warning system. When the prediction result shows that the risk of oxide scale blockage reaches a certain level, the early warning signal sending module sends early warning information to the boiler operator, which improves the intelligent use effect of the device.
