Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of thermal power generation, in particular to a thermal power plant air preheater cleaning device and a use method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Air preheater, also referred to as air preheater, is mainly used in boilers of thermal power plants. It is a preheating device that improves the heat exchange performance of boilers and reduces heat loss. It can transfer the heat carried in the flue gas discharged from the tail flue of the boiler to the air before entering the boiler through the heat sink, and preheat the air to a certain temperature.
[0003] However, air preheaters often encounter blockage during use, mainly due to the adhesion of NH4HSO4 formed by ammonia escape during the denitrification process to the cold end wall. Blockage factors include inaccurate flue gas volume measurement, decreased catalyst activity, and uneven flue gas flow distribution. In addition, low-temperature corrosion and ash accumulation promote each other, forming a vicious cycle and aggravating blockage.
[0004] Currently, low-pressure soot blowing guns are mostly used to clean the flue gas side of the air preheater, but this method is less effective and cannot effectively clean the hardened ash in the gap between the corrugated plates, and the cleaning efficiency is low; in addition, after the boiler is shut down and the air preheater temperature is lowered, the air preheater flue gas side differential pressure can be reduced by external high-pressure water flushing, which is the most direct and fastest way to deal with air preheater ash blockage. However, it is necessary to shut down the machine for flushing, otherwise the air preheater will be scrapped.
[0005] Based on the above problems, we proposed a cleaning device and a method for using an air preheater in a thermal power plant. Summary of the invention

[0031] Among them, the air preheater 11 is a three-compartment air preheater, and two cleaning components are arranged on both sides of the cold end flue 113 on the flue gas side 111. When arranged, the gap part of the gun head on one side, that is, the area not covered by the gun head on this side, is just located within the coverage range of the gun head on the other side, ensuring that the gun head can cover the entire heating surface when the air preheater rotates, and the gun heads on both sides are radially distributed to cover the entire heating surface of the air preheater.
[0032] Specifically, a first fixing bracket 114 is provided on the outer wall of the flue 113 , and a second fixing bracket 115 is provided on the inner wall of the flue 113 .
[0033] Among them, the first fixed bracket 114 is fixed to the outer wall of the flue 113, and plays the role of connecting the external steam supply pipe 213 and the internal steam supply pipe 212; the second fixed bracket 115 is connected to the inner wall of the flue 113 by welding, and plays the role of supporting the cleaning component 2.
[0034] Preferably, the driving member 21 comprises a motor 211 , and an output end of the motor 211 is drivingly connected to an internal steam supply pipe 212 .
[0035] Among them, the motor 211 is transmission connected with the internal steam supply pipe 212, and the internal steam supply pipe 212 penetrates the outer wall of one side of the flue 113 and extends into the interior of the flue 113; when the motor 211 is started, the internal steam supply pipe 212 can make translational motion inside the flue 113; the motor 211, the high-pressure steam control valve 2121 and the high-pressure steam reducing valve 2131 are all connected to switches through wires, and the switch is connected to a PLC controller through wires, and the PLC controller is connected to a power supply through wires and connected to a DCS control system, which is convenient for the operator to operate and control.
[0036] Preferably, an external steam supply pipe 213 is sleeved inside the internal steam supply pipe 212 , a high-pressure steam control valve 2121 is provided on the outer wall of the internal steam supply pipe 212 , and a high-pressure steam reducing valve 2131 is provided on the outer wall of the external steam supply pipe 213 .
[0037] Among them, the high-pressure steam control valve 2121 can control the time when steam enters the high-pressure cleaning component 2; the high-pressure steam pressure reducing valve 2131, composed of a manual door, an electric door and an electric lifting valve, controls the high-pressure steam temperature at 200-300°C and the pressure at 3-5MPa by reducing pressure, which meets the requirements for cleaning the air preheater 11; the external steam supply pipe 213 and the internal steam supply pipe 212 are set to deliver water according to the actual situation on site to ensure that the pipeline does not vibrate when put into operation.
[0038] Preferably, the moving member 22 includes a branch pipe 221 arranged on the side wall of the internal steam supply pipe 212 , and a steam supply main pipe 222 is arranged on the outer wall of the branch pipe 221 .
[0039] Among them, one end of the branch pipe 221 is fixedly connected to the internal steam supply pipe 212, and the other end is fixedly connected to the steam supply mother pipe 222; the steam supply mother pipe 222 is placed above the second fixed bracket 115, and the steam supply mother pipe 222 is connected to the internal steam supply pipe 212 through the branch pipe 221.
[0040] Preferably, a water delivery port 223 is provided on the side wall below the steam supply mother pipe 222 , and a water delivery pipe 224 is connected to the outside of the water delivery port 223 .
[0041] The water delivery pipe 224 is welded to the water delivery port 223 to ensure that dirty water in the steam supply mother pipe 222 can be quickly discharged to avoid vibration caused by internal water accumulation.

[0048] Example 3, reference Figure 1 to Figure 4 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention, provides a thermal power plant air preheater cleaning device, including S1: by increasing the cold end temperature of the air preheater, ammonia hydrogen sulfate is gasified to reduce blockage; S2: using the cleaning equipment to perform high-pressure steam flushing on the air preheater.
[0049] Specifically, the gasification temperature of ammonium bisulfate is 150°C to 230°C. After increasing the temperature at the cold end of the air preheater, the ammonium bisulfate changes from solid to liquid or gaseous, and the blockage of the air preheater will be significantly alleviated.
[0050] The heat storage element in the low temperature section of the air preheater is a Corten steel heat storage element, which can withstand high temperatures above 300°C, so it has no effect on the heat storage element of the air preheater;
[0051] After increasing the exhaust gas temperature of the air preheater, the temperature difference between the hot and cold ends of the air preheater becomes smaller. Controlling the temperature rise rate of the exhaust gas temperature of the air preheater will control the deformation of the air preheater mushroom and avoid the jamming of the air preheater due to friction between the moving and static parts of the air preheater.
[0052] Preparation before operation:
[0053] S1: The test oil gun is normal.
[0054] S2: Check that the air preheater, supply fan, exhaust fan and primary fan are operating normally and all parameters are qualified. Check on-site that the equipment is operating normally.
[0055] S3: Stop blowing the furnace chamber and flue soot, adjust the soot blowing pressure of the air preheater to above 2Mpa, and put the soot blower at the cold end of the air preheater into continuous operation.
[0056] S4: The boiler air heater is in normal operation and the air temperature after the heater is not less than 30℃.
[0057] S5: The unit load is maintained above 400MW and the unit operating conditions are stable.
[0058] S6: Inform the desulfurization duty officer to pay attention to the flue gas temperature at the inlet of the desulfurization absorption tower and the flue gas temperature at the outlet of the clean flue gas. When the temperature is high, spray water to reduce the temperature according to the regulations.
[0059] S7: Notify the ash removal attendant to monitor the operation of the electrostatic precipitator.
[0060] Implementation steps:
[0061] S1: All preparatory work before inspection is completed, all personnel are in place and the briefing is completed.
[0062] S2: Exit boiler RB protection and large interlock protection.
[0063] S3: Slowly change the load to above 400MW.
[0064] S4: After the unit load is stable, adjust the fan blades on both sides, close the standby side and open the other side to increase the exhaust temperature of the standby side. Control the exhaust temperature of the air preheater to be treated to rise by about 0.5℃ per minute, and stabilize for 5 minutes for every 10℃ increase in temperature. Pay attention to monitoring the current of the two air preheaters and the combustion of the boilers.
[0065] S5: Raise the exhaust gas temperature at the outlet of the standby air preheater to 170℃, control the exhaust gas temperature of the standby air preheater to rise by about 0.5℃ per minute, and keep it stable for 5 minutes for every 10℃ increase in temperature. Pay attention to monitoring the current of the two air preheaters and the combustion of the boilers, and check on-site that the air preheaters rotate smoothly, without friction or abnormal sound.
[0066] S6: The exhaust gas temperature at the outlet of the standby air preheater is above 170℃. After checking that all systems are operating normally and ensuring that all operating parameters are stable, the air preheater cleaning system at the standby air preheater end is put into operation: the steam supply pressure is controlled by the high-pressure steam pressure reducing valve 09, and at the same time, the water supply pipe 04 along the way and the cleaning equipment water supply pipe 04 are opened to warm up the pipes and flush impurities in the entire system to avoid impurities blocking the gun head. After the whole system is warmed up and the impurities are cleaned, adjust the pressure reducing valve 09, set the cleaning equipment pressure, and control the high-pressure steam control valve 08 through the PLC to achieve high-pressure steam flushing of the air preheater. Run for 3-6 hours. Pay attention to monitoring the current of the two air preheaters and the combustion of the boilers.
[0067] S7: Record the changes in the flue gas side differential pressure at the inlet and outlet of the standby air preheater, and the primary and secondary air differential pressure.
[0068] S8: After 3-6 hours of continuous operation, it slowly returns to normal operating conditions
