Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of vacuum radiation water vapor phase drying, and in particular relates to a vacuum radiation water vapor phase drying method. Background Art

[0002] Large electrical equipment, such as transformers, often requires insulation treatment during operation and maintenance. Drying is a critical step in ensuring the insulation performance of these equipment. Traditional drying methods primarily include hot air drying, vacuum drying, and a combination of the two. Hot air drying heats the air and utilizes the temperature difference between the hot air and the surface of the equipment to transfer heat, evaporating moisture and achieving drying. Vacuum drying involves applying a vacuum within a sealed container to lower the boiling point of the water and promote evaporation. These traditional processes are widely used in industry, playing a particularly important role in the maintenance and production of large transformers.

[0003] However, these traditional drying technologies have many limitations. During the hot air drying process, the heat transfer efficiency is low and the heat distribution is uneven, which can easily cause local overheating or underheating. Although vacuum drying can reduce the evaporation temperature of water, it is difficult to provide sufficient heat by relying solely on a vacuum environment, resulting in a long drying cycle. Although the combined process has improved the above problems to a certain extent, it still faces technical difficulties such as uneven temperature field distribution, low energy utilization efficiency, and poor process control accuracy. Especially when dealing with electrical equipment with complex structures, the temperature difference effect between components of different materials will lead to significant differences in the drying effect, and may even cause material damage or rust.

[0004] At present, the industry has tried to solve the above problems by improving the heating method, optimizing the vacuum system, increasing the temperature monitoring points, etc. However, these improvement measures can often only locally optimize a certain link and cannot fundamentally solve the problem of uneven temperature field distribution. Especially when dealing with large and complex equipment, traditional technology has difficulty in achieving precise control of the temperature difference between components of different materials, resulting in a large deviation in the temperature field distribution during the drying process, affecting the uniformity and stability of the drying effect. In other words, there is a technical problem in the prior art that the temperature field distribution cannot be accurately controlled during the vacuum radiation drying process, resulting in uneven drying effect. For example, a long drying time is required to complete the thorough drying of all positions. If the time is shortened, rust may occur. This technical problem has become a key bottleneck restricting the further development of the drying process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a vacuum radiation water vapor drying method, which can solve the technical problem in the existing vacuum radiation drying technology that a long drying time is required to achieve thorough drying.

[0006] The present invention is implemented as follows: The present invention provides a vacuum radiation water vapor phase drying method comprising the following steps: before starting drying with water vapor, preheating a tank body by radiation to reduce the temperature difference between the tank body and the component to be tested; collecting a vacuum value and an initial temperature value inside the tank body; calculating an initial power gain value of a radiation plate based on the initial temperature value; monitoring a temperature value of the component to be tested inside the tank body; collecting a core temperature value and a winding temperature value inside the tank body and calculating a temperature difference; establishing an intake valve opening adjustment function based on the temperature difference; controlling the intake valve opening and adjusting the output power of the radiation plate based on the intake valve opening adjustment value; According to the conversion parameters between the water vapor, pressure, temperature and radiation power in the tank body during the water vapor drying process, the corresponding radiation power and air intake are adjusted: the pressure value in the tank body is collected and the pressure change rate is calculated; a water vapor concentration calculation model is established and the water vapor concentration value is calculated; the ambient temperature value in the tank body is collected; a positive active adjustment value is calculated based on the ambient temperature value and the water vapor concentration value; the output power of the radiation plate is adjusted based on the positive active adjustment value; the surface temperature value and humidity value of the component to be tested are collected; a negative passive adjustment value is calculated; it is determined whether the negative passive adjustment value reaches the preset drying threshold value. When the negative passive adjustment value does not reach the preset drying threshold value, the steps of calculating the temperature difference to determining the negative passive adjustment value are repeated. When the negative passive adjustment value reaches the preset drying threshold value, the output power of the radiation plate is reduced and the air intake valve is closed.

[0007] Among them, the calculation step of the initial power gain value adopts a nonlinear mapping algorithm, which is specifically implemented through a three-layer BP neural network structure. The input layer of the three-layer BP neural network structure is the initial temperature value inside the tank body, the output layer is the output power of the radiation panel, the number of hidden layer nodes is 7, an S-type transfer function is used between the input layer and the hidden layer, and a linear transfer function is used between the hidden layer and the output layer. The training sample is 500 sets of historical operation data.

[0008] Among them, the step of establishing the intake valve opening adjustment function adopts a fuzzy adaptive control algorithm, takes the temperature difference as the input variable, and the intake valve opening adjustment value as the output variable. The domain of the input variable is 0°C to 100°C and is divided into 5 fuzzy subsets. The membership function adopts a combination of trapezoidal and triangular shapes. The domain of the output variable is 0 to 1, and the Mamdani reasoning method is adopted.

[0009] The water vapor concentration calculation model is established using the Kalman filter algorithm, with water vapor concentration as the state variable and pressure change rate as the observation variable. Both the system noise and the observation noise are assumed to be Gaussian white noise. The sampling period of the state estimation is 1 second, the system noise variance is 0.01, and the observation noise variance is 0.1.

[0010] Among them, the calculation step of the positive active adjustment value adopts a fuzzy neural network algorithm. The fuzzy neural network adopts a four-layer network structure, including an input layer, a fuzzy layer, a hidden layer and an output layer. The input layer contains two neurons: the ambient temperature value and the water vapor concentration value. The fuzzy layer fuzzifies the input variables and adopts a Gaussian function as the membership function.

[0011] Among them, the calculation step of the negative passive adjustment value adopts the support vector regression algorithm, normalizes the temperature value and the humidity value, selects the radial basis kernel function as the kernel function, sets the penalty factor to 100, sets the kernel function parameter to 0.1, and selects the optimal parameter through the cross-validation method.

[0012] Among them, the preset drying threshold is determined by the fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm, and cluster analysis is performed on the historical operation data. The number of clusters is set to 3, the Euclidean distance is used as the distance metric, the membership function adopts an exponential function, the number of iterations is 100, and the termination threshold is 0.001.

[0013] The step of collecting the temperature values ​​of the core and the winding inside the tank is achieved by temperature sensors installed on the surface of the core and the winding, and the temperature sensors are all PT100 platinum thermal resistors.

[0014] The preheating temperature inflection point value is set to 122° C. based on the experience of historical drying operation records, the positive active adjustment value ranges from 0.6 to 1.4, and the negative passive adjustment value ranges from 0.4 to 1.2.

[0015] Among them, when the negative passive adjustment value reaches the preset dryness threshold, the gradient descent method is used to reduce the output power of the radiation panel, and the power reduction rate is 2% per second. At the same time, the proportional integral control algorithm is used to control the closing speed of the intake valve, with a proportional coefficient of 0.6 and an integration time of 30 seconds.

[0016] Compared to existing technologies, the present invention provides a vacuum radiation water vapor drying method. By establishing a multi-parameter coordinated control system for radiation panel power, intake valve opening, and water vapor concentration, this method achieves precise regulation of the temperature field distribution during the drying process. This method innovatively incorporates the material's temperature differential characteristics into the control strategy. By real-time monitoring of the temperature difference between the core and winding, it establishes an adaptive intake valve opening adjustment mechanism based on the temperature difference, achieving a uniform temperature field distribution.

[0017] The present invention adopts a bidirectional control strategy that combines positive active adjustment with negative passive adjustment. The positive active adjustment value is calculated through the coupling function of ambient temperature and water vapor concentration, and the negative passive adjustment value is constructed based on the surface temperature and moisture content, forming a complete closed-loop control system. This innovative control method can not only accurately adjust the temperature distribution of each part, but also dynamically optimize the control parameters according to the actual drying effect, significantly improving the uniformity and stability of the drying process. In addition, the water vapor concentration calculation model introduced in the present invention realizes real-time monitoring of the drying environment through the pressure change rate, providing reliable data support for temperature field regulation.

[0018] The present invention successfully solves the technical problem of the existing vacuum radiation drying technology that a long drying time is required to achieve thorough drying. It also correspondingly avoids the problem of easy rusting in the existing technology if the drying time is shortened. The fundamental reason is that a complete set of multi-parameter collaborative control systems has been established. By incorporating key parameters such as temperature difference characteristics, water vapor concentration, and ambient temperature into the control system, all-round regulation of the drying process is achieved. Especially when dealing with large and complex equipment, this method can accurately identify and adjust the temperature difference between components of different materials to ensure the uniformity of the drying effect. At the same time, the application of the two-way control strategy enables the system to have adaptive adjustment capabilities, and can dynamically optimize the control parameters according to actual conditions, further improving the drying effect.

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, 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.

[0025] like Figure 1FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a vacuum radiation water vapor drying method provided by the present invention, and the method comprises the following steps: Before starting the drying process with water vapor, the tank is preheated by radiation to reduce the temperature difference between the tank and the part to be tested; including: S01, collecting the vacuum value and the initial temperature value inside the tank; S02. Calculating an initial power gain value of the radiation plate according to an initial temperature value inside the tank, and adjusting the output power of the radiation plate according to the initial power gain value; S03, monitoring the temperature value of the component to be tested in the tank until the temperature value of the component to be tested reaches the preheating temperature inflection point value; S04, collecting the temperature of the iron core in the tank body and the temperature of the winding in the tank body, and calculating the temperature difference between the temperature of the iron core in the tank body and the temperature of the winding in the tank body; S05.

When the negative passive adjustment value does not reach the preset dryness threshold, repeat steps S04 to S14. When the negative passive adjustment value reaches the preset dryness threshold, reduce the output power of the radiation panel and close the air intake valve.

[0026] The initial power gain value is determined by a nonlinear mapping relationship between the initial temperature value in the tank and the output power of the radiation panel; The intake valve opening adjustment function is determined by an adaptive control relationship between the temperature difference and the intake valve opening adjustment value; The positive active adjustment value is determined by the coupling relationship between the ambient temperature value in the tank and the water vapor concentration value; The negative passive adjustment value is determined by a composite relationship between the surface temperature value of the component to be measured and the surface humidity value of the component to be measured; The water vapor concentration calculation model establishes a dynamic calculation relationship through the pressure change rate.

[0027] The specific implementation of the above steps is described in detail below. The specific implementation of step S01 is to collect the vacuum value and the initial temperature value of the tank body by using a vacuum sensor and a temperature sensor installed in the tank body. The vacuum sensor adopts a capacitive vacuum gauge with a measurement range of 0.1Pa to 100kPa and a measurement accuracy of ±0.5%. The temperature sensor adopts a PT100 platinum resistance thermometer. The collected data is transmitted to the controller through the data acquisition module to complete the real-time data acquisition and storage.

[0028] The specific implementation of step S02 is to calculate the initial power gain value of the radiation plate based on the initial temperature value in the tank body using a nonlinear mapping algorithm. First, a nonlinear mapping relationship between temperature and power is established, and a radial basis function neural network is used for training. The input layer is the initial temperature value in the tank body, and the output layer is the output power of the radiation plate. The hidden layer uses a Gaussian function as the activation function. The training sample uses historical operation data. After the training is completed, a nonlinear mapping model is obtained. The corresponding initial power gain value is calculated according to the current initial temperature value in the tank body, and the calculation result is output to the power controller to control the output power of the radiation plate. The value range of the initial power gain value is 0.8 to 1.2. Among them, the nonlinear mapping algorithm used to calculate the initial power gain value of the radiation panel is based on the BP neural network with a three-layer structure. The input layer is the initial temperature value inside the tank, the output layer is the output power of the radiation panel, and the number of hidden layer nodes is determined to be 7 by an empirical formula. The S-type transfer function is used between the input layer and the hidden layer, and the linear transfer function is used between the hidden layer and the output layer. The number of neurons in the input layer is the same as the dimension of the input variable. The hidden layer uses the Gaussian function as the basis function. The number of hidden layer nodes is determined by the orthogonal least squares method. The output layer is a linear weight combination. The network parameters include the basis function center, expansion constant and network weight. The basis function center is determined by the K-means clustering algorithm, the expansion constant is determined by the P nearest neighbor method, and the network weight is calculated by the least squares method. The training process adopts an adaptive adjustment mechanism to dynamically adjust the learning parameters according to the network output error. The training sample is 500 sets of historical operation data. The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is used for training, the learning rate is adaptively adjusted, and the training target error is 0.0001.

[0029] The specific implementation method of step S03 is to monitor the temperature value of the component to be tested in real time through a temperature sensor installed on the surface of the component to be tested. The temperature sensor adopts a K-type thermocouple with a measurement range of 0°C to 1200°C and a measurement accuracy of ±1°C. The collected temperature value is compared with the preset preheating temperature inflection point value. When the temperature value of the component to be tested reaches the preheating temperature inflection point value, the next operation is triggered, wherein the preheating temperature inflection point value is set to 122°C. When the temperature exceeds this value, the surface of the component to be tested is prone to rust.

[0030] The specific implementation of step S04 is to collect the temperature value of the iron core and the winding inside the tank body respectively through temperature sensors installed on the surface of the iron core and the winding. The temperature sensors all use PT100 platinum thermal resistors. The difference between the two collected temperature values ​​is calculated to obtain the temperature difference. The temperature difference is calculated using a real-time data processing algorithm. The temperature data is smoothed by a sliding window method. The window length is 10 sampling points and the sampling interval is 1 second to reduce the influence of measurement noise.

[0031] The specific implementation method of step S05 is to establish an intake valve opening adjustment function based on the temperature difference using a fuzzy adaptive control algorithm. Specifically, the temperature difference is used as the input variable and the intake valve opening adjustment value is used as the output variable. The domain of the input variable is 0°C to 100°C, which is divided into 5 fuzzy subsets, represented by NB, NS, ZO, PS, and PB respectively. The membership function adopts a combination of trapezoidal and triangular shapes. The domain of the output variable is 0 to 1, which is also divided into 5 fuzzy subsets. The fuzzy rules adopt 25 rules summarized by expert experience, and the Mamdani reasoning method and the center of gravity method are used for defuzzification. At the same time, an adaptive mechanism is introduced to adjust the parameters of the membership function online according to the system response, with an adjustment step size of 0.05 to obtain the intake valve opening adjustment value, wherein the value range of the intake valve opening adjustment value is 0.2 to 0.8.

[0032] The specific implementation method of step S06 is to output the calculated intake valve opening adjustment value to the actuator to control the opening of the intake valve. At the same time, according to the change of the intake valve opening, the proportional integral differential control algorithm is used to adjust the output power of the radiation panel, where the proportional coefficient is 0.8, the integral time is 60 seconds, and the differential time is 10 seconds. The stable operation of the system is achieved through closed-loop control.

[0033] The specific implementation method of step S07 is to collect the pressure value inside the tank in real time through a pressure sensor installed in the tank. The pressure sensor adopts a capacitive pressure transmitter with a measurement range of 0Pa to 100kPa and a measurement accuracy of ±0.1%. According to the collected pressure value, the pressure change rate is calculated by the least squares method. The calculation window length is 60 seconds and the sampling interval is 1 second. The pressure change trend over time is obtained by linear fitting, and the pressure change rate is calculated.

[0034] The specific implementation method of step S08 is to establish a water vapor concentration calculation model based on the pressure change rate using the Kalman filter algorithm. First, the state equation and observation equation are established, the state variable is the water vapor concentration, the observation variable is the pressure change rate, and the system noise and observation noise are both assumed to be Gaussian white noise. The state is estimated by recursion to obtain the water vapor concentration value, where the sampling period of the state estimation is 1 second, the system noise variance is 0.01, the observation noise variance is 0.1, and the initial state estimation error variance is 1.

[0035] The specific implementation method of step S09 is to collect the ambient temperature value inside the tank by means of a temperature and humidity sensor installed in the tank. The temperature and humidity sensor adopts a digital thermometer and hygrometer with a temperature measurement range of 50°C to 150°C and a measurement accuracy of ±0.5°C. The humidity measurement range is 0% to 100% RH and a measurement accuracy of ±2% RH. The sampling period is 1 second, and the collected data is transmitted to the controller through the data acquisition module.

[0036] The specific implementation method of step S10 is based on the ambient temperature value and the water vapor concentration value in the tank body, and the grey correlation analysis method is used to establish the coupling relationship between the two. First, the ambient temperature value and the water vapor concentration value are dimensionlessly processed, and the correlation coefficient is calculated. The correlation threshold is set to 0.85. When the correlation is greater than the threshold, the fuzzy neural network algorithm is used to calculate the positive active adjustment value. The input layer is the ambient temperature value and the water vapor concentration value, the output layer is the positive active adjustment value, the hidden layer uses the hyperbolic tangent function as the activation function, and the training sample uses historical data. The value range of the positive active adjustment value is 0.6 to 1.4.

[0037] Specifically, in the step of calculating the positive active adjustment value using the fuzzy neural network algorithm, a four-layer network structure is adopted: input layer, fuzzy layer, hidden layer and output layer. The input layer contains 2 neurons, corresponding to the ambient temperature value and the water vapor concentration value respectively. The fuzzy layer fuzzifies the input variables and uses the Gaussian function as the membership function. Three membership functions are set for each input variable, representing low, medium and high levels respectively. The hidden layer uses the hyperbolic tangent function as the activation function, the number of neurons is 8, the output layer is the positive active adjustment value, and the BP algorithm is used for network training. The learning rate is set to 0.01, the momentum factor is set to 0.9, and the training is stopped when the training error is less than 0.001. After the training is completed, the calculation model of the positive active adjustment value is obtained.

[0038] The specific implementation method of step S11 is to output the calculated positive active adjustment value to the power controller, and use the adaptive PID control algorithm to adjust the output power of the radiation panel, wherein the proportional coefficient, integral time and differential time are all adjusted online through fuzzy rules, the proportional coefficient has a value range of 0.5 to 1.5, the integral time has a value range of 30 seconds to 90 seconds, and the differential time has a value range of 5 seconds to 15 seconds, thereby improving the control performance of the system through adaptive adjustment.

[0039] The specific implementation method of step S12 is to collect the surface temperature value and surface humidity value of the component to be tested respectively by a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor installed on the surface of the component to be tested. The temperature sensor adopts a K-type thermocouple with a measuring range of 0°C to 1200°C and a measuring accuracy of ±1°C. The humidity sensor adopts a capacitive hygrometer with a measuring range of 0% to 100% RH and a measuring accuracy of ±1% RH. The sampling period is 1 second. Real-time data collection and storage are realized through the data acquisition module.

[0040] The specific implementation method of step S13 is based on the surface temperature value and surface humidity value of the component to be measured, and a support vector regression algorithm is used to establish a composite relationship between the two. First, the temperature value and humidity value are normalized, and the radial basis kernel function is selected as the kernel function. The penalty factor is set to 100, and the kernel function parameter is set to 0.1. The optimal parameters are selected through the cross-validation method, a regression model is established, and the negative passive adjustment value is calculated, where the value range of the negative passive adjustment value is 0.4 to 1.2.

[0041] The specific implementation of step S14 is to compare the calculated negative passive adjustment value with a preset drying threshold. The preset drying threshold is determined using a fuzzy clustering algorithm, specifically based on the fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm. First, historical operating data, including the negative passive adjustment value and the corresponding drying effect evaluation index, is collected. The data is normalized, the number of clusters is set to 3, the cluster centers are randomly initialized, the distances from the sample points to the cluster centers are calculated, and the Euclidean distance is used as the distance metric. The membership matrix is ​​calculated based on the distances, using an exponential membership function. The cluster centers are updated, and the calculation is repeated until the change in the membership matrix is ​​less than 0.001 or the maximum number of iterations, 100, is reached. Finally, the optimal cluster center is selected as the preset drying threshold. The preset drying threshold is set to 0.85.

[0042] The specific implementation of step S15 is that when the negative passive adjustment value does not reach the preset dryness threshold, steps S04 to S14 are repeated, achieving continuous system operation through closed-loop control. When the negative passive adjustment value reaches the preset dryness threshold, the output power of the radiation panel is reduced using a gradient descent method at a power reduction rate of 2% per second until it reaches the minimum power. Simultaneously, a proportional-integral control algorithm is used to control the closing speed of the intake valve, with a proportional coefficient of 0.6 and an integration time of 30 seconds, to achieve a smooth shutdown of the system. The specific implementation of using the proportional-integral control algorithm to control the closing speed of the intake valve is based on an improvement of the traditional PID control algorithm, retaining only the proportional and integral components and removing the differential component to prevent system oscillation. The controller input is the deviation between the valve opening and the target opening, and the output is a control signal for the valve actuator. The proportional coefficient is adjusted using the step response method and is set to 0.6. The integration time is adjusted using the quarter-decay method and is set to 30 seconds. The sampling period is 1 second. The integral limit is ±20% of the output range, and a trapezoidal integration algorithm is used to reduce calculation errors.

[0068] Specifically, the core technical principles of this invention are based on heat transfer, phase change mass transfer, and multi-parameter coordinated control. During the preheating phase, the system achieves uniform heating of the equipment by precisely controlling the power of the radiant panels. Compared to traditional hot air drying, radiant heating offers the advantages of high heat transfer efficiency and uniform temperature distribution. By calculating the initial power gain value, the system can establish an optimal power output curve based on the initial temperature, ensuring a uniform temperature rise across all parts during the preheating process.

[0069] During the drying phase, the present invention innovatively utilizes the material temperature differential effect. Due to differences in thermophysical properties, components made of different materials will experience temperature differences during the heating process. While traditional technologies view this temperature difference as a disadvantage, the present invention transforms it into a control parameter, establishing an intake valve opening adjustment function by real-time monitoring of the temperature difference between the core and windings. This temperature-difference-based control strategy automatically adjusts the intake volume based on material properties, achieving precise control of the local temperature field. Furthermore, a water vapor concentration calculation model established through the pressure change rate provides an additional control dimension for temperature field regulation.

[0070] The bidirectional control strategy employed in this invention is key to achieving precise control. A positive active adjustment value, calculated from a coupled function of ambient temperature and water vapor concentration, is used to actively adjust system parameters. A negative passive adjustment value, based on real-time monitoring of surface temperature and moisture content, reflects the actual drying effect. This bidirectional adjustment mechanism ensures that the control system can simultaneously account for both process parameters and drying effect, forming a complete closed-loop control system. By continuously comparing the negative passive adjustment value with a preset drying threshold, the system achieves automatic control and optimal regulation of the drying process.
