Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of boiler cyclone separators, and in particular to a material level measuring device and a measuring method for a boiler cyclone separator. Background Art
[0002] A circulating fluidized bed boiler is a boiler that uses the cleanest coal combustion technology with the highest degree of industrialization. It uses fluidized combustion and its main structure includes two parts: a combustion chamber and a circulating furnace. During the operation of a circulating fluidized bed boiler, solid particles (such as fuel particles, desulfurizer particles, etc.) are fluidized and burned in the bed. The cyclone separator can effectively separate the solid particles entrained in the high-temperature flue gas leaving the furnace, ensuring that the unburned fuel particles in the solid particles can return to the furnace for full combustion. It also ensures the reasonable circulation of solid materials in the boiler, and maintains the stability of the bed material inventory by returning the separated particles to the bottom of the furnace.
[0003] However, if the ash powder cannot return to the furnace in time during the circulation process, it will accumulate in the cyclone separator. When the ash powder level in the cyclone separator is too high, the cyclone separator may tilt or even collapse. The cyclone separator cylinder is composed of boiler pipes, and high-temperature steam flows in the pipes. At the same time, its internal chamber is also filled with high-temperature flue gas. It is impossible to use a more direct method to measure the particle material level in the cyclone separator chamber. Therefore, installation under high temperature will affect the performance of the measuring equipment and reduce the service life of the measuring equipment.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the problem that it is difficult to accurately monitor the volume of fuel in the cylinder during the operation of the above-mentioned existing cyclone separator, and the high temperature environment affects the use of the measuring equipment, a boiler cyclone separator level measuring device and a measuring method thereof can be designed.
