Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of steam detection technology, and in particular to a steam quality detector and method. Background Technology

[0002] Steam quality testing includes several aspects, such as: condensing steam, collecting a certain amount of steam and non-condensable gases, measuring them, and obtaining the content of non-condensable gases; mixing steam with cold water and heating it, recording the initial and final temperatures and mass changes, and calculating the saturated steam dryness; and testing the steam superheat, which is the difference between the temperature of the steam after pressure is released and the temperature inside the pipeline.

[0003] Current steam testing methods generally use cold water as a cold source to assist steam condensation. The entire device is complex to assemble and the container is large. If air cooling is used for condensation, the heat dissipation efficiency of air cooling is relatively low compared to cold water. Therefore, the condenser fins need to be designed with a complex structure to obtain a larger heat exchange area. However, if multiple steam samples are tested continuously, the load of air cooling condensation will be greater.

[0004] Therefore, to address the above issues, a method can be designed that utilizes condensate as an additional cold source, combined with air-cooled condensation, to ensure condensation efficiency and reduce the workload of the cooling fan. Summary of the Invention

[0015] A steam quality testing method, using a steam quality testing instrument as described above, includes the following steps:

[0016] S1: During the continuous detection phase of the steam sample, the controller sends signals to solenoid valves No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5, instructing solenoid valve No. 1 to open the liquid inlet pipe, solenoid valve No. 2 to close the channel between the gas cylinder body and the external environment, solenoid valve No. 3 to close the liquid outlet pipe, solenoid valve No. 4 to close the return pipe, and solenoid valve No. 5 to close the backflow pipe. At the same time, the controller also sends signals to the control unit of the cooling fan and the dual differential pressure transmitter, instructing them to start.

[0017] S2: The first group of steam samples flows through the inlet pipe in sequence through the steam pressure sensor to be tested, the throttling device, the steam pressure sensor after expansion, the steam temperature sensor after expansion, the superheating device, and the steam temperature sensor after superheating. The above monitoring components and the steam temperature sensor after superheating obtain the temperature and pressure parameters at each state point, and measure the heating parameters of the superheating device, and send them to the industrial computer for statistical calculation.

[0018] S3: The steam sample after heat treatment flows into the condenser. The fins on the condenser tube and the cooling fan are used to dissipate heat and accelerate the condensation of the steam sample, producing condensate and non-condensable gas. During the start-up of the cooling fan, the power is transmitted to the cleaning component and the vortex component through the transmission component. The cleaning component is controlled to rotate around the condenser to wipe and clean the fins on the condenser tube. The vortex component rotates inside the condenser tube to accelerate the flow of condensate and non-condensable gas.

[0019] S4: Condensate and non-condensable gas flow into the liquid cylinder body and gas cylinder body through the liquid collection pipe. During the process, the condensate temperature sensor detects the temperature values ​​of the condensate and non-condensable gas and sends the data to the industrial computer. The dual differential pressure transmitter measures the pressure difference between the non-condensable gas and condensate through the liquid outlet pipe and the liquid level measuring hose of the liquid cylinder and the liquid level measuring hose of the gas cylinder. The above parameters are sent to the industrial computer for statistical calculation to obtain parameters such as the expansion superheat, dryness, and non-condensable gas content of the steam sample.

[0020] S5: After the test is completed, the controller sends a signal to solenoid valves No. 2 and No. 5. Solenoid valve No. 2 opens the channel between the gas cylinder body and the external environment, and solenoid valve No. 5 opens the backflow pipe. Non-condensable gas flows out to the outside of the detector, and condensate flows into the circulation pipe through the backflow pipe. At this time, the second group of steam samples flows into the condenser pipe synchronously according to the steps of S2-S3. The condensate generated by the first group of steam samples carries away the heat of the second group of steam samples during the flow in the circulation pipe and is discharged through the drain pipe.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0022] 1. The condensate generated during the steam sample testing process is used to assist the cooling fan in condensing multiple sets of steam samples for subsequent continuous testing. In the case of continuous testing of multiple samples, the condensation efficiency can be improved and the workload of the cooling fan can be reduced.

[0023] 2. The power output by the cooling fan, in conjunction with the transmission components, can control the movement of the cleaning components to wipe and clean the fins on the condenser, preventing dust from affecting the efficient heat dissipation of the condenser;

[0024] 3. The cleaning components are driven by the power of the cooling fan, which cleans dust simultaneously during the testing process, achieving cleaning as needed and eliminating the need for cleaning when the testing system is shut down. This method is more energy-efficient than a system with independent cleaning control.

[0025] 4. The brush heads on both the external and internal cleaning modules are movable. When cleaning the condenser fins is not required, the brush heads can be folded up to avoid affecting the airflow inside the condenser.

[0026] 5. The power output by the cooling fan, in conjunction with the transmission components, can control the movement of the eddy current components within the condenser, accelerating the flow of condensate and non-condensable gases, preventing non-condensable gases from accumulating in dead corners of the condenser tubes, and facilitating the efficient discharge of condensate and non-condensable gases into the gas-liquid collection and measurement device.

[0027] 6. The volume of condensate and non-condensable gas is calculated using a dual differential pressure transmitter. The volume is automatically calculated using the NCG measurement results. The structure is compact and the response is fast. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0043] Please see Figures 1-13This invention provides an embodiment of a steam quality detector, comprising a cooling fan 8, a condenser 10, a gas-liquid collection and measuring device 12, a dual differential pressure transmitter 14, and a controller 18 installed in the detector's housing. A liquid inlet pipe 1901 connects the liquid inlet end of the condenser 10 to the input end of the detector; a drain pipe 1902 connects the liquid inlet end of the condenser 10 to the output end of the detector; a collection pipe 2001 connects the liquid outlet end of the condenser 10 to the liquid inlet end of the gas-liquid collection and measuring device 12; and a return pipe 2002 connects the liquid outlet end of the gas-liquid collection and measuring device 12 to the output end of the detector. The cooling fan 8 is used to accelerate the air exchange on the surface of the condenser 10. Gas flow occurs through a dual differential pressure transmitter 14 connected to a gas-liquid collection and measurement device 12. A monitoring component, a superheating device 5, a superheated steam temperature sensor 6, and a first solenoid valve 7 are sequentially installed on the inlet pipe 1901. A condensate temperature sensor 11 is installed on the collection pipe 2001. The steam sample flows sequentially through the monitoring component, superheating device 5, and condenser 10 via the inlet pipe 1901, and then flows into the gas-liquid collection and measurement device 12 via the collection pipe 2001. A second solenoid valve 13 is installed on the gas-liquid collection and measurement device 12. A third solenoid valve 15 is installed on the drain pipe 1902, and a fourth solenoid valve 16 is installed on the return pipe 2002. The third solenoid valve 15 is used to open or close the valve. The drain line 1902 is closed. Solenoid valve 16 (number four) is used to open or close the return line 2002. The condensate in the gas-liquid collection and measurement device 12 flows into the output of the detector through the return line 2002. The steam sample flows in from the input of the detector. Controller 18 opens solenoid valve 7 (number one) and closes solenoid valve 15 (number three). The steam sample flows into the condenser 10 through the inlet line 1901. On the inlet line 1901, the sample passes sequentially through the monitoring component, the superheating device 5, and the superheated steam temperature sensor 6. The monitoring component detects the pressure and temperature of the steam sample before superheating. After superheating to saturated steam, the superheated steam temperature sensor 6 detects the temperature of the saturated steam. When superheated steam flows into condenser 10, controller 18 starts cooling fan 8 to accelerate airflow around condenser 10, assisting superheated steam in condensing in condenser 10. Condensation produces condensate and non-condensable gas. The temperature of condensate and non-condensable gas is detected by condensate temperature sensor 11. Then, condensate and non-condensable gas flow into gas-liquid collection and measurement device 12. The pressure difference between condensate and non-condensable gas is detected by dual differential pressure transmitter 14 and sent to industrial computer to calculate the respective volumes of condensate and non-condensable gas. After the detection is completed, solenoid valve 13 and solenoid valve 16 are opened, and non-condensable gas flows out into the external environment, while condensate flows out through return pipe 2002.

[0044] Please see Figures 1-6In this embodiment, the monitoring components include a vapor pressure sensor 1 to be measured, a throttling device 2, an expanded vapor pressure sensor 3, and an expanded vapor temperature sensor 4, which are sequentially installed on the inlet pipe 1901. The vapor pressure sensor 1 and the expanded vapor pressure sensor 3 are used to detect the pressure values ​​of the vapor samples flowing into and out of the throttling device 2, respectively. The expanded vapor temperature sensor 4 is used to detect the temperature of the vapor sample flowing out of the throttling device 2. The throttling device 2 is used to adjust the flow area of ​​the pipe. The superheating device 5 includes a heater and a temperature control module. The superheating device 5 is used to heat the vapor sample to a preset temperature value (so that the vapor sample reaches a saturated vapor state). The superheated vapor temperature sensor 6 is used to detect the temperature value of the vapor sample flowing out of the superheating device 5. The first solenoid valve 7 is used to open or close the inlet pipe 1901. The condensate temperature sensor 11 is used to detect the temperature value of the vapor sample flowing out of the condenser 10. The gas-liquid collection and measurement device 12 includes a liquid cylinder body 1201 installed in the housing of the detector and a liquid cylinder body installed in the liquid cylinder. The system consists of an air cylinder body 1202, a liquid outlet pipe 1203 connected at one end to a liquid cylinder body 1201, a liquid cylinder level measuring hose 1204 connected at the other end of the liquid outlet pipe 1203, and an air cylinder level measuring hose 1205 connected to the air cylinder body 1202. The liquid inlet of the liquid cylinder body 1201 is connected to the liquid outlet of the condenser 10 via a pipeline. Both the liquid cylinder level measuring hose 1204 and the air cylinder level measuring hose 1205 are connected to a dual differential pressure transmitter 14. A second solenoid valve 13 is installed on the air cylinder body 1202. On 202, the second solenoid valve 13 is used to open or close the channel between the air cylinder body 1202 and the external environment. The dual differential pressure transmitter 14 on the air cylinder body 1202 is used to detect the pressure values ​​of the condensate in the liquid cylinder body 1201 and the non-condensable gas in the air cylinder body 1202. The condenser 10 includes several condenser tubes 1001. One end of the condenser tube 1001 is connected to the superheating device 5 through the liquid inlet pipe 1901, and the other end of the condenser tube 1001 is connected to the gas-liquid collection and measuring device 12 through the liquid collection pipe 2001.A circulation pipe 1002 is installed inside the condenser tube 1001. The liquid outlet of the gas-liquid collection and measuring device 12 is connected to one end of the circulation pipe 1002 via a backflow pipe 2101. A solenoid valve 17 is installed on the backflow pipe 2101. A second row of pipes 2102 is connected between the other end of the circulation pipe 1002 and the output end of the detector. A solenoid valve 17 is installed on the second row of pipes 2102. The solenoid valve 17 is used to open or close the backflow pipe 2101. The condensate can flow into the circulation pipe 1002 through the backflow pipe 2101. The steam sample flows sequentially through the steam pressure sensor 1 to be measured. The system comprises a throttling device 2, an expanded steam pressure sensor 3, an expanded steam temperature sensor 4, a superheating device 5, and a superheated steam temperature sensor 6. These components acquire temperature and pressure parameters at various points in the steam sample's state and measure the heating parameters of the superheating device 5. The data is then sent to an industrial computer for statistical calculation. The superheated steam flows into a condenser 10 for condensation. A condensate temperature sensor 11 detects the temperature values ​​of the condensate and non-condensable gases and sends the data to the industrial computer. The condensate flows into the liquid cylinder body 1201, and the non-condensable gases flow into the gas cylinder body 1202. The system is then connected via a dual differential pressure transmitter 14. The liquid level measuring hose 1204 and the gas level measuring hose 1205 of the liquid cylinder detect the pressure difference between the condensate and the non-condensable gas. After the detection is completed, the fourth solenoid valve 16 is opened, and the condensate is discharged from the return pipe 2002. When the detector detects multiple sets of steam samples, the condenser 10 is in a superheated state for a long time, and the operating load of the cooling fan 8 is high. At this time, after the first set of steam samples is detected, the controller 18 controls the fifth solenoid valve 17 to open and the fourth solenoid valve 16 to close. The condensate flowing out of the liquid cylinder body 1201 flows into the circulation pipe 1002 through the backflow pipe 2101. The second set of steam samples also enters the condenser tube 1001 at this time. The condensate from the previous set of steam samples helps condense the next set of steam samples (in practical applications, a storage tank can be installed on the reflux pipe 2101 to store the condensate. When the next set of steam samples enters the input terminal of the detector, all the condensate from the previous set of steam samples flows into this storage tank. Then, the controller 18 closes the fifth solenoid valve 17, waiting for the steam sample to flow into the condenser 10. The condensate then flows from the storage tank into the circulation pipe 1002). The condensate is then discharged from the output terminal of the detector through the second row of pipes 2102.

[0047] Please see Figures 1-13 In this embodiment, the present invention provides a steam quality detection method, which uses a steam quality detector as described above, and includes the following steps:

[0048] S1: During the continuous steam sample detection phase, the controller 18 sends signals to solenoid valves 7, 13, 15, 16, and 17, instructing solenoid valve 7 to open the inlet pipe 1901, solenoid valve 13 to close the channel between the cylinder body 1202 and the external environment, solenoid valve 15 to close the outlet pipe 1902, solenoid valve 16 to close the return pipe 2002, and solenoid valve 17 to close the backflow pipe 2101. At the same time, the controller 18 also sends signals to the control unit of the cooling fan 8 and the dual differential pressure transmitter 14 (which is an existing device for measuring the pressure difference between two points, with two pressure input ports connected to the high-pressure side and low-pressure side of the system under test, respectively; in this scheme, these are the liquid cylinder level measuring hose 1204 and the gas cylinder level measuring hose 1205; after detecting the pressure difference, it is converted into an electrical signal and sent to the industrial computer for calculation to generate the specific volume of condensate and non-condensable gas), causing both of them to start.

[0049] S2: The first group of steam samples flows sequentially through the inlet pipe 1901, passing through the steam pressure sensor 1, the throttling device 2, the expanded steam pressure sensor 3, the expanded steam temperature sensor 4, the superheating device 5, and the superheated steam temperature sensor 6. The above monitoring components and the superheated steam temperature sensor 6 obtain the temperature and pressure parameters at each state point, and measure the heating parameters of the superheating device 5, sending them to the industrial computer for statistical calculation (the steam pressure sensor 1 detects the pressure value of the steam sample when it flows into the detector; the throttling device 2 is an existing flow measurement device, usually used in conjunction with a differential pressure transmitter. It generates a pressure difference by creating local resistance in the pipeline, and then calculates the flow rate of the fluid based on this pressure difference; the expanded steam pressure sensor 3 detects the pressure value of the steam sample after throttling; the expanded steam temperature sensor 4 detects the temperature value of the steam sample after throttling; the superheating device 5 heats the saturated steam to a higher temperature, thereby generating superheated steam; and the superheated steam temperature sensor 6 monitors the outlet temperature of the superheated steam).

[0050] S3: The steam sample after heat treatment flows into the condenser 10. The fins on the condenser tube 1001 of the condenser 10 (in this design, a ring-shaped condenser tube 1001 structure is adopted, and the fins are spiral-shaped to increase the heat dissipation area. In actual applications, it can also be designed into other shapes) and the cooling fan 8 are used for heat dissipation, which accelerates the condensation of the steam sample and produces condensate and non-condensable gas. During the start-up process of the cooling fan 8, the power is transmitted to the cleaning component and the vortex component through the transmission component. The cleaning component is controlled to rotate around the condenser 10 to wipe and clean the fins on the condenser tube 1001. The vortex component rotates inside the condenser tube 1001 to accelerate the flow of condensate and non-condensable gas.

[0051] S4: Condensate and non-condensable gas flow into the liquid cylinder body 1201 and the gas cylinder body 1202 through the liquid collection pipe 2001. During the process, the condensate temperature sensor 11 detects the temperature values ​​of the condensate and non-condensable gas and sends the data to the industrial computer. The dual differential pressure transmitter 14 measures the pressure difference between the non-condensable gas and the condensate through the liquid outlet pipe 1203, the liquid cylinder level measuring hose 1204, and the gas cylinder level measuring hose 1205. The above parameters are sent to the industrial computer for statistical calculation to obtain parameters such as the expansion superheat, dryness, and non-condensable gas content of the steam sample.

[0052] S5: After the test is completed, the controller 18 sends a signal to the second solenoid valve 13 and the fifth solenoid valve 17. The second solenoid valve 13 opens the channel between the gas cylinder body 1202 and the external environment, and the fifth solenoid valve 17 opens the backflow pipe 2101. The non-condensable gas flows out to the outside of the detector, and the condensate flows into the circulation pipe 1002 through the backflow pipe 2101. At this time, the second group of steam samples flows into the condenser pipe 1001 synchronously according to the steps of S2-S3. The condensate generated by the first group of steam samples carries away the heat of the second group of steam samples during the flow of the circulation pipe 1002 and is discharged through the drain pipe 1902. (When the detector is used to test a single group of steam samples, it is not necessary to use condensate to cool the subsequent steam samples. At this time, the fifth solenoid valve 17 can be kept closed, and the fourth solenoid valve 16 can be opened to allow the condensate to be discharged directly to the output end of the detector through the return pipe 2002.)
