[0036] The following combination Figure 1-Figure 3 The present invention describes a heat exchanger detection platform based on PLC inspection and detection.

[0037] In this embodiment, a PLC-based heat exchanger testing platform is used to test the functional parameters of a test piece 1 having a first heat exchange channel 11 and a second heat exchange channel 12. The PLC-based heat exchanger testing platform includes a steam system 2, a heating system 3, a cooling system 4, an external circulation system 5, and a control system.

[0038] Among them, the steam system 2 includes a first steam pipeline 21 and a second steam pipeline 22; the heating system 3 includes a heater 31, a first internal circulation pump 32 and a hot water tank 33; the cooling system 4 includes a cooler 41, a second internal circulation pump 42 and a cold water tank 43; the external circulation system 5 includes a cold water tank 51, an external circulation pump 52 and a cooling tower 53; the first steam pipeline 21 is connected to the first heat exchange channel 11, the second steam pipeline 22 is connected to the heater 31, the first heat exchange channel 11, the heater 31, the first internal circulation pump 32 and the hot water tank 33 are connected end to end in sequence, the second heat exchange channel 12, the cooler 41, the second internal circulation pump 42 and the cold water tank 43 are connected end to end in sequence, the cold water tank 51, the external circulation pump 52, the cold water tank 4 3 and the cooling tower 53 are connected end to end in sequence; the control system includes multiple sensors, multiple electric-controlled valves and a control unit, each sensor and each electric-controlled valve is arranged in the first steam pipeline 21, the second steam pipeline 22, the heater 31, the first internal circulation pump 32, the hot water tank 33, the cooler 41, the second internal circulation pump 42, the cold water tank 43, the cold water tank 51, the external circulation pump 52 and the cooling tower 53; the control unit is electrically connected to the first internal circulation pump 32, the second internal circulation pump 42, the external circulation pump 52, the multiple sensors and the multiple electric-controlled valves, and the control unit is used to control the first internal circulation pump 32, the second internal circulation pump 42, the external circulation pump 52 and the multiple electric-controlled valves according to the data detected by the sensors to detect the functional parameters of the test piece 1.

[0039] Specifically, the multiple sensors are one of a liquid level meter, a pressure transmitter, a temperature transmitter or an electromagnetic flow meter.

[0040] For example, in this embodiment, electromagnetic flowmeters are installed on the first internal circulation pump 32, the second internal circulation pump 42, and the external circulation pump 52, while electromagnetic flowmeters and temperature transmitters are installed on the first steam pipeline 21 and the second steam pipeline 22. Electromagnetic flowmeters and temperature transmitters are also installed at the inlet and outlet locations of the heater 31, the cooler 41, and the cooling tower 53. Liquid level gauges are installed in the hot water tank 33, the cold water tank 43, and the cold water tank 51. Furthermore, electromagnetic flowmeters and temperature transmitters are also installed at the corresponding inlet and outlet locations of the first heat exchange channel 11 and the second heat exchange channel 12 of the test piece 1. Furthermore, electrically controlled valves can be installed between the first steam pipeline 21, the second steam pipeline 22, the heater 31, the first internal circulation pump 32, the hot water tank 33, the cooler 41, the second internal circulation pump 42, the cold water tank 43, the cold water tank 51, the external circulation pump 52, and the cooling tower 53 to select whether to open or close the corresponding pipeline.

[0041] When it is necessary to directly use steam for heat exchange in the test piece 1, the control unit opens the electrically controlled valve on the first steam pipeline 21 and closes the electrically controlled valve on the second steam pipeline 22. The first steam pipeline 21 is connected to the first heat exchange channel 11, and steam can directly enter the first heat exchange channel 11 of the test piece 1. At the same time, the control unit controls the second internal circulation pump 42 to start, and the second internal circulation pump 42 drives the cold water in the cold water tank 43 to enter the second heat exchange channel 12 through the cooler 41. In order to reduce the temperature of the cold water entering the second heat exchange channel 12, the external circulation pump 52 can also be turned on. The external circulation pump 52 drives the cold water in the cold water tank 51 to enter the cooler 41, and after the heat exchange is completed, it is cooled by the cooling tower 53. By introducing steam into the first heat exchange channel 11 and cold water into the second heat exchange channel 12, and then using sensors at corresponding positions, the functional parameters of the test piece 1 can be detected.

[0042] When hot water is needed for heat exchange in test piece 1, the control unit opens the electrically controlled valve on the second steam line 22 and closes the electrically controlled valve on the first steam line 21. The second steam line 22 is connected to the heater 31. The control unit activates the first internal circulation pump 32, which drives hot water from the hot water tank 33 into the heater 31 for heat exchange with steam. The heated hot water then enters the first heat exchange channel 11 of test piece 1. Simultaneously, the control unit activates the second internal circulation pump 42, which drives cold water from the cold water tank 43 through the cooler 41 into the second heat exchange channel 12. To lower the temperature of the cold water entering the second heat exchange channel 12, the control unit activates the external circulation pump 52, which drives cold water from the cold water tank 51 into the cooler 41. After heat exchange, the water is cooled by the cooling tower 53. By introducing steam into the first heat exchange channel 11 and cold water into the second heat exchange channel 12, and using sensors located in corresponding positions, the functional parameters of test piece 1 can be tested.

[0043] It should be noted that, since the control system includes multiple sensors, multiple electric control valves and a control unit, each sensor and each electric control valve is arranged in the first steam pipeline 21, the second steam pipeline 22, the heater 31, the first internal circulation pump 32, the hot water tank 33, the cooler 41, the second internal circulation pump 42, the cold water tank 43, the cold water pool 51, the external circulation pump 52 and the cooling tower 53; the control unit is electrically connected to the first internal circulation pump 32, the second internal circulation pump 42, the external circulation pump 52, the multiple sensors and the multiple electric control valves. During the actual test process, according to the data detected by the sensors, it is possible to adjust not only the opening and closing of the electric control valves but also the opening degree of the electric control valves according to the test needs, which can effectively achieve precise control of the test.

[0044] The PLC-based heat exchanger testing platform provided by the present invention utilizes a steam system, a heating system, a cooling system, an external circulation system, and a control system. The control unit is electrically connected to a first internal circulation pump, a second internal circulation pump, an external circulation pump, multiple sensors, and multiple electrically controlled valves. The control unit is configured to control the first internal circulation pump, the second internal circulation pump, the external circulation pump, and the multiple electrically controlled valves based on data detected by the sensors to test the functional parameters of the test piece. This platform can perform heat exchanger performance tests under different media and flow rates, summarize heat exchanger heat transfer and flow resistance criterion equations, and provide important support for subsequent product design and selection.

[0045] In one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, heater 31 is provided with a third heat exchange channel and a fourth heat exchange channel. The ends of the third heat exchange channel are connected to the first steam pipeline and the hot water tank 33, respectively. The ends of the fourth heat exchange channel are connected to the first heat exchange channel 11 and the first internal circulation pump 32, respectively. In other words, the third heat exchange channel is used to pass steam, while the fourth heat exchange channel is used to pass hot water from the hot water tank 33.

[0046] During operation, steam enters the third heat exchange channel. The control unit activates the first internal circulation pump 32, which drives hot water from the hot water tank 33 into the fourth heat exchange channel of the heater 31 to exchange heat with the steam. The heated hot water then enters the first heat exchange channel 11 of the specimen 1. The steam, after condensation, enters the hot water tank 33.

[0047] In this embodiment, multiple heaters 31 are provided, and the third heat exchange channels of multiple heaters 31 are connected in parallel between the first steam pipeline 21 and the hot water tank 33, and the fourth heat exchange channels of multiple heaters 31 are connected in parallel between the first heat exchange channel 11 and the first internal circulation pump 32.

[0048] When a single heater 31 cannot meet the heat demand or the heat supply needs to be adjusted, the controller can control the opening of the electric control valve at the corresponding position to increase the number of heaters 31 incorporated, so that multiple heaters 31 can be used for heat exchange at the same time.

[0049] In another embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cooler 41 is provided with a fifth heat exchange channel and a sixth heat exchange channel; the two ends of the fifth heat exchange channel are respectively connected to the second heat exchange channel 12 and the second internal circulation pump 42, and the two ends of the sixth heat exchange channel are respectively connected to the cooling tower 53 and the external circulation pump 52.

[0050] During operation, the external circulation pump 52 drives the cold water in the cold water pool 51 into the sixth heat exchange channel of the cooler 41. The second internal circulation pump 42 drives the cold water in the cold water tank 43 into the fifth heat exchange channel of the cooler 41. At this time, the cold water in the cold water pool 51 can cool the water in the cold water tank 43. After cooling, the water in the cold water tank 43 enters the second heat exchange channel 12. After heat exchange, the cold water in the cold water pool 51 enters the cooling tower 53 for heat dissipation before returning to the cold water pool 51.

[0051] In this embodiment, multiple coolers 41 are provided, and the fifth heat exchange channels of multiple coolers 41 are connected in parallel between the second heat exchange channel 12 and the second internal circulation pump 42, and the sixth heat exchange channels of multiple coolers 41 are connected in parallel between the cooling tower 53 and the external circulation pump 52.

[0052] When a single cooler 41 cannot meet the cooling demand, or when the cooling supply needs to be adjusted, the controller can be used to control the opening of the electric control valve at the corresponding position to increase the number of coolers 41 incorporated, so that multiple coolers 41 can be used for cooling at the same time.

[0053] Correspondingly, there are multiple cooling towers 53 and corresponding external circulation pumps 52, and each cooling tower 53 and external circulation pump 52 corresponds to a cooler 41, so that a group of cooling towers 53 and external circulation pumps 52 can be used to cool a cooler 41, so that multiple coolers 41 of the entire equipment can supply cold air at the same time.

[0054] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the heating system 3 includes: multiple heating pipelines 34, each heating pipeline 34 has a different diameter, each heating pipeline 34 is provided with a first internal circulation pump 32, and both ends of the heating pipeline 34 are connected to the hot water tank 33 and the heater 31.

[0055] In this embodiment, there are two heating pipes 34, and the two heating pipes 34 are arranged according to the upper limit of 100m. 3 / h、200m 3 / h is controlled in two gears. The user can choose to open the electric control valves on the two heating pipes 34 to control the amount of hot water flowing from the hot water tank 33 to the heater 31.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cooling system 4 includes: multiple cooling pipes 44, each cooling pipe 44 has a different pipe diameter, each cooling pipe 44 is provided with a second internal circulation pump 42, and both ends of the cooling pipe 44 are connected to the cold water tank 43 and the cooler 41.

[0057] In this embodiment, there are two cooling pipes 44, and the two cooling pipes 44 are provided with an upper limit of 200m. 3 / h、400m 3 / h is controlled in two gears. The user can choose to open the electric control valves on the two cooling pipes 44 to control the amount of water flowing from the cold water tank 43 to the cooler 41.

[0058] The steam system 2 uses primary-side saturated steam. The first steam pipeline 21 and the second steam pipeline 22 on the steam system 2 are provided with electrically controlled valves with adjustable openings, which are controlled in three gears with upper limits of 4t / h, 8t / h, and 12t / h.

[0059] The pipeline in the external circulation system 4 is also provided with an electrically controlled valve with adjustable opening, and the power of the external circulation pump 52 can also be adjusted, with two gears of control according to the upper limit of 200m3 / h and 400m3 / h.

[0060] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the PLC-based heat exchanger testing platform also includes: a test system for setting up test piece 1. The test system includes a steady-state thermal conductivity test device, a liquid thermal conductivity measurement device, a forced convection heat release system measurement device, a steam condensation heat transfer and heat supply system measurement device, a forward and reverse heat flow temperature difference experimental device, a comprehensive heat exchanger test device, a comprehensive heat transfer performance test device, a saturated steam PT relationship tester, a steady-state flat plate method for measuring the thermal conductivity of insulation materials test bench, a large container water boiling heat release test bench, an extended body thermal conductivity test bench, a medium-temperature normal emissivity measurement instrument, a forced convection single-tube external heat release coefficient test device, and other equipment. One or more of these devices can be selected for testing as needed.

[0061] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the control unit is a programmable logic controller (PLC).

[0062] Specifically, the control system is divided into field instruments, actuators, control cabinets and host computers.

[0063] Field instruments (sensors) primarily include pressure transmitters, temperature transmitters, and electromagnetic flowmeters. Actuators primarily include electric control valves, frequency converters, and water pumps. Control cabinets primarily include the hot-side circulation pump control cabinet, the cold-side circulation pump control cabinet, the external circulation pump control cabinet, the air-cooling tower fan control cabinet, the feed water pump control cabinet, and the PLC control cabinet. The host computer includes an industrial computer, ForceControl V7.2 configuration software, and an access database.

In the central control room, the operator can send start-stop commands to the PLC control cabinet through the host computer to start and stop the corresponding water pumps and fans.

[0065] The PLC controller adopts PID control strategy to intelligently adjust the opening of the steam side electric valve to achieve a hot side inlet temperature of 60±1℃, meeting the test temperature requirements. At the same time, the PID control strategy is used to intelligently adjust the frequency of the external circulation pump 52, and through flow control, ensure that the cold side inlet is 30±1℃.

[0066] The PLC controller adopts PID control strategy to intelligently adjust the opening of the electric valves in each pipeline to achieve variable flow control of each pipeline with fast speed response and high control accuracy.

[0067] The PLC control system is responsible for collecting analog signals such as pressure, temperature, and flow, and can also perform instrument accuracy correction to improve data collection precision and accuracy.

[0068] The control system automatically calculates important indicators such as the resistance drop of the heat exchanger on the hot and cold sides, the primary heat release, secondary heat absorption, thermal balance error, the Reynolds number of the fluid at different flow rates on the hot and cold sides, and the heat transfer coefficient by collecting signals such as pressure, temperature, and flow. The computing power can reach 500 times per second. At the same time, to ensure data stability, it can calculate the average value by time period and automatically filter avalanche points or sudden change data points.

[0069] In addition, the host computer can collect and save raw data and processed data on a scheduled or on-demand basis, and supports the export of files in PDF and EXCEL formats, which facilitates subsequent data processing to summarize the heat transfer and flow resistance standard equations of the heat exchanger, providing support for product optimization, design, and selection.

[0070] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative, and some or all of the modules may be selected according to actual needs to achieve the purpose of the present embodiment. Those skilled in the art may understand and implement the present embodiment without inventive effort.

[0071] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it.
