Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of air leakage calculation of a three-compartment rotary air preheater, and mainly to a method and system for calculating the air leakage of a three-compartment rotary air preheater. Background Art
[0002] As a key energy recovery device in the boiler system, the rotary air preheater plays a vital role in the boiler's tail flue. Among various air preheaters, the three-compartment rotary air preheater is widely used in large boiler units due to its unique structure and operating characteristics. However, as the equipment continues to operate, the three-compartment rotary air preheater has exposed a series of problems that cannot be ignored, the most prominent of which is air leakage. Large amounts of air leakage have a multi-faceted negative impact on the safe and economical operation of the boiler unit. From the perspective of thermal efficiency, this part of the air leaking into the flue gas side greatly increases the flue gas flow discharged by the boiler.
[0003] Currently, common measurement methods either have limited accuracy, unable to accurately capture subtle changes in secondary air leakage; or are complex to operate, requiring significant manpower and time for regular testing, making it difficult to achieve true real-time online monitoring. This lack of monitoring technology prevents operators from obtaining timely and accurate real-time data on secondary air leakage, making it difficult to make scientific and rational operational decisions based on this data. Furthermore, due to the lack of accurate leakage data, maintenance personnel are unable to clearly identify specific maintenance priorities and directions during post-shutdown maintenance. This leads to blind inspections, increasing maintenance costs and making it difficult to fundamentally resolve the leakage problem.
[0004] For example, the Chinese invention patent with publication number “CN105021357A” discloses a method and device for determining the air preheater leakage rate, which specifically discloses “obtaining the average oxygen content at the air preheater inlet; determining the excess air coefficient at the air preheater outlet based on the average oxygen content at the air preheater inlet; determining the excess air coefficient at the air preheater outlet based on the excess air coefficient at the air preheater outlet; determining the air preheater no-leakage outlet flue gas temperature based on the air preheater inlet flue gas temperature, the air preheater outlet primary air temperature, the air preheater outlet secondary air temperature, the air preheater inlet primary air temperature and the air preheater inlet secondary air temperature; determining the air preheater flue gas leakage temperature based on the primary air temperature and the secondary air temperature; determining the air preheater no-leakage outlet flue gas temperature based on the air preheater no-leakage outlet flue gas temperature and the actual boiler exhaust gas temperature; determining the air preheater no-leakage outlet flue gas temperature based on the air preheater inlet flue gas temperature, the air preheater outlet primary air temperature, the air preheater outlet secondary air temperature, the air preheater inlet primary air temperature and the air preheater inlet secondary air temperature; determining the air preheater flue gas leakage temperature based on the air preheater no-leakage outlet flue gas temperature and the actual boiler exhaust gas temperature; determining the air preheater no-leakage outlet flue gas temperature based on the air preheater outlet flue gas temperature and the actual boiler exhaust gas temperature. and the air preheater flue gas leakage temperature, determine the increase in the air preheater outlet leakage coefficient; according to the increase in the air preheater outlet leakage coefficient and the air preheater inlet excess air coefficient, determine the air preheater leakage rate". However, the calculation process of this method depends on multiple parameters such as the air preheater inlet flue gas temperature and multiple wind temperatures, and the measurement accuracy of the parameters will directly affect the accuracy of the final leakage rate calculation, resulting in a large deviation in the entire calculation result. In addition, this method does not consider the influence of the differential pressure between the primary air, secondary air and flue gas bin on the leakage during the calculation process. For different leakage situations such as primary air leaking into secondary air, no targeted separate calculation and analysis is performed, and the leakage situation in different parts cannot be accurately understood, which is not conducive to accurately locating and solving the leakage problem.

[0074] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of a method according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0075] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below to facilitate understanding of the present invention by those skilled in the art. However, it should be clear that the present invention is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, as long as various changes are within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined and determined by the appended claims, these changes are obvious, and all inventions and creations utilizing the concepts of the present invention are protected.
[0076] The present invention provides the following technical solution: a method and system for calculating the air leakage of a three-compartment rotary air preheater.
[0077] See Figure 1 This embodiment provides a method for calculating the air leakage of a three-compartment rotary air preheater:
[0078] S1. Obtain relevant data of primary air, secondary air and smoke bin and perform pre-processing;
[0079] The relevant data include the flow rate, temperature, pressure and oxygen content of the primary air, secondary air and flue gas bin;
[0080] The preprocessing includes data cleaning and sampling window adjustment, specifically:
[0081] The data cleaning includes processing missing values, outliers and standardizing data formats;
[0082] The specific processing of outliers is to calculate the arithmetic mean of the relevant data, which is expressed as in represents the arithmetic mean, x i Represents the i-th related data, n represents the number of related data, and i represents the index value of the i-th related data; the relative deviation value between the current data and the arithmetic mean is expressed as Preset the deviation limit value. If the relative deviation value of the current data is greater than the deviation limit value, the current data will be eliminated from the relevant data;
[0083] The deviation limit value is selected in the range of 30%-40%;
[0084] The sampling window adjustment specifically includes adjusting the sampling window duration according to the current operation stability of the air preheater;
[0085] The rotary air preheater rotates once every 1 minute. If other conditions permit, the time it takes for the air preheater to rotate once is used as the sampling window length to average out data fluctuations caused by different resistances at various locations on the heat transfer elements of the air preheater.
[0086] Since the air preheater uses an asynchronous motor for rotation, the duration of its rotation cycle is not completely fixed. The sampling window duration can be adjusted regularly according to the actual situation. A more convenient method is to multiply the actual speed of the air preheater motor by the reducer ratio to obtain the actual speed of the air preheater, and use the actual speed of the air preheater to make real-time corrections. Alternatively, the correction value can be manually input according to the actual situation.
[0087] If the required sampling period is short, it can be divided into multiple equal or unequal time periods within one rotation period;

[0110] S411. Adjust the primary air flow rate to keep the secondary air inlet pressure, air volume, and flue gas inlet pressure, air volume, etc. unchanged;
[0111] The differential pressure of the primary air to the smoke bin is extrapolated to zero, and the leakage of the secondary air into the smoke bin is separated; the leakage coefficient of the primary air into the smoke bin is calculated under the leakage test of the preset working conditions, and is expressed as follows:

[0116] In one embodiment, under different primary air pressures, the leakage of primary air into the smoke bin changes, but the pressure of secondary air on the smoke bin does not change, so the air volume of secondary air leaking into the smoke bin w sg No change, we can get w pg,n +w pg,n-1 =(w g,n -w sg )+(w g,n-1 -w sg )=w g,n +w g,n-1 -2w sg , and the leakage of secondary air into the smoke bin can be obtained by calculating the measuring device, that is, w sg Measurable, so we can get w pg,n +w pg,n-1 ;
[0117] In another embodiment, the leakage rate of the secondary air into the smoke bin is obtained by the graphical method. Specifically, since the square root of the average differential pressure is linearly related to the leakage rate, the graphical method is used to convert w g and As the horizontal and vertical axis coordinates respectively; w pg Extrapolate to 0, that is, At this time, the air leakage of the primary air into the smoke bin is 0, that is, the total air leakage of the smoke bin is equal to the air leakage of the secondary air into the smoke bin, so w g =w sg ;

[0128] Using the linear relationship between air leakage and the square root of the average differential pressure, the air leakage coefficient of the secondary air leaking into the smoke bin is calculated as follows: where w sg,n-1 Indicates the leakage of secondary air into the flue gas bin under the n-1th working condition, Δp sg,n-1 Indicates the average differential pressure between the secondary air and the flue gas bin under the n-1th working condition; the number of preset working conditions is 4-6;
[0129] In one embodiment, under different secondary air pressures, the secondary air leakage into the smoke bin changes, but the pressure of the primary air on the smoke bin does not change, so the air volume of the primary air leakage into the smoke bin w pg No change, we can get w sg,n +w sg,n-1 =(w g,n -w pg )+(w g,n-1 -w pg )=w g,n +w g,n-1 -2w pg , and the air leakage into the smoke bin can be obtained by calculation, that is, w pg Measurable, so we can get w sg,n +w sg,n-1 ;
[0130] In another embodiment, the leakage rate of the primary air into the smoke bin is obtained by the graphical method. Specifically, since the square root of the average differential pressure is linearly related to the leakage rate, the graphical method is used to convert w g and As the horizontal and vertical axis coordinates respectively; w sgExtrapolate to 0, that is, At this time, the leakage of secondary air into the smoke bin is 0, that is, the total leakage of the smoke bin is equal to the leakage of secondary air into the smoke bin, so w g =w pg ;
[0131] In another embodiment, the leakage coefficient of primary air into the smoke bin is obtained by using the drawing method, specifically by converting w g and As the horizontal and vertical axis coordinates, the slope of the drawn curve is k sg ;
