[0014] This application provides a method, system, and medium for cleaning high-flux heat exchangers, which addresses the technical problems of high-flux heat exchangers in the prior art, such as the difficulty in cleaning the microchannel structure and the rapid accumulation of deposits, the inability of traditional cleaning methods to efficiently and accurately remove deposits, and the low cleaning efficiency and energy utilization.
[0015] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or server that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or modules not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or devices.
[0017] Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a method for cleaning a high-throughput heat exchanger, the method comprising:
[0018] P10: Perform main channel cleanliness monitoring and periodic cleaning determination, and generate a cleaning determination receipt.
[0019] Specifically, in this step, first, the main channel of the high-flux heat exchanger needs to be monitored in real time for cleanliness to ensure that the heat exchanger maintains good heat exchange efficiency during operation. For this purpose, sensor assemblies are installed at the inlet and outlet of the main channel of the heat exchanger. These sensors can continuously monitor various key parameters of the fluid, including flow rate, turbidity, conductivity, and particle concentration. The flow rate sensor is used to monitor changes in the flow rate of the fluid, which can indirectly reflect whether there is a blockage or an increase in resistance to fluid flow inside the heat exchanger. The turbidity sensor can detect the concentration of suspended particles in the fluid, and an increase in turbidity value usually means that a large amount of sediment has accumulated in the channel of the heat exchanger, resulting in a decrease in heat exchange efficiency. The conductivity sensor reflects changes in water quality by measuring the conductivity of the fluid, which is usually proportional to the concentration of dissolved ions in water. If the conductivity changes significantly, it may mean that a large amount of mineral or metal oxide has accumulated inside the heat exchanger, which can affect the performance of the heat exchanger. The particle concentration sensor detects the number and size of particulate matter in the fluid in real time, further reflecting whether the channel of the heat exchanger is blocked by sediment.
[0020] The real-time monitoring data of all these parameters is transmitted to the central control system, where periodic cleaning determination is made according to pre-set rules. This rule can be based on long-term experimental data and actual operation experience, taking into account the output information of various sensors such as flow rate, turbidity, conductivity, etc., and making periodic judgments according to pre-set cleaning standards, such as whether the threshold for cleaning has been reached. For example, when the turbidity value exceeds the set threshold, it indicates that the cleanliness of the main channel has decreased to the point where cleaning is needed; when the pressure and flow rate change exceed the allowed range, it indicates that there may be a blockage problem inside the heat exchanger, which needs to be cleaned in a timely manner; similarly, abnormal changes in the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet can also trigger cleaning determination. Through this multi-parameter comprehensive determination method, it can more accurately determine whether the heat exchanger needs to be cleaned, avoiding false positives due to accidental fluctuations in a single parameter.
[0021] Finally, according to the results of periodic cleaning determination, a cleaning determination receipt is generated. This receipt details the monitored parameter data, the basis for the determination, and the conclusion of whether cleaning is needed. The cleaning determination receipt is not only an important basis for the activation of the subsequent cleaning module, but also provides detailed records for the maintenance and management of the equipment, facilitating the tracing and analysis of the operating status of the heat exchanger. Through the main channel cleanliness monitoring and periodic cleaning determination method, the efficient operation of the high-flux heat exchanger can be effectively guaranteed, the service life of the equipment can be extended, and the production losses caused by equipment failure can be reduced.
[0022] P20: activating a cleaning module according to the cleaning determination receipt, the cleaning module connecting a dedicated cleaning circuit pipeline, forming an independent circulating cleaning channel, and being configured with a chemical cleaning agent storage tank, a circulating pump and a filtering unit.
[0023] Optionally, according to the result of the cleaning determination receipt, the system will decide whether to start the cleaning module. If the determination result shows that cleaning is needed, the cleaning module is automatically activated, and the system instructs the cleaning module through the control system. Once the cleaning module is activated, the system will connect a dedicated cleaning circuit pipeline designed for cleaning, which is completely independent of the cleaning system of the high-flux heat exchanger, ensuring that the cleaning process will not interfere with the normal operation channel of the heat exchanger.
[0024] The configuration of the cleaning module is the key to achieving efficient cleaning. Its main components include a chemical cleaning agent storage tank, a circulating pump and a filtering unit. Among them, the chemical cleaning agent storage tank stores specific cleaning liquids, which are carefully selected according to the type and accumulation of deposits, usually including detergents, solvents and oil removal agents, etc., with strong cleaning effect. Through the control of the system, the concentration, dosage and injection method of the cleaning agent can be accurately adjusted to ensure that its dissolving effect on the deposits is most efficient during the cleaning process.
[0025] The circulating pump is the key power component of the cleaning module, which drives the cleaning liquid to flow in the independent circulating cleaning channel. The selection of the circulating pump needs to be optimized according to the structure of the heat exchanger, the properties of the cleaning liquid and the requirements of the cleaning flow. Through the continuous action of the circulating pump, the cleaning liquid can form a stable flow state inside the heat exchanger, ensuring that the cleaning agent and the deposits are in full contact, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency. At the same time, the flow and pressure of the circulating pump can be dynamically adjusted according to the cleaning scheme to adapt to the needs of different cleaning intensities, ensuring that the cleaning liquid can effectively cover all areas that need to be cleaned, including those relatively hidden and difficult to access.
[0026] The filtering unit is another important component of the cleaning module, which functions to filter the cleaning liquid during the cleaning process and remove impurities and detached deposits generated during the cleaning process. The filtering unit can adopt a multi-stage filtering design, including coarse filtering and fine filtering stages. Coarse filtering is mainly used to remove larger particle impurities to protect the subsequent fine filtering unit and circulating pump; fine filtering can effectively remove small particle impurities to ensure that the cleaning liquid always maintains high cleanliness during the circulation process. The setting of the filtering unit not only improves the cleaning effect, but also prolongs the service life of the cleaning agent and reduces the cleaning cost.
[0027] Throughout the entire process, the cleaning circuit pipeline is completely isolated from the normal operation circuit of the heat exchanger, preventing any external contamination or cleaning fluid leakage from affecting the heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger during the cleaning process. Through this independent cleaning circuit system, it can ensure that the deposits inside the heat exchanger are thoroughly removed, while maintaining the stability and safety of the heat exchanger operation.
[0028] P30: Based on the cleaning module, low-pressure pulsed clean water flow is injected into the high-flux heat exchanger, micro-channel dredging pretreatment is carried out, and the first liquid turbidity at the outlet is monitored in real time. When the first liquid turbidity is less than the set turbidity threshold, enter the directional chemical cleaning stage.
[0029] It should be understood that after the cleaning module is activated, the micro-channels inside the heat exchanger are first pretreated by injecting low-pressure pulsed clean water flow. The low-pressure pulsed clean water flow here refers to a water flow with a certain pressure but lower than the conventional cleaning pressure, and the water flow is injected into the heat exchanger in the form of pulses. The pulsed water flow has the characteristics of instantaneous high-pressure impact, which can effectively impact and loosen the deposits attached to the channel wall without damaging the micro-channels of the heat exchanger, thereby realizing the dredging of the micro-channels. This dredging method is particularly suitable for the complex and narrow micro-channel structure inside the high-flux heat exchanger, which can effectively avoid channel damage or deformation caused by excessive pressure. The core of this stage is to help loosen the loose deposits inside the micro-channels through the impact force of the pulse flow, and accelerate their shedding.
[0030] At the same time of injecting low-pressure pulsed clean water flow, the first liquid turbidity at the outlet of the heat exchanger is monitored in real time. Turbidity is an important indicator of the content of suspended particles in water, and the turbidity sensor can obtain the turbidity of the outlet liquid in real time. When the first liquid turbidity is less than the set turbidity threshold, it indicates that the deposits in the micro-channels have been mostly removed, and the cleanliness of the water flow has reached the standard that can enter the directional chemical cleaning stage. At this time, the system will automatically stop the injection of low-pressure pulsed clean water flow and prepare to enter the directional chemical cleaning stage.
[0031] In this step, the turbidity threshold is a parameter determined in advance according to the operating requirements and cleaning standards of the heat exchanger. The setting of this threshold needs to consider factors such as the material of the heat exchanger, the structure of the micro-channels, the type of deposits, and the water quality requirements after cleaning. Through scientific and reasonable threshold setting, the effect of micro-channel dredging pretreatment can be optimized, while avoiding waste of resources and equipment damage caused by excessive cleaning.
[0032] The directional chemical cleaning stage will target stubborn deposits that are still tightly attached to the surface of the heat exchanger and are difficult to remove by physical cleaning. By monitoring the turbidity change and comparing it with the set threshold, real-time feedback can be achieved, ensuring that the cleaning process is carried out as needed, avoiding unnecessary cleaning time and chemical cleaning agents.
[0033] The key to this stage is the low-pressure setting and real-time turbidity monitoring of the pulse cleaning. The low-pressure pulsed clean water flow can effectively avoid excessive impact on the internal channels of the high-flux heat exchanger. At the same time, by using real-time monitoring data as feedback, the cleaning progress can be dynamically adjusted to effectively improve the cleaning effect and ensure the safe operation of the heat exchanger.
[0034] P40: During the targeted chemical cleaning stage, sediment is detected based on the effluent information from the outlet, and a targeted chemical cleaning assessment is conducted based on the sediment detection results to generate a targeted cleaning plan.
[0035] Furthermore, step P40 in this embodiment of the application also includes:
[0036] P41: Construct a sediment parameter feature vector based on the effluent information from the outlet. The sediment parameter feature vector includes particle diameter distribution, conductivity variation gradient, and viscosity variation trend. P42: Input the sediment parameter feature vector into the sediment identification model to identify sediment type and analyze accumulation intensity, generating initial detection results. P43: Combine the historical cleaning response data of the heat exchanger to perform a confidence-weighted calibration on the initial detection results, generating sediment detection results.
[0037] Optionally, after entering the targeted chemical cleaning stage, the first step is to detect sediments based on the real-time effluent information from the outlet. By analyzing the effluent information, including parameters such as chemical composition, particle size, conductivity, and viscosity, a sediment parameter feature vector is constructed. This feature vector covers key indicators such as the particle diameter distribution, conductivity gradient, and viscosity trend of the sediments, providing basic data for subsequent sediment identification and analysis. The particle diameter distribution, monitored by a particle size sensor, provides information on the size distribution of sediment particles in the fluid. Particle size directly affects the difficulty of sediment removal; larger particles are generally easier to remove, while small particles may cause microchannel blockage or adhere to the pipe wall. The conductivity gradient reflects the concentration change of dissolved substances in the fluid and is usually related to the accumulation of deposits such as scale and minerals. Changes in conductivity can indirectly reveal the degree of sediment accumulation, especially in water treatment or heat exchange equipment, where fluctuations in conductivity are often used to determine the extent of scaling. Viscosity change trend is to monitor the change of liquid viscosity over time. An increase in viscosity usually indicates that deposits have accumulated in the pipe and may form a more adhesive substance.
[0038] Subsequently, the sediment parameter feature vector is input into a pre-constructed sediment identification model. Based on historical data and existing sediment type information, the model classifies and identifies the sediment through machine learning, pattern recognition, or statistical analysis methods, determines its type (such as scale, oil stain, metal oxide, etc.), and analyzes the sediment accumulation strength to evaluate the tightness and distribution of the sediment. This process not only determines the specific type of sediment, such as carbonate scale, silica scale, or iron oxide scale, but also evaluates the accumulation of sediment inside the heat exchanger, providing preliminary evaluation basis for directional chemical cleaning.
[0039] To further improve the accuracy and reliability of the detection results, historical cleaning response data of the heat exchanger can be combined to perform credibility weighted calibration on the initial detection results. The historical cleaning response data includes the relationship between different sediment types and cleaning effects in previous cleaning processes, as well as specific cleaning fluid ratios, cleaning intensity, and other parameters used in the cleaning process. By comparing and weighting these historical data with the current detection results, the system can eliminate errors caused by external environmental changes or equipment state differences, ensuring that the final sediment detection results are more accurate and reliable.
[0040] Finally, the sediment detection results after credibility weighted calibration will be used as the basis for generating a directional cleaning scheme. Based on these data, the system can accurately develop a targeted cleaning scheme. The scheme will specify the type, concentration, cleaning time, temperature, and other key parameters of the chemical cleaning agent used to ensure that the cleaning process can efficiently and completely remove the sediment while minimizing corrosion and damage to the heat exchanger material.
[0041] Further, the step P40 of the embodiment of the present application further includes:
[0042] P44: The sediment detection results include sediment type, sediment accumulation amount, and sediment clump density; P45: Determine a set of cleaning fluid types based on the sediment type; P46: Perform a first directional evaluation based on the sediment accumulation amount and sediment clump density, combined with the set of cleaning fluid types, to generate a cleaning fluid ratio scheme, which includes cleaning fluid concentration; P47: Obtain heat exchanger tube wall information, and perform a second directional evaluation combined with the cleaning fluid ratio scheme to generate the directional cleaning scheme, which includes cleaning fluid concentration, cleaning fluid temperature, flushing flow rate, and circulation time.
[0043] Specifically, the generation process of the directional chemical cleaning scheme can be further refined to ensure that the cleaning operation can accurately target the actual situation of the sediment inside the heat exchanger.
[0044] After completing the sediment detection, the generated sediment detection results will contain key information such as sediment type, sediment accumulation amount, and sediment clump density. Sediment type refers to the specific physical properties of the sediment, such as scale, oil, metal oxides, bacterial colonies, etc. The accumulation amount refers to the total amount of sediment accumulated on the surface of the heat exchanger or in the pipeline, usually expressed in weight per unit area (e.g., g / m 2 ). Clump density reflects the tightness of the sediment in the heat exchanger. Sediments with higher clump density are more difficult to clean because they adhere more firmly to the surface.
[0045] First, determine the corresponding cleaning fluid type set based on the sediment type. Different types of sediment require different types of cleaning fluid to dissolve or remove. For example, for scale, an acidic cleaning fluid may be selected to dissolve minerals, and for oil, an organic solvent cleaning fluid may be used. The system will automatically select the appropriate cleaning fluid type set based on the type of sediment, including but not limited to acid, base, organic solvent, etc., to ensure that the cleaning fluid has good dissolving and cleaning effect on the sediment.
[0046] Next, based on the sediment accumulation amount and sediment clump density, combined with the determined cleaning fluid type set, a directional evaluation is performed to generate a cleaning fluid ratio scheme. The sediment accumulation amount reflects the total amount of sediment, while the clump density indicates the tightness of the sediment. These two factors together determine the concentration of the cleaning fluid. For example, sediment with high accumulation amount and high clump density may require a higher concentration of cleaning fluid to achieve effective cleaning. Therefore, the cleaning fluid ratio scheme will include the specific cleaning fluid concentration to ensure that the cleaning fluid can function optimally.
[0047] Further, obtain the heat exchanger tube wall information, including tube wall material, thickness, corrosion resistance, etc. Combined with the cleaning fluid ratio scheme, a second directional evaluation is performed. This step is very important because different materials of the tube wall have different adaptability to the cleaning fluid. Some cleaning fluids at high concentrations may cause corrosion or wear to the tube wall. For example, some tube wall materials may be sensitive to high temperatures or prone to erosion under high flow rates. Therefore, the directional cleaning scheme not only includes the cleaning fluid concentration, but also adjusts the cleaning fluid temperature, flushing flow rate, and cycle length according to the tube wall information to ensure that the cleaning process can effectively remove sediment without damaging the heat exchanger tube wall. Finally, the generated directional cleaning scheme will include parameters such as cleaning fluid concentration, cleaning fluid temperature, flushing flow rate, and cycle length. Through the adjustment of these parameters, the system can achieve fine cleaning of different sediments, making the cleaning process both efficient and safe.
[0048] Overall, by introducing sediment type, accumulation amount, caking density, pipe wall information and other multi-dimensional data, the formulation of the cleaning scheme is more intelligent and accurate. Through directional evaluation, the ratio, temperature, flow rate and other parameters of the cleaning fluid can be dynamically adjusted according to the specific situation to ensure the maximum benefit of the cleaning process, while avoiding unnecessary damage to the heat exchanger equipment.
[0049] Further, the step P46 of the embodiment of the present application further includes:
[0050] P46-1: Construct a nonlinear response model of sediment deposition strength and cleaning fluid concentration, and form a reverse prediction matrix through multiple experimental samples, the reverse prediction matrix including a concentration-time joint matching table; P46-2: Using the nonlinear response model, automatically fitting to generate a recommended concentration interval according to the sediment accumulation amount and sediment caking density, and combining the reverse prediction matrix to calculate the minimum effective dissolution time corresponding to the recommended concentration interval, to generate a cleaning fluid ratio scheme.
[0051] Optionally, the generation process of the cleaning fluid ratio scheme can be further refined to achieve precise optimization of cleaning fluid concentration and dissolution time by constructing a nonlinear response model and a reverse prediction matrix.
[0052] First, based on experimental data, a nonlinear response model between the deposition strength of the sediment and the concentration of the cleaning fluid is constructed. The deposition strength of the sediment is usually closely related to the type, accumulation amount and caking density of the sediment, etc. The greater the deposition strength of the sediment, the more firmly it adheres, and the more difficult it is to clean. Therefore, through the nonlinear response model, the system can establish an accurate relationship between the deposition strength of the sediment and the required cleaning fluid concentration, to ensure that different intensity of sediment can be treated with the corresponding concentration of cleaning fluid. For example, by cleaning experiments on different types of sediments (such as scale, oil stains, metal oxides, etc.), experimental data samples such as cleaning fluid concentration, cleaning effect (such as solubility of sediment, removal efficiency) are collected. And through multiple experimental data samples, through mathematical statistics, the effect of cleaning fluid of different concentrations on different types of sediments is analyzed to form a nonlinear response model.
[0053] At the same time, through multiple experimental samples, cleaning experiments are conducted on sediments of different types, accumulation amounts and caking densities to obtain the required cleaning fluid concentration for each type of sediment, thereby forming a reverse prediction matrix. The matrix includes a concentration-time joint matching table, which records the minimum dissolution time (i.e. the shortest dissolution time) required for cleaning fluid at different concentrations to ensure that the sediment can be completely dissolved and removed. The table can recommend the best matching value of cleaning fluid concentration and cleaning time according to the accumulation of different sediments.
[0054] In practical operation, the established nonlinear response model can be used to automatically fit the recommended concentration range based on the actual measured sediment accumulation and sediment agglomerate density. Accumulation and agglomerate density are key factors affecting cleaning effectiveness. The larger the accumulation or the higher the agglomerate density, the higher the concentration and longer the dissolution time of the cleaning fluid required to effectively remove the sediment. Through automatic fitting of the model, the system can calculate a recommended concentration range based on these sediment characteristics, which indicates the range of cleaning fluid concentration that should be used to ensure that the cleaning fluid can effectively dissolve and remove the sediment.
[0055] At the same time, combined with the inverse prediction matrix, the minimum effective dissolution time corresponding to the recommended concentration range is further calculated. The minimum effective dissolution time refers to the shortest time that can ensure complete dissolution of the sediment within a given concentration range. This calculation process takes into account various factors, including the type of sediment, accumulation, agglomerate density, and the chemical properties of the cleaning fluid. Finally, an accurate cleaning fluid proportioning scheme is generated based on the recommended concentration range and the minimum effective dissolution time, which not only includes the concentration of the cleaning fluid, but also other cleaning parameters (such as temperature, flow rate, etc.), ensuring that each cleaning can achieve the best effect, avoiding resource waste and reducing damage to equipment.
[0056] Further, the step P47 of the embodiment of the present application further includes:
[0057] P47-1: Collect the channel cross-sectional area, pipe wall material information, thickness information, and corrosion resistance level of the high-flux heat exchanger to generate a structure risk constraint; P47-2: Based on the structure risk constraint as a basis constraint, taking the cleaning fluid concentration, cleaning fluid temperature, flushing flow rate, and cycle length as adjustment parameters, and taking cleaning efficiency and cleaning cost as optimization objectives, the cleaning fluid proportioning scheme is subjected to incremental optimization to generate the directional cleaning scheme.
[0058] In one possible embodiment of the present application, the generation process of the targeted cleaning scheme can be further refined. Specifically, by first collecting key parameters such as the channel cross-sectional area of the high-flux heat exchanger, the pipe wall material information, the thickness information, and the corrosion resistance level, a structural risk constraint is generated. These parameters are crucial for the design of the cleaning scheme, as different pipe sizes, materials, and thicknesses have a direct impact on the adaptability of the cleaning fluid and the cleaning intensity. The cross-sectional area of the pipe determines the size of the space for the flow of the cleaning fluid, while the material and thickness of the pipe wall determine the corrosion resistance, temperature tolerance range, and solubility of the cleaning fluid. If the pipe wall material is not acid-resistant or has poor high-temperature resistance, the concentration and temperature of the cleaning fluid need to be strictly limited during the cleaning process to avoid corrosion or damage to the pipe. At the same time, the corrosion resistance level of the heat exchanger can help determine the components that should be avoided in the cleaning fluid, ensuring that the selected cleaning fluid does not cause additional damage to the pipe. Based on this information, the system generates a structural risk constraint, i.e., during the cleaning process, it must ensure that the use parameters of the cleaning fluid do not exceed the tolerance of the heat exchanger structure. For example, if the pipe wall material of the heat exchanger is stainless steel and has a low corrosion resistance level, the system will limit the concentration and temperature of the cleaning fluid to avoid damaging the pipe.
[0059] On the basis of the structural risk constraint, the cleaning fluid concentration, cleaning fluid temperature, flushing flow rate, and cycle length are used as adjustment parameters to optimize the cleaning fluid ratio scheme. First, the system sets the initial concentration, temperature, flow rate, and time range of the cleaning fluid, and then adjusts these parameters step by step through a multi-objective optimization algorithm. For each parameter, the system evaluates its impact on cleaning efficiency and cost. During the adjustment process, the change in cleaning fluid concentration directly affects the solubility of the cleaning, but the risk of corrosion on the equipment due to excessively high concentration also needs to be considered; the temperature of the cleaning fluid affects the cleaning speed, but excessively high temperature may cause damage to the pipe wall, so the system optimizes the temperature setting according to the temperature resistance of the pipe wall material; the flushing flow rate determines the scouring efficiency of the cleaning fluid, and excessively low flow rate may result in incomplete cleaning, while excessively high flow rate may waste cleaning fluid; the cycle length is an important factor in the cleaning process, and excessively long time will increase the cost, while excessively short time may affect the cleaning effect. The system evaluates these factors comprehensively and calculates the cleaning effect and cleaning cost under each parameter combination through a multi-dimensional optimization algorithm such as genetic algorithm, simulated annealing algorithm, etc., and adjusts according to the optimization target to ensure the best balance between cleaning efficiency and cost.
[0060] Finally, based on the results of the incremental optimization, an updated targeted cleaning scheme is generated. This scheme includes optimized cleaning fluid concentration, temperature, flow rate, and cycle length, etc. parameters that can maximize cleaning effectiveness without compromising equipment structure. The generated targeted cleaning scheme will be used for subsequent cleaning operations and further adjusted in real time during execution to ensure optimal results each time, thereby extending equipment life and reducing resource waste.
[0061] P50: According to the targeted cleaning scheme, chemical targeted cleaning is performed in micro-circulation mode, and real-time inlet and outlet port sensor information and sanitary dead angle monitoring information are obtained, and the targeted cleaning scheme is adjusted and optimized in a closed loop.
[0062] Further, the embodiment of the present application step P50 also includes:
[0063] P51: Sensor assemblies are arranged at the inlet and outlet ports and the sanitary dead angle of the tube wall, respectively, to obtain real-time inlet and outlet port sensor information and sanitary dead angle monitoring information, and the inlet and outlet port sensor information and sanitary dead angle monitoring information are time-stamped; P52: Based on the inlet and outlet port sensor information and sanitary dead angle monitoring information, periodic cleaning effectiveness evaluation is performed to generate multi-stage evaluation results; P53: For the multi-stage evaluation results, adjacent period cleaning effectiveness comparison is performed to generate a cleaning effectiveness change curve; P54: Based on the cleaning effectiveness change curve, the targeted cleaning scheme is dynamically optimized in real time to generate an updated targeted cleaning scheme, and the updated targeted cleaning scheme is used to perform cleaning work in the next cleaning cycle; P55: By analogy, the targeted cleaning scheme is periodically updated.
[0064] It should be understood that, based on the targeted cleaning scheme, chemical targeted cleaning is performed in micro-circulation mode, and feedback adjustment is performed in combination with real-time monitoring information to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of the cleaning process.
[0065] First, sensor assemblies are arranged at the inlet and outlet ports and the sanitary dead angle of the tube wall, respectively, to collect real-time monitoring data. The inlet and outlet port sensors are used to detect flow rate, temperature, turbidity, and other fluid flow-related parameters, while the sanitary dead angle monitoring assemblies are responsible for monitoring areas that are difficult to access inside the heat exchanger, which are often overlooked in traditional cleaning methods. By placing sensors at these key locations, the system can obtain real-time inlet and outlet port sensor information and sanitary dead angle monitoring information at each location. These information not only includes basic fluid parameters of the cleaning fluid, but also has a time stamp, providing time series data support for subsequent dynamic adjustment.
[0066] Subsequently, based on the real-time collected inlet and outlet sensing information and sanitary dead angle monitoring information, periodic evaluation of cleaning effect is performed, cleaning effect in different time periods is analyzed, cleaning progress and effect of cleaning liquid are evaluated, and a set of multi-stage evaluation results are generated. Through comparison of monitoring data at different time points in the cleaning process, the multi-stage evaluation results can determine in real time whether the cleaning liquid is fully dissolved in the sediment, whether there are dead angle areas that cannot be effectively cleaned, etc.
[0067] Subsequently, adjacent period cleaning effect comparison is performed for the multi-stage evaluation results, and a cleaning effect change curve is generated through the comparison results. The change curve can reflect the cleaning effect change in each stage of the cleaning process. The curve directly shows the dynamic change of the cleaning effect in the cleaning process, which can be used to identify key nodes and potential problems in the cleaning process. For example, if the cleaning effect change curve shows that the cleaning effect of a certain area continues to decline in multiple periods, it may indicate that there are difficult-to-remove sediments or structural problems in the area.
[0068] Based on the cleaning effect change curve, real-time dynamic optimization of the directional cleaning scheme is performed, which means that the system can adjust according to the trend in the change curve, optimize parameters such as concentration, temperature, flow rate and cleaning time of the cleaning liquid. The optimized cleaning scheme will ensure that the cleaning efficiency is improved in the stage of declining cleaning efficiency, or the flow rate and time are adjusted in the cleaning effect plateau period to reduce resource waste. The updated directional cleaning scheme after optimization will be applied to the next cleaning cycle to ensure optimal cleaning effect each time. This dynamic optimization process ensures that the cleaning scheme can be adjusted according to real-time monitoring data, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and effect.
[0069] Finally, periodic update of the directional cleaning scheme is performed, and optimization adjustment is performed according to feedback data in each cleaning process. This continuously circulating optimization mechanism ensures that the cleaning scheme is always in the optimal state and can adapt to changes in the type and amount of sediment inside the heat exchanger, thereby ensuring long-term efficiency of the cleaning process.
[0070] Further, the step P54 of the embodiment of the present application further includes:
[0071] P54-1: Based on the trend slope, hysteresis interval and mutation point characteristics in the cleaning effect change curve, the cleaning effect decline stage and the platform stage are identified; P54-2: In the effect decline stage, the cleaning liquid concentration or flushing flow rate is increased, and in the effect platform stage, the cycle time is reduced, and the updated directional cleaning scheme is generated.
[0072] Specifically, based on the analysis results of the cleaning effect change curve, more detailed dynamic optimization adjustment can be performed to ensure that the cleaning effect in different stages is maximized.
[0073] First, the cleaning effect change curve is analyzed in detail. By analyzing the trend slope in the curve, it can be determined whether the cleaning effect is in the rising stage, the platform stage, or the declining stage. If the slope of the curve is large, it means that the cleaning effect is improving; if the slope tends to be flat, it means that the cleaning effect has reached a stable level; and if the slope of the curve decreases, it means that the cleaning effect is declining, and the dissolution or stripping efficiency of the deposits is declining. In addition to the trend slope, the system also needs to identify the lag interval and the mutation point characteristics. The lag interval reflects the response delay of the cleaning effect, and the mutation point refers to the time when the cleaning effect changes significantly. By considering these characteristics comprehensively, the system can accurately identify different stages in the cleaning process and take appropriate optimization measures for each stage.
[0074] If the cleaning effect is identified to be in the declining stage, the system will increase the cleaning fluid concentration or the flushing flow rate to enhance the dissolution ability and physical impact force of the cleaning fluid, ensuring that the deposits can be completely removed. Increasing the concentration helps to enhance the chemical dissolution ability of the cleaning fluid, while increasing the flow rate can increase the impact force of the liquid, promoting the loosening and removal of the deposits. For example, if the current cleaning fluid concentration is 5%, it can be increased to 8% according to the actual situation. At the same time, the flushing flow rate can also be increased to enhance the scouring effect of the cleaning fluid on the deposits. For example, the flushing flow rate can be increased from 1 meter / second to 1.5 meters / second. These adjustments can help overcome the stubbornness of the deposits and improve cleaning efficiency.
[0075] In the platform stage of the cleaning effect, the cleaning fluid concentration and flow rate have reached a stable level, and further increasing the concentration or flow rate may weaken or even waste cleaning fluid and energy. Therefore, the system will reduce the cycle time to reduce unnecessary cleaning time and save resources and reduce cleaning costs. For example, if the current cycle time is 30 minutes, the system may shorten it to 20 minutes. In this way, the system can reduce unnecessary cleaning time and resource consumption while ensuring cleaning effect.
[0076] Through the above analysis and adjustment based on the cleaning effect change curve, an updated targeted cleaning scheme is generated. This updated scheme will comprehensively consider the optimization and adjustment of cleaning fluid concentration, flushing flow rate, and cycle time, etc. to ensure that the cleaning task can be completed more efficiently and accurately in the next cleaning cycle. This dynamic optimization process not only improves cleaning efficiency, but also adjusts the cleaning strategy in real time according to the actual situation of the heat exchanger and the changes of the deposits, thereby prolonging the service life of the heat exchanger, reducing cleaning costs, and ensuring the efficient operation of the heat exchanger.
[0077] Further, the embodiments of the present application also include the step P60 of monitoring the change trend of the deposit accumulation state in real time. If the change amplitude of the accumulation state is lower than the accumulation threshold, the ultrasonic vibration module is activated. The ultrasonic vibration module resonates and disturbs the inner wall of the structure through multi-frequency collaborative pulse oscillation, and breaks the scale structure in combination with the temperature stage of the current chemical cleaning reaction process.
[0078] Optionally, to further improve the cleaning effect, on the basis of chemical cleaning, the cleaning effect can be enhanced through physical means. When necessary, the ultrasonic vibration module assists the chemical cleaning process.
[0079] During the execution of the cleaning operation, the system continuously monitors the change trend of the deposit accumulation state in real time. This monitoring process is realized through sensors installed at key positions of the heat exchanger, which can detect the changes in the thickness, density and other related parameters of the deposits. When the monitoring result shows that the change amplitude of the deposit accumulation state is lower than the set accumulation threshold, it indicates that the current chemical cleaning method may not be able to effectively remove the deposits, or the structure of the deposits is stubborn and difficult to be removed by chemical cleaning alone.
[0080] At this time, the system will activate the ultrasonic vibration module. The ultrasonic vibration module is a device that generates high-frequency vibration using ultrasonic wave energy, and can resonate and disturb the inner wall of the structure of the heat exchanger through multi-frequency collaborative pulse oscillation. Through resonance, the deposits are physically disturbed. These high-frequency pulse oscillations can effectively break the binding force between the deposits and the pipe wall, especially for stubborn deposits that are difficult to dissolve due to long-term accumulation or chemical cleaning, which can loosen the deposits and assist their peeling and removal.
[0081] The working principle of the ultrasonic vibration module relies on multi-frequency collaborative pulse, which produces stronger vibration effect at the resonance points of different frequencies through the alternating action of oscillation of different frequencies. Oscillation of different frequencies can better adapt to different types of deposits and enhance their removal effect. Through this physical disturbance, the deposits are effectively dispersed with the assistance of the cleaning liquid, avoiding the cleaning dead angle problem that may be caused by single chemical cleaning method.
[0082] In addition, when using ultrasonic vibration, the temperature stage of the current chemical cleaning reaction process can be combined. The effect of ultrasonic vibration will vary with temperature. During the chemical cleaning process, the temperature usually increases gradually with time, and at this time the chemical reaction rate is enhanced, and the disturbance effect of ultrasonic vibration is also enhanced. In combination with the temperature stage, the system adjusts the intensity and frequency of the ultrasonic vibration, so that it is synchronized with the chemical cleaning process, forming a physical and chemical synergistic effect to improve the cleaning efficiency.
[0083] By combining ultrasonic vibration with intelligent control of the temperature stage of the chemical cleaning reaction, the scale layer structure of the deposits can be further broken, especially for deposits that have formed a strong adhesion due to accumulation, which can accelerate their removal on the basis of chemical cleaning, significantly improving cleaning efficiency and thoroughness.
[0084] In summary, step P60 achieves efficient removal of deposits by real-time monitoring of the changing trend of the accumulation state of the deposits and activating the ultrasonic vibration module when necessary, combined with the temperature stage of the chemical cleaning reaction process. This process not only improves the flexibility and adaptability of cleaning, but also further optimizes the cleaning effect, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the heat exchanger.
