Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a corrosion test device and the technical field of low-temperature dew-point flow corrosion, in particular to a low-temperature dew-point flow corrosion test device and method for a flue gas heat exchanger. Background Art
[0002] Flue gas heat exchangers are widely used in industrial production to recover waste heat from flue gas. They are widely used in the fields of electricity, chemical industry, metallurgy, etc. However, during operation in the low-temperature section, acidic gases (such as SO2, SO3) in the flue gas combine with water vapor to form sulfuric acid or sulfurous acid. When the flue gas temperature is lower than the dew point temperature, the acidic liquid condenses on the surface of the heat exchanger, causing serious dew point corrosion problems. In addition, the high-speed flow of flue gas will aggravate corrosion and destroy the protective film on the metal surface, resulting in a significant shortening of equipment life and a decrease in operating efficiency. In the existing technology, the corrosion problem has been alleviated to a certain extent by adopting corrosion-resistant materials (such as stainless steel, nickel-based alloys), surface coatings (such as ceramic coatings, polymer coatings), and optimizing the structure of the heat exchanger. However, the existing flow corrosion experimental equipment does not include an actual flue gas heat exchanger test section. Summary of the Invention

[0036] The gas distribution system includes four first pressure reducing valves 1, four first ball valves 2, four second pressure reducing valves 3, four mass flow controllers 4, four one-way valves 5, an atomizing heating chamber 17, a heating element 18, a container tank 20, a two-fluid atomizing nozzle 21, a preheating chamber 22, a mixing chamber 23, four high-pressure gas cylinders 24 and a third ball valve 26. The first, second, third and fourth high-pressure gas cylinders 24 are respectively filled with the first gas, the second gas, the third gas and the fourth gas. Specifically, the first gas, the second gas, the third gas and the fourth gas container tank 20 are respectively filled with sulfuric acid. The outlet of each high-pressure gas cylinder 24 is connected in sequence to the first, second, third and fourth branches where the respective first pressure reducing valve 1, the first ball valve 2, the second pressure reducing valve 3, the mass flow controller 4 and the one-way valve 5 are located. The two-fluid atomizing nozzle 21 is atomized and heated. A two-fluid atomizing nozzle 21 is installed at the inlet of the atomizing heating chamber 17.

The atomizing heating chamber 17 is made of carbon steel Q235B with an enameled inner wall for corrosion resistance.
[0037] The gas distribution system uses high-pressure gas cylinders 24 to supply actual flue gas components including sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor, and sulfur trioxide. When the temperature falls below a preset threshold, sulfur trioxide exists as sulfuric acid vapor and is blown into the single-tube flue gas heat exchanger from the atomizing and heating chamber 17. The experiment of the present invention prepares a mixed gas based on the actual range of flue gas components, and uses a mass flow controller 4 to control and meter the flow rates of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. Dilute sulfuric acid is atomized through a two-fluid atomizing nozzle 21, and the flow rates of dilute sulfuric acid, water vapor, and sulfuric acid vapor are controlled and metered using a nitrogen bypass ball valve 2 and a rotor flowmeter 19. The concentration of dilute sulfuric acid is determined and adjusted based on the ratio of water vapor to sulfur trioxide in the flue gas.
[0038] The circulating water system includes a circulating pump 6, a constant temperature circulating water tank 7 and a second ball valve 25. The outlet of the square cross-section water pipe 12 is connected to the circulating pump 6 and the water inlet of the constant temperature circulating water tank 7 in sequence, and the outlet of the constant temperature circulating water tank 7 is connected to the water inlet of the square cross-section water pipe 12 in sequence; the flow meter 9 is located between the second ball valve 25 and the water inlet of the square cross-section water pipe 12. The water in the constant temperature circulating water tank 7 in the circulating water system is controlled by the second ball valve 25 and the flow meter 9, passes through the square cross-section water pipe 12 through the single-tube flue gas heat exchanger, exchanges heat with the flue gas, and then returns to the constant temperature circulating water tank 7 through the circulating pump 6. During the experiment, the water temperature of the constant temperature circulating water tank 7 of the circulating water system was between 30℃ and 50℃, and the water flow rate flowing into the square cross-section water pipe 12 was about 0.5m 3 / h-5m 3 / h, with a flow rate of 0.5m / s-2m / s. Water in the constant-temperature circulating water tank 7 flows in through ball valve 2 and is further controlled by flowmeter 9 to enter square-section water pipe 12. After heat exchange, the water returns to the constant-temperature circulating water tank 7 through circulation pump 6. The outlet temperature of square-section water pipe 12 is between 40°C and 70°C.
[0039] The exhaust gas treatment system includes a chimney 13 and an exhaust gas purification tank 14. The air outlet of the single-tube heat exchanger cavity 11 is connected to the air inlet of the exhaust gas purification tank 14, and the air outlet of the exhaust gas purification tank 14 is connected to the outside atmosphere through the chimney 13.

The outlet flue gas temperature is reduced to 30°C-80°C, and the purified harmless gas is discharged into the atmosphere through the chimney 13.
[0040] This study aims to better simulate the actual flue gas environment by designing and constructing a flow corrosion experimental apparatus for a single-tube flue gas heat exchanger based on the actual main components and temperature conditions of flue gas. This experimental apparatus combines scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to scan the micromorphology of the corrosion specimens, energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) analysis of the material's micro-region composition and elemental analysis, and specimen weighing to investigate the low-temperature dew-point corrosion mechanism and corrosion rate model under flue gas flow conditions. Actual flue gas' main components include sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor, and sulfur trioxide. At low temperatures, sulfur trioxide exists as sulfuric acid vapor. The gas distribution system configures the mixed gas according to the actual flue gas component range, with the volume fraction of H2SO4 being 0.001%-0.005%, the volume fraction of H2O being 5%-10%, the volume fraction of SO2 being 0.05%-0.1%, the volume fraction of O2 being 5%-10%, the volume fraction of CO2 being 10%-15%, the volume fraction of SO3 being 0.0001%-0.005%, and the remainder being the volume fraction of nitrogen gas; sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and nitrogen are all controlled by a primary pressure reducing valve 1 to control the pressure of the gas flowing out of the gas tank, and then the gas circulation is controlled by a ball valve 2, and the gas pressure is further controlled by a secondary pressure reducing valve 3, the flow of sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and nitrogen is controlled and metered by a mass flow controller 4, and the gas circulation is controlled by a one-way valve 5.
[0041] Carbon dioxide, oxygen, and nitrogen flow into mixing chamber 23, where they are evenly mixed before flowing into preheating chamber 22 for preheating and then into atomizing and heating chamber 17. Sulfur dioxide flows directly into atomizing and heating chamber 17. Dilute sulfuric acid in sulfuric acid container tank 20 is atomized by a two-fluid atomizing nozzle 21 and then sprayed into atomizing and heating chamber 17. The flow rates of dilute sulfuric acid, water vapor, and sulfuric acid vapor are regulated and measured using ball valve 2 and rotor flowmeter 19 in the nitrogen branch. The dilute sulfuric acid flow rate ranges from 0.1 L / h to 1 L / h. The appropriate dilute sulfuric acid concentration in sulfuric acid container tank 20 is determined and adjusted based on the ratio of water vapor to sulfur trioxide in the flue gas, approximately 5% to 3%.
[0042] The mixed gas flows into the atomizing heating chamber 17, and the temperature of the mixed gas is controlled by the heater and power controller 18. Then, the mixed gas flows into the flue gas inlet of the single-tube heat exchanger cavity 11. The inlet flue gas flow rate is 1m / s-5m / s, the inlet flue gas flow rate is 35L / min-175L / min, and the inlet flue gas temperature is 80℃-160℃. The outlet flue gas temperature after heat exchange is 30℃-80℃.
[0043] The key experimental steps of the low-temperature dew point flow corrosion test method for flue gas heat exchangers of the present invention are as follows:
[0044] Before the experiment, dilute sulfuric acid of a preset concentration must be prepared and placed in the container tank 20. At the same time, the data acquisition system must be installed and debugged.
[0045] Step 1: After numbering the different test pieces 10 , perform morphology scanning using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and weigh them to obtain their initial morphology and initial weight.
[0046] Step 2: Start the circulation pump 6 . When the constant temperature circulation water tank 7 reaches the preset first temperature, install each test piece 10 in the single-tube flue gas heat exchanger test system and arrange respective corrosion-resistant thermocouples 16 .
[0047] Step 3: Open each high-pressure gas cylinder 24 and adjust the flow on the four branches to their respective preset first flow rates through each mass flow controller 4. The preset first flow rates on each branch can be the same or different.
[0048] Step 4: Open the preheating chamber 22 and the atomizing heating chamber 17 and adjust the power of the power controller of the heating element 18 to heat the preheating chamber 22 and the atomizing heating chamber 17 until the inlet temperature of the single-tube heat exchanger cavity 11 reaches the preset second temperature; adjust the flow rate of the dilute sulfuric acid in the container tank 20 entering the two-fluid atomizing nozzle 21 to the preset second flow rate through the third ball valve 26 and the rotor flowmeter 19.
[0049] Step 5: Continue to operate the corrosion test device for more than a preset time period, specifically more than 5 hours; then turn off the heating element 18 and each high-pressure gas cylinder 24 until each test piece 10 cools down to room temperature, specifically below 40°C, and turn off the circulation pump 6.
[0050] Step six: Take out each specimen 10 and clean and dry it, then perform morphology scanning with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and weigh it to obtain the corrosion morphology and corrosion weight respectively. Based on the initial morphology and corrosion morphology, use an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) to perform energy spectrum analysis to obtain the morphology change results of each specimen 10 before and after corrosion; based on the initial weight and corrosion weight, obtain the weight change results of each specimen 10 before and after corrosion; based on the morphology change results and the weight change results, use a multivariate nonlinear fitting method to obtain the corrosion rate of each specimen 10, and realize the low-temperature dew point flow corrosion experiment of the specimen 10, where the low temperature is specifically below 160°C.
[0051] According to the above process, all planned working condition experiments were completed, and a data set consisting of images and numerical values of the experimental control parameters, temperature, mass change rate, micromorphology, material composition and content of each numbered specimen 10 was obtained. The heat exchanger flow-heat transfer-mass transfer multi-field coupling calculation model and method constructed by the above research plan were used to carry out experimental working condition modeling and numerical simulation. The measurement data such as the inlet and outlet flue gas temperature and pressure of the single-tube heat exchanger cavity 11, the inlet and outlet temperature and pressure of the square cross-section water pipe 12, and the temperature of the specimen 10 can be used as a basis for verifying the accuracy of the model and numerical method. On this basis, the local component concentration, wall shear stress and its average value of each numbered specimen 10 were obtained, and combined with the above experimental data set to form a complete data set for corrosion mechanism analysis and corrosion rate model construction. Among them, the corrosion rate model intends to obtain the optimal expression through the multivariate function nonlinear fitting method, as follows:
