Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of boiler equipment failure prediction, and in particular to a method for predicting wear of four-tube walls of a boiler based on a big data algorithm. Background Art
[0002] As the capacity of large thermal power generation units' boilers continues to increase, the thermal loads and mechanical stresses borne by their key components—the four-tube system (i.e., water-wall tubes, superheater tubes, economizer tubes, and reheater tubes)—have also increased significantly. These tubes are constantly exposed to extreme conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, flue gas corrosion, and erosion, making them highly susceptible to failures such as wear, creep, and corrosion, becoming a major risk for boiler tube bursts.
[0003] Existing technologies for boiler four-tube failure prediction and early warning still face several key difficulties. First, traditional methods often rely on manual inspections and periodic ultrasonic thickness measurements, which cannot achieve real-time online monitoring of complex structural systems. Second, even with a certain sensor deployment capability, the distribution of measurement points is often discontinuous, resulting in spatial data loss for key variables such as temperature, affecting the integrity of subsequent analysis. Third, existing prediction models are mostly based on a single factor, failing to effectively integrate thermal models and historical data, and lack a comprehensive assessment mechanism for the coupled relationships between multiple failure modes (such as overheating, wear, and corrosion). Summary of the Invention
[0004] Based on the above objectives, the present invention provides a boiler four-tube wall wear prediction method based on big data algorithm.
