Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of heat equipment monitoring, and particularly relates to a boiler wall surface stress monitoring system and method based on reverse heat conduction calculation. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the power generation, chemical industry, petroleum and other industries, boilers and pressure vessels bear high temperature and high pressure load for a long time. The thick-walled components (such as headers, steam drums, pipes, etc.) of the boilers and pressure vessels will generate significant thermal stress when they are rapidly started and stopped or operated under variable load, which may cause fatigue damage, creep failure or even pipe burst. The traditional monitoring methods have the following problems: the quasi-steady state assumption error is large, which cannot accurately reflect the transient thermal stress change and cannot meet the actual needs. The dynamic response of industrial thermometers is poor, which cannot accurately measure the transient temperature of the fluid. The estimation of heat transfer coefficient is not accurate, which leads to the deviation of thermal stress calculation. The existing methods are difficult to apply to complex geometric structures (such as headers with openings). In the aspect of thermal stress calculation, the traditional quasi-steady state assumption error is large, which cannot accurately reflect the transient thermal stress change. At the same time, the estimation of heat transfer coefficient is not accurate, which leads to the deviation of thermal stress calculation. For example, in the detection of boiler economizer leakage in power plants, the traditional method is to stop the boiler and reduce the temperature after the possible leakage is found, then to remove the insulation bricks and to check visually by a person who drills into the boiler. This method not only causes economic loss due to shutdown, but also has high safety risk in high temperature environment. The leakage detection relies on naked eyes, which may miss some leakage. Acoustic detection is more advanced, but it is too sensitive to environmental noise. The background noise is large when the boiler is running, which may interfere with the detection results. When the leakage is too small, the acoustic signal is not obvious, which may not be detected. Infrared detection also has some problems, such as the observation effect is affected by the dust on the flue light window, the internal leakage point may be blocked by the outer pipe, the cost is high, the operation is complex, and professional equipment is needed. For complex geometric structure monitoring, the existing methods are difficult to apply to complex geometric structures such as headers with openings. For example, traditional detection methods are difficult to detect some hidden parts, while industrial endoscopes can detect without damaging the measured surface, but also have limitations. For example, in the common inspection methods of boilers and pressure vessels, visual inspection can only find surface problems and cannot detect hidden defects and faults; ultrasonic detection requires professional equipment and experienced operators, which is costly; magnetic powder detection requires the detected part to be a magnetic material and has high requirements for the surface treatment of the equipment; pressure test requires professional equipment and operators, and the equipment needs to be strictly protected to avoid accidents. In the monitoring of boiler drum water level, the differential pressure type water level meter cannot accurately measure the average density of the water in the single chamber balance container, and there is a difference between the calculation of the water in the drum as saturated water and the actual sub-saturated state, which leads to inevitable errors. The double-color water level meter lacks temperature compensation because the water temperature in the measuring cylinder is different from the saturated water temperature in the drum, which still has water level error after position correction in high pressure environment. The zero water level of the electric contact water level meter is different from the normal water level of the drum, and the water level fluctuation in the electrode type water level meter cannot correspond to it, which is not accurate in monitoring the water level of the super-high pressure, sub-critical boiler drum.

[0003] In the invention patent with publication number CN117195623A, a boiler pipe wall temperature monitoring method and system based on finite element analysis are proposed. This method needs to obtain data such as boiler drum, operating boundary conditions, and steam pressure to establish pipe wall thermal stress model and stress field model, and adopts sequential coupling method for thermal analysis. However, this device mainly focuses on monitoring the combustion process in the furnace and monitoring the slagging condition, and needs a large amount of boundary condition data such as steam pressure, which may be difficult to obtain; it relies on complex finite element model and sequential coupling analysis, the calculation process is time-consuming, and the early warning mechanism only performs corresponding early warning without real-time intervention for boiler operation. For the problems of inaccurate reflection of transient thermal stress changes, poor dynamic response of industrial thermometers, inaccurate estimation of heat transfer coefficient, and adaptability of complex geometric structure for thick-walled components thermal stress monitoring, no targeted solutions are given.

[0004] In the invention patent with publication number CN119914876, a boiler operation data acquisition method is mentioned, but the sensor type, number, and arrangement are not specified, and whether the dynamic response characteristics are considered is also not mentioned. In addition, this method uses adaptive encryption when meshing, but the number of mesh layers is not specified, and the stiffness matrix and fluid coupling matrix need to be iteratively solved in the calculation process. This method has the following problems: the sensor arrangement and data acquisition method are not clear, which may not accurately capture the thermal stress changes; the calculation process is complex and needs to be iteratively solved, which is low in calculation efficiency; and in this scheme, the early warning module sets three risk levels, but the control logic only involves adjusting the operating parameters, and there is no mention of direct linkage control with stress overrun. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides a boiler wall surface stress monitoring system and method based on inverse heat conduction calculation to solve the technical problem that the conventional monitoring method cannot accurately capture the transient thermal stress changes of thick-walled components in the boiler under rapid variable operating conditions, resulting in significant errors in the evaluation of fatigue damage, creep failure, and pipe burst risk.
