Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas turbine filtration technology, and in particular to a gas turbine intake filter backflushing device. Background Technology
[0002] A gas turbine is an internal combustion power machine that uses a continuously flowing gas as a working fluid to drive a high-speed rotating impeller, converting the energy of fuel into useful work. It is a type of rotating impeller thermal engine. The performance and operational reliability of a gas turbine are closely related to the quality and cleanliness of the air entering the unit. As the only line of defense for outside air entering the gas turbine, the gas turbine intake system must be equipped with a good intake system to filter the air entering the unit and remove impurities in order to ensure the high-efficiency operation of the unit.
[0003] Currently, to ensure the cleanliness of the air entering the gas turbine unit, water and dust are filtered from the gas turbine intake air. However, dust causes the air filter cartridge to become clogged, affecting the unit's output efficiency, reducing power generation efficiency, increasing fuel consumption, and making it impossible to control the continuous on / off of high-pressure gas. Cleaning the air filter cartridge is also difficult, as the control system operates in a harsh environment and is prone to frost in winter, making it unable to adapt to complex operating conditions. Furthermore, the dust blown back into the air filter cartridge spreads outside, affecting subsequent filtration. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings by providing a gas turbine air intake filter backflushing device that effectively blows away dust and impurities attached to the outer wall of the air filter cartridge, adapts to the operation of the control system in harsh environments, improves the backflushing cleaning effect, and facilitates the collection of backflushing dust to avoid affecting subsequent filtration.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a gas turbine intake filter backflushing device, comprising: A purification component, which has an air inlet and an exhaust outlet, is used to purify the gas entering the gas turbine. Multiple air filter cartridges are installed inside the purification assembly to filter dust and purify the gas. The backflush pipe is installed on the purification unit and extends into the air filter cartridge; A diaphragm valve, located inside the backflush pipe, is used to control the flow of compressed gas. The backflush solenoid valve is installed inside the backflush pipe and is located in the part of the backflush pipe that extends into the air filter cartridge; The control unit, located on the air filter cartridge, is used to detect the pressure difference inside the air filter cartridge; A control element is mounted on the purification unit and electrically connected to the control unit to display data from the control unit; The control unit is electrically connected to the control element, the control unit is electrically connected to a PLC controller, and the control element is electrically connected to the PLC controller; An alarm switch, located on the backflush pipe, is used to alarm for compressed air pressure. A baffle-controlled solenoid valve is installed on the purification assembly to isolate the clean air outlet of the air filter cartridge from the air compressor inlet pipe. The dust collection unit is located inside the purification assembly and outside the air filter cartridge, and is used to collect the dust blown back by the air filter cartridge.
[0006] Furthermore, the control unit is electrically connected to a control element, which includes a control box and a display screen mounted on the control box.
[0007] Furthermore, the control unit includes a pressure gauge installed inside the control box, and the detection part of the pressure gauge extends into the air filter cartridge to detect the air pressure inside the air filter cartridge.
[0008] Furthermore, the control unit includes an intake filter differential pressure transmitter installed in the purification assembly and the air filter cartridge to detect the differential pressure between the air filter cartridge and the purification assembly.
[0009] Furthermore, the control unit also includes an intake air filter differential pressure switch installed in the purification component and the air filter cartridge. The intake air filter differential pressure switch is electrically connected to the control box and the display screen. The intake air filter differential pressure switch is used to detect the differential pressure between the air filter cartridge and the purification component.
[0010] Furthermore, the control unit also includes an intake air filter differential pressure switch installed in the purification component and the air filter cartridge. The intake air filter differential pressure switch is electrically connected to the control box and the display screen. The intake air filter differential pressure switch is used to detect the differential pressure between the air filter cartridge and the purification component.
[0011] Furthermore, the control unit also includes a humidity sensor installed in the control box, the display screen is used to display the data displayed by the humidity sensor, and the detection end of the humidity sensor extends into the air filter cartridge.
[0012] Furthermore, the control unit also includes a timer installed inside the control box, and the timer is electrically connected to the display screen.
[0013] Furthermore, the control unit also includes an intake air filter differential pressure transmitter installed in the purification component and the air filter cartridge. The intake air filter differential pressure transmitter is electrically connected to the control box and the display screen. The intake air filter differential pressure transmitter is used to detect the differential pressure between the air filter cartridge and the purification component. It also includes an intake filter differential pressure transmitter installed in the purification assembly and the air filter cartridge to detect the differential pressure between the air filter cartridge and the purification assembly.
[0014] Furthermore, the dust removal unit includes a suction cup disposed around the inner wall of the purification component and located outside the air filter cartridge, and a conduit disposed on the suction cup and extending to the outside of the purification component. It also includes a water tank at the end of the conduit, an electrically controlled valve in the middle of the conduit, a pump body in the middle of the conduit, and the pump body and the electrically controlled valve are electrically connected to a PLC controller.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are reflected in: This invention involves filtering external air through an air filter cartridge within a purification assembly. When dust and moisture accumulate on the air filter cartridge, the control unit and control elements detect the differential pressure and humidity on the cartridge. The differential pressure is displayed on a screen and controlled by a PLC controller. This control activates the backflush solenoid valve on the backflush pipe and the diaphragm valve, allowing high-pressure gas from inside the backflush pipe to clean the air filter cartridge. The backflush solenoid valve switches the airflow direction, reversing the main airflow through the air filter cartridge. The air filter cartridge collapses and shakes off dust, and the backflush solenoid valve is unaffected by low temperature environments. Then, the PLC controller simultaneously controls the backflush solenoid valve to backflush the dust on the air filter cartridge and starts the pump body and the solenoid valve to collect the dust in the water tank. The pump body and the solenoid valve open synchronously to extract the dust from the suction cup, preventing the dust from not being discharged and preventing it from affecting the subsequent filtration of the air filter cartridge. The backflush solenoid valve improves the efficiency of backflushing the air filter cartridge, achieving the effect of blowing off the dust and impurities attached to the outer wall of the air filter cartridge, adapting the control system to operate in harsh environments, and facilitating the collection of backflush dust to avoid affecting subsequent filtration.
