Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of preheater testing technology, and in particular to a device for testing the heat exchange performance of a rotary air preheater and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Rotary air preheaters are key equipment in boiler systems of thermal power plants for recovering waste heat from flue gas and improving combustion efficiency. They utilize a rotor to drive heat storage elements that alternately contact high-temperature flue gas and low-temperature air, achieving heat transfer from flue gas to air. This significantly reduces exhaust gas temperature and increases supply air temperature, thereby reducing fuel consumption. To ensure stable heat exchange performance, core indicators such as air leakage rate and heat transfer efficiency must be monitored during operation. Current technologies often employ oxygen content analysis or flow difference methods for air leakage detection, while temperature detection typically uses fixed sensors to collect the overall temperature of the flue gas or air, combined with heat transfer formulas to assess heat exchange efficiency. These methods, through the integration of data acquisition, processing, and analysis modules, form a relatively mature detection system, which is widely used in the performance monitoring of small and medium-sized rotary air preheaters.

[0003] However, when dealing with large-diameter rotary air preheaters, such as those arranged in a single row at 21.9m, existing detection technologies struggle to cover the entire circumference of high-leakage areas like axial seals due to the fixed arrangement of temperature sensors. This can easily lead to misjudgments because some leaks are missed. Furthermore, the impact of leaks on the local temperature field exhibits significant spatial variability, and existing methods often rely on overall parameters, making it difficult to accurately locate leak areas and analyze their causes. In addition, traditional detection methods do not consider the impact of flue gas velocity changes on leakage characteristics. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the existing technology cannot verify the correlation between air leakage and pressure difference through operating condition adjustment. To this end, we propose a rotary air preheater heat exchange performance testing device and its usage method.

A dual verification logic of initial detection and rotational re-checking, combined with quantitative judgment of the proportion of abnormal sensors and regional overlap, effectively reduces the risk of misjudgment caused by single sensor failure or environmental interference, ensuring the reliability of leakage detection.

Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative examples of the technical solution of this invention and should not be considered as the entirety of the invention or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this invention.

[0040] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a device for testing the heat exchange performance of a rotary air preheater, including a preheater shell 1, a temperature detection module on the preheater shell 1, the temperature detection module including temperature sensors 6 arranged in a ring along the axial sealing downstream region of the rotary air preheater, the number of temperature sensors 6 arranged in the ring in the temperature detection module is 16, and the circumferential included angle between adjacent temperature sensors 6 is equal; each temperature sensor 6 is covered with a high temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant protective sleeve, the protective sleeve is made of ceramic, the probe end of the temperature sensor 6 extends out of the sleeve to directly contact the flue gas flow, and is used to collect local temperature data on the flue gas side; the temperature detection module is connected to a sensor rotation module, which is used to drive the ring-arranged temperature sensors to rotate around the central axis of the preheater; the central axis of the preheater set inside the preheater shell 1 divides the internal space into a flue gas side 3 and an air side 5, so that each temperature sensor alternately contacts the flue gas side 3 and the air side 5;

[0041] It achieves full circumferential coverage of the downstream area of ​​the axial seal without dead angles, solving the problem of missed detection of local air leakage points due to the limited monitoring range of traditional fixed sensors; the ceramic protective sleeve is resistant to high temperature and corrosion, and the probe end directly contacts the flue gas, avoiding the sleeve's obstruction of temperature conduction and ensuring the authenticity of the collected data; the temperature sensor's 6-rotation design allows one corner to alternately contact the flue gas side and the air side, and the low-temperature airflow on the air side can quickly remove the sensor's residual heat, eliminating measurement drift caused by continuous high temperature, solving the problem of accuracy decay of traditional sensors under long-term high temperature environment, and significantly improving the stability and repeatability of temperature detection.

[0042] The sensor rotation module is electrically connected to the positioning module. The rotation angle fed back by the positioning module in real time ensures that the temperature sensor 6 completes the switch from the flue gas side 3 to the air side 5 exactly every time it rotates 180°. The positioning module includes 8 positioning marks evenly arranged along the rotation path and photoelectric sensors that work with them. It is used to control the detection accuracy of the rotation angle within ±1° and to obtain the rotation angle and current location of the temperature sensor 6 in real time. The interior of the preheater shell 1 is provided with flue gas inlet 2 and flue gas side 3, as well as air inlet 4 and air side 5. The inlet pipe of flue gas inlet 2 is provided with a flue gas flow rate adjustment module to adjust the flue gas flow rate entering the preheater to a preset value. The inlet pipe of flue gas inlet 2 is provided with a flow rate detection module to detect and feed back the current flue gas flow rate in real time.

[0043] The temperature detection module, positioning module, and flow rate detection module are electrically connected to a data processing module, which receives temperature data, sensor position data, and flow rate data, and generates a temperature change chart. The data processing module is also electrically connected to a leakage detection module, which determines the leakage status based on the temperature and flow rate data. The leakage detection module's leakage cause analysis logic includes: if the abnormal temperature amplitude at high flow rate is lower than the normal flow rate, and the abnormal temperature amplitude at low flow rate is higher than the normal flow rate, then the leakage is determined to be mainly caused by excessive sealing gap. The module identifies temperature anomalies in a single set of temperature sensors 6 through initial detection, confirms the anomaly by rotating temperature sensor 6 to determine leakage, and analyzes the cause of leakage by combining the temperature change differences at high and low flow rates.

[0044] The data processing module integrates multi-dimensional data and generates visual charts to intuitively present the correlation between temperature distribution and leakage areas, solving the problems of scattered traditional detection data and difficulty in quickly locating leakage locations. Through dual verification of the proportion of abnormal sensors (e.g., ≥60%) and regional overlap (e.g., ≥70%), the risk of misjudgment caused by a single set of temperature sensors or local dust accumulation is significantly reduced, improving the reliability of leakage judgment. Secondly, the introduction of temperature anomaly comparison under high and low flow rates accurately distinguishes between two causes of leakage: excessive sealing gap and seal damage. This solves the limitation of traditional detection that can only determine the existence of leakage but cannot clarify the cause, providing a direct basis for targeted optimization of the sealing system and significantly improving the guiding value of the detection results for engineering practice.

[0045] A method for using a rotary air preheater heat exchange performance testing device includes the following steps:

[0046] S1: Initialize and start the temperature detection module. The ring-shaped temperature sensor 6 is driven by the sensor rotation drive module to rotate around the central axis of the preheater at a preset speed. The positioning module records the sensor position synchronously. The data processing module establishes the reference temperature distribution curve under normal operating conditions through Formula 1.

[0047] Formula 1: ,in Circumferential angle The reference temperature at that location This refers to the number of sensor rotation cycles collected continuously. A single rotation cycle is defined as the time it takes for the temperature sensor to complete one full rotation around the central axis of the preheater. Based on the preheater design flue gas temperature fluctuation range, historical normal operating temperature deviation data, and temperature thresholds set according to relevant industry testing standards, only when the first... Any circular angle within a period Temperature readings at the location satisfy Only then can the periodic data be included in the calculation range of the reference temperature distribution curve to eliminate the influence of abnormal data such as instantaneous airflow fluctuations and occasional sensor interference on the stability of the reference curve; the complete formula for calculating the reference temperature distribution curve is as follows:

[0048] ,in Circumferential angle The reference temperature at that location , For the first circumferential angle within one effective rotation cycle Temperature readings at the location.

[0049] S2: Initial test, temperature sensor 6 is used to collect the flue gas temperature in the downstream area of ​​the axial seal. When Formula 2 is met, it is judged as a suspected air leak. The judgment condition for suspected air leak is that the temperature detected by any temperature sensor 6 is lower than the benchmark threshold for three consecutive sampling cycles.

[0050] Formula 2: ,in, The preset temperature anomaly threshold, For the detection time;

[0051] S3: Recheck and confirm. Driven by the sensor rotation drive module, the temperature sensor 6 rotates one revolution. The positioning module synchronously records the detection area of ​​each sensor. The air leakage judgment module uses formula three to calculate the proportion of abnormal temperature sensors 6.

[0052] Formula 3: ,in This represents the number of sensors exhibiting abnormal temperatures. For the total number of sensors, if Furthermore, the overlap of abnormal regions detected by the two rotations is high. This confirms the presence of an air leak. This is the preset minimum abnormality percentage threshold. The preset minimum overlap threshold, This is the ratio of the number of overlapping regions to the total number of anomalous regions. .

[0053] S4: High and low flow rate verification:

[0054] During the high-flow-rate stage, the flue gas velocity is adjusted to [a certain value] via the flue gas velocity regulation module. The flow rate detection module confirmed. Then, the temperature sensor 6 is driven to rotate one more revolution, collecting and recording temperature data at high flow rates. ,in It is a high flow rate multiple factor.

And the high flow rate is stable for a long time. ,in The preset minimum settling time, , , ;

[0056] Air leakage strength passed Grading: When There was a slight air leak at the time. At that time, the air leakage was moderate. It was severely leaking air at the time. and The preset grading threshold, and ;

[0057] S5: Result Judgment. The air leakage judgment module analyzes and compares air leakage characteristics, using the following formula:

[0058] Locating the area of ​​air leakage: ;

[0059] Quantification of air leakage intensity: ;

[0060] Analysis of the causes of air leakage, through comparison and , and The differences, among which This represents the average temperature drop at high flow rates. The average temperature drop at low speed is output as the heat transfer performance test result.

[0061] Working Principle: During initialization, after the temperature detection module is activated, the ring-shaped temperature sensors 6, driven by the sensor rotation drive module, begin to rotate around the preheater's central axis at a preset speed. This speed is consistent with the preheater rotor speed, ensuring that the sensors can synchronously monitor temperature changes during rotor rotation. Simultaneously, the positioning module records the rotation angle and location (flue gas side 3 or air side 5) of each temperature sensor 6 in real time. The data processing module collects temperature data from multiple consecutive rotation cycles and integrates this data to generate a baseline temperature distribution curve under normal operating conditions. This step solves the problem of the baseline temperature being easily affected by instantaneous fluctuations in traditional detection. The averaging of multi-cycle data makes the baseline curve more stable, providing a precise reference for subsequent anomaly detection and effectively improving the initial accuracy of the detection.

[0062] Next, an initial test is performed. Temperature sensor 6 continuously collects the flue gas temperature in the downstream area of ​​the axial seal during rotation. When the temperature detected by any temperature sensor 6 is lower than the benchmark threshold for three consecutive sampling cycles, the system determines it as a suspected air leak. This step, by limiting the continuous sampling cycle, avoids misjudging air leaks due to instantaneous temperature fluctuations, solves the problem of insufficient reliability of single instantaneous data, and improves the accuracy of suspected air leak judgment.

[0063] Secondly, the sensor rotation drive module drives temperature sensor 6 to rotate one full revolution, while the positioning module simultaneously records the detection area of ​​each sensor. The air leakage judgment module counts the number of temperature sensors 6 with abnormal temperatures during the rotation and calculates the percentage of abnormal sensors. When the percentage of abnormal sensors reaches a preset minimum abnormal percentage threshold, and the overlap of the abnormal areas detected by two rotations reaches a preset minimum overlap threshold, air leakage is confirmed. This step, through full-circumference rotation detection and dual threshold judgment, solves the problem of misjudgment caused by single sensor failure or local interference, significantly improving the reliability of air leakage judgment.

[0064] During the high-flow-rate phase, the flue gas velocity is adjusted to a high multiple of the normal flow rate by the flue gas velocity adjustment module. After the flow rate detection module confirms that the flow rate is stable within the allowable fluctuation range and remains stable for a preset minimum time, the temperature sensor 6 is driven to rotate one more revolution to collect and record the temperature data under the high flow rate. During the low-flow-rate phase, the flue gas velocity is similarly adjusted to a low multiple of the normal flow rate. After confirming that the flow rate meets the standard, the temperature sensor 6 is driven to rotate one more revolution to collect the temperature data under the low flow rate. This step creates different operating conditions by changing the flue gas velocity, solving the problem that traditional detection methods cannot analyze leakage characteristics through changes in operating conditions, and providing crucial data for subsequent leakage cause determination.

[0065] In the result judgment, the leakage detection module combines temperature data under normal, high, and low flow rates to locate the leakage area. It quantifies the leakage intensity by calculating the average temperature drop in the abnormal area and analyzes the cause of the leakage (such as excessive sealing gaps or damaged seals) based on the difference between the average temperature drop at high and low flow rates and that at normal flow rate. Finally, it outputs the heat exchange performance test results. This step transforms leakage judgment from qualitative to quantitative analysis, overcoming the limitations of traditional detection methods that cannot clearly identify the specific situation and cause of leakage. It provides accurate evidence for targeted optimization of the preheater sealing system, significantly enhancing the guiding role of detection in equipment maintenance and heat exchange efficiency improvement.

[0066] The technical scope of this invention is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this invention, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this invention.
