Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of fluid measurement, and particularly relates to a flue gas flow rate measurement system and method based on asymmetric arrangement of three-dimensional pitot tubes. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of industrial production and environmental protection monitoring, accurate measurement of flue gas flow rate is a key link for evaluating combustion efficiency and controlling pollutant emissions.

[0003] In traditional flue gas flow rate measurement technology, pitot tubes are widely used due to their simple structure and low cost, but their measurement accuracy and flow field adaptability have obvious limitations. Symmetrically arranged pitot tube arrays are prone to incomplete capture of flow field information due to insufficient uniformity of measurement point distribution, especially when there is a large difference in flow rate between the center of the pipe and the wall area, making it difficult to truly reflect the overall flow field characteristics, and the measurement error is often large.

[0004] Secondly, axial arrangement in the same plane cannot effectively capture the axial non-uniform characteristics such as backflow and vortex in the flow field, and has weak recognition ability for counterflow components, making it difficult to meet the demand for high-precision monitoring.

[0005] On the other hand, existing pitot tubes rely on a single pressure signal to calculate flow rate, without considering the influence of dynamic changes in flue gas temperature, density and other parameters on the measurement results, resulting in further decline in accuracy under complex conditions such as high temperature and dust. In addition, traditional data processing methods can only achieve simple calculation of real-time flow rate, and lack the ability to identify and predict abnormal flow patterns such as vortex and backflow in complex flow fields, making it difficult to meet the demand for dynamic monitoring and early regulation of flue gas flow field in modern industry. SUMMARY

[0048] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] The flue gas velocity measurement system based on a three-dimensional pitot tube asymmetric arrangement provided by the present invention includes a measuring device, a control device, a flue gas density measuring device, and a data processing device.

[0051] The measuring device consists of multiple sets of three-dimensional Pitot tubes. The Pitot tube probes are arranged in an asymmetrical staggered manner in the flue and have differences in their front and rear positions in space, which are used to collect raw flow velocity data.

[0052] The control device is used to control the measurement timing of each pitot tube probe measurement circuit and the on / off state of the flue gas extraction circuit in the measuring device, thereby controlling the synchronization or periodicity of data acquisition. Simultaneously, it receives instructions from the data processing device to achieve real-time adjustment of the measurement frequency.

[0053] The flue gas density measuring device is used to acquire real-time temperature data of flue gas and calculate flue gas density, which is then fed back to the data processing device to provide temperature and density correction parameters for the flow rate calculation module in the data processing device.

[0054] The data processing unit receives and stores raw flow velocity data and flue gas density data from the measuring device and the flue gas density measuring device. Then, it integrates all the data, performs flow velocity calculation, weighted averaging, flow field modeling and prediction, and feeds back control commands to the control device to achieve adaptive measurement cycle adjustment.

[0055] In this embodiment, the measuring device divides the probes of the three-dimensional Pitot tube into a central group, a transition group, and a wall group along the radial direction of the flue. With the flue axis as the center, the Pitot tube probes of each group are arranged around the central axis of the flue, with the probes of the central group being relatively forward in the axial direction, followed by the probes of the transition group, and the probes of the wall group being the last. Depending on the accuracy requirements of the measurement, the number of Pitot tube probes in each group is 3-6.

[0056] In this embodiment, based on the measurement accuracy requirements, the circumferential spacing angles of the three-dimensional Pitot tube probes in the central layer, transition layer, and wall layer are between 30° and 120°, and the probes of adjacent layers do not overlap in the circumferential projection, forming an interlaced measurement grid. In the radial direction, the distance between the central layer probe and the central axis of the pipe is 1 / 4 of the pipe radius, the transition layer is 2 / 4 of the pipe radius, and the wall layer is 3 / 4 of the pipe radius, ensuring coverage of different flow velocity gradient regions. In the axial direction, the probes of different layers are set with a front-to-back difference of 10-30cm, with the front probe biased towards the incoming flow direction and the rear probe biased towards the mainstream direction by 5-10°, which can simultaneously capture downstream and downstream components.

[0057] In this embodiment, the spacing and angle of the probes at different positions in each direction are adjusted according to the length and diameter of the pipe. The adjustment of each probe satisfies the following: the measurement coverage areas of any two probes in the flow field do not overlap and there are no obvious blind spots, and the coverage area is not less than 85% of the cross-sectional area of ​​the pipe.

[0058] In this embodiment, for rectangular pipes, based on the characteristics of their cross-sectional shape, the probes in each layer are arranged in a rectangular pattern on the cross-section, with a minimum of 4 probes per layer, located at the four corners of the rectangular cross-section; when the difference between the length and width of the pipe is large, the number of probes can be increased in the length or width direction to form a denser array of measurement points.

[0059] In this embodiment, the probe of the three-dimensional Pitot tube is equipped with a flue gas extraction port and a temperature sensor, and is connected to a flue gas density measuring device. It can periodically collect temperature and flue gas density data at the location of the probe and transmit them to a data processing device for fluid density correction.

[0060] In this embodiment, one end of the flue gas density measuring device is connected to the flue gas extraction port on each Pitot tube probe through a corrosion-resistant extraction pipeline, and the other end is connected to the data processing device; each probe has an independent solenoid valve on the pipeline between the flue gas extraction port and the flue gas density measuring device, and the solenoid valve is connected to the control unit. The control unit sends on / off commands according to preset or input commands to realize the on / off of the corresponding circuit of each probe.

[0061] In this embodiment, the control device consists of a solenoid valve group, a pressure transmitter, and a controller. The solenoid valve group includes solenoid directional valves that correspond one-to-one with each three-dimensional Pitot tube probe. The input end of each solenoid directional valve is connected to the total pressure port and static pressure port of the corresponding probe through a pressure-resistant hose, and the output end is connected to each pressure transmitter. The pressure transmitter adopts a high-precision differential pressure structure.

[0062] In this embodiment, the data processing device includes a data receiving module, a data storage module, a data processing module, and a result output module. The data receiving module receives raw flow velocity data collected by the measuring device and flue gas density data transmitted by the flue gas density measuring device. The data storage module stores the collected raw data and the processed data. The data processing module has a built-in data analysis model based on neural network algorithms and machine learning algorithms to process the collected data. The result output module outputs the calculated average flow velocity, flow velocity distribution, and flow field characteristics in a graphical interface.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] See Figure 1 The flue gas velocity measurement system based on a three-dimensional pitot tube asymmetric arrangement provided by the present invention includes a pitot tube probe 1, a temperature sensor 2, a flue gas extraction port 3, a control device 4, a solenoid valve 5, a flue gas density measuring device 6, a flue gas duct 7, and a data processing device 8.

[0065] The following uses a circular pipe as an example to describe in detail the specific implementation of the present invention:

[0066] This system consists of a measuring device, a control device 4, a flue gas density measuring device 6, and a data processing device 8. Each part is connected to a signal line through pipelines to form a closed-loop measuring system.

[0067] The core of the measuring device consists of multiple sets of three-dimensional Pitot tube probes 1, with a temperature sensor 2 and a flue gas extraction port 3 installed on the upper part of the probes. The control device 4 includes a solenoid valve group, a pressure transmitter, and a controller. The input end of the solenoid valve group 5 is connected to the total pressure port and static pressure port of the Pitot tube probe 1 through a pressure-resistant hose, and the output end is connected to the pressure transmitter. The flue gas density measuring device 6 is connected to the flue gas extraction port 3 of the Pitot tube probe 1 through a corrosion-resistant extraction pipeline. The independent solenoid valve 5 on the pipeline is driven by the controller of the control device 4. The data processing device 8 is connected to the control device 4, the flue gas density measuring device 6, and the temperature sensor 2 through signal cables to realize data reception and processing.

[0068] Pitot tube probe 1 is divided into a central group, a transition group, and a wall group along the radial direction of the flue. The distance between the central group probe and the central axis of the pipe is 1 / 4 of the pipe radius, the distance between the transition group probe and the central axis is 2 / 4 of the radius, and the distance between the wall group probe and the central axis is 3 / 4 of the radius. According to the measurement accuracy requirements, n probes (3≤n≤6) are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction for each layer of probes, and n increases with the increase of measurement accuracy. In the axial direction, the probes of different layers are set with a front-to-back difference of 10-30cm.

[0069] All Pitot tube probes 1 were calibrated in a standard wind tunnel according to the "Technical Specification for Continuous Monitoring of Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Flue Gas in Thermal Power Plants," and the calibration parameters were recorded. Specifically, the theoretical basis for the calibration process is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, in a spherical coordinate system (r, angular coordinates), the pressure distribution of a three-dimensional incompressible fluid flowing over the surface of a spherical probe is modeled. Based on fluid mechanics principles, the functional relationship between the pressure at each pressure measurement point of the probe and the incoming flow parameters can be obtained, as shown in Equations 1-5:

[0070]

[0071] Where, p totle The total pressure of the incoming flow can be directly measured by the Pitot tube probe 1. Based on the above formula, a calibration curve for the Pitot tube probe 1 can be established.

[0072] The probe is fixed inside the flue gas duct 7 according to the above arrangement. The solenoid valve group 5 of the control device 4 is connected to the pressure transmitter. After zeroing, the exhaust pipe of the flue gas density measuring device 6 is connected to check whether the measurement circuit is normal.

[0073] The controller sends commands according to a preset cycle, controlling the on / off state of each probe circuit through the solenoid valve group 5. During pressure measurement, the solenoid directional valve switches to the total pressure / static pressure measurement mode, and the pressure transmitter converts the differential pressure signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the data processing device 8. During density and temperature measurement, the flue gas extraction solenoid valve 5 is opened periodically, the flue gas density measuring device 6 calculates the density using the mass-volume method, the temperature sensor 2 synchronously collects the temperature at the measuring point, and the measurement data is uploaded to the storage module.

[0074] The data processing device 8's calculation module performs flow velocity calculation, calculates the flow velocity at each point according to the pressure difference formula, corrects the results by combining temperature and density data, and finally performs a weighted average of the measurement results to obtain the average flow velocity of the flue.

[0075] The neural network algorithm and machine learning algorithm in the data processing module of the data processing device 8 are combined with the original dataset in the database to train the model. Based on the flow velocity value, pitch angle, yaw angle and probe spatial coordinates (radial / axial position) from the data of each probe, the location of eddies and backflow in the flow field is simply identified.

[0076] After the system has continuously collected sufficient data, a historical database is established through the storage module of the data processing device 8. Based on the database, the model network parameters are adjusted through multiple rounds of training, with a focus on improving the recognition accuracy of complex flow fields. Model optimization is completed when the prediction error stabilizes within ±3%. Subsequently, incremental training is performed every 10,000 sets of new data to ensure long-term prediction effectiveness and achieve simple dynamic prediction of flow fields.

[0079] S1, each Pitot tube is calibrated in a standard wind tunnel, and the reference parameters of the three-dimensional Pitot tube are calibrated according to the standard in the "Technical Specification for Continuous Monitoring of Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Flue Gas of Thermal Power Plants".

[0080] S2, Arrange all Pitot tube probes in the flue in an asymmetrical manner;

[0081] S3, according to the measurement needs, measure the pressure value at each probe respectively, and send the raw pressure data obtained by measurement to the data processing device through the signal transmission link. The data processing device classifies and stores the data in the preset database according to time; a fixed measurement cycle is set, and the cycle is adaptively adjusted within the range of 1-60 minutes according to the flue gas conditions. The measurement operation is continuously executed according to the cycle, so that the database forms a flue gas field pressure dataset containing different time nodes.

[0082] S4, in the data processing device, the airflow velocity, pitch angle and yaw angle at the measuring point are calculated according to the relationship between pressure difference and velocity; based on the measurement results of each point, the average flow velocity of the fluid is obtained by weighted averaging of the data collected by each probe. The basic weight coefficient of the central layer probe is set to 1.0 because it is located in the core area of ​​the flow field; the basic weight coefficient of the transition layer probe is set to 0.9; and the weight coefficient of the wall group probe is set to 0.8 because it is affected by the boundary layer.

[0083] S5, in the data processing module, the neural network algorithm and machine learning algorithm are combined with the original dataset in the database to train the model. Based on the flow velocity value, pitch angle, yaw angle and probe spatial coordinates from each probe data, the location of eddies and backflow in the flow field is identified.

[0084] S6: After the system has been running continuously for more than 3 months or has accumulated no less than 100,000 sets of valid data, a historical database is established through the storage module of the data processing device. Based on the historical database, the parameters of the model are adjusted through multiple rounds of training. When the prediction error is stable within ±3%, the model optimization is completed. Thereafter, incremental training is carried out for every 10,000 sets of new data to ensure long-term prediction effectiveness and realize dynamic prediction of the flow field.
