Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a transient calculation method for a gas-water separation water hammer buffer based on engineering thermodynamics, belonging to the field of hydraulic transient calculation technology. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of large-capacity, long-distance, high-pressure, and complex hydraulic systems such as pumping stations, hydropower stations, and irrigation systems, significant hydraulic transient problems inevitably arise during operation, such as power outages and large load changes. The resulting drastic fluctuations in pipeline pressure can lead to substantial engineering hazards, including noise generation, pipeline fatigue failure, and leakage of hydraulic components. In severe cases, pipe bursts, turbine runaway, or even backflow and reverse rotation may occur. To reduce water hammer accidents, current engineering practices primarily involve installing various water hammer protection measures in the system, such as water hammer relief valves, surge tanks, pressure regulating wells, air valves, and various combinations of protection. Among these, pressure regulating tanks are a commonly used and effective pressure stabilizing device that can significantly reduce water hammer, especially suitable for high-lift, long-distance hydraulic systems. However, due to the contact between gas and water phases, the gas can easily dissolve in the water. After the water and gas mix, they come into long-term contact with the inner wall of the pressure regulating tank, pipes, valves and other metal parts, which can easily corrode the inner wall and shorten the service life of the equipment. At the same time, the initial pressure of the gas must be set according to the pressure under steady-state conditions of the hydraulic system, and the initial gas pressure cannot be increased alone, which limits its widespread use in hydraulic systems.
[0003] Therefore, a novel gas-water separation pressure regulating buffer device has emerged in the prior art, which can effectively improve the aforementioned problems existing in conventional pressure regulating tanks. For example... Figure 1 As shown, this air-water separation water hammer buffer consists of an upper high-pressure air tank, a lower air-water mixing tank, multiple connecting pipes, and solenoid valves. During normal operation of the hydraulic system, the solenoid valves are closed. When system conditions change, causing hydraulic transients, during pressure reduction, if the pressure drop at a point on the main pipeline relative to the head of the pressure gauge at the main pipeline connection exceeds a set value, or if the delay time relative to the moment the main pipeline valve begins to close exceeds a set value, the solenoid valve opens and remains open. At this time, the gas in the high-pressure air tank and the gas in the air-water mixing tank flow together. The high-pressure gas in the high-pressure air tank is pushed to the upper part of the air-water mixing tank connected to the main pipeline, thereby injecting water from the air-water mixing tank into the main pipeline. Ultimately, this achieves reliable real-time water replenishment to the main pipeline from the air-water mixing tank and storage of high-pressure water in the working pipeline, thus preventing water hammer damage.
[0004] As a novel water hammer protection measure, there is currently no applicable computational model for this gas-water separation water hammer buffer during hydraulic transient processes. Using experimental methods not only carries inherent risks and is extremely costly, but also, for large and complex pipe networks, the combined influence of other components during the experiment may prevent a true reflection of the component's transient hydraulic characteristics. Furthermore, due to the presence of a two-phase (gas and water) problem during hydraulic transients, numerical simulation methods are also difficult to apply to numerical calculations of the gas-water separation water hammer buffer.

[0101] Based on the relative error between iterations Determine whether the iteration within this time step has ended. If If the condition is met, return to S41; otherwise, the iteration ends.
[0102] in, This is the preset error threshold.
[0103] Furthermore, prior to S1, the method further includes:
[0104] Determine whether the solenoid valve 13 between the high-pressure gas tank 11 and the gas-water mixing tank 12 in the gas-water separation water hammer buffer 10 is open. If it is open, execute S1.
[0105] Both the high-pressure gas tank 11 and the gas-water mixing tank 12 are insulated containers.
[0106] First, set the opening parameters for solenoid valve 13.
[0107] Specifically, when a hydraulic system experiences a hydraulic transient pressure drop, if the pressure at a certain point on the main pipeline decreases relative to the piezometer head at the main pipeline connection... Greater than the set value Or the delay time relative to the moment when the main pipeline valve begins to close. Greater than the set value If so, solenoid valve 13 opens and remains open. Introducing state parameters. This is used to characterize the switching state of solenoid valve 13. The switching state parameters of solenoid valve 13... Determine using the following method:
[0108] If the gas-water separation water hammer buffer 10 is in working condition, then Otherwise, let This indicates that solenoid valve 13 is closed.
[0109] Then, determine whether solenoid valve 13 is open.
[0110] Specifically, determine the parameters Is it true? If so... If true, that is This indicates that the solenoid valve 13 between the high-pressure gas tank 11 and the gas-water mixing tank 12 is open, and the gases from the two tanks mix instantly, forming a single unit. If It is false, that is This indicates that the gas-water mixing tank 12 is used as a regular pressure regulating tank.
[0111] Multiple electromagnetic control valves are used to connect the high-pressure gas tank 11 and the gas-water mixing tank 12 to ensure that once opened, it remains open, so that the high-pressure gas tank 11 and the gas-water mixing tank 12 can be regarded as a whole tank, that is, completely connected, and the gases in the two tanks are instantly and completely mixed.
[0112] Furthermore, after S4, the method further includes:

The calculated value; the pressure of the mixed gas Calculated values and mixed gas volume Substituting the calculated value into the third relational expression, we can obtain the temperature of the mixed gas. The calculated value.
[0119] In practical applications, the calculation process can be divided into two types depending on whether the solenoid valve 13 between the high-pressure gas tank 11 and the gas-water mixing tank 12 is open: if the solenoid valve 13 is not open, only the gas-water mixing tank 12 works (used as a conventional pressure regulating tank), and the same calculation method as that for conventional pressure regulating tanks is adopted; if the solenoid valve 13 is open, the calculation method in this invention is adopted.
[0120] The calculation method of the present invention makes the following assumptions: the high-pressure gas tank 11 and the gas-water mixing tank 12 are rigid containers, and the influence of the macroscopic velocity and position height of the gas in the high-pressure gas tank 11 and the gas-water mixing tank 12 is ignored.
[0121] The ideal gas inside the container is air.
[0122] Multiple electromagnetic control valves are used to connect the high-pressure gas tank 11 and the gas-water mixing tank 12 to ensure that once opened, it remains open. The high-pressure gas tank 11 and the gas-water mixing tank 12 can be regarded as a single container, that is, completely connected. At this time, the gases in the two tanks are instantly and completely mixed.
[0123] The high-pressure gas tank 11 and the gas-water mixing tank 12 can be assumed to be insulated containers, or the heat transfer through the tank wall can be calculated according to the actual situation.
[0124] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a hydraulic system for a gas-water separation water hammer buffer, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the system consists of upstream and downstream reservoirs, pipelines, pumps, valves, and two sets of gas-water separation water hammer buffers 10. To reduce the pressure drop after the valves during an accident, two gas-water separation water hammer buffers 10 are installed at points 1 and 5 respectively. The upstream and downstream reservoir liquid level elevations are 16 m and 25.5 m, respectively. The total pipeline length is 40,000 m, and the pump's rated head is 53 m with a rated speed of 1480 r / min. When the pump is de-energized, the two-stage valves downstream of the pump are butterfly valves, with a closing pattern of 85% rapid closure in 3 seconds and the remaining 15% closure in 10 seconds, for a total valve closure time of 13 seconds. Based on the method provided by this invention, the pressure at the main nodes of the hydraulic system, as well as the changes in gas pressure, flow rate, temperature, and volume within the gas-water separation water hammer buffers 10, are calculated.
[0125] In this embodiment, the high-pressure gas tank 11 in the gas-water separation water hammer buffer 10 at the fork point has a volume of 8m³. 3 The initial pressure is 60.3 mH2O, and the volume of gas-water mixing tank 12 is 23 m³. 3 The gas volume is 0.5 m³. 3 The high-pressure gas tank 11 in the gas-water separation water hammer buffer 10 at the 5th intersection has a volume of 10m³. 3 The initial pressure is 32.6 mH2O, and the volume of gas-water mixing tank 12 is 19 m³. 3 The gas volume is 1m³ 3 .
[0126] The transient hydraulic characteristics of the gas-water separation water hammer buffer 10 during the pump power failure and valve closure process are as follows: Figures 4 to 9 The figures shown are: gas flow rate over time in the gas-water separation water hammer buffer 10 during the pump de-energization valve closure process; gas volume and pressure over time in the gas-water separation water hammer buffer 10 during the closure process; pressure over time at point 1; pump speed over time; and hydraulic system envelope diagram. Figure 9 The blue line represents the maximum head envelope, the green line represents the minimum head envelope, the gray line represents the liquid level envelope, and the red line represents the hydraulic gradient envelope.
[0127] The final calculation results of the calculation method proposed in this invention show that cavitation does not occur in the entire hydraulic system. The pressure is lowest at point 5, but it is still about 1m above the elevation at that point. At point 1, the minimum residual water in the air-water separation water hammer buffer 10 is 1m. 3 At the 5-fork point, the air-water separation water hammer buffer has a minimum residual water level of 1m³. 3When using the gas-water separation water hammer buffer 10 for protection, the total volume of the tank can be significantly reduced compared to the traditional pressure regulating tank. By using the gas-water separation water hammer buffer 10 for water hammer protection and rationally selecting the volume of each tank and the initial pressure of the high-pressure gas tank 11, the volume of the gas-water separation water hammer buffer 10 can be effectively reduced, while ensuring that cavitation does not occur in the entire hydraulic system.
[0128] It should be noted that the installation position of the gas-water separation water hammer buffer 10 was determined after calculation, with reference to the setting of a common pressure regulating tank.
[0129] The initial values of the volume and diameter of the high-pressure gas tank 11 and the gas volume in the gas-water mixing tank 12 need to be selected based on the calculation results of the hydraulic system's stable operating conditions, with reference to the setting requirements of ordinary pressure regulating tanks, and combined with practical engineering experience. Finally, they are determined through hydraulic transient calculation results.
[0130] The gas pressure inside the high-pressure gas tank 11 can be determined based on the pressure calculation results at the node of the hydraulic system under stable operating conditions. The initial value is about 1.1 times the pressure at the node, and the final value is determined based on the calculation results of hydraulic transients.
[0131] The gas pressure inside the high-pressure gas tank 11 can also be reduced by increasing the initial pressure of the high-pressure gas tank 11, thereby reducing the volume of the high-pressure gas tank 11.
[0132] It should also be noted that the order of each step can be adjusted appropriately according to actual needs during the calculation process, and no restrictions are imposed here.
[0133] This invention constructs a set of equations relating four parameters in the gas-water separation water hammer buffer 10: the pressure of the mixed gas after mixing in the high-pressure gas tank 11 and the gas-water mixing tank 12, the volumetric flow rate of the water flowing into the tank, the temperature of the mixed gas, and the volume of the mixed gas. Then, it constructs functional expressions relating the volumetric flow rate of the water flowing into the tank, the temperature of the mixed gas, and the total energy of the mixed gas. Combining these equations and solving the functional expressions using Newton's iteration method, the transient parameters of the water separation water hammer buffer can be accurately calculated. Furthermore, substituting the calculated value of the volumetric flow rate of the water flowing into the tank into the equations yields the calculated values of the mixed gas pressure, temperature, and volume. These transient parameters accurately reflect the transient hydraulic characteristics of the gas-water separation water hammer buffer 10. This method is simple to calculate and has low cost.
