Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of monitoring and positioning technology, and more specifically, to a leak detection and positioning system for heat exchange stations based on pressure fluctuation patterns. Background Technology
[0002] Existing leak detection technologies for heat exchange stations mainly include static pressure monitoring, ultrasonic detection, and infrared thermal imaging. Their core ideas are mostly based on sudden changes in physical quantities caused by leaks, and they determine whether a leak has occurred by monitoring phenomena such as a drop in absolute pressure, abnormal sound signals, or temperature field distortion.
[0003] The advantages of existing technologies lie in their low operational threshold and the fact that some methods can achieve non-contact detection, making them suitable for rapid screening of large areas. However, they also have significant shortcomings: static pressure monitoring methods rely solely on changes in average pressure and cannot distinguish between fluctuations caused by leaks and normal fluctuations caused by medium flow and temperature changes, with positioning errors typically exceeding 10 meters; ultrasonic detection methods are easily affected by pipeline noise and ambient sound waves, and have a low recognition rate for small leaks; infrared thermal imaging methods are greatly affected by ambient temperature, with a significant decrease in detection sensitivity in low-temperature winter environments, and cannot penetrate insulation layers to detect internal leaks. Consequently, they are unable to provide accurate data support for heat exchange station operation and maintenance decisions, fail to meet the real-time, accurate, and decision-making support requirements of intelligent management for leak detection, and struggle to guarantee operation and maintenance costs, thus increasing the computational costs for relevant personnel.
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as low positioning accuracy, weak anti-interference capabilities, and poor identification of minor leaks, a leak detection and location system for heat exchange stations based on pressure fluctuation patterns is needed. This system should combine multi-source data collaborative analysis and intelligent decision support technologies to achieve accurate leak detection and location while providing data support for optimizing the allocation of heat exchange station operation and maintenance resources and management decisions, thereby promoting the deep integration of leak detection technology and digital operation and maintenance management.

[0021] Operating condition adaptive module: dynamically adjusts the sampling strategy according to the operating load of the heat exchange station; In this embodiment, the sampling strategy specifically includes: classifying load levels, determining an initial sampling scheme, implementing data segmentation, and verifying signal integrity. The load level classification method involves calculating the load change per unit time relative to the rated load to obtain the fluctuation, and classifying the load into low, medium, and high levels based on the fluctuation magnitude. The initial sampling scheme determination method involves calling the sampling frequency and duration from the associated benchmark library that match the current load level and fluctuation. For low loads, a low-frequency, long-duration sampling combination is matched; for medium loads, a standard sampling combination is matched; and for high loads, a high-frequency, short-duration sampling combination is matched. The core of the initial sampling scheme's data collection revolves around the core data and auxiliary calibration data required for subsequent leak analysis. Specifically, it is divided into two categories: core data and auxiliary data, and all collection actions are aimed at constructing a high-quality pressure time series. This supports subsequent analysis, specifically as follows: Core Acquisition Data: This is the core of the initial sampling scheme, directly used to construct the basic dataset for leak analysis, namely the real-time pressure values of the medium inside the pipeline. During the acquisition process, pressure data of the medium inside the pipeline is continuously captured at a sampling frequency adapted to the current operating conditions. After these data are arranged in chronological order of acquisition, they form the core foundation for all subsequent analyses—the pressure time series. The fluctuation characteristics caused by leakage will all be reflected in this sequence. Auxiliary data acquisition data, while not directly involved in pressure sequence construction, ensures sampling quality and the accuracy of subsequent data correction, serving as a necessary supplement to the initial sampling scheme: Real-time operating load of the heat exchange station: such as heat load and flow load, used to determine the fluctuation level of the current operating condition, thereby confirming the suitability of the sampling frequency and duration in the initial sampling scheme and avoiding invalid sampling data due to misjudgment of the operating condition; Basic physical parameters of the medium: mainly the real-time temperature and dynamic viscosity of the medium at each detection point. This data is used for subsequent correction of the influence of temperature and pressure on viscosity, eliminating cross-interference, and ensuring the accuracy of the pressure-time series-based data. The extracted fluctuation characteristics more closely resemble actual leakage conditions, rather than spurious fluctuations caused by changes in the physical properties of the medium. Simply put, the initial sampling scheme involves first collecting real-time pressure values to construct a core pressure time series. Then, operating load and medium physical parameters are collected to adapt the sampling strategy and prepare for subsequent data calibration. The data segmentation method is as follows: the collected data is segmented according to a fixed time window, the fluctuation variance of each segment is calculated, and a fluctuation variance judgment threshold is set. Segments with fluctuation variance exceeding the threshold are marked as high-fluctuation segments. The pressure extreme values and fluctuation frequencies of the high-fluctuation segments are extracted separately and compared with historical data of normal fluctuation segments under the same operating conditions to determine whether the fluctuation is caused by leakage and to issue an early warning signal. The method for verifying signal integrity is as follows: a pressure time series is defined. For the i-th detection point, the continuous pressure data set within the acquisition time t is given. The preset threshold for the missing rate of each data segment is 0.5%. If the missing rate of a certain data segment exceeds the threshold, the resampling mechanism is triggered: for the time interval corresponding to the segment, the original sampling parameters are maintained, the supplementary sampling mode of the detection point sensor is started, and the missing segment is replaced after supplementary sampling. If the missing rate is still not met after 3 supplementary samplings, the sampling priority of the detection point is increased, the sampling interval is shortened, and the entire data segment is re-acquired.
[0022] Hierarchical suppression module: Identifies noise types and matches differentiated filtering strategies; In this embodiment, the specific method for identifying noise types is as follows: The collected pressure signal is decomposed in the frequency domain, and combined with pipeline vibration characteristics, sensor characteristics, and environmental interference spectrum. Specifically, the first step is to extract a 30-second continuous pressure signal segment from each detection point; the second step is to convert the time-domain signal to a frequency-domain signal using a fast Fourier transform; the third step is to retrieve a preset spectrum feature library (storing typical spectra of pipeline vibration noise 50-100Hz, sensor noise >1kHz, and environmental interference noise <10Hz); and the fourth step is to compare the converted frequency-domain signal with the feature library to match the noise type of the corresponding frequency band. The filtering strategy is as follows: adaptive notch filtering (notch frequency tracks the vibration main frequency) is used for pipeline vibration noise; low-pass filtering (cutoff frequency matches the upper limit of the sensor noise main frequency) is used for sensor noise; and improved wavelet threshold filtering is used for environmental interference noise to obtain the filtered preprocessed pressure time series. ,in Represents the wavelet decomposition coefficients. This represents the dynamically calculated layer threshold. The adjustment factor is indicated to match the noise intensity. The method for verifying the filtering effect is to calculate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the filtered signal; otherwise, adjust the filtering parameters and reprocess. The method for verifying the filtering effect is to set a SNR threshold that matches the detection accuracy requirements, calculate the SNR of the filtered signal, and if the threshold is not reached, adjust the parameters of the corresponding filtering method by notch frequency and wavelet decomposition level, and re-filter until the target is met.
