Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermal equipment maintenance technology in coal-fired power plants, specifically to a closed-loop control method and online cleaning device based on the cleanliness status of air preheaters. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the vast majority of coal-fired power plants have completed denitrification retrofits. Among them, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitrification is widely used in the industry due to its mature technology, high denitrification efficiency, and stable operation. However, with the extension of SCR reactor operating time and the increase in ammonia injection under ultra-clean emission requirements, air preheaters commonly experience problems such as ash accumulation, corrosion, and blockage, which seriously affect unit operation.
[0003] The aforementioned problems directly lead to increased resistance in the forced draft fan and induced draft fan, insufficient airflow in the coal mill, and elevated flue gas temperature. In some power plants, the problem of air preheater blockage is particularly serious, even causing induced draft fan stall and tripping, resulting in unplanned temporary shutdowns of the unit. This not only significantly reduces the unit's operating economy but also poses a major threat to operational safety.
[0004] The core cause of air preheater blockage lies in the unavoidable production of ammonium bisulfate during SCR operation. Ammonium bisulfate has a melting point of 147℃ and a boiling point of 350℃, and it can react with alkaline solutions to produce ammonia gas. When it is generated in flue gas, it is usually in a gaseous state with a low concentration. However, as the flue gas temperature gradually decreases, when the temperature drops below the dew point temperature, the gaseous ammonium bisulfate will condense into a liquid state, and the dew point temperature is related to the concentration of ammonium bisulfate. Numerous experimental studies have shown that when the boiler flue gas temperature drops to 220-230℃, the gaseous ammonium bisulfate will transform into a liquid state and condense on the heated surfaces.
[0005] The low-temperature range of the rotary air preheater is exactly 120–230°C, which falls within the condensation temperature range of ammonium bisulfate. Within this temperature range, liquid ammonium bisulfate has extremely high viscosity and will quickly adhere to the surface of the heat exchange elements of the air preheater, and adsorb a large amount of fly ash from the flue gas, ultimately leading to blockage of the air preheater.
[0006] While existing technologies have proposed various solutions to address the problem of ammonium bisulfate clogging in air preheaters, they all have significant drawbacks: they cannot monitor the cleanliness of the air preheater in real time, lack a closed-loop management mechanism of "monitoring-feedback-action," make it difficult to comprehensively evaluate the cleaning effect, and cannot ensure that the air preheater is always in a state of high-efficiency operation; in addition, the existing cleaning devices have complex and unreasonable structures, resulting in poor cleaning effects. Summary of the Invention
[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing air preheater cleaning monitoring and cleaning technologies, the present invention aims to provide a closed-loop control method based on the cleanliness status of the air preheater, enabling real-time monitoring, closed-loop management, and efficient cleaning, thereby ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the air preheater.
[0008] Another objective of this invention is to provide an online cleaning device based on the cleanliness of an air preheater, which has a simple and reasonable structure and a significant cleaning effect.

[0035] The online cleaning device used in the above-mentioned closed-loop control method based on the cleanliness of the air preheater includes an air preheater, a main pipe assembly, and a flow guide assembly. The main pipe assembly is located on one axial side of the heat exchange plates of the air preheater, and is generally arc-shaped. The side adjacent to the air preheater is densely covered with air outlets, and the main pipe assembly also has an air inlet for connecting to an external high-pressure air source. The flow guide assembly covers the outside of the main pipe assembly, and the interior of the flow guide assembly forms a flow guide groove adapted to the shape of the main pipe assembly. The orientation of the flow guide groove is consistent with the axial direction of the heat exchange plates of the air preheater to prevent airflow dispersion and ensure the intensity of the purging airflow. The main pipe assembly and the flow guide assembly are assembled together and moved radially along the air preheater by a reciprocating mechanism, so that all areas of the heat exchange plates can be purged in place.
[0036] Furthermore, the main pipe assembly includes a first main pipe, a second main pipe, and vent pipes, wherein the length of the first main pipe is greater than the length of the second main pipe, the first main pipe and the second main pipe form a concentric arc, and the two are connected and fixed by two vent pipes and are internally connected; both the first main pipe and the second main pipe are densely covered with air outlets on the side adjacent to the air preheater; a three-way pipe joint is provided at the center of the first main pipe, the inlet of the three-way pipe joint is connected to a high-pressure air source, and the other two outlets are respectively connected to the first main pipe, so that two airflows are formed in the first main pipe from the middle to both ends, ensuring that the airflow intensity is uniform in all areas of the entire main pipe assembly.
[0037] The reciprocating mechanism includes a screw assembly and a guide assembly. The guide assembly has two parallel slide rails, and two vent pipes are clamped to the two slide rails by clamps to form a sliding fit, ensuring the stability of the main pipe assembly during radial movement. A nut is hollowly arranged in the central area of the tee pipe joint, and the inner wall of the nut is threaded. The screw assembly includes multiple connecting pipes located between the two vent pipes. A sleeve is attached to the surface of the connecting pipe, and a screw is installed inside the sleeve. The screw extends out of one end of the sleeve and connects to the motor, and passes through the nut at the other end of the sleeve and is threadedly connected to the nut.

[0040] This invention achieves real-time monitoring and dynamic control of the air preheater's cleanliness through a closed-loop control method. Combined with the efficient purging function of an online cleaning device, it solves the problems of non-real-time cleaning monitoring, poor cleaning effect, and lack of closed-loop management in existing technologies. When the air preheater heat exchange fins rotate, the arc-shaped main tube and the guide shroud work together to continuously purge the heat exchange fins within a fixed angle range on the arc surface, increasing the purging time of the heat exchange fins, significantly improving the cleaning effect and heat exchange efficiency, and thus improving the economic performance of the generator set.
