Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipeline cooling technology, specifically a cooling and temperature regulation method. Background Technology

[0002] When conducting gas turbine tests on a ground test bench, high-temperature and high-pressure exhaust gases are generated. The emission of these exhaust gases requires cooling, depressurization, and noise reduction treatment.

[0003] Currently, high-temperature and high-pressure gas after testing is generally cooled by direct water spraying. However, the spray water system typically operates under its maximum designed operating conditions. Under lower operating conditions, the gas temperature is generally lower, but the water spray volume does not decrease, resulting in a large amount of water accumulation in the subsequent pipelines. The spray water pipes are drilled directly with the exhaust pipes, resulting in weak atomization capabilities. The spray cooling water comes into direct contact with the high-temperature gas, and the small contact area between the high-temperature gas and the spray water leads to low cooling efficiency, requiring more spray water and further exacerbating the water accumulation in the downstream pipelines.

[0004] This invention is a cooling and temperature regulation method for high-temperature and high-pressure gas using a water spray cooling device based on the exhaust system of a gas turbine test apparatus. The total amount of spray water required is calculated according to the actual working conditions, and the spray volume of each spray ring is precisely adjusted to make the atomization evaporation rate of the spray water reach more than 90%, and there is basically no water accumulation in the subsequent pipeline. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a cooling and temperature regulation method that has the advantages of good cooling effect and less water accumulation. It solves the problem that the small contact area between high-temperature gas and spray water leads to low cooling efficiency, which in turn requires more spray water and further aggravates water accumulation in downstream pipes.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a cooling and temperature regulation method, comprising the following steps:

[0007] 1) Under low operating conditions, circulating water enters the circulating water channel through the circulating water interface;

[0008] 2) During the circulation of the circulating water in the circulating water channel, it will carry away the heat from the contact between the inner wall of the pipe and the gas.

[0009] 3) Under heavy operating conditions, the spray water enters the spray ring through the spray water control valve and the spray water interface;

[0010] 4) When the spray water enters the spray ring, it is atomized by the spray atomizing head on the upper side and then fully mixed with the high-temperature gas to cool it down.

[0011] Furthermore, the main body of the gas pipeline includes an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, a rear flange, and a front flange. The two ends of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are respectively connected to the rear flange and the front flange, and a circulating water channel is formed between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. A water-dividing rib is fixed in the circulating water channel.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer cylinder is connected from left to right to a linearly distributed water collection pipe at the front end of the outer cylinder circulation, a water collection pipe in the middle of the outer cylinder circulation, and a water collection pipe at the rear end of the outer cylinder circulation. The other end of each of the three water collection pipes is fixed with a circulating water interface.

[0013] Furthermore, one side of the front flange is connected to a front orifice flange spray water interface, and a flange spray water control valve is sleeved inside the front orifice flange spray water interface. A spray ring is provided inside the inner cylinder, and at least two spray atomizing heads are connected to the outside of the spray ring.

[0014] Furthermore, one side of the outer cylinder is connected to multiple equally spaced external spray water interfaces, and a spray water control valve is sleeved on the outside of the external spray water interface.

[0015] Furthermore, each set of water spray rings is equipped with a valve that can be precisely adjusted and controlled, allowing for precise individual control of the flow rate of each set of water spray rings.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This cooling and temperature regulation method adapts to different cooling methods for different operating conditions, ensuring minimal water accumulation in the subsequent pipelines and conserving water resources. The atomized spray water comes into contact with the high-temperature gas, resulting in a large contact area and excellent cooling effect. The water is collected in the upper water collection pipe in the opposite direction of the water distributor. During circulation, the water carries away the heat absorbed by the inner wall from the high-temperature gas, ensuring the temperature remains within the design range. The water distribution ribs control the water flow corresponding to each channel, reducing dead zones between the inner and outer cylinder components. The total amount of spray water required is calculated based on actual operating conditions. Each spray ring is equipped with a precisely adjustable valve, allowing for precise individual control of the flow rate of each spray ring. Under different test conditions, the spray volume is adjustable, ensuring that the atomization evaporation rate of the spray water reaches over 90% of the total spray volume.

[0019] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the circulating water flow structure of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 The cooling and temperature regulation method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0022] 1) Under low operating conditions, circulating water enters the circulating water channel through the circulating water interface;

[0023] 2) During the circulation of the circulating water in the circulating water channel, it will carry away the heat from the contact between the inner wall of the pipe and the gas.

[0024] 3) Under heavy operating conditions, the spray water enters the spray ring through the spray water control valve and the spray water interface;

[0025] 4) When the spray water enters the spray ring, it is atomized by the spray atomizing head on the upper side and then fully mixed with the high-temperature gas to cool it down.

[0026] The main body of the gas pipeline includes an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, a rear flange, and a front flange. The two ends of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are connected to the rear flange and the front flange, respectively, and a circulating water channel is formed between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. Water distribution ribs are fixed in the circulating water channel.

[0027] The outer cylinder is connected from left to right to the front water collection pipe, the middle water collection pipe, and the rear water collection pipe of the outer cylinder circulation, which are arranged in a linear pattern. The other end of the front water collection pipe, the middle water collection pipe, and the rear water collection pipe of the outer cylinder circulation are all fixed with a circulating water interface.

[0028] During the operation of the circulating water system, the circulating water enters the outer cylinder through the circulating water interface, the front, middle and rear water distribution and collection pipes, and then enters the circulating water channel between the inner cylinder assembly and the outer cylinder assembly. The outer cylinder circulating water distribution and collection pipes have water passages, and the circulating water can pass through the water distributor.

[0029] One side of the front flange is connected to the front orifice flange spray water interface. The front orifice flange spray water interface is fitted with a flange spray water control valve. A spray ring is installed inside the inner cylinder. At least two spray atomizing heads are connected to the outside of the spray ring.

[0030] It can be seen that there are water-dividing ribs between the inner cylinder assembly and the outer cylinder assembly to control the water flow corresponding to each channel, reduce the dead zone between the inner cylinder assembly and the outer cylinder assembly. The spray ring and spray atomizing head allow the spray water to enter the spray ring through the spray water control valve and spray water interface. After being atomized by the spray atomizing head on the spray ring, it is fully mixed with the high-temperature gas to achieve the purpose of cooling.

[0031] One side of the outer cylinder is connected to multiple equally spaced external spray water inlets, and a spray water control valve is fitted on the outside of the external spray water inlet.

[0032] Each spray ring is equipped with a valve that can be precisely adjusted and controlled, allowing for precise individual control of the flow rate of each spray ring.

[0033] It should be noted that when the circulating water fills the circulating water channel between the inner cylinder assembly and the outer cylinder assembly, it is collected into the water collection pipe through the water collection pipe arranged above in the opposite way of the water distributor. During the circulation process, it carries away the heat absorbed by the inner wall when it comes into contact with the high-temperature gas, ensuring that the temperature is within the design range.

[0034] Different cooling methods are used to adapt to the cooling of the gas pipeline under different operating conditions. There is basically no water accumulation in the subsequent pipeline, which saves water resources. The atomized spray water comes into contact with the high-temperature gas, with a large contact area and good cooling effect. The water is collected into the water collection pipe arranged above in the opposite way of the water distributor. During the circulation process, the water carries away the heat absorbed by the inner wall in contact with the high-temperature gas, ensuring that the temperature is within the design range.

[0035] It should be noted that the water distribution bars are used to control the water flow corresponding to each channel, reduce the dead zone between the inner and outer cylinder components, and calculate the total amount of spray water required according to the actual working conditions. Each group of spray rings is equipped with a valve that can be precisely adjusted and controlled, which can accurately control the flow rate of each group of spray rings individually. Under different test conditions, the spray volume can be adjusted and varied, and the atomization evaporation rate of the spray water can basically reach more than 90% of the total spray volume.

[0036] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: During the operation of the circulating water, the circulating water enters the outer cylinder through the circulating water interface, the front, middle and rear water distribution pipes, and then enters the circulating water channel between the inner cylinder assembly and the outer cylinder assembly. The outer cylinder circulating water distribution pipe has a water passage, and the circulating water can pass through the water distributor. When the circulating water fills the circulating water channel between the inner cylinder assembly and the outer cylinder assembly, it is collected into the water distribution pipe arranged above in the opposite manner of the water distributor. During the circulation process, it carries away the heat absorbed by the inner wall and the high-temperature gas, ensuring that the temperature is within the design range. There are water distribution ribs between the inner cylinder assembly and the outer cylinder assembly to control the water flow corresponding to each channel and reduce the dead zone between the inner cylinder assembly and the outer cylinder assembly. The spray ring and the spray atomizing head allow the spray water to enter the spray ring through the spray water control valve and the spray water interface. After being atomized by the spray atomizing head on the spray ring, it is fully mixed with the high-temperature gas to achieve the purpose of cooling.
