[0002] Direct cooling tower, also known as direct air cooling tower, exhaust steam discharged from steam engines, steam turbines and other equipment is directly sent into the circular metal heat dissipation tubes in the cooling tower through pipes. The tubes are connected by heat dissipation fins and cooled into condensate by fans. No condenser is required, so it is called direct air cooling.

[0003] Direct air cooling technology encounters some problems in the operation of domestic power plants, such as high back pressure in summer, high antifreeze pressure in winter, unreasonable fan operation mode, lack of basis for back pressure setting, etc. Direct air cooling condensers are arranged outdoors. When operating in cold winter, especially during the start-up and shutdown process of the unit, and deep peak regulation or low-load operation at night when the steam turbine exhaust volume is small, the temperature field of the air cooling island radiator is prone to unevenness, which can easily cause local freezing, resulting in abnormalities or shutdown of the unit, causing serious economic losses to the enterprise.

[0004] During the operation of the direct cooling tower, the temperature of the air-cooling island radiator composed of heat pipes needs to be monitored. At present, the existing temperature measurement point data of the air-cooling system cannot fully reflect the temperature status of the air-cooling island. In order to prevent the radiator from freezing, the operating plant generally adopts the operation mode of increasing the back pressure of the unit, which greatly reduces the operation economy of the generator set.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a power plant direct cooling tower line type multi-point temperature field monitoring and early warning system, including a temperature measuring cable 1, a field acquisition terminal 2, a system host 3, a distributed control system 4 and a temperature alarm system 5.

[0032] Among them, Figure 2 As shown, the temperature measuring cable 1 extends in a pulsed manner and is distributed on the heat dissipation surface formed by the heat dissipation pipe. The temperature measuring cable 1 has a plurality of temperature measuring elements 6 spaced apart along the extension direction, and the temperature measuring elements 6 are in contact with the outer surface of the heat dissipation pipe.

[0033] In this embodiment, the temperature measuring cable 1 adopts HSM (Hot Spot Monitor) linear multi-point temperature detector, which is a linear temperature measuring cable using a digital temperature sensor integrated chip, which can collect the temperature of the detection point in real time and construct a temperature field. Figure 2 As shown, two temperature measuring cables 1 are arranged in parallel, the length of the pulse unit of the pulse-shaped extension line formed by the temperature measuring cable 1 is 2050 mm, the temperature measuring element 6 is located on the rising edge and the falling edge of the pulse-shaped extension line, and the distance between two adjacent temperature measuring elements 6 is 1000 mm.

[0036] The distributed control system 4 and the temperature alarm system 5 are both connected to the system host 3. The system host 3 collects, displays, records, stores, and outputs alarms in real time, and has the functions of temperature rise rate warning and temperature over-limit warning, and links the temperature alarm system 5 to alarm. The distributed control system 4 is used to monitor, manage, and analyze data to ensure safe production.
