Both steam inlet pipelines are connected to the steam inlet main pipe of the equipment heating unit.

[0042] The equipment heating unit includes multiple heating pipes connected in parallel to the steam inlet main pipe. Each heating pipe corresponds to one equipment. Figure 1Only six devices are listed, which can be adjusted according to production needs. The six devices in this embodiment are reaction tower, dust collector, public ash conveyor, bucket elevator, ash bin, and caustic soda tank. The corresponding heating pipes are reaction tower heating pipe, dust collector heating pipe, public ash conveyor heating pipe, bucket elevator heating pipe, ash bin heating pipe, and caustic soda tank heating pipe.

[0044] like Figure 2As shown in the figure, the system gives priority to steam turbine extraction, and according to the heating temperature requirement, the steam turbine is extracted and desuperheated and decompressed before being input into the steam delivery unit, and then into the subsequent equipment heating unit. When the steam turbine extraction volume is insufficient, part of the main steam is used to ensure the subsequent heating effect. Temperature measuring elements are set on the outer surface of the scraper of the heating ash hopper and the public ash conveyor. First, the temperature sensor measures the actual temperature of the steam; then, the actual temperature is compared with the set temperature to calculate the deviation value; then the control quantity is calculated based on the deviation value and the control algorithm; the actuator drives the regulating valve to act according to the control quantity and adjusts the flow of the desuperheating water; finally, the temperature change is monitored in real time through the feedback link to form a closed-loop control. The control algorithm and logic usually adopt the PID (proportional-integral-differential) control algorithm, calculate the control quantity based on the temperature deviation, and eliminate the static error and predict the future trend through the integral and differential terms, so as to achieve the purpose of dynamically tracking the required heating temperature.

A pipe clamp is set every half a meter to ensure that the heating pipes are in full contact with the outer surface of the heating equipment. Fins can be arranged on the heat exchange pipes according to the heat exchange requirements to ensure the heat exchange requirements. A heating steam main pipe is set on the outside of the scraper, and a finished serpentine heating pipe is set on the side of each scraper unit.

The reaction tower, dust collector, and scraper heating main pipe of each production line are equipped with main valves to facilitate equipment inspection and maintenance. All pipelines are equipped with corresponding insulation layers and outer protective plates according to design specifications to reduce heat loss.

[0047] like Figure 3As shown, the ends of each heat tracing pipe are connected to the main drain pipe of the drain unit, and a main drain valve is set before each drain enters the main drain pipe to ensure that the heat tracing and draining of each device are relatively independent, which is convenient for equipment inspection and maintenance. To ensure safety, expansion bends, fixed brackets and sliding brackets are properly set according to the length and direction of the drain pipe to ensure that the pipeline expands in the designed direction and prevent the pipeline from cracking. The main drain pipe valve is always open, and the drain flows into the main drain pipe 802 in the plant area.
