Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of slurry bed reactors, in particular to a device for inspecting defects of heat exchange tubes inside a slurry bed reactor. Background Art
[0002] In the routine maintenance and defect inspection of the heat exchange tubes inside the slurry bed reactor, the traditional method often involves cutting the inlet and outlet pipelines of the heat exchange tubes and then sealing them with welding plugs to perform pressure filling and leak detection. However, this method has several significant disadvantages and limitations in practical applications.
[0003] First, the cutting and welding of heat exchange tubes is a heavy workload, which not only increases maintenance costs, but also prolongs downtime, seriously affecting production efficiency and economic benefits. In addition, since heat exchange tubes are usually arranged closely and the operating space is limited, cutting and welding work becomes particularly difficult, further increasing the complexity and risk of the operation.
[0004] Secondly, the inlet and outlet pipelines of the heat exchange tubes are pressure pipelines. Once cutting and welding operations are performed, it is easy to introduce new stress concentration areas, resulting in pipeline stress imbalance, and then new leaks or defects. This may not only aggravate the deterioration of the original defects, but also pose a serious threat to the safe operation of the entire reactor.
[0005] Finally, when there are flammable, explosive, toxic and hazardous materials on site, hot work and confined space work will bring great safety risks. Once these materials leak or cause fire, explosion and other accidents, it will cause immeasurable losses to personnel safety, equipment safety and environmental safety.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new device for inspecting defects of internal heat exchange tubes in a slurry bed reactor to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] The working principle of the internal heat exchange tube defect inspection device of the slurry bed reactor provided by the utility model is as follows:
[0032] 1. Device composition and core functions
[0033] Reactor body 1: A heat exchanger 2 consisting of a number of dry in-line pipes is symmetrically installed inside.
[0034] Air pump 3: docked at one side of the heat exchanger 2, used for pressing the inside of the heat exchanger 2.
[0035] Connecting seat 4: designed to be detachable, installed on one side of the heat exchanger 2, and used to connect the water tank 5 and the nozzle 6.
[0036] Water tank 5: The water tank is filled with foam water and is connected to nozzle 6.
[0037] Nozzle 6: installed on the connecting seat 4, used for spraying foam water.
[0038] 2. Workflow
[0039] Initial pressurization and pressure holding to check for leaks:
[0040] The air pump 3 is started to pressurize the interior of the heat exchanger 2 so that the internal pressure reaches 0.4-0.7 MPa.
[0041] After the pressure is charged, close the air pump 3 and all related valves to hold the pressure and check for leaks.
[0042] The inspection pass standard is: within 8 hours, the pressure drop of heat exchanger 2 is less than 0.001MPa. If the pressure drop is greater than 0.001MPa, it indicates that heat exchanger 2 may have leakage or defects, and further detailed inspection using this device is required.
[0043] Detailed defect inspection:
[0044] If the initial pressure charging and pressure holding leak detection show that the heat exchanger 2 has potential defects, the connecting seat 4 is installed on one side of the heat exchanger 2.
[0045] Open the connecting valve between the water tank 5 and the nozzle 6 to allow the foam water to be sprayed onto the heat exchange tubes through the nozzle 6.
[0046] The nozzle 6 is designed as an angle-adjustable nozzle to adapt to heat exchange tubes at different angles.
[0047] Observe the flow of foam water on the heat exchange tubes. If there are defects in the heat exchange tubes such as corrosion, perforation, cracks, etc., the foam water will flow abnormally or accumulate at the defects.
[0048] By observing these abnormal phenomena, it is possible to accurately determine whether there are defects in the heat exchange tubes.
[0049] 3. Auxiliary institutions and functions
[0050] Fixed frame 41 and movable frame 42: The threaded rod 44 and the pulley 43 are used to realize the movement and positioning of the connecting seat 4, so as to facilitate the inspection of different heat exchange tubes.
[0051] Reciprocating screw 51 and folding airbag 53: Through the rotation of the reciprocating screw 51, the slider 54 is driven to reciprocate in the stroke groove 52, so that the folding airbag 53 continuously injects air into the water tank 5, increasing the air pressure in the water tank 5 to ensure that the foam water can be sprayed smoothly.
[0052] Sprocket 7 and chain: Through the transmission connection between the sprocket 7 and the chain, the synchronous movement of the driving source and the reciprocating screw rod 51 is achieved, ensuring the coordinated operation of the entire device.
