Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of condenser operation and maintenance equipment, in particular to a condenser circulating water scaling detection device. Background Art

[0002] In thermal power generation, chemical production and large-scale industrial cooling systems, condensers are important heat exchange equipment, and their performance directly affects the operating efficiency and safety of the entire system. The condenser condenses steam into water and recovers its latent heat of vaporization through heat exchange between circulating water and steam. However, after long-term operation, impurities, minerals and microorganisms in the circulating water will be deposited on the inner wall of the condenser and the circulating water pipeline to form scale. These scales will not only reduce the heat exchange efficiency and increase energy consumption, but may also cause local overheating, corrosion and other problems, seriously affecting the stable operation and service life of the equipment;

[0003] In order to avoid unnecessary damage to the internal structure of the condenser, the condenser needs to be cleaned and descaled regularly. However, the activation of each condenser equipment is not the same, which means that it is not necessary to clean the condenser with a low activation rate regularly. Therefore, the thickness of the condenser inner wall structure can be tested before cleaning. Existing online scaling detection equipment mostly relies on ultrasonic, laser, infrared and other sensor technologies to indirectly evaluate the degree of scaling by measuring parameters such as thickness changes and reflection characteristics of the inner wall of the pipeline or a specific area.

[0004] However, these devices often have problems such as complex installation, high maintenance costs, and susceptibility to environmental interference, which make it difficult to meet the actual needs of industrial sites. Therefore, we need to reduce the structural complexity of the detection equipment and achieve the purpose of scaling thickness detection. Utility Model Content
