Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of coal-fired power generation, and particularly relates to a differential pressure flowmeter based on a multi-point sampling measurement structure type. Background Technique

[0002] The induced draft fan of a coal-fired power plant is one of the key devices to ensure the normal combustion of a boiler or other combustion equipment. By online monitoring the flow rate of the induced draft fan, its working state can be adjusted in real time, the combustion efficiency can be improved, the fuel consumption can be reduced, and the operation efficiency of the whole power plant can be enhanced. With the increasingly strict environmental protection regulations, power plants need to monitor and report the pollutants they emit more strictly. The online monitoring of the induced draft fan flow rate, as part of the whole monitoring system, can ensure that the power plant can accurately and timely report its flue gas emission situation and meet the relevant regulatory requirements. At the same time, the online monitoring of the induced draft fan flow rate can accurately control the emission volume and emission speed of flue gas, help to adjust the combustion parameters, reduce the generation and emission of pollutants, ensure that the flue gas emission of the power plant meets the national or local environmental protection standards, and reduce the environmental protection risk.

[0003] The induced draft fan of a coal-fired power plant is usually arranged in the high-temperature and high-dust environment of the boiler tail flue. Such harsh environmental conditions pose severe challenges to the stability and reliability of the flow measurement device. In order to improve the accuracy of the online monitoring data of the flow rate and reduce the degree of easy blockage, the utility model optimizes the structure type of the flow measurement device to improve the accuracy of the flow rate test.

[0004] The essence of flue gas flow measurement is velocity measurement, and the actual flue gas flow is obtained based on the average velocity and cross-sectional area of the flue duct section. Among them, the average velocity of the flue duct section is obtained by averaging the velocities at representative points or representative lines and then making reasonable corrections according to theoretical analysis and on-site calibration. Currently, the commonly used measurement methods include the differential pressure method and the ultrasonic method. The differential pressure method belongs to the representative point measurement method, mainly using a Pitot tube, and the S-type Pitot tube has relatively high accuracy, and is arranged in a single-point or multi-point manner according to the flow field distribution; the ultrasonic method belongs to the representative line measurement, and calculates the flue gas velocity on the measurement line by using the time difference between the ultrasonic wave propagating along the flow and against the flow.

[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, a differential pressure flowmeter based on a multi-point sampling measurement structure type provided in this embodiment is characterized by including a total pressure sampler 1, a total pressure pipe 2, and a static pressure pipe 3;

[0035] The total pressure sampler 1 is in an L shape. The total pressure sampler inlet 4 faces the oncoming flow direction and is connected to the total pressure pipe 2 through a total pressure sampler connecting pipe 6. The back of the total pressure pipe 2 is the static pressure pipe 3, and the positions of the static pressure holes of the static pressure pipe 3 correspond one-to-one with the total pressure sampler connecting pipe 6.

[0036] Embodiment 2

[0037] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, a differential pressure flowmeter based on a multi-point sampling measurement structure type provided in this embodiment includes a total pressure sampler 1, a total pressure pipe 2, and a static pressure pipe 3; the total pressure sampler 1 is designed in an L shape; the total pressure sampler inlet 4 faces the oncoming flow direction and is connected to the total pressure pipe 2 through a total pressure sampler connecting pipe 6 to collect total pressure data, and the direction of the total pressure sampler outlet 5 is the same as that of the total pressure pipe 2; part of the flue gas carries flue gas impurities and water vapor and flows out through the total pressure sampler outlet 5; the back of the total pressure pipe 2 is the static pressure pipe 3, and the positions of the static pressure holes correspond one-to-one with the total pressure sampler connecting pipe 6.

[0038] In this embodiment, the value of R2 is determined according to the dust content of the raw flue gas. Considering factors such as installation space, the smaller the sampling measurement structure, the better, but considering problems such as blockage, the size of R2 cannot be too small. Therefore, if the dust content of the raw flue gas is less than 30 mg / Nm during more than half of the operation time of the power plant 3 then R2 = 10 mm, otherwise R2 = 15 mm.

[0041] In this embodiment, two total pressure pipes 2 and static pressure pipes 3 in the horizontal and vertical directions are respectively arranged on the cross-section of a single flue gas pipeline, and the number n of total pressure samplers 1 is set according to the flue duct size L in each direction. When the flue duct size L ≥ 1000 mm, the number n of total pressure samplers 1 = L / 25R2, and n ≤ 8; when the flue duct size L ≤ 1000 mm, the number n of total pressure samplers 1 = 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, further, the flue gas flow rate can be calculated according to the total pressure and static pressure data of the measurement surface where the total pressure sampler 1 is located, and the formula is as follows.
