[0025] In view of the problems in the prior art, the utility model provides a kind of primary cooler de-scaling device, including horizontal pipe type primary cooler 1, horizontal pipe type primary cooler 1 is fixedly installed with cooling water inlet pipe 2, the end of cooling water inlet pipe 2 is fixedly installed with cooling water return valve 5, horizontal pipe type primary cooler 1 is fixedly installed with cooling water return pipe 3, the end of cooling water return pipe 3 is fixedly installed with cooling water inlet valve 4, horizontal pipe type primary cooler 1 is fixedly installed with cooling water return pipe 3, and cooling water inlet pipe 2 is connected in parallel with backwashing water outlet valve 7, and cooling water return pipe 3 is connected in parallel with gas-water pulse flow water inlet valve 6.
[0026] In summary, by connecting the air-water pulse flow up water valve 6 and backwash back water valve 7 on the cooling water up water pipe 2 and cooling water back water pipe 3, cleaning is carried out by mixed air-water pulse, which is more simple and efficient when cleaning the primary cooler pipeline, is beneficial to improve the service life of the primary cooler, and achieves the effect of reducing cost and increasing efficiency
[0027] The end of the air-water pulse flow up water valve 6 is provided with an air-water mixing device 11, an ultrasonic flow meter 12 and a gas flow meter 16. The other end of the ultrasonic flow meter 12 is connected with a ball valve 13 through a pipeline. The other side of the gas flow meter 16 is connected with a pressure stabilizing device 17 through a pipeline. The other end of the pressure stabilizing device 17 is connected with an air compressor 18 through a pipeline. The air-water mixing device 11 comprises a main pipe section 19, a backwash water inlet interface 20, a backwash air inlet interface 21, a pressure sensor interface 22 and a flow guide plate 23. The axes of the backwash water inlet interface 20 and the backwash air inlet interface 21 have a 30-degree angle with the axis of the main pipe section 19. The flow guide plate 23 is located at the intersection of the axes of the backwash water inlet interface 20 and the backwash air inlet interface 21. The pressure sensor interface 22 is opened above the main pipe section 19. The main pipe section 19 is connected with the air-water pulse flow up water valve 6 through a pipeline. The backwash water inlet interface 20 is connected with the ultrasonic flow meter 12 through a pipeline. The backwash air inlet interface 21 is connected with the gas flow meter 16 through a pipeline.
[0028] In summary, the ultrasonic flow meter 12 and the gas flow meter 16 accurately calculate the water flow and the gas flow in this process, so that the ratio of air and water can reach the best state, and the cleaning ability is improved.
[0029] A first pressure sensor 8 for detecting water pressure is fixedly installed on the cooling water up water pipe 2. A second pressure sensor 10 for detecting water pressure is fixedly installed on the cooling water back water pipe 3. A differential pressure sensor 9 is installed between the second pressure sensor 10 and the first pressure sensor 8. The differential pressure sensor 9, the second pressure sensor 10 and the first pressure sensor 8 are all connected with a data acquisition box 14 through signal lines. The data acquisition box 14 is connected with a computer 15 through a signal line.
[0030] In summary, the first pressure sensor 8 and the second pressure sensor 10 will detect the pressure of the cooling water. The differential pressure sensor 9 can compare the water pressure in and out of the pipeline in real time. Then, the computer 15 is used for calculation. The state of the pipeline is quickly detected and analyzed to judge the scaling state of the primary cooler pipeline. The effect that whether the primary cooler pipeline needs to be cleaned can be quickly and timely judged is achieved.
[0031] Working principle:
[0032] First, the cooling water inlet valve 4, the cooling water outlet valve 5, the air-water pulse flow inlet valve 6, the backwash outlet valve 7, the ultrasonic flow meter 12, the ball valve 13, the computer 15, the gas flow meter 16 and the air compressor 18 are connected to the PLC control system. When the cooling water enters the horizontal pipe type primary cooler 1 from the cooling water inlet pipe 2 and is discharged from the cooling water outlet pipe 3, the first pressure sensor 8 and the second pressure sensor 10 detect the pressure of the cooling water. The differential pressure sensor 9 compares the pressure of the water flowing in and out of the pipe in real time. Then, the computer 15 calculates the state of the pipe to determine the fouling state of the primary cooler pipe. When the computer 15 determines that the pipe needs to be cleaned, the computer 15 controls the PLC control system to close the cooling water outlet valve 5 and the cooling water inlet valve 4, open the air-water pulse flow inlet valve 6, the backwash outlet valve 7 and the ball valve 13 (the other end of the ball valve 13 is connected to the water supply mechanism, which can be a pressurized water source of the cooling water supply system), and start the air compressor 18. After the air compressor 18 is started, it injects compressed air into the pressure stabilizing device 17. The pressure stabilizing device 17 adjusts the pressure of the compressed air and then makes the compressed air pass through the gas flow meter 16 and enter the air-water mixing device 11. After the ball valve 13 is opened, the water flow passes through the ultrasonic flow meter 12 and enters the air-water mixing device 11. The air and water are mixed in the air-water mixing device 11, and the air-water mixture formed by the mixing enters the horizontal pipe type primary cooler 1 from the cooling water outlet pipe 3 and is discharged from the cooling water inlet pipe 2. In this process, the air-water mixture in the pipe produces turbulent flow, which generates impact by air bubble breaking and flow scouring effect on the pipe, causing the scale, rust and other attachments on the inner surface of the primary cooler cooling water pipe to break off and enter the filter in the outlet pipe.
[0033] Second, the ultrasonic flow meter 12 and the gas flow meter 16 accurately calculate the water flow and gas flow during the process, so that the ratio of air to water can be optimized. After cleaning is completed, the components are reset, and the first pressure sensor 8, the differential pressure sensor 9 and the second pressure sensor 10 detect the pressure of the water flow in the pipe again to timely understand the completion of the cleaning and evaluate the cost benefit of the cleaning effect.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present application and are not limiting. Those skilled in the art can make other different forms of changes or variations based on the above description. Here, it is not necessary or possible to exhaust all the embodiments. The obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the scope of the present application.
