Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of boiler flue gas treatment technology, and is a water pipe leakage detection device for boiler flue gas treatment. Background Technology
[0002] The flue gas emitted from thermal power plant boilers contains fly ash (PM), unburned carbon particles (PM), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). x To meet environmental protection requirements and ensure the reusability of energy, thermal power plants use electrostatic precipitators to first remove dust from boiler flue gas, and then use desulfurization and denitrification devices to treat the flue gas for desulfurization and denitrification.
[0003] The flue gas temperature emitted from coal-fired boilers in thermal power plants ranges from approximately 180℃ to 410℃, exceeding the maximum operating temperature of electrostatic precipitators (ESPs). Therefore, heat exchangers are used to cool the boiler exhaust gas. These heat exchangers contain heat exchange tubes, and condensate circulating within them cools the flue gas. However, due to the narrowing of the flue gas inlet at the boiler exhaust duct leading to the heat exchanger inlet, the flue gas velocity increases, accelerating wear on the heat exchange tubes. After prolonged operation, leaks may occur in the heat exchange tubes, allowing water to flow into the flue gas, increasing the flue gas humidity and affecting the dust removal efficiency of the subsequent ESP process. Severe leaks in the heat exchange tubes can cause a short circuit within the ESP, halting flue gas dust removal. Troubleshooting such malfunctions requires significant time from staff to inspect and analyze the equipment throughout the production process, determine the cause of the malfunction, develop a repair plan, and resolve the production failure before the flue gas treatment system can be restarted.
[0004] In summary, investigating the causes of accidents in the flue gas treatment systems of coal-fired boilers in thermal power plants consumes a significant amount of time, reducing the efficiency of these systems and becoming a difficult technical problem for thermal power plant enterprises to solve.

Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 The orientation of the layout is determined by the direction of the map.
[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings:
[0026] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1As shown, the water pipe leakage detection device for boiler flue gas treatment includes a flue gas channel conductive pipe 1, a maintenance platform 2, a conductive detection rod 3, and a conductive probe 4. The flue gas channel conductive pipe 1 is a horizontal pipe. The two ends of the conductive detection rod 3 are horizontally fixed to the inner wall of the flue gas channel conductive pipe 1 by insulating support frames 5. Vertically downward conductive probes 4 are arranged on the conductive detection rod 3 at intervals on the left and right. There is a gap between the bottom of the conductive probe 4 and the bottom wall 6 of the flue gas channel conductive pipe 1. A maintenance platform 7 is set on the bottom wall 6 of the flue gas channel conductive pipe 1 in front of the conductive probe 4. An anti-interference device is set on the bottom wall 6 between the maintenance platform 7 and the conductive probe 4.
[0027] As required, as attached Figure 1 As shown, the front end of the conductive tube 1 in the dust channel is the smoke inlet 23, and the rear end of the conductive tube 1 in the dust channel is the smoke outlet 24. The conductive probe 3 and the conductive probe 4 can be cylindrical or tubular. The conductive tube 1 in the dust channel, the conductive probe 3 and the conductive probe 4 can be made of conductive metal or non-metal materials. The insulating support frame 5 can be an insulating hanging frame or an insulating support frame. The insulating support frame 5 is used to horizontally fix the conductive probe 3 to the inner wall of the conductive tube 1 in the dust channel and to insulate the conductive probe 3 from the conductive tube 1 in the dust channel. Dust accumulates on the bottom wall 6. The conductive probe 4 comes into contact with the dust. Once the dust is wetted by water seepage, the conductive probe 3 can achieve electrical conduction with the conductive tube 1 in the dust channel.
[0028] As needed, staff can inspect or repair the conductive detection rod 3 and conductive probe 4 on the maintenance platform 7. The water pipe leak detection device for boiler flue gas treatment described above can be further optimized and / or improved according to actual needs.
[0029] Example 2: Its difference from Example 1 is as follows: (See attached) Figure 1 As shown, the anti-interference device includes an insulating base plate 8 and a barrier plate 9. The insulating base plate 8 is laid on the bottom wall 6 between the maintenance platform 7 and the conductive probe 4, and a vertical barrier plate 9 is installed between the insulating base plate 8 and the maintenance platform 7.
[0030] As needed, maintenance personnel often leave behind wires, welding rods, and other metal objects on the maintenance platform 7. The insulating base plate 8 and the vertical barrier plate 9 can prevent the metal objects on the maintenance platform 7 from interfering with the detection of the conductive probe 4.
[0031] Example 3: Its difference from Examples 1 to 2 is as follows: (See attached) Figure 1 As shown, the lengths of the insulating base plate 8 and the barrier plate 9 are both greater than the length of the conductive probe 3.
[0032] Example 4: Its difference from Examples 1 to 3 is as follows: (See attached) Figure 1As shown, it also includes a controller, and the conductive detection rod 3 and the conductive tube 1 of the smoke and dust channel are all electrically connected to the controller.
[0033] Example 5: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the boiler dust treatment device includes a boiler 10, a waste heat exchanger 11, a dust collector 12, and a water pipe leakage detection device for boiler dust treatment. The inlet of the waste heat exchanger 11 is fixedly connected to a dust channel conductive pipe 1. A first dust channel pipeline 13 is fixedly connected between the top flue gas outlet of the boiler 10 and the flue gas inlet of the dust channel conductive pipe 1. A second dust channel pipeline 14 is fixedly connected between the flue gas outlet of the waste heat exchanger 11 and the flue gas inlet of the dust collector 12. The flue gas outlet of the dust collector 12 is fixedly connected to an exhaust pipe 15.
[0034] As needed, attached Figure 1 The front end of the conductive pipe 1 in the flue gas channel is the flue gas inlet 23, with attached... Figure 1 The rear port of the conductive tube 1 in the middle smoke and dust channel is the smoke outlet 24.
[0035] Depending on the requirements, the waste heat exchanger 11 can be a finned tube heat exchanger, which has high cooling efficiency for high-temperature flue dust. The dust collector 12 can be an electrostatic precipitator, which has a better dust removal effect on boiler flue dust. The water pipe leakage detection device for boiler flue dust treatment can detect water leakage faults in the waste heat exchanger 11 in real time.
[0036] The above-mentioned boiler flue gas treatment device can be further optimized and / or improved according to actual needs:
[0037] Example 6: Its difference from Example 5 is as follows: (See attached) Figure 2 As shown, the waste heat exchanger 11 includes a tube side 16 and a shell side 17. A condensate inlet pipeline 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the waste heat exchanger 11, and the outlet of the condensate inlet pipeline 18 is fixedly connected to the inlet of the tube side 116. A condensate return pipeline 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the waste heat exchanger 11, and the outlet of the tube side 16 is fixedly connected to the inlet of the condensate return pipeline 19.
[0038] As required, the tube side 16 includes several tubes. Due to the high temperature and dust environment in the shell side 17 and the circulating condensate in the tube side 16, the tube side 16 is prone to corrosion, leakage and damage. Once the tube side 16 leaks, the condensate in the tube side 16 seeps into the dust on the bottom wall 6 (a large amount of dust accumulates on the bottom and bottom wall 6 of the waste heat exchanger 11). When the conductive probe 4 comes into contact with the wet dust, the conductive probe rod 3 can achieve electrical connection with the conductive tube 1 of the dust channel.
[0039] Example 7: It differs from Examples 5 to 6 in that: as shown in the appendix Figure 2As shown, the smoke inlet of the shell side 17 is fixedly connected to the smoke and dust channel conductive pipe 1, and the smoke outlet of the shell side 17 is fixedly connected to the smoke inlet of the dust collector 12 via a second smoke and dust pipeline 14.
[0040] Example 8: It differs from Examples 5 to 7 in that: as shown in the appendix Figure 2 As shown, a control valve 20 and a first temperature gauge 21 are fixedly installed on the condensate inlet pipeline 18 in sequence according to the direction of medium flow.
[0041] Example 9: It differs from Examples 5 to 8 in that: as shown in the appendix Figure 2 As shown, a second thermometer 22 is fixedly installed on the second dust duct pipeline 14.
[0042] Example 10: It differs from Examples 5 to 9 in that: as shown in the appendix Figure 2 As shown, control valve 20, first thermometer 21, and second thermometer 22 are all electrically connected to the controller.
[0043] Depending on the needs, the pipelines and equipment of this boiler flue gas treatment device may also be equipped with conventional valves, thermometers, and pressure gauges known and commonly used in the field, according to production requirements. The controller is a PLC controller, and the model of the PLC controller can be GL-FJ-XL01. The Xinhua XDPS6000 DCS control system is installed in the PLC controller.
[0044] After this utility model is put into operation, it can efficiently and accurately detect water pipe leaks (leaks in several condensate tubes in the waste heat exchanger) in the boiler flue gas treatment system, reduce the economic losses caused by water pipe leaks to the boiler flue gas treatment system, and improve the safe operation and productivity of the boiler flue gas treatment system.
[0045] The above technical features constitute various embodiments of the present invention, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect. Unnecessary technical features can be added or removed according to actual needs to meet the needs of different situations.
[0046] The usage process of this utility model is as follows: (see attached) Figure 2 As shown, firstly, the high-temperature flue gas emitted from the top of the boiler 10 enters the shell side 17 of the waste heat exchanger 11 through the first flue gas channel pipeline 13 and the flue gas channel conductive pipe 1. The circulating condensate in the tube side 16 condenses and cools the high-temperature flue gas flowing in the shell side 17. Next, the low-temperature flue gas cooled by the waste heat exchanger 11 enters the dust collector 12 through the second flue gas channel pipeline 14 for dust removal. Finally, the flue gas after being removed by the dust collector 12 enters the downstream process system through the exhaust pipeline 15 for flue gas treatment (desulfurization or denitrification).
[0047] The use of the above-mentioned utility model also includes: as shown in the appendix Figure 1 ,2 As shown, when a leak occurs in tube 16 (a series of tubes), the condensate in tube 16 leaks into the dust on the bottom wall of the waste heat exchanger 11. The bottom end of the conductive probe 4 comes into contact with the damp dust, and the conductive probe 3 is electrically connected to the conductive tube 1 of the dust channel. The staff learns from the controller that a leak has occurred in tube 16 and then inspects and repairs tube 16.
