[0031] Referring to Figures 1 to 5The embodiment provides a device for dredging the blockage of high-pressure air coolers, which comprises two groups of high-pressure air cooler bodies, namely A101A / B and A101C / D; each of the high-pressure air cooler bodies comprises an air cooler pipe box 1, and a plurality of finned pipes 2 are arranged in the air cooler pipe box 1; each high-pressure air cooler body is connected with two motors 18; a serpentine metal bent pipe 3 is arranged on the upper surface of the air cooler pipe box 1 of each high-pressure air cooler body, and the serpentine metal bent pipe 3 is in close contact with the finned pipe 2 on the air cooler pipe box 1. One end of the serpentine metal bent pipe 3 is connected with a steam pipe 4; a stop valve 5 for adjusting the steam flow is arranged on the steam pipe 4; and the steam pipe 4 is used for introducing 0.5mpa steam.

When it is needed to dredge the blocked finned pipe 2 on line, the stop valve 5 is opened, 0.5mpa steam is introduced into the serpentine metal bent pipe 3 through the steam pipe 4, the finned pipe 2 is heated, the aluminum plate 6 is pulled and spread together with the fireproof cotton blanket 7 through the handle 8, the aluminum plate 6 covers the serpentine metal bent pipe 3 above to keep warm, and when it is not needed to dredge, the aluminum plate 6 can be pushed up and folded through the handle 8, so that the finned pipe 2 is ventilated and cooled. The folding and unfolding degrees of the aluminum plate 6 can be controlled through the handle 8, the temperature of the finned pipe 2 is increased to a temperature above the heavy oil wax condensation point, and the heavy oil wax in the finned pipe is melted and taken out by hot high-pressure gas.
[0033] The two groups of high-pressure air cooler bodies A101A / B and A101C / D are connected with two outlet pipelines 9 and two inlet pipelines 10, the two inlet pipelines 10 of A101A / B and A101C / D are connected with a hot high-pressure gas inlet pipeline 11; the two outlet pipelines 9 of A101A / B are connected with a hot high-pressure gas outlet pipeline 13 through a first branch pipe 12, the two outlet pipelines 9 of A101C / D are connected with the hot high-pressure gas outlet pipeline 13 through a second branch pipe 14; outlet pipe remote temperature sensors 15 are arranged on the two outlet pipelines 9 of A101A / B and A101C / D, outlet convergence pipe remote temperature sensors 16 are arranged on the first branch pipe 12 and the second branch pipe 14; and a total outlet convergence pipe remote temperature sensor 17 is arranged on the hot high-pressure gas outlet pipeline 13.
[0034] When the finned tube 2 in one of the high-pressure air coolers is blocked, the two motors 18 connected to the high-pressure air cooler body A101A / B are stopped, 0.5 MPa steam is introduced into the serpentine metal pipe 3 of the high-pressure air cooler body A101A / B, the steam flow is adjusted by the stop valve 5, the corresponding aluminum plate 6 is pulled by the handle 8 to cover the serpentine metal pipe 3, so that the temperature of the tube bundle of the finned tube 2 is increased to 90-100 DEG C, and the heavy oil wax in the finned tube 2 is melted and taken out to the rear system by the hot high-pressure gas until the infrared thermal imager detects that the tube bundle is unblocked.
[0035] During the dredging process, the temperature of the four outlet pipe remote temperature sensors 15 is monitored every hour, the temperature of the two outlet pipes 9 of the A101A / B is ensured to be not more than 100 DEG C, the temperature of the two outlet pipes 9 of the A101C / D is ensured to be not more than 55 DEG C, the temperature detected by the two outlet pipe remote temperature sensors 16 and the total outlet pipe remote temperature sensor 17 is strictly monitored by the monitoring personnel, the temperature of the first branch pipe 12 is ensured to be not more than 100 DEG C, the temperature of the second branch pipe 14 is ensured to be not more than 55 DEG C, and the temperature of the high-pressure gas outlet pipe 13 is ensured to be not more than 60 DEG C, so as to ensure the normal operation of the centrifugal machine in the rear system.

[0036] Before the air cooler is dredged, when the high-load working condition is running, all the four motors 18 of the two high-pressure air coolers cannot reduce the temperature to the normal temperature control range, and the temperature is maintained by spraying desalted water, which causes the air-cooled motor to be easily watered, the operation risk of the motor 18 is great, and the system has great risk to the safe and stable operation. After the device is dredged, the four air cooler motors 18 only need to start 2 to control the outlet temperature of the air cooler in the normal range. The use of desalted water and the power consumption cost is reduced, the system operation is stabilized, and the time and money wasted by large-scale parking treatment problems are avoided.
[0037] The above is a further detailed description of the present application in combination with a specific preferred embodiment, which cannot be regarded as limiting the specific embodiments of the present application to this, and for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field to which the present application belongs, without departing from the present application, a number of simple deductions or substitutions can be made, which should be regarded as belonging to the scope of patent protection determined by the claims submitted by the present application.
