Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of temperature control equipment technology, specifically to a sensor-based temperature control system. Background Technology

[0002] The #2 bearing of the SAIC 1,000 MW ultra-supercritical double reheat turbine unit houses the turbine's most critical shaft displacement and overspeed protection sensors. Because this area is located near the high-pressure cylinder shaft seal and high-temperature metal components of the turbine, and this unit model suffers from a common shaft seal leakage problem, the temperature in this area reaches 130℃ during unit operation, almost reaching the sensor's maximum design temperature resistance. Therefore, the shaft displacement and speed sensors operate in a high-temperature environment for extended periods, leading to aging and malfunctions in the probes and extension cables. Given the high cost of these sensors and their crucial role in the unit's protection, resolving this challenge is of great significance for unit safety and reducing equipment maintenance costs.

[0003] The existing cooling method for the ambient temperature at the bearing of the #2 unit of the SAIC 1000 MW ultra-supercritical double reheat unit in the power plant is axial flow cooling fan cooling, which has a wide air supply range but relatively low air pressure. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 This type of unit suffers from a common problem of shaft seal leakage at bearing #2, with a significant amount of leakage. The space in this area has a certain positive pressure, and due to the limited airflow of the axial cooling fan, the airflow cannot cover the entire area around the sensor. This type of cooling method is ineffective in confined spaces or areas with poor airflow, failing to facilitate air exchange and remove heat. It cannot effectively reduce the ambient temperature around the sensor, and without a temperature sensor, it cannot monitor the ambient temperature in real time and make corresponding adjustments to the fan. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0020] Please see Figure 1 A temperature control system for a sensor includes a temperature sensor 3 for monitoring the temperature of a shaft displacement and speed sensor 2, and multiple branch pipes 4 with their outlets facing the shaft displacement and speed sensor 2. The multiple branch pipes 4 are all connected to a cooling air source through a main pipe 5. The main pipe 5 is connected to a pneumatic regulating valve 6 for controlling the airflow.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 The temperature sensor 3 is a thermocouple.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 The number of branch pipes 4 is four, and the axial displacement and speed sensors 2 on both sides are respectively arranged opposite two of the branch pipes 4.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 The main pipe 5 has a diameter of DN32, and the branch pipe 4 has a diameter of φ14.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 The temperature sensor 3 and the pneumatic regulating valve 6 are both connected to the controller.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 The controller is connected to an alarm for over-temperature alarm.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 It also includes a cooling fan 7 with multiple air outlets facing the axial displacement and speed sensor 2.

[0027] In practical applications, shaft displacement and speed sensors 2 are installed on both sides of one end of bearing 1. The outlet end of branch pipe 4 is positioned directly opposite shaft displacement and speed sensors 2, outputting cooling gas to them. This cooling airflow covers the shaft displacement and speed sensors 2 and the surrounding environment, achieving temperature-controlled cooling of the area where the sensors 2 are located. The operator sets the temperature via the controller, and the temperature sensor 3 monitors the temperature of the area where the shaft displacement and speed sensors 2 are located in real time. The temperature sensor 3 transmits the collected temperature data to the controller. The controller calculates the difference between the set and collected temperatures and controls the opening of the pneumatic regulating valve 6 based on this difference, thereby achieving precise temperature control of the area monitored by the temperature sensor 3. The controller is also connected to a display and an alarm. The display shows the set data, collected data, and opening data. When the collected temperature exceeds the alarm value, the controller activates the alarm to notify the monitoring personnel of the over-temperature. A filter and pressure reducing device is connected to the input end of the pneumatic regulating valve 6. The main pipe 5 has a diameter of DN32, and the branch pipe 4 has a diameter of φ14, which facilitates installation in confined spaces. Axial flow cooling fan 7 further assists in cooling. The cooling gas in this invention can cover the environment around the shaft displacement and speed sensor 2, and the actual temperature is monitored in real time, effectively improving the cooling effect and solving the environmental temperature problem of the shaft displacement and speed sensor 2.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
