Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of large-scale thermal power generation steam turbine units, specifically, it relates to a feedwater oxygenation system for the thermal system of a thermal power unit. Background Technology

[0002] Boiler feedwater oxygenation is an advanced process to alleviate scaling on the heating surfaces of supercritical boilers, deposition corrosion of turbine flow components, and accelerated corrosion of the drainage system. It is also an effective measure to reduce the large amount of chemical reagents used in thermal power production and to reduce the discharge of acid and alkaline wastewater. Existing feedwater oxygenation technologies are segmented, targeting low-pressure feedwater systems, high-pressure feedwater systems, or high-pressure heater drainage systems. They fail to truly achieve metal passivation protection covering the entire steam-water flow path of the thermal system, especially lacking oxygenation technology specifically for low-pressure drainage systems. In fact, taking supercritical units as an example, the temperature of the low-pressure drainage system is typically between 100℃ and 200℃, a key area for corrosion of metals such as carbon steel. Furthermore, two-point oxygenation technology requires opening the deaerator's exhaust valve, making it impossible to achieve oxygenation passivation protection for the deaerator itself.

[0003] In addition, large thermal power units are facing the challenge of flexible peak shaving when new energy sources come online. As the unit load rises and falls rapidly, the feedwater flow fluctuates accordingly, causing large fluctuations in the dissolved oxygen content of the water-steam system. Existing oxygenation technology cannot achieve intelligent operation of feedwater oxygenation treatment under flexible peak shaving. Utility Model Content

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0031] Before describing the various embodiments of this application in detail, the technical concept of this application is first briefly described: Currently, when oxygenating boiler feedwater, it is difficult to achieve comprehensive and full-process coverage of the entire thermal system, and the adjustment of oxygenation technology cannot achieve flexible peak shaving. Therefore, the feedwater oxygenation system for thermal power units provided in this application introduces oxygen-enriched water into each oxygenation inlet through four oxygenation branches. Based on the different characteristics of the system to be oxygenated, the oxygen content is intelligently adjusted through the DCS control cabinet, achieving segmented and precise oxygenation operation. This truly realizes metal passivation protection covering the entire water-steam process range of the thermal system, effectively solving the problem of intelligent operation of feedwater oxygenation under flexible peak shaving in large thermal power units. The specific principle of the feedwater oxygenation system for thermal power units of this application will be described below with reference to more embodiments.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the feedwater oxygenation system of the thermal power unit in this embodiment includes a solubilizer 10, an air inlet pipe 20, a water inlet pipe 30, a low-pressure feedwater oxygenation branch 40, a high-pressure feedwater oxygenation branch 50, a high-pressure heater condensate oxygenation branch 60, a low-pressure heater condensate oxygenation branch 70, and a DCS control cabinet 80. The solubilizer has an air inlet, a water inlet, and a drain outlet. The solubilizer is used to prepare oxygen-enriched water from demineralized water and oxygen. Air inlet pipe 20 is connected to the air inlet to supply oxygen to the solubilizer 10; water inlet pipe 30 is connected to the water inlet to supply demineralized water to the solubilizer 10; low-pressure feedwater oxygenation branch 40 is connected to the drain outlet and the low-pressure feedwater system oxygenation inlet; high-pressure feedwater oxygenation branch 50 is connected to the drain outlet and the high-pressure feedwater system oxygenation inlet; high-pressure heater condensate oxygenation branch 60 is connected to the drain outlet and the low-pressure heater condensate oxygenation inlet; low-pressure heater condensate oxygenation branch 70 is connected to the drain outlet and the high-pressure heater condensate oxygenation inlet; the DCS control cabinet is used to control the start / stop and feedwater flow rate of low-pressure feedwater oxygenation branch 40, high-pressure feedwater oxygenation branch 50, high-pressure heater condensate oxygenation branch 60, and low-pressure heater condensate oxygenation branch 70 respectively. DCS control cabinet 80 is used to control the start / stop and water flow rate of low-pressure water supply oxygenation branch 40, high-pressure water supply oxygenation branch 50, high-pressure heater condensate oxygenation branch 60, and low-pressure heater condensate oxygenation branch 70 respectively. Figure 1 The dashed lines in the diagram represent the DCS control cabinet 80 communicating with various devices via branch lines, while the solid lines represent the connections between the devices via pipelines to deliver oxygen-enriched water.

[0033] In one or more embodiments, the water supply oxygenation system further includes an online dissolved oxygen measurement branch 90, which is connected to the drain outlet for measuring the oxygen content of the oxygen-enriched water. The online dissolved oxygen measurement branch 90 is also connected to the DCS control cabinet via a branch line for communication. In the direction of oxygen-enriched water flow within the online dissolved oxygen measurement branch 90, the branch includes, in sequence, an instrument valve 91, a float flowmeter 92, and an online dissolved oxygen meter 93, which is connected to the DCS control cabinet 80 via a branch line for communication. The solubility value measured by the online dissolved oxygen meter 93 is transmitted to the DCS control cabinet 80, which adjusts the actions of each branch line based on the solubility value. When the solubility value deviates from the dissolved oxygen setting range, the automatic interlocking deaerator operates, and the exhaust valve regulating valve activates, enabling the start and stop of the intelligent oxygenation equipment in the high-pressure water supply system. Furthermore, the water supply oxygenation system also includes a pressure sensor PT, which is connected to the drain outlet and is also connected to the DCS control cabinet via a branch line for communication.

[0034] In one or more embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, along the oxygen-enriched water flow direction within the low-pressure feedwater oxygenation branch 40, the low-pressure feedwater oxygenation branch 40 includes a ball valve, a Y-type filter, an electric shut-off valve, and a flow sensor arranged in sequence. The shut-off valve is connected to the DCS control cabinet via a branch line communication. The DCS control cabinet 80 is used to control the flow rate of the electric shut-off valve.

[0035] In one or more embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, along the flow direction of oxygen-enriched water in the high-pressure feedwater oxygenation branch, the high-pressure feedwater oxygenation branch includes, in sequence, a ball valve, a Y-type filter, a booster pump, a ball valve, a check valve, a pressure indicator, an electric ball valve, and a check valve. The booster pump and the electric ball valve are respectively connected to the DCS control cabinet via branch lines. The DCS control cabinet is used to control the flow rate of the electric ball valve and to regulate the booster pump. The high-pressure feedwater oxygenation branch, through the booster pump power source and automatic logic switching valve, sequentially achieves the purpose of continuous oxygenation along the water-steam circulation system flow: deaerator A / B downcomer pipes → #3 high-pressure heater and its pipes → #2 high-pressure heater and its pipes → #1 high-pressure heater and its pipes → economizer and its pipes → water-cooled wall and its pipes → steam-water separator.

[0036] In one or more embodiments, along the flow direction of oxygen-enriched water in the low-pressure hydrophobic oxygenation branch, the low-pressure hydrophobic oxygenation branch includes, in sequence, a ball valve, a Y-type filter, a booster pump, a plunger pump, a flow sensor, a pressure indicator, an electric ball valve, and a check valve. The booster pump, flow sensor, and electric ball valve are each connected to a DCS control cabinet via branch lines. The DCS control cabinet is used to control the flow rate of the electric ball valve and to regulate the booster pump. Along the flow direction of oxygen-enriched water in the high-pressure hydrophobic oxygenation branch, the high-pressure hydrophobic oxygenation branch includes, in sequence, a ball valve, a Y-type filter, a booster pump, a plunger pump, a flow sensor, a pressure indicator, an electric ball valve, and a check valve. The booster pump, flow sensor, and electric ball valve are each connected to a DCS control cabinet via branch lines. The DCS control cabinet is used to control the flow rate of the electric ball valve and to regulate the booster pump.

[0037] The aforementioned low-pressure heater / high-pressure heater condensate and oxygenation branch, powered by a booster pump and an automatic logic switch, sequentially achieves the oxygenation purpose along the condensate collection system process: #8 low-pressure heater condensate pipe → #7 low-pressure heater condensate pipe → #6 low-pressure heater condensate pipe → #5 low-pressure heater condensate pipe, and #3 high-pressure heater condensate pipe → #2 high-pressure heater condensate pipe → #1 high-pressure heater condensate pipe.

[0038] Each regulating valve actuator on the above-mentioned branch is connected to the DCS program integrated control screen via branch communication, and is mainly associated with the unit feedwater flow signal. Each actuator is also associated with the deaerator inlet, economizer inlet / steam-water separator outlet, and low / high condensate online O2 meter in the centralized water and steam sampling system. It is also interlocked with the economizer inlet online CC meter for protection. When the oxygenation protection is deactivated, it switches in reverse to the feedwater ammonia pump to increase the frequency, realizing intelligent switching between feedwater AVT(O) and OT water conditions.

[0039] The feedwater oxygenation system for thermal power units provided in this application has the following beneficial effects: (1) It truly achieves metal passivation protection covering the entire steam-water flow range of the thermal system, especially for oxygenation technology in low-pressure condensate systems. In fact, taking supercritical units as an example, the temperature of low-pressure condensate systems is usually between 100℃ and 200℃, which is a key area for corrosion of metals such as carbon steel. (2) The intelligent oxygenation equipment for high-pressure feedwater systems automatically opens the deaerator's exhaust valve, realizing oxygenation passivation protection for the deaerator body. (3) It effectively solves the problem of intelligent operation of feedwater oxygenation treatment under flexible peak shaving of large thermal power units.

Although some embodiments have been shown and described, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications and improvements can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application as defined by the claims and their equivalents, and such modifications and improvements should also be within the protection scope of this application.
