AI Technical Summary
Existing furnace flame position estimation systems for thermal power units rely on closed-circuit television image monitoring, which cannot accurately capture the distribution characteristics of flames in the furnace depth direction. This results in time delays and subjective errors, and the equipment is prone to damage, leading to monitoring blind spots and inaccurate combustion control.
Infrared detection components and multiple sensors are installed along the outer wall of the furnace. Combined with signal processing circuits and microprocessors, the three-dimensional spatial estimation of the flame position is performed. The furnace temperature field is obtained through data acquisition and infrared temperature measurement units. Dynamic estimation is achieved using the flame position estimation module. The fuel and air volume are adjusted in a closed loop through the output distribution module to achieve automatic control.
It significantly reduces fluctuations in steam temperature and pressure, improves combustion efficiency, reduces the workload of operators, and enables precise sensing and automatic control of the furnace flame position.
