Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for monitoring the condition of pipes carrying water or water vapor at least one heat exchanger arranged in an exhaust gas stream of a waste heat steam generator, in particular, viewed in the downstream direction, one as a superheater, one as an evaporator and a heat exchanger serving as a feed water preheater. Furthermore, the invention relates to a waste heat steam generator with an exhaust gas duct in which at least one heat exchanger having pipes carrying water or steam is arranged, in particular, viewed in the downstream direction, a heat exchanger serving as a superheater, an evaporator and a heat exchanger serving as a feed water preheater.
- Waste heat steam generators which are often also referred to as HRSGs (“Heat Recovery Steam Generator”), are known in different designs in the prior art. They serve to use the hot exhaust gas from an upstream process to generate steam and usually include an exhaust gas duct in which, viewed in the downstream direction, several heat exchangers are arranged, usually in the form of a superheater, an evaporator and a feedwater preheater. Leaks in the heat exchanger pipes carrying water or steam can result in malfunction-related, unannounced downtimes, which must be avoided. Accordingly, it is desirable to be able to identify such leaks as early as possible in order to provide maintenance personnel with sufficient time to locate the position of a leak, determine its extent and plan and carry out the repair work.
- HRSGs Heat Recovery Steam Generator
- acoustic recording systems have been established in this context in which the noise environment of a waste heat steam generator is monitored with a large number of acoustic sensors, which are positioned throughout the entire waste heat steam generator. Leaks cause a change in ambient noise, which is detected by the sensors. Sensors positioned closer to the location of the leak detect stronger noise changes than sensors positioned further away. In this way, a sensory location of a leak is also possible.
- a disadvantage of the known acoustic detection systems is that several hundred sensors have to be arranged and wired distributed across the waste heat steam generator, which is both very complex and expensive.
- the present invention creates a method for monitoring the condition of pipes carrying water or steam at least one heat exchanger arranged in an exhaust gas stream of a waste heat steam generator, in particular, viewed in the downstream direction, one as a superheater, one as an evaporator and a heat exchanger serving as a feed water preheater , characterized in that the presence of water vapor within the exhaust gas stream is automatically detected using sensors ( 18 ) that detect the moisture content of the exhaust gas stream and / or using an optical detection system and, in the event of detection, an alarm is triggered, informing the staff informed of the leak.
- the present invention therefore proposes to use, instead of acoustic sensors, sensors that detect a measurement variable representing the moisture content of the exhaust gas stream, in particular the moisture content of the exhaust gas itself, and/or an optical detection system to detect a pipeline leak.
- a pipeline carrying water or steam leaks parts of the water or of the water vapor into the exhaust gas and in this way cause an increase in the moisture content of the exhaust gas, which is then detected by the sensors.
- the water vapor flow in the exhaust gas which forms a water vapor cloud or water vapor plume that spreads downstream from the location of the leak, can be detected by an optical detection system.
- the sensors used according to the invention have the main advantage that significantly fewer sensors are required, which do not have to be distributed across the waste heat steam generator but only positioned locally within the exhaust gas duct. This results in lower costs and significantly lower maintenance requirements.
- the sensors are preferably moisture sensors, in particular commercially available moisture sensors, which is conducive to a simple and inexpensive technical implementation of the method according to the invention.
- the measured values recorded by the sensors are compared with at least one stored limit value, and if at least one of the recorded measured values exceeds the limit value, the alarm is triggered.
- the predefined limit value is advantageously chosen to be sufficiently high that there is actually a leak with reliable certainty, and sufficiently low that there is still sufficient time to plan and carry out repair work to remedy the leak.
- the sensors record the measured variable at measuring points which are arranged distributed over a, preferably over a single, cross section of the exhaust gas flow.
- Such an arrangement of the sensors is, on the one hand, advantageous in that only comparatively few sensors are required, which means that the structure the recording system is simplified and costs are minimized. On the other hand, such an arrangement also enables a leak to be localized.
- the further away a leak is in the flow direction of the exhaust gas from the position of the sensors the more sensors distributed across the cross section of the exhaust duct will detect an increase in the moisture content.
- the measuring points are preferably arranged in the manner of a grid, evenly distributed over the cross section of the exhaust gas flow, which leads to a simple structure and reliable statements.
- the measuring points are advantageously positioned downstream of the heat exchanger through which the exhaust gas stream last flows, in particular exclusively downstream of the heat exchanger through which the exhaust gas stream last flows. This means that the temperature of the exhaust gas in the area of the measuring points is minimal, which enables the use of inexpensive sensors because they do not have to have a high temperature resistance.
- the position of a leak is determined based on a comparison of the values detected at different measuring points. telten measured values are calculated and issued to the operating personnel.
- an optical detection system is used for detection.
- the optical detection system has at least one video camera, wherein the at least one camera is preferably positioned downstream of the heat exchanger through which the exhaust gas stream last flows, for the reasons already mentioned.
- the at least one video camera is advantageously directed at an inner surface of the waste heat steam generator provided with a predetermined pattern. If such a pattern is partially obscured by a passing cloud or plume of water vapor, this can be detected using the recorded video images.
- at least two video cameras are positioned on opposite sides of the exhaust duct and directed towards opposite inner surfaces of the exhaust duct, thereby enabling better localization of the leak.
- the optical system can have at least one laser, which is directed in particular at an associated light detector arranged on an inner surface of the waste heat steam generator, wherein the at least one laser and the associated light detector are preferably positioned downstream of the heat exchanger through which the exhaust gas flow last flows.
- the presence of water vapor in the exhaust gas stream can also be detected by covering the light detector with a water vapor cloud or plume.
- a cross section of the exhaust gas duct is advantageously covered by a large number of laser beams emitted adjacent to one another and directed at corresponding light detectors, thereby enabling the position and size of the water vapor cloud or plume to be determined and thus localization of the leak.
- the present invention creates a waste heat steam generator with an exhaust gas duct in which at least one heat exchanger having pipes carrying water or water vapor is arranged, in particular, viewed in the downstream direction, a heat exchanger serving as a superheater, an evaporator and a heat exchanger serving as a feed water preheater, characterized in that Sensors and/or an optical detection system are provided within the exhaust gas duct, which are designed to detect the presence of water vapor in an exhaust gas passed through the exhaust gas duct, and that a data controller connected to the sensors and/or the optical detection system is provided, which is set up to carry out the method according to the invention.
- the sensors are preferably moisture sensors.
- a holding grid that accommodates the sensors is advantageously provided and extends over a cross section of the exhaust duct, with the sensors being positioned in particular at uniform intervals on the holding grid.
- Such a holding grid ensures simple and inexpensive installation of the sensors across the cross section of the exhaust duct.
- the holding grid is preferably arranged downstream of the last heat exchanger.
- the optical detection system advantageously has at least one camera and/or at least one laser.
- the at least one camera and the at least one laser can be positioned in the exhaust duct as previously described with reference to the method according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of a waste heat steam generator according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a sectional view along the line II-II in Figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a view analogous to Figure 1, which schematically shows damage to pipes of various heat exchangers of the waste heat steam generator and the resulting water vapor clouds;
- Figure 4 is a sectional view along line IV-IV in Figure 3.
- Figure 5 shows a schematic top view of a downstream region of a waste heat steam generator according to a further embodiment of the present invention.
- the waste heat steam generator 1 comprises a housing 3 through which an exhaust gas duct 6 having an exhaust gas inlet 4 and an exhaust gas outlet 5 extends, which opens downstream into a chimney 7 via a diffuser.
- an exhaust gas duct 6 having an exhaust gas inlet 4 and an exhaust gas outlet 5 extends, which opens downstream into a chimney 7 via a diffuser.
- three heat exchangers 8, 9 and 10 are arranged one behind the other in the flow direction of the exhaust gas, with the heat exchanger 8 serving as a superheater, the heat exchanger 9 as an evaporator and the heat exchanger 10 as a feed water preheater.
- hot exhaust gas from an upstream process is introduced into the exhaust gas duct 6 in the direction of arrow 11 through the exhaust gas inlet 4, such as the hot exhaust gas from a gas turbine process.
- the exhaust gas flows through the exhaust duct 6 in the direction of the arrows 12, enters the chimney 7 through the exhaust gas outlet 5, flows through it in the direction of the arrows 13 and is finally discharged into the environment.
- the exhaust gas gives off heat to feed water that is passed in countercurrent through pipes 14 of the heat exchangers 8, 9 and 10 in order to gradually overheat it.
- feed water which is supplied to the heat exchanger 10 positioned at the downstream end of the exhaust duct 6 via a feed water pump 15, is first preheated by the exhaust gas.
- the preheated feed water is then fed to a steam drum 16, which feeds the pipes 14 of the heat exchanger 9 with the preheated feed water.
- the feed water is then evaporated in the heat exchanger 9.
- the water vapor generated is then fed to the pipes 14 of the heat exchanger 8 and superheated there.
- the superheated steam is finally directed to the steam turbine 2, which drives a generator 17, for example.
- the waste heat steam generator 1 in the present embodiment includes a large number of sensors 18 arranged within the exhaust duct 6, which are designed to record a measurement variable representing the moisture content of the exhaust gas stream.
- the sensors 18 are designed as moisture sensors and are positioned in such a way that they determine the moisture content of the exhaust gas passed through the exhaust duct 6. record the gas flow at a large number of measuring points.
- sensors can also be used that do not directly record the moisture content, but rather, for example, a measurement variable that is proportional to the moisture content.
- the sensors 18 are provided on a holding grid 19, which extends over a cross section of the exhaust duct. The sensors 18 are positioned like a matrix at regular intervals on the holding grid 19.
- the holding grid 19 is arranged downstream of the last heat exchanger 10, so that the sensors 18 detect the moisture content of the exhaust gas after it has passed through all the heat exchangers 8, 9 and 10.
- further holding grids 19 with sensors 18 attached to them can be provided within the exhaust duct 6 in order to detect the moisture content of the exhaust gas at different cross sections of the exhaust duct 6.
- a second holding grid with sensors 18 held thereon is positioned downstream of the first holding grid 19, whereby these sensors 18 are only intended to verify the measured values recorded by the sensors 18 positioned upstream and thus form a redundant arrangement.
- the sensors 18 are coupled in terms of data technology to a controller 20.
- the circle 24 outlines the area in which the sensors 18 record an increase in the moisture content of the exhaust gas caused by the damage 21
- the circle 25 shows the area in which the sensors 18 record an increase in the moisture content caused by the damage 22 of the exhaust gas
- the circle 26 is the area in which the sensors 18 record an increase in the moisture content of the exhaust gas caused by the damage 23. Furthermore, it has been found that the intensity of the increase in the moisture content of the exhaust gas increases as the distance of the damage 21, 22, 23 from the sensors 18 decreases, which is indicated in FIG. 4 by the density of the hatching for the circles 24, 25, 26.
- the position of the leak can be inferred, which makes it easier for maintenance personnel to search for the leak and minimizes the maintenance time.
- the sensors 18 record the moisture content of the exhaust gas at predetermined time intervals or continuously.
- the recorded measured values are then forwarded to the controller 20, where the recorded measured values are compared with at least one stored limit value.
- the at least one limit value can be a fixed limit value that was determined depending on the operating conditions, such as the outside temperature, the humidity, the type of fuel used in the upstream process, etc.
- the limit value can also be defined, for example, as the maximum permissible increase in the moisture content of the exhaust gas within a predetermined period of time. If at least one of the recorded measured values exceeds the at least one limit value, an alarm is triggered to alert the operating personnel to the detected leak. Furthermore, the position of the leak is determined calculated and issued to the operating personnel.
- the measured values recorded by the sensors 18 arranged on the rear holding grille 19 in the flow direction of the exhaust gas are used to verify the measured values recorded by the sensors 18 arranged on the front holding grille 19 in order to minimize false alarms and/or the function to fail Sensors 18 of the first holding grid 19 to take over.
- the monitoring according to the invention of the condition of pipes 14 carrying water or water vapor is characterized by the fact that the number of sensors can be significantly reduced compared to conventional acoustic monitoring, thereby saving costs. If the sensors 18 are arranged at the downstream end of the waste heat steam generator 1, inexpensive commercially available sensors 18 can be used since the temperature of the exhaust gas there is comparatively low and is within the permissible temperature range of inexpensive commercially available sensors. The desired monitoring accuracy can also be achieved using inexpensive, commercially available sensors.
- FIG. 5 shows a section of a waste heat steam generator 1 according to a further embodiment of the present invention, the structure of which basically corresponds to the structure of the first embodiment.
- an optical detection system 27 is provided, which is lying two video cameras 28, which are preferably cooled to protect them from the hot environment.
- the video cameras 27 are positioned on opposite sides of the exhaust duct 6 and are each directed at inner surfaces of the exhaust duct 6, which in the present case are provided with a predetermined pattern, such as a pattern in the form of grid lines.
- the video cameras and the patterns can be positioned at different heights of the exhaust duct 6, but this is not absolutely necessary.
- the optical detection system 27 can also have lasers with associated light detectors that are positioned on the inner walls of the exhaust duct 6, even if this is not shown here.
- the presence of a water vapor cloud in the exhaust gas stream is detected in this case when the incidence of the laser light on the light detectors is weakened or interrupted by a water vapor cloud. If the positions of the lasers and light detectors are chosen appropriately, the position of the leak can also be calculated.
