Description

  The present invention relates to a corrosion environment monitoring sensor for measuring a corrosion factor involved in damage deterioration of a structural member inside a steam turbine, and a corrosion environment monitoring system using the same.

In steam turbines, the corrosion of turbine components due to the quality of steam water is a life factor.In particular, in steam turbines using geothermal steam, the concentration of hydrogen sulfide, chloride, etc., which are corrosion factors of materials, is high. It is considered to change from site to site and over time.
Therefore, a technique for monitoring the water quality of steam and predicting the occurrence of corrosion is useful.
As a method of monitoring the corrosiveness of such steam, for example, condensed water is obtained from a condensing chamber simulating condensation conditions near the surface of the steam turbine blade, and the water quality is monitored by analyzing the condensed water. A water quality monitor for steam condensate for controlling the operating conditions of the steam turbine and injecting chemicals and an energy conversion system using the same have been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  Specifically, a steam bleed pipe for extracting the steam of the main steam system and introducing it to the condensate water quality chamber monitor is connected to the steam chamber via an inlet-side pressure control valve. The condensate is generated under the control of the meter and the steam chamber pressure gauge so as to simulate the condensing conditions in the vicinity of the surface of the steam turbine blade contacting the condensate. The generated condensate is stored in a condensing chamber, and the water quality is monitored by analyzing the condensate in the condensing chamber to determine pH, electrical conductivity, species and concentration of chemical species, corrosion potential, and total organic carbon concentration. The measurement results are used to control the operating conditions of the steam turbine and to inject chemicals.

  By the way, in the conventional example described in Patent Document 1, it is introduced in the measurement of the pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature, chloride ions, corrosion potential, etc. of the condensed water generated from the steam introduced from the inside of the turbine into the steam chamber. If the steam flow rate is too high, it will cause problems such as insufficient cooling capacity and condensation, and conversely, if the flow rate is too low, it will cause problems such as simulating the corrosive environment in the turbine. A pressure control valve is provided on the inlet side of the steam chamber to control the introduced steam at an arbitrary pressure (flow rate).

  Here, especially when using geothermal steam, there is a concern that silica, crystallized calcium components, and other foreign substances contained in the steam may clog the piping. If the pressure is controlled by narrowing the flow path, clogging easily occurs. Further, as described in Patent Document 1, when the pressure control valve is arranged on the inlet side, that is, inside the casing, it is impossible to adjust the control during the operation of the turbine, and to replace or maintain the pressure valve. There is an unresolved issue.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made paying attention to the unsolved problems of the above-described conventional example, and controls the introduced steam to an arbitrary pressure (flow velocity), suppresses pressure fluctuation due to clogging, and clogging occurs. An object of the present invention is to provide a corrosion environment monitoring sensor that can be easily replaced and maintained even when the steam turbine is in operation, and a corrosion environment monitoring system using the same.

Further, in the corrosion environment monitoring sensor according to another aspect of the present invention, the condensed water storage part is an annular groove for storing condensed water formed on the outer peripheral surface, and a gap for simulating chlorine ion concentration in the turbine gap. has a simulating unit, the circular steam inlet and the condensed water introducing said steam into the annular groove or discharge port for discharging the steam formed on the same side, the steam guide member for preventing the short circuit of the steam between them was placed, the discharge port is characterized in that it is connected to the capillary tube through the pipe.
Also, corrosive environment monitoring sensor according to another embodiment of the present invention, the condensed water reservoir simulates chloride ions concentration between the annular groove and the turbine in the gap for storing the condensed water formed on the outer peripheral surface There is a gap simulation part, and a steam inlet for introducing the steam and a discharge outlet for discharging the condensed water or the steam are arranged at positions facing each other in the annular groove, and the discharge outlet connects the pipe. It is characterized by being connected to the capillary tube via.

Moreover, the corrosive environment monitoring sensor according to another aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the capillary tube is formed of a transparent tube whose inside can be visually confirmed.
Also, corrosive environment monitoring sensor according to another embodiment of the present invention, the capillary tube is characterized in that it is replaceably arranged on the outside of the turbine casing.
Also, corrosive environment monitoring sensor according to another embodiment of the present invention, the corrosion factor sensor unit, at least the corrosion potential sensor is composed of three types of pH sensor and chloride ion sensor, each sensor is the gap simulating section It is characterized by being in contact with the stored condensed water.

According to the present invention, the capillary tube is connected to the condensed water outlet side of the vapor condensing unit, and the vapor pressure introduced at the vapor introducing unit is controlled by this capillary tube, so the configuration for controlling the vapor pressure is simplified. And cost reduction can be realized.
In addition, since the capillary tube can be exchanged outside the turbine casing, it can be easily exchanged even when the exchange frequency increases due to clogging of precipitates. In particular, in a steam turbine using geothermal steam, there is a concern about clogging due to the generation of precipitates in the structure in which the pressure is adjusted by restricting the valve, while in the capillary tube system in which the pressure is controlled by the length of the pipe, Precipitates are not easily clogged, and the capillary tube has a large pressure adjustment allowance and pressure control becomes easy. Furthermore, by making the capillary tube a transparent tube, it is possible to obtain an effect such that it is easy to visually check the clogged state of the piping.

The condensate storage part 54 is formed on the annular groove 55 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the tip of the sensor holding part 51 and the surface facing the sensor holding part 51 of the lid 52 communicating with the bottom surface of the annular groove 55.

A steam guide member 63 in which a relatively shallow guide groove 62 is formed on the outer peripheral surface is disposed.

  The sensor holding portion 51 includes a plurality of annular grooves 71 that allow cooling water to flow on the outer peripheral surface thereof at predetermined intervals in the axial direction, and a plurality of annular grooves 71 that communicate with each other at the upper portion. The annular groove 71 on the opposite side to the axial lid body 52 is connected to a cooling water supply path 74 formed inside the sensor holding portion 51, and is alternately communicated with the communication path 73 communicating with the lower part. An annular groove 71 on the 52 side communicates with a cooling water discharge path 75 formed inside the sensor holding portion 51.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the reference electrode 80 disposed in the center is centered on the end facing the gap simulation portion 57 of the sensor holding unit 51, and an electrolytic corrosion potential (ECP) is generated around the reference electrode 80. ) A sensor 81, a pH sensor 82, a chloride ion sensor 83, and two temperature sensors 84a and 84b are provided. The electrolytic corrosion potential (ECP) sensor 81, the pH sensor 82, and the chloride ion sensor 83 are configured by sensor electrodes for corrosion potential measurement, pH measurement, and chloride ion measurement, respectively. Further, air vent holes 85 a and 85 b are formed when the sensor block 50 is inserted into the sensor block support portion 39.

  The outer cylinder 32 is divided into two parts outside the outer casing 21a, and flanges 32a and 32b are fixed to the respective divided end faces. These flanges 32a and 32b are connected to one mounting flange 90a and the other mounting flange 90b of the gate valve 90, and the inner cylinder 33 penetrates through the gate valve 90 and protrudes to the other end side.

  Then, for example, a pipe 91 having a relatively large diameter of about 6 mmΦ is connected to the condensate discharge plug 61 of the steam condensing unit 53, and the outer casing 21 a is wound while the pipe 91 is spirally wound around the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 32. The end portion of the pipe 91 is fixed to a flange portion 92 having a through hole fixed to the tip of the outer cylinder 32 extending to the outside of the gate valve 90 by a pipe joint 94a. One end of a capillary tube 93 having a relatively small diameter (for example, 2 mm diameter) and a predetermined length is detachably connected to the opposite side of the flange portion 92 from the tube joint 94a by a tube joint 94b. Similarly, the other end of the flange portion 92 is detachably connected to the flange portion 92 by a pipe joint 95, and a return pipe 97 is connected to the other end of the flange portion 92 by a pipe joint 96, and the return pipe 97 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 32. While being spirally wound, it is returned to the steam introduction part 35 side and sent into the inner casing 21b evacuated.

  Here, the capillary tube 93 is formed of a synthetic resin pipe such as transparent tetrafluoroethylene. As shown in FIG. 9, the pipe joints 94b and 95 for connecting the capillary tube 93 and the flange portion 92 are fixed-part side joints in which a pipe taper male screw 100 is formed at one end and a male screw 101 is formed at the other end. 102 and a tube fixing joint portion 104 having a female screw 103 that is screwed into the male screw 101 of the fixing portion side joint portion 102.

  Then, in a state where the fixing portion side joint portion 102 is fixed to the flange portion 92, a ferrule 105 made of, for example, tetrafluoroethylene is attached to one end of the capillary tube 93 and is inserted into the tube fixing joint portion 104, and in this state, the tube One end of the capillary tube 93 is fixed to the flange portion 92 by screwing the female screw 103 of the fixing joint portion 104 into the male screw 101 of the fixing portion side joint portion 102 and tightening. Also, the other end of the capillary tube 93 is inserted into the tube fixing joint portion 104 and then the ferrule 105 is attached to the tip end side. In this state, the female screw 103 of the tube fixing joint portion 104 is attached to the fixing portion side joint portion 102. The other end of the capillary tube 93 is fixed to the flange portion 92 by being screwed onto the male screw 101 and tightening.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.
Now, a new inner cylinder 33 is inserted into the outer cylinder 32 provided in the steam turbine 4, and the steam introduction part 35 in which the sensor block 50 formed at the tip of the inner cylinder 33 is fixed to the stationary blade ring 21 c. The sensor block support part 39 is inserted and supported.
If the steam turbine 4 is stopped in this state, no steam is input from the steam extraction hole 40, and no condensed water is stored in the condensed water storage part 54 of the steam condensing part 53.

  When the steam turbine 4 is operated from this state and the turbine internal pressure increases, the steam in the turbine is input from the steam extraction hole 40 of the steam introduction part 35 to the steam condensing part 53 through the communication hole 41 and the steam input plug 42. The At this time, the cooling water is supplied to the sensor block 50 from the chiller 78 via the cooling water pipe 77a to the cooling water supply path 74, and sequentially passes through the annular groove 71 to the front end side, and from the cooling water discharge path 75 to the cooling water pipe. Since the cooling water circulation path which returns to the chiller 78 through 77b is formed, the whole sensor block 50 is cooled, for example to 40 degrees C or less.

Therefore, the steam input to the steam condensing portion 53 is guided by the guide groove 62 of the steam guide member 63 and passes through the annular groove 56 toward the condensed water outlet 60 in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. The flow rate of the steam at this time is such that the discharge port of the steam discharge plug 61 is connected to the capillary tube 93 disposed outside the casing 21 via the pipe 91, and the diameter is reduced by this capillary tube 93. The path resistance is increased and the flow rate of the steam in the steam condensing unit 53 is controlled. Control of the flow velocity at this time is performed by adjusting at least one of the length and the inner diameter of the capillary tube 93.
Here, the capillary tube 93 has a large pressure adjustment margin and facilitates pressure control. For example, by setting the capillary tube 93 to a size of, for example, a diameter of 1.0 mmφ and a length of 10 m, the flow rate of the introduced steam can be controlled even when the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the steam is about 150 kPa.

  And the vapor | steam which passes the inside of the annular groove 56 is cooled and condensed by the end surface of the sensor block 50, and a part of vapor | steam becomes condensed water. This condensed water is gradually stored in the condensed water storage part 54. When the condensed water is stored in the condensed water storage part 54 in this way, the condensed water flows into the gap simulation part 57 that simulates the chlorine ion concentration in the gap in the turbine and is exposed to the gap simulation part 57. The properties of the condensed water are measured by the reference electrode 80, electrolytic corrosion potential (ECP) sensor 81, pH sensor 82, and chloride ion sensor 83.

The corrosion potential is measured from the potential difference between the reference electrode 80 and the sensor electrode (sample member electrode) of the electrolytic corrosion potential (ECP) sensor 81. Further, the pH is measured from the potential difference between the reference electrode 80 and the sensor electrode of the pH sensor 82. Further, the chloride ion concentration is measured from the potential difference between the reference electrode 80 and the sensor electrode of the chloride ion sensor 83.
Then, the measurement results of each sensor are sent to the corrosion factor analyzer 110. In this corrosion factor analyzer 110, the corrosion factor analysis is performed based on the electrolytic corrosion potential, pH, and chloride ion concentration detected by the electrolytic corrosion potential sensor 81, the pH sensor 82, and the chloride ion sensor 83.

As this corrosion factor analysis, (a) a plurality of corrosion factors (corrosion potential, pH, chloride ion concentration) in a steam turbine,
Chloride ion concentration is a major corrosive factor in steam turbines, leading to chloride formation, hydrogen ion generation due to its hydrolysis, and increased hydrogen ion concentration. That is, when a pitting corrosion pit is generated by chloride ions, the chloride ion concentration tends to increase in the pitting corrosion pit.

The pH represents the hydrogen ion concentration in the solution. An increase in hydrogen ion concentration (decrease in pH) accelerates ionization (oxidation reaction) of the member.
The corrosion potential indicates the corrosivity with respect to the solution in contact with each member, and the higher the potential, the easier the corrosion. As the hydrogen ion concentration increases, the corrosion potential increases.
(B) Regarding a specific corrosion factor in the geothermal steam turbine, the geothermal steam turbine includes carbon dioxide gas and hydrogen sulfide.
Carbon dioxide gas becomes carbon dioxide in condensed water and generates hydrogen ions.
Although hydrogen sulfide forms iron sulfide and may also have a protective role on the surface of the member, it can be decomposed by chloride ions, causing pitting corrosion.

As described above, the corrosion potential is affected by the chloride ion concentration and pH, and becomes a parameter of the corrosive state of the member, but an important point in preventive maintenance is to know the cause of the corrosion potential fluctuation, By measuring basic factors such as pH and chloride ion concentration, it is possible to more accurately understand and predict the corrosion status, and to improve the accuracy of the precautions for the steam environment, so that accurate maintenance management measures can be determined. Become.
Here, the maintenance management measures include setting the replacement period of the moving blade 24m, injection control of corrosion prevention chemicals, and the like.

  As the corrosion factor evaluation determination process, the potential difference between the sensor electrode (sample member electrode) of the corrosion potential sensor 81 and the reference electrode 80 is measured with a potentiometer, the corrosion potential is measured, and the variation of the measured corrosion potential is measured. At the same time, by comparing the measured pH and chloride ion concentration fluctuations, it is determined whether the corrosion potential fluctuation factors are due to a decrease in pH and an increase in chloride ion concentration. Control the injection of corrosion-inhibiting chemicals that suppress the decrease and increase in chloride ion concentration.

  Further, the corrosion factor analyzer 110 includes a remaining life diagnosis device that predicts the life of the moving blade 24m using the corrosion potential and, for example, damage deterioration characteristic data of the moving blade 24m. Here, for the damage deterioration characteristic data, for example, the correlation between the damage deterioration rate and the corrosion potential representing the degree of influence on the corrosion damage of the rotor blade 24m is obtained in advance by experiments, and this correlation is expressed as a characteristic map or a prediction model formula. The characteristic map or the prediction model formula is stored in advance in the storage device. Then, referring to the characteristic map based on the measured corrosion potential or substituting the measured corrosion potential into the prediction model formula, the progress of damage deterioration of the rotor blade 24m is predicted, and the remaining life of the rotor blade 24m is predicted. To do. And the replacement period of the moving blade 24m is set based on the predicted remaining life of the moving blade 24m.

In addition, the corrosion factor analyzer 110 compares the corrosion factor measurement data such as the corrosion potential, pH, and chloride ion concentration measured by the corrosion environment modeling sensor 31 with the management reference range of the corresponding corrosion factor, and the corrosion factor. A corrosive environment state determination device that issues an alarm when measured data deviates from the control reference range is provided.
On the other hand, the steam or condensed water that has passed through the capillary tube 93 is sent through the return pipe 97 into the inner casing 21b that is evacuated.

In the operation state of the steam turbine 4, the pressure of the steam to be extracted is controlled by the capillary tube 93, and it is not necessary to provide a valve mechanism such as a pressure control valve as in the conventional example described above. There is no concern, and stable monitoring of the corrosive environment can be performed stably over a long period of time.
Moreover, the pipes 91 and 97 in the casing 21 can be prevented from clogging due to the generation of precipitates by sufficiently increasing the inner diameter.

In addition, since the capillary tube 93 is transparent, the clogged state of the precipitate can be visually confirmed at all times, and when the precipitate is clogged, the capillary tube 93 is replaced.
In this case, since the capillary tube 93 is disposed outside the casing 21, the capillary tube 93 is simply removed by removing the tube fixing joint portion 104 from the flange portion 92 and removing the capillary tube 93. Is attached to the tube fixing joint portion 104 and reconnected to the fixing portion side joint portion 102, and the capillary tube 93 can be easily replaced.

  Further, when an abnormality occurs in any of the various sensors arranged in the sensor block 50 or when maintenance is performed, the inner cylinder 33 is removed after the chiller 78 is removed while the operation of the steam turbine 4 is continued. By pulling out from the outside of the casing 21, the sensor block 50 can be pulled out of the casing 21. Then, by closing the gate valve 90 when the sensor block 50 is drawn out, it is possible to reliably prevent the steam in the casing 21 of the steam turbine 4 from leaking to the outside.

  When the repair, replacement, or maintenance of the sensor block 50 is completed, the gate valve 90 is opened and the inner cylinder 33 with the sensor block 50 attached is inserted into the outer cylinder 32 so that the sensor block 50 is Supported by the support 39. At this time, since the tapered guide surface 34 b is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the ball seat 34 of the sensor block support portion 39, the tip of the sensor block 50 is guided by the Taber guide surface 34 b to enter the sensor block support portion 39. Installed accurately.

As shown in (b), the steam input plug 42 may be provided at the lower part of the steam condensing part 53, and the steam discharge plug 61 may be provided at the upper part of the steam condensing part 53.
