【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、火力発電ボイラ等の主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管内面に成長したスケールを、化学洗浄液を用いて化学洗浄する方法に関し、特に、これらの蒸気管に連通する過熱器管や再熱器管の健全性を維持しながら化学洗浄する方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
火力発電ボイラの蒸気系の一例は図2に示す。図2において、バーナ21により火炉22で燃料を燃焼させることにより発生した蒸気は、汽水分離器23、ボイラ蒸気連絡管24、過熱器25、主蒸気管26を通って高圧タービン27に供給される。そして、高圧タービン27で仕事をした蒸気は、低温再熱蒸気管28を通って再熱器29に送られて加熱され、高温再熱蒸気管30を通って中圧タービン31及び低圧タービン32に供給されて仕事を行う。また、低圧タービン32で仕事をした蒸気は復水器33で復水された後、脱気管34、ボイラ給水ポンプ35を通って再び火炉22に戻される。
【0003】
このような火力発電ボイラの蒸気系において、主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管の内面には、長年の運転に伴って水蒸気酸化スケールが成長し、ある厚さになると一部が剥離・飛散してタービン損傷等のトラブルの原因となる。そのため、これらのスケールを化学洗浄により溶解除去することが行われている。
【0004】
従来、このような目的で行う化学洗浄方法としては、主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管と連通し、しかも化学洗浄の対象としない過熱器管又は再熱器管(以下「非洗浄域」という)に化学洗浄液が流入してその健全性を損ねることを避けるため、過熱器管又は再熱器管の両端を切断し、仮設配管を接続して対象とする蒸気管のみに化学洗浄液を通液する方法が提案されている(特開昭64−23096号公報、実開平4−3286号公報)。即ち、図3(a),(b)に示す如く、まず、過熱器管の出口部位(過熱器出口管寄せ)41に連絡する主蒸気管42の、該連絡部近傍部42Aを切断して、仮設配管取付用アダプタ43を装着する。そして、タービン入口部主蒸気塞止弁44を開放して内部にタービン側への流入防止の閉止蓋を取り付け、この主蒸気塞止弁44に仮設配管取付用アダプタ45を装着する。そして、アダプタ43,45間を循環ポンプ46を備えた仮設配管47で連結して循環系路を形成し、循環ポンプ46により化学洗浄液を循環させて主蒸気管42内を洗浄する。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、このような従来の化学洗浄方法では、口径が大きく管肉厚が厚い主蒸気管や再熱蒸気管を化学洗浄に先立ち切断し、また、洗浄後にはこれを復旧する工事を行うため、この切断・復旧に多大な労力と費用及び工期を必要とする。
【0007】
本発明は上記従来の問題点を解決し、大口径で厚肉の主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管を切断することなく、非洗浄域への化学洗浄液の流入を防止して機器の健全性を確保しつつ、安価に且つ効率的に洗浄を行うことができる主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管の化学洗浄方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管の化学洗浄方法は、過熱器管又は再熱器管に連通する主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管内を化学洗浄液を用いて化学洗浄する方法において、前記主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管の蒸気流通方向最上流側に位置する上下方向配管の上部に穴を開けて洗浄用座を設置し、該洗浄用座に液面計を取り付ける工程と、前記洗浄用座から前記主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管内に化学洗浄液を供給する工程と、前記主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管内に供給した化学洗浄液を、前記主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管の蒸気流通方向下流側の部分から抜き出し、前記主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管の外部に備えた流路を介して循環させる循環工程とを含み、前記液面計によって前記主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管内の化学洗浄液の液位を監視し、該液位が所定位よりも上昇する傾向がある場合には、該流路内の化学洗浄液の一部を該流路外へ排出することにより、前記過熱器管又は再熱器管への化学洗浄液の流入を防止することを特徴とする。
【0009】
本発明の方法では、洗浄対象の主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管に加える加工は、小口径の洗浄用座を設置するのみで足りる。この洗浄用座に取り付けた液面計の液面を監視することにより、非洗浄域の過熱器管又は再熱器管への化学洗浄液の流入を容易に防止し、化学洗浄中の非洗浄域配管の健全性を維持することができる。このため、本発明によれば、化学洗浄前の配管の切断及び化学洗浄後の復旧が不要となり、蒸気管洗浄の労力と時間及び費用を大幅に節減することが可能となる。
【0010】
この液面計は、洗浄用座に取り付けた外筒配管の上部を貫通し、この外筒配管の内部から主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管の内部に至る、少なくとも一部が透明な管状部材にて構成されてもよい。
【0011】
この管状部材の透明部分から該管状部材内部の液位を監視することができる。
【0012】
本発明では、液面計の上端を、主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管内の化学洗浄液液面より上部の気相部に付設された計装用座又は空気抜座に接続すると共に、該気相部を不活性ガス雰囲気としてもよい。
【0013】
このようにすれば、洗浄液界面から水蒸気が揮散して気相部及び非洗浄域の配管内面に凝縮しても、材料腐食等の二次的問題を回避することができ、非洗浄域の健全性をより一層確実に確保することが可能となる。
【0014】
本発明方法においては、主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管内に供給した化学洗浄液を、主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管の蒸気流通方向下流側の部分から抜き出し、主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管の外部に備えた流路を介して循環させるようにしている
【0015】
このような循環洗浄によれば、液の循環による流速と攪拌作用が加わるため、洗浄効果を更に向上させることが可能となる。また、主蒸気管や再熱蒸気管のような長い配管系統では、洗浄液を一端から抜き出し他端に戻すことにより系内全体を均一に循環洗浄することができ、著しく高い洗浄効果を得ることができる。
【0016】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に図面を参照して本発明の主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管の化学洗浄方法の実施の形態を説明する。
【0017】
図1は、本発明による主蒸気管の化学洗浄方法の実施の形態を示す系統図である。
【0018】
この実施の形態においては、化学洗浄の対象とする主蒸気管1の上流端は、非洗浄域の過熱器管群に連通し、下流端はストップバルブ11で仕切られる構成になっている。ストップバルブ11の下流側はタービン(図示略)に連なっている。
【0019】
この主蒸気管1の上流端側1aは、略水平に横引きされ、この部分に圧力計設置座15又は空気抜座が設けられている。通常運転時には、この座15に圧力計(図示略)が取り付けられる。
【0020】
主蒸気管1のうち、この上流端側1aに引き続く部分は、略上下方向に引き回された垂直配管部1bとなっている。
【0021】
この垂直配管部1bに直径100mm程度の穴を開け、専用の洗浄用座2を設置してある。この洗浄用座2に外筒配管4がフランジで連結されている。この外筒配管4に液面計3を取り付けてある。
【0022】
この液面計3は、透明なパイプよりなり、その途中部分が上下方向に配設されている。この液面計3の一端(下端)側は、外筒配管4を貫通し該外筒配管4の内部から主蒸気管1の内部に差し込まれている。液面計3の他端は前記圧力計設置座15に接続してある。液面計3の途中は、略鉛直な上下方向部分となっており、この上下方向部分の下部には開閉式のバルブ3aが設けられている。このバルブ3aの下側に圧力計3Pが接続されている。
【0023】
液面計3の該上下方向部分の内部の液面高さを監視するように、テレビカメラ3Cが設置されている。
【0024】
液面計3の上部(この実施の形態では、座15の近傍)には、ガス逃し弁14が設けられており、該ガス逃し弁14を介して内部の気体をベントできるよにしてある。
【0025】
主蒸気管1に化学洗浄液を循環流通させるための仮設の循環流路5が設けられている。この循環流路5の上流端は、バルブ5aを介してストップバルブ11のボンネット12に接続されている。循環流路5の下流端は、バルブ5jを介して前記外筒配管4に接続されている。循環流路5は、上流側から下流側に向って順次に配置された該バルブ5a、配管5b、バルブ5c、循環タンク6、配管5d、バルブ5e、配管5f、バルブ5g、熱交換器7、配管5h、循環ポンプ8、配管5i及び該バルブ5jを備えている。
【0026】
熱交換器7は、化学洗浄液を加温するためのものであり、加熱用蒸気の供給配管7aが接続され、該配管7aにはバルブ7bが設けられている。熱交換器7の下流側の配管5hには、化学洗浄薬品を貯液した薬液槽9が薬注ポンプ9a、配管9b及びバルブ9cを介して接続されている。
【0027】
配管5fには、化学洗浄液濃度を調整するための水、及び水洗用の水を供給するための給水タンク10が給水配管10a及び給水バルブ10bを介して接続されている。配管5bには、洗浄後の排水を排出するための配管5kが接続されており、該配管5kにバルブ5mが設けられている。
【0028】
なお、配管5bと配管5fとの間は、バルブ5qを備えたバイパス配管5pによって接続されており、液が循環タンク6をバイパスして通液しうるようになっている。
【0029】
化学洗浄に際しては、バルブ5q、5mを閉、バルブ10b、5a,5c,5g,5jを開とすると共に、循環ポンプ8を稼動させて、給水タンク10から純水を供給し、循環タンク6を含む循環流路5及び主蒸気管1の洗浄用座2からボンネット12までの管内に、この純水を循環させると共に、バルブ7bを開として熱交換器7に高温蒸気を注入して循環系内の水を予熱する。また、水を循環させながら、バルブ9cを開とすると共に薬注ポンプ9aを稼動させて、薬液槽9内の高濃度化学洗浄薬液を配管9bより所定の化学洗浄液濃度となるように循環流路5に注入する。最終段階で、給水量を調節しながら液面計3により適切な液位に調整する。この際、液面計3の監視は、テレビカメラ3Cを設置して遠隔監視することも可能である。液面計3の液位が所定の位置に達した後、バルブ10bを閉じて給水を停止する。また、系内の化学洗浄液濃度が所定の濃度に達した後、薬注ポンプ9aを停止すると共に、バルブ9cを閉として薬注を停止する。
【0030】
この状態で循環系内の化学洗浄液を、熱交換器7で加温して所定の温度に維持しつつ、循環ポンプ8により所定時間系内を循環させて、化学洗浄を行う。化学洗浄終了後は、バルブ5mを開、バルブ5cを閉として、系内の化学洗浄液を配管5b,5kより排水槽へ排出し、その後、水洗を行う。水洗工程は、給水タンク10から純水を供給し、化学洗浄薬液を注入しないこと以外は上記と同様にして、純水を循環系内に水漲り循環させることにより行うことができる。また、給水タンク10からの純水を循環流路5に押し込みながら、一部を排水槽へ排出する押し出し洗浄により行っても良い。
【0031】
このような一連の洗浄工程は、通常の化学洗浄と同様の手順によって行われる。本発明においては、この洗浄工程中に、液面計3の液位が垂直配管部1bから、過熱器管側へ上昇することがないように監視することにより、過熱器側への化学洗浄液の流入を防止する。なお、この液面計3の液位が所定位よりも上昇する傾向がある場合には、バルブ5mを開として、循環系内の液の一部を排水槽へ排出す。また、この液位が所定位置よりも低い場合には、バルブ10bを開として給水タンク10から純水を補給すれば良い。
【0032】
この実施の形態においては、窒素や炭酸ガス等の不活性ガスを非洗浄域側から通気すると共に、液面計3の上部に付設したガス逃し弁14又は既設の空気抜管から外気に逃がして気相部を不活性ガス雰囲気とすることにより、洗浄液から揮散する水蒸気やミストが非洗浄域に流入するのを防止することが可能であり、非洗浄域の機器、配管の健全性の確保がより一層確実なものとなる。なお、この不活性ガスの通気は連続的に行うのが好ましいが、これに限定されない。
【0033】
なお、本発明において、化学洗浄液としては、洗浄対象とする管内の汚染物の洗浄性に優れたものを用いることができ、例えば、主蒸気管を対象とする場合は、洗浄対象物が酸化鉄を主体とするいわゆる水蒸気酸化スケールであるため、クエン酸、グリコール酸、ギ酸、又はこれらの混合物、エチレンジアミン四酢酸等のキレート剤、クエン酸アンモニウム等を用いるのが一般的である。化学洗浄液は、予め所定の濃度に調整したものを準備しても良いが、高濃度の薬液を調製しておき、使用時に水で所定濃度になるように希釈して用いるのが一般的である。
【0034】
本発明の化学洗浄方法は、火力発電所の主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管のような大口径・厚肉配管の化学洗浄に極めて有用であり、非洗浄域の機器の健全性を確保した上で、従来の配管の両端を切断・復旧する工法に比べて著しく短い工期で、安価に主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管の化学洗浄を行うことができる。
【0035】
【発明の効果】
以上詳述した通り、本発明の主蒸気管又は再熱蒸気管の化学洗浄方法によれば、大口径、厚肉の蒸気管を切断することなく、洗浄対象に小口径の洗浄用座を設置して液面計の液面を監視することにより、化学洗浄液の非洗浄域への流入を容易に防止しながら洗浄を行うことができる。従って、化学洗浄の工期を大幅に短縮すると共に、洗浄コストの低減を図ることができる。

Then, the steam that has worked in the high-pressure turbine 27 is sent to the reheater 29 through the low-temperature reheat steam pipe 28 and heated, and passes through the high-temperature reheat steam pipe 30 to the intermediate-pressure turbine 31 and the low-pressure turbine 32. Supplied to do work. The steam that has worked in the low-pressure turbine 32 is condensed in the condenser 33 and then returned to the furnace 22 through the deaeration pipe 34 and the boiler feed water pump 35.
[0003]
In the steam system of such a thermal power generation boiler, a steam oxidation scale grows along the inner surface of the main steam pipe or reheat steam pipe with many years of operation. It causes troubles such as turbine damage. Therefore, these scales are dissolved and removed by chemical cleaning.
[0004]
Conventionally, as a chemical cleaning method performed for such a purpose, a superheater pipe or a reheater pipe (hereinafter referred to as “non-cleaning zone”) that communicates with a main steam pipe or a reheated steam pipe and is not subject to chemical cleaning. In order to prevent chemical cleaning liquid from flowing into the pipe and damaging its soundness, cut both ends of the superheater pipe or reheater pipe, connect a temporary pipe, and pass the chemical cleaning liquid only to the target steam pipe. A method has been proposed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 64-23096, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-3286). That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), first, the connecting portion vicinity portion 42A of the main steam pipe 42 connected to the outlet portion (superheater outlet header) 41 of the superheater pipe is cut. Then, the temporary pipe mounting adapter 43 is attached. The turbine inlet main steam blocking valve 44 is opened and a closing lid for preventing inflow to the turbine is attached inside, and the temporary steam mounting adapter 45 is mounted on the main steam blocking valve 44.

[0009]
In the method of the present invention, the processing applied to the main steam pipe or the reheat steam pipe to be cleaned only needs to have a small-diameter cleaning seat. By monitoring the liquid level of the level gauge attached to this cleaning seat, it is easy to prevent the chemical cleaning liquid from flowing into the superheater pipe or reheater pipe in the non-cleaning area, and the non-cleaning area during chemical cleaning. The soundness of the piping can be maintained. For this reason, according to the present invention, it is not necessary to cut the pipe before chemical cleaning and to recover after chemical cleaning, and it is possible to greatly reduce the labor, time and cost of steam pipe cleaning.

In this way, even if water vapor evaporates from the cleaning liquid interface and condenses on the gas phase part and the inner surface of the pipe in the non-cleaning area, secondary problems such as material corrosion can be avoided, and the non-cleaning area can be sound. It becomes possible to ensure the property even more reliably.
[0014]
In the method of the present invention, the chemical cleaning liquid supplied into the main steam pipe or the reheat steam pipe is withdrawn from the downstream portion of the main steam pipe or the reheat steam pipe in the steam flow direction, and outside the main steam pipe or the reheat steam pipe. and so as to circulate through the flow path having a.
[0015]
According to such circulation cleaning, since the flow rate and stirring action by circulation of the liquid are added, the cleaning effect can be further improved. In addition, in long piping systems such as main steam pipes and reheat steam pipes, the entire system can be circulated and washed uniformly by removing the cleaning liquid from one end and returning it to the other end, which can provide a very high cleaning effect. it can.

In this state, the chemical cleaning liquid in the circulation system is heated by the heat exchanger 7 and maintained at a predetermined temperature, and is circulated in the system for a predetermined time by the circulation pump 8 to perform chemical cleaning. After the chemical cleaning is finished, the valve 5m is opened and the valve 5c is closed, the chemical cleaning liquid in the system is discharged from the pipes 5b and 5k to the drainage tank, and then washed with water. The water washing step can be performed by circulating pure water in the circulation system in the same manner as described above except that pure water is supplied from the water supply tank 10 and no chemical cleaning chemical solution is injected. Moreover, you may carry out by the extrusion washing | cleaning which discharges one part to a drainage tank, pushing the pure water from the water supply tank 10 into the circulation flow path 5. FIG.
[0031]
Such a series of cleaning steps is performed by a procedure similar to that of normal chemical cleaning. In the present invention, during this cleaning step, the liquid level of the level gauge 3 is monitored so that it does not rise from the vertical pipe portion 1b to the superheater tube side, so that the chemical cleaning liquid to the superheater side is monitored. Prevent inflow. In the case where the liquid level gauge 3 liquid level tends to increase than the predetermined position as the valve 5m open, discharge a portion of the liquid in the circulation system to the sump. If the liquid level is lower than the predetermined position, pure water may be replenished from the water supply tank 10 by opening the valve 10b.

In this embodiment, an inert gas such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide gas is vented from the non-cleaning area side, and the gas is released to the outside air from the gas relief valve 14 provided at the upper part of the liquid level gauge 3 or the existing air vent pipe. By making the phase part an inert gas atmosphere, it is possible to prevent water vapor and mist evaporating from the cleaning liquid from flowing into the non-cleaning area, and ensuring the soundness of the equipment and piping in the non-cleaning area. It will be even more certain. In addition, although it is preferable to ventilate this inert gas continuously, it is not limited to this.
[0033]
In the present invention, as the chemical cleaning liquid, a chemical cleaning liquid having excellent cleaning properties for contaminants in the pipe to be cleaned can be used. For example, when the main steam pipe is a target, the cleaning target is an iron oxide. Therefore, citric acid, glycolic acid, formic acid, or a mixture thereof, a chelating agent such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, ammonium citrate, or the like is generally used. The chemical cleaning solution may be prepared in advance adjusted to a predetermined concentration, but it is general to prepare a chemical solution with a high concentration and dilute it with water to a predetermined concentration at the time of use. .
[0034]
The chemical cleaning method of the present invention is extremely useful for chemical cleaning of large-diameter and thick-walled pipes such as main steam pipes or reheat steam pipes of thermal power plants, and ensures the soundness of equipment in non-cleaning areas. Thus, chemical cleaning of the main steam pipe or the reheat steam pipe can be performed at a low cost in a significantly shorter construction period than the conventional method of cutting and restoring both ends of the pipe.
[0035]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, according to the chemical cleaning method for a main steam pipe or a reheat steam pipe of the present invention, a small-diameter cleaning seat is installed on a cleaning target without cutting a large-diameter, thick-walled steam pipe. By monitoring the liquid level of the liquid level gauge, the cleaning can be performed while easily preventing the chemical cleaning liquid from flowing into the non-cleaning area. Therefore, the chemical cleaning work period can be greatly shortened and the cleaning cost can be reduced.
