Detailed Description
The invention is described in detail below with reference to the figures and specific embodiments.
As can be seen from fig. 1, the corrosion rate of the heat exchanger wall surface is related to the heat exchange wall surface temperature, and is inversely related to the pH value of the condensed water. For the current natural gas, wherein H2The S content is about 8ppm, the condensation temperature of the flue gas is related to the excess air coefficient of combustion and the combustion condition under the normal combustion condition, and when the excess air coefficient is 1.0, the dew point temperature of the flue gas formed after combustion is 57 ℃. When the temperature of the wall surface is higher than the value, the water vapor in the flue gas does not condense, condensed water adhesion cannot be formed on the wall surface, and the low-temperature corrosion phenomenon of the wall surface cannot be caused. When the temperature is lower than the condensation temperature [ t ] along with the decrease of the wall temperature]When the process is carried out, water vapor in the flue gas begins to condense and absorbs acid vapor in the flue gas to form acid solution. Due to the condensation of the water vapor, the water vapor pressure in the flue gas is reduced, the dissolution amount of the acid vapor in the flue gas is small, and the pH value of the solution formed at the moment is high. Along with the reduction of the temperature of the heat exchange wall surface, the condensation rate of the water vapor is accelerated, the amount of condensed water is increased, and the pH value of the condensed water is reduced. When the water vapor condenses to the saturated vapor pressure at this pressure, the corrosion rate of the heat exchange wall surface reaches a local maximum, and the pH of the condensed water also reaches a local minimum. When the wall temperature further decreases, the amount of condensed water increases, the partial pressure of the water vapor decreases, and the partial pressure of the acid gas increases, so that the amount of dissolved acid gas does not increase, and the pH of the condensed liquid reaches a local maximum. As the temperature of the wall surface is continuously reduced to the dew point temperature of the acid steam, a large amount of acid steam begins to be condensed, a large amount of condensed acid solution is added in the condensed water besides the partially dissolved acid ions, and the pH value of the condensed water is also sharply reduced.
Under the normal working condition of the condensing heat exchanger, the condensed water discharged from the interior of the heat exchanger is collected, the pH value of the condensed solution is obtained through testing, and the value can be used for representing the index of the low-temperature corrosion resistance of the heat exchanger. When the pH value is larger and is close to a value of 7, the pH value of the condensate discharged from the heat exchanger is larger by indicating that the acid solution component in the condensate discharged from the internal condensation section of the heat exchanger is less and the neutral salt solution component is more, which further deduces that the acid solution of the part has stronger electrochemical corrosion reaction on the wall surface material of the heat exchanger, and a large amount of acid solution reacts with metal elements in the wall surface material of the heat exchanger. Similarly, when the pH value of the condensate obtained by the test is small, it indicates that the condensed acid solution does not have a violent electrochemical method in the condensation section inside the heat exchanger and the metal material of the heat exchanger, so that a large amount of acidic ions can be discharged out of the heat exchanger and enter the test sample. Therefore, the low-temperature corrosion resistance of the condensing heat exchanger can be well represented by testing the collected condensate.
Based on the principle, the method for measuring the low-temperature corrosion resistance and the corrosion rate of the condensing heat exchanger comprises a heat exchanger low-temperature corrosion resistance measuring method and a heat exchanger corrosion rate measuring method;
the method for measuring the low-temperature corrosion resistance of the heat exchanger comprises the following steps:
collecting condensate discharged from the interior of the heat exchanger, and then testing the pH value of the condensate, wherein if the condensate is an acidic solution and the pH value is larger or the solution is a neutral solution, the corrosion phenomenon on the wall surface of the heat exchanger is serious, and the pH value is generally between 5 and 7; if the condensate is an acidic solution and the pH value is small, the corrosion phenomenon of the wall surface of the heat exchanger is light, and the pH value is generally between 3 and 5;
if the corrosion phenomenon of the wall surface of the heat exchanger is serious, the hydrogen ions in the condensate liquid are subjected to chemical reaction on the wall surface of the heat exchanger, so that the content of the hydrogen ions in the liquid discharged out of the heat exchanger is reduced, and the pH value of the collected condensate liquid is also high; if the wall surface of the heat exchanger has no corrosion phenomenon, the acid condensate generated by condensation in the condensate can be directly discharged out of the heat exchanger, and the pH value of the collected condensate is smaller. Through the analysis, the pH value of the condensate can be tested, and the pH value obtained through the test is used as an index for judging the low-temperature corrosion resistance of the condensing heat exchanger.
The method for measuring the corrosion rate of the heat exchanger comprises the following steps:
(1) testing the amount of condensate discharged from the condensing section of the heat exchanger in unit time;
(2) and measuring the contents of acid components and metal components in the condensate collected in unit time by using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS), wherein the measured amount of the metal components is the same as the amount of the metal corroded on the wall surface of the heat exchanger. Meanwhile, the heat exchange area of the part of the heat exchanger where the flue gas condensation phenomenon occurs is counted and calculated, and direct measurement solving can be adopted, wherein the area of the heat exchange flat wall surface can be directly obtained by solving the product of the length and the width of the corrosion surface, the area of the fin part can be obtained by solving the area of the outer surface of the cylinder, and finally the heat exchange area of the whole condensation part is obtained by adding. If a relevant mathematical model exists for the heat exchanger, the condensation heat exchange area can be directly adopted for calculation. Both methods are prior art.
(3) The corrosion rate of the heat exchanger was calculated using the following formula:
wherein N isfThe corrosion rate of the wall surface of the condensation part of the heat exchanger is expressed in mol/(s.m)2) (ii) a V is the volume of condensate collected per unit time in m3(ii) a C is the mass concentration of corrosive elements in the collected condensate and has the unit of g/m3(ii) a A is the area of the wall surface of the heat exchanger with the occurrence of the condensation phenomenon in the heat exchanger, and the unit is m2(ii) a t is the collection time length in units of s; m is the molar mass of the element to be corroded and has the unit of g/mol.

The material of the condensing heat exchanger is cast silicon aluminum alloy, and after spectral analysis, the material of the cast silicon aluminum heat exchanger is known to contain 87.21% of Al, 11.7% of Si and other elements such as Fe, Cu, Mn and the like.
Flue gas flowWhen passing through the heat exchange wall surface of the heat exchanger, the temperature is TfThe flue gas exchanges heat with the fins and the heat exchange wall surface, a temperature boundary layer is formed at the fins of the heat exchange wall surface, and when the flue gas is contacted with the wall surface, the temperature of the flue gas is reduced to be the same as that of the wall surface, namely, the temperature is t1And around the wall, the temperature of the flue gas gradually rises until a maximum value t2. At this time, assume the temperature t1Greater than the condensation temperature of the flue gas [ t]That is, the temperature of the surface of the fins is higher than the dew point temperature of the flue gas, so that the water vapor in the flue gas cannot be condensed, and no condensed water is generated. But with the temperature T of the cold waterwDecrease of t1Will also decrease with time if the temperature t1Is less than the dew point temperature of the flue gas [ t ]]A temperature zone is formed on the surface of the fins, in which the temperature of the fin surface is less than the dew point temperature t]The specific area can be seen in the area of the condensation water membrane in fig. 1. At this time, the water vapor in the flue gas will be condensed in this area, which can be defined as "flue gas condensation area". Can find t1The smaller the value, the larger the area of the "flue gas condensation zone" is, the more amount of condensed water is generated. While at the same time the temperature TwThe water enters the heat exchanger from the direction opposite to the flowing direction of the flue gas for heat exchange.
The water film formed in the smoke condensation area contains a large amount of acidic solution, the pH value of the acidic solution is less than 7, the cast silicon-aluminum heat exchanger material contains a plurality of elements, the active characteristics of the elements are different, so that the Al element in the heat exchanger material is an anode, other elements are cathodes, and an infinite number of tiny electrochemical corrosion loops are formed between the Al element and the other elements due to close contact between the Al element and the other elements. The electrochemical corrosion loop mainly comprises a cathode, an anode, an electrolyte solution and an external loop. The specific chemical reactions that occur are as follows:
Al-3e-→Al3+
O2(g)+2H2O+4e-→4OH-(aq)
Al3++3OH-→Al(OH)3
2Al(OH)3→Al2O3+3H2O
al ions in the wall material of the cast-silicon-aluminum heat exchanger are oxidized into Al due to electrochemical reaction3+Ion, and O dissolved in water2And H2O, after taking an electron, forms OH-Ions of which OH-Al with ions on the wall of the heat exchanger3+After the ionic reaction, Al (OH) is formed on the wall surface of the heat exchanger3. Then the Al (OH)3Will be oxidized again to Al2O3And H2O, wherein Al2O3A dense oxide film is formed on the wall of the heat exchanger to prevent further corrosion of the acid solution.
