Analysis of Mass Loss in Steam Pipe Networks and Research on Energy-saving Operation Optimization Strategies:A Case Study of a Thermoelectric Company
During normal production operations,steam pipe networks typically experience a mass loss that constitutes about 20%of the total energy across the network.A thorough analysis of the factors influencing this mass loss,coupled with targeted countermeasures,forms the corner-stone for achieving energy-efficient steam pipe network operations.Leveraging operational data and on-site observations from DN400 and DN600 steam pipe networks of a thermoelectric compa-ny over recent years,this paper conducts an analysis on the factors contributing to network losses in steam pipe network operations.Subsequently,a range of comprehensive energy-saving manage-ment and control measures have been formulated and implemented,encompassing precise regula-tion of steam source parameters,optimized segmented switching of the pipe network,the applica-tion of vermiculite plate insulated sliding pipe supports,and segmented statistical analysis of pipe network mass loss.Practical outcomes reveal that the mass loss rate of the steam pipe network in this thermoelectric company has decreased from an initial 12.6%to 9.26%,marking a notable achievement in energy conservation.
