Method Of Real-Time Assessing Of Life Of Hp Heater Tube-Plate In Power Plants

In large power plants, in order to improve safety and stability of HP heaters(High Pressure) in operation, thicker tubeplates are designed and made, which will lead to more thermal stress between tube-plate and end-cover, furthermore, will reduce the thermal fatigue life of HP heaters sharply. so it is necessary to monitor the thermal fatigue its life. However, at presently a large portion of methods carry on calculating or analyzing beforehand or afterwords, which make effect of analyzing life being less greatly. In this paper, according to the theory of calculation of thermal fatigue life, real-time gathering tube-plate's temperatures, and computing the life everyday, provide the basis of operating and maintaining in the power plate.
