Analysis of Flow Instability and Dynamic Characteristics in Water Wall of 350 MW Ultra-Flexible Boiler During Deep Peak-Shaving Operation
To address the typical hydrodynamic instability phenomena caused by rapid changes in working fluid parameters during deep peak-shaving operation of ultra-flexible boilers,a predictive model is proposed to deeply investigate the density wave instability mechanism and dynamic response characteristics of water walls. Based on the frequency domain method,the entire evaporator tube section is divided into three parts:subcooled,two-phase,and superheated regions.The conservation equations are linearized and subj ected to small perturbation treatment,and the transfer function of the pipe section is obtained by solving with Laplace transform.Based on this process,a one-dimensional linear three-reg
ion critical heat flux prediction program is developed using C language and MATLAB software,and the Nyquist stability criterion is employed to evaluate system stability.Taking a 350 MW ultra-flexible tower-type supercritical coal-fired boiler as the research object,the results show that at 75% and 30% rated loads,the critical heat flux values are 194.90 kW/m

and 26.38 kW/m

,respectively,with actual operating points maintaining sufficient safety margins from the heat flux boundary. When the boiler operates between these two loads,increasing operating pressure and heat flux enhances flow stability,while increasing tube length and reducing pipe inclination angle reduce flow stability. Higher inlet enthalpy shortens the time required for the system to return to stability.This study provides a theoretical basis for the safe operation of boilers during deep peak-shaving.
