Method for improving durability of exhaust pipe

In an exhaust gas purification apparatus or other apparatuses that are supplied with ammonia generated from a urea aqueous solution and causes selective reduction and purification of nitride oxides, a shot peening treatment is applied to a welded portion of its exhaust pipe which is made of a ferritic stainless steel plate and through which exhaust gas containing ammonia and hydrogen passes. By shot peening the welded portion of the exhaust pipe, a tensile residual stress in the welded portion of the exhaust pipe can be replaced with a compressive residual stress, and further the diameter of metal crystal grains in the welded portion can be reduced. In this way, the durability of the exhaust pipe can be improved.

20170057053 · 2017-03-02 ·

An apparatus for blasting a media onto a surface comprises an oscillating nozzle, a mount and a power source. The mount attaches the nozzle to tooling, enabling the nozzle to be raised and lowered about a vertical axis, and enabling the nozzle to be repositioned about a horizontal axis. The power source enables the nozzle to oscillate. The blasting media is sprayed through the nozzle onto the surface. The oscillating nozzle projects an enlarged dispersion pattern of the blasting media onto the surface being treated. The apparatus may include a basket positioned near the mount, enabling an operator to be positioned upon a truss and control the blasting of the media onto the surface, the basket being mounted via a swivel bearing, enabling the basket to self-level. Also, the media blasting apparatus may be controlled by an operator positioned in a remote control computer area.

TRENCHLESS MULTI-STAGE PIPE CLEANING DEVICE AND METHOD COMBINING ARTIFICIAL TORNADO AND DAGGER-LIKE MECHANICAL SAND

The present disclosure provides a trenchless multi-stage pipe cleaning device and method combining an artificial tornado and dagger-like mechanical sand. The trenchless multi-stage pipe cleaning device includes a primary pipe cleaning device and a secondary pipe cleaning device that are connected. An outer wall of the pipe cleaning device is provided with multiple air inlet joint pipes evenly distributed in a circumferential direction. The air inlet joint pipes are connected to an air compressor. Each of the air outlet joints is connected to a nozzle. The primary pipe cleaning device is connected to a vibrating screen. The trenchless multi-stage pipe cleaning device further includes a back-end sewage discharge device. The trenchless multi-stage pipe cleaning method includes: supplying compressed air into an inner chamber of the primary pipe cleaning device to mix with mechanical sand, so as to form a primary gas-solid mixed flow; allowing the primary gas-solid mixed flow to enter the secondary pipe cleaning device; forming an artificial tornado by multiple streams of diagonally tangential high-speed air entering an inner chamber of a secondary pipe cleaning device body; changing, by the artificial tornado, a movement trajectory of the primary gas-solid mixed flow into a spiral shape, tangential with an inner wall of a cleaning target; and driving the primary gas-solid mixed flow to move forward to form a secondary gas-solid mixed flow; where during this process, the mechanical sand continuously scrape and collide with the inner wall of the cleaning target, so as to achieve a desired efficient trenchless water-free pipe cleaning effect.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING STEAM OXIDATION RESISTANCE OF SMALL DIAMETER BOILER TUBE IN COAL-FIRED BOILER

This application relates to the technical field of coal-fired boilers, and provides a method and an apparatus for improving steam oxidation resistance of a small-diameter boiler tube in a coal-fired boiler. The method includes the following steps: cutting a boiler tube panel from a ceiling of the boiler, vertically hoisting and fixing the boiler tube panel, and cutting out a section from a bottom portion of a lower bend of the boiler tube panel; cleaning an inner tube wall of each tube body in the boiler tube panel; performing oxidation resistance coating sintering on the inner tube wall of each tube body in the boiler tube panel; and performing a welding repair on each tube body in a sintered boiler tube panel. All construction processes of this method can be completed in a furnace during shutdown and maintenance, production efficiency is high, and maintenance duration can be significantly reduced. In addition, a steam oxidation resistance layer can be formed on an inner wall of the small-diameter boiler tube, so that a steam oxidation resistance capability of a small-diameter boiler tube in a service coal-fired boiler can be greatly improved.
