    [0001] The present invention relates to a method for detecting deficiencies of an air cooler of a thermal installation. energy of a hot source for vaporizing a coolant, typically water. The steam thus produced is admitted into a turbine where its expansion causes the rotation of a rotor of the turbine, coupled to an alternator which converts the mechanical energy of the turbine into electrical energy. At the outlet of the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser fed by a cold source. It is in the liquid state and this condensate is returned to the water supply system for a new vaporization cycle. For many high power plants, the cold source 20 is one or more air coolers. The function of the drycoolers is to evacuate the heat coming from the condenser towards the outside environment by circulating hot water in a flow of air. With reference to FIG. 1, a cooling tower 2 is often understood to mean equipment comprising a large concrete tower 25 most often in the form of a hyperboloid. The water to be cooled, coming from the condenser 3 via a circuit 4 fed by a pump 40, is led through a pipe within the tower 20. From this inlet it is dispersed using a network of ramps pierced and then gravity flow over a honeycomb lining to provide a large contact area between the liquid and the air. A flow of air circulates against the current. Part of the water will evaporate, which favors the exchange of heat and improves the cooling of the water. To compensate for this evaporation and prevent the dissolved species in the cooling water from concentrating too much, a supplement of cold water is provided by a booster circuit 5 taking water from a river. A purge circuit 6 allows to return the overflow of water that flows to the river.
    [0002] The cooling towers bring satisfactions, but prove to be a critical element of a thermal power station. Indeed, a deficiency (and generally a loss of efficiency) of the drycooler leads to a very significant loss of plant efficiency and therefore of electricity production, or even an emergency stop for reasons of safety if the air-cooler is no longer able to evacuate enough heat. It is known to carry out tests including the verification of physical parameters of the air cooler, but the existing solutions only note a loss of efficiency of the air cooler. Moreover, it can be seen that these performances are very dependent on environmental conditions (wind, air temperature, river temperature, etc.). In addition, standards such as EN 14705 (being replaced ISO 16345) and CTI ATC 105 provide protocols for performing point thermal performance tests. These tests of a duration of about a week imply the implementation of a heavy and expensive logistics to manage all the phases of the test: displacement on site, assembly acquisitions, disassembly, analysis. That is why this solution is in practice never implemented for the monitoring in the duration of the evolution of the performance. The performance tests are at best only done before and after a heavy maintenance intervention or in case of suspicion of malfunction. It would be desirable for a technical solution to follow efficiently and objectively the evolution of the performance of the air coolers, so as to allow the early or even early detection of operating failures, the identification of their origin and the quantification of the associated losses, or plan maintenance operations. The invention improves the situation.

    [0008] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION With reference to FIG. 2, the invention proposes a method for detecting deficiencies of a dry cooler 2 of a thermal installation 1 operating in a given environment. The air cooler 2 is configured to cool a heat transfer fluid of the plant 1. This method is designed to be continuously implemented over the life of the air cooler 2, and not only during a test campaign. In a preferred manner (and this example will be used in the remainder of the description), the installation 1 is a thermal (electrical) power plant, in particular a flame or nuclear power plant, but it will be understood that the installation 1 may be n ' any industrial infrastructure requiring energy dissipation. Alternatively to the plants, the thermal installation 1 may for example be a petrochemical site, a foundry, a data center, etc.
    [0009] Likewise, the present process does not only concern naturally draft tower type coolers (which are the well known ones used for nuclear power plants), inasmuch as there are many air-cooling units which do not have this shape and for which the flow of air is created by fans. In the remainder of the present description, the nonlimiting example of an air cooler 2 with natural draft against the current for which the coolant to be cooled is water of a cooling circuit 4 of a condenser is taken. 3. The atmospheric air rises in the tower and the water of the circuit 4 flows down and down.
    [0010] The process is carried out by means of a system 10 for monitoring the performance of the air cooler, coupled to the latter. The system 10 essentially consists of data processing means 11 such as a processor, data storage means 12 such as a memory (for example a hard disk) storing a reference database relating to tests. (Each sensor 13) measures a value of one or more physical parameters relating to the air cooler 2. The data processing means 11 and the data storage means 12 are generally those of a workstation, typically provided with an input and output interface for reproducing the results of the method (and if necessary trigger an alarm, visually or audibly, in case of current deficiency) or imminent detected). Alternatively, the data processing means 12 may be those of a remote server connected to the rest of the system 10 by an internet-type network. As will be seen below, some of these physical parameters are called "endogenous" that is to say they are specific to the operation of the air cooler 2, they are parameters whose value is a "consequence" 2. In the remainder of the present description, it will be assumed that only one exogenous parameter is studied, in this case the "outlet temperature", that is to say the temperature circuit water 4 at the outlet of the air cooler 2. It will be understood that other endogenous parameters may be chosen, for example the flow rate of water evaporated by the air cooler 2. It is noted that a combination of two endogenous parameters can be used, such as the ratio of incoming water flow to incoming airflow. Other physical parameters are said to be "exogenous", that is to say they are specific to said environment of the air cooler 2. This definition must be taken in a broad sense, and by exogenous parameter we will hear any parameter of which the value is a "cause" of the state of the air cooler 2, ie influencing the value of the endogenous parameter (s). The exogenous parameters are either parameters directly controlled by the operator (for example the thermal power produced by the plant or the flow rate of water injected via the booster circuit 6) or purely external parameters such as wind speed or the temperature of the ambient air. It should be noted that depending on the model chosen, some endogenous parameters may become exogenous and vice versa (for example the endogenous parameter of a model may be "fixed" and become a control parameter, whereas another parameter previously fixed becomes a consequence of the others, ie an endogenous parameter) In the remainder of the present description, the main example of the exogenous parameter is the wind speed, but the following may be mentioned: the wind direction, the humidity of the wind ambient air, - the ambient air temperature, - the rainfall, 25 - the atmospheric pressure, - the air temperature entering the air cooler 2, - the hot water temperature entering the air cooler 2, - the temperature of the purge water, - etc.
    [0011] In general, it will be understood that the system 10 comprises a sensor network 13 connected with or wirelessly to the data processing means 11. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the central unit 1 can be equipped with a mat 3033036 10 weather 7 (optimally arranged at a distance between 500 m and 2 km from the air cooler 2) at the top of which are installed one or more sensors 13 measuring the values of physical parameters related to the climate (speed and direction of the wind, rainfall, temperatures, etc.). Typically, twenty or so sensors 13 measure at regular intervals as many physical quantities. Preferably, the measured quantities will be chosen from those listed for the standard EN 14705 / ISO 16345. Method - Calculation of ETOA 10 The present method for detecting deficiencies of an air cooler 2 of a thermal power station 1 operating in a given environment begins with the implementation by the sensors 13 of a step (a) of measuring a set of physical parameter values relating to the air cooler 2, including at least one endogenous parameter specific to the operation of the cooler and at least one exogenous parameter own audit environment. As explained, this measurement step can be done at regular intervals. The acquired values are transmitted to the data processing means 11.
    [0012] The acquisition of the value of each of the parameters can be performed at regular intervals, for example every minute (or even several times per minute or every second). Over a period of time (for example ten minutes, but durations of one minute to one hour give good results), the different values acquired can be locally averaged so as to constitute what is called a test. A test is therefore defined as a vector of parameter values averaged over a small number of consecutive measurements. Assuming that a test is obtained every ten minutes, one can have more than one hundred tests per day. Alternatively, it will be understood that one is not limited to this notion of a test grouping a plurality of measurements and that each measurement instant can be treated independently (as a test) in the rest of the process.
    [0013] Each test is not necessarily reliable, and preferably step (a) comprises checking the measured values before taking into account the test. In other words, a set of conditions of stability and validity of the data are verified.
    [0014] For this purpose one or more filters (stability and / or reliability) are used so as to take into account only the measurements according to the filter (i.e. relevant to characterize the performance of the air cooler 2). For example, the following are excluded: measurements that have been too high in a given period of time (for example more than 5% over one hour), some exogenous parameters have values that are too high (for example, wind over 4 ms-1). Some more complex filters (going beyond a simple comparison of the value or the derivative with a threshold can be implemented), such as the verification of a sufficient time since the last peak (used for example for the wind). If the measure is rejected, the test is considered "invalid" and is not taken into account. Only the tests kept will then be treated in the rest of the process.
    [0015] It should be noted that the thresholds associated with the filters are adjustable to find the best understood so as to have enough held trials to have the best accuracy in the result, without keeping potentially less reliable tests. For example, on a windy site, the wind speed threshold may be increased or even eliminated.
    [0016] In a second step (b), the data processing means 11 calculate, according to said values of the physical parameters and of a model, at least one expected optimal value of said endogenous parameter. Optimum value means the theoretical value which this endogenous parameter should present in the absence of deficiencies of the air cooler 2. A slight difference with this expected value will be of the order of the normal fluctuations, but a difference of more than 30%. important will be the sign of a disability, as we will see later. In the case where the endogenous parameter is the temperature of the outlet water, said expected optimum value is called the TOA (expected optimum temperature). The difference between the TOA and the output temperature actually measured as an endogenous parameter is called the ETOA (TOA deviation). Note that the relative difference (i.e. the ratio) can be estimated rather than the actual difference. This is for example proposed if the endogenous parameter 10 is the flow of evaporated water. The ratio of theoretical evaporated water flow to optimum evaporated water flow rate is called the "capacity" of the dry cooler. The model used is a physical model based on thermodynamic equations or performance curves describing the expected operation of the air cooler 2. This model is either available from the design of the thermal power station 1, or updated following the last renovation of the air cooler 2. For example, we can use: - Merkel's law given by the equation: (Qmall Me = C Qte) Where = fT2 + Dte Cpe dT, with Qma the mass flow of air, which, the flow, T2 (hs-h) 20 mass of water, T2 the outlet temperature of water, h the enthalpy of air, hs is the enthalpy of saturated air at the temperature of the water, Cpe the specific heat of the water, Dte is the temperature difference (ie T2 + Dte is the temperature of entry); The Equation of Losses of Load C V2 P1 P2 = gH f. D, with pi and p2 the density of the air entering and leaving the air cooler 2, H the pulling height, g the acceleration of the gravity and VD the wind speed. C, n and Cf are constants that can be provided by the manufacturer during the commissioning acceptance tests of the air cooler or they are calculated from the first months of data acquired by the system. With reference to FIG. 3, using these equations, the TOA as an endogenous parameter can be estimated as a function of the values of six exogenous parameters: - The air inlet temperature Tair - The relative humidity of the inlet air HR; - The wind speed VD; The ambient pressure Pa; 10 - The flow of water flowing in the circuit 4 Qe; - The water temperature difference between the output and the input Dte (in practice, the exogenous parameter is the input temperature, to which the output temperature is subtracted). Certain parameters may further be used, such as make-up water temperature (on circuit 6) and wind direction. It should be noted that alternatively, some of these parameters can be set as constants. FIG. 3 represents an iterative algorithm which allows after a certain number of iterations (varying the values of Qma (the mass flow rate of air) and T2 (the exit temperature)) of solving the above equations and to get the TOA T2. It will be understood that the invention is in no way limited to this algorithm which is only one possibility among others. Preferably, the system 10 comprises data storage means 12 storing a database of previous tests. It will be assumed that the database takes into account both: - nominal tests, that is to say that, on the one hand, they conform to the possible stability / validity filtering mentioned before, and that of on the other hand, it was found that no deficiency affected the coolant 2 during this test); and - non-nominal tests, that is to say for which a measurement problem (defective sensor) or value 3033036 14 (potential deficiency of the air cooler 2) is identified. These non-nominal tests offer a lot of information that can be exploited to improve the installation 1. Taking these previous tests into account makes it possible to refine the calculated value of the optimal value expected, in the way that we see Figures 4a-4c. The latter represent the example of the effect of the wind on the expected optimum temperature (in particular, FIG. 4a represents the "theoretical" TOA as a function of V0, setting nominal values for all the other parameters so as to have of a function in dimension 1). The idea is that the purely theoretical consideration of the effect of the wind is not sufficient because it omits details such as the presence of obstacles around the air-cooler (the engine room, other 15 air coolers, etc.). FIG. 4b thus represents a scatter plot of each representing an earlier test, giving the ETOA, i.e. the TOA deviation obtained, for a measured wind speed value during the test. By extrapolation, a correction function can be obtained. Curve 4c represents the "experimental" TOA (ie the theoretical curve corrected with the actual data) as a function of V0, corresponding to the sum of the curves of FIGS. 4a and 4b. At the end of step (b), the theoretical optimal value of the parameter under study (typically the TOA) and / or the deviation of this theoretical value from the measured value (typically ETOA) are available. It will be possible to deduce any existing or imminent deficiencies of the air cooler 2. Method - determination of deficiencies In a step (c), the data processing means 11 determine at least one function of the air cooler 2 potentially 3033036 deficient as a function of the difference between the measured value and the expected optimum value of said endogenous parameter and / or the variation of said deviation (this is what is called the drift rate). As explained, the deficiency can be current (a technical problem requiring urgent intervention) or future (imminent or longer-term, ie an anomaly requiring the provision of maintenance in the short or medium term, because gradually degrading the performance of the air cooler 2) is detected). For this purpose, the data processing means 11 advantageously begin by aggregating the ETOAs obtained over a time interval, for example a day, by making it an arithmetic mean (this is called ETOAJ). We denote VAR J the variation of two consecutive ETOAJs. With reference to FIG. 5, this variation value of the ETOAJ is compared with a plurality of thresholds: If VAR J <0.5K, then the fluctuation is normal; - If 0.5K> VAR J> 2K, then there is a doubt; - If VAR J> 2K, then a failure of the air cooler 2 is strongly suspected.
    [0017] In cases 2 and 3, the failure of a function of the air cooler is explored. Potential faulty functions include: - Bypass valve kept open; - Overflow of the hot water basin (cross currents); 25 - Overflow of the water tower (countercurrent), - Many stick jets, - Return on complete dispersion unsatisfactory after sectorization; - Unjustified frost function; 30 - Etc. Depending on the value of VAR J and especially ETOAJ (the higher the ETOAJ, the higher the performance drop is) some functions may be suspected more than others. The value of some parameters can also be used. For example, the frost-free mode is mainly suspected when a concomitant high VAR J is first detected with a continuous decrease in air temperature close to 0 ° C ("normal" frost mode) followed an increase in air temperature with VAR J close to 0 (frost mode remained blocked). Automatic filters thus make it possible to suspect certain functions and to consider either a local technical intervention (small problem such as a bypass valve kept open), or to plan / prioritize a maintenance intervention (case of drifts much slower but persistent). In all cases, a step (d) comprises the implementation of a test of each function of the air cooler 2 determined to be potentially deficient, so as to see if the suspicion was justified. This step can either be implemented informally, via a test routine, or by asking a technician for an intervention (and confirmation on the system 10 of the suspicion of impairment). If necessary, a triggering step (e) is performed by the data processing means 11 of an alarm if at least one function of the air cooler 2 is tested deficient. The alarm can be a visual signal (eg via a color code, especially red if the solution is an urgent intervention), or a notification of a potential problem in the longer term if the solution is a maintenance operation.
    [0018] The type of alarm implemented by the means 11 may depend on the function identified as deficient. It will be noted that the present method makes it possible: On the one hand to avoid stops (fortuitous or even emergency) of a power station wafer in the event of an anomaly since local technical interventions can be triggered rapidly, 3033036 17 - On the other hand optimize maintenance operations (which are traditionally performed at predetermined times rather than when they are needed); - But still to propose an alternative to the load drop 5 in the case of certain anomalies such as a scaling crisis. It should also be noted that the tests can, as explained, come to enrich said test database. In other words, the step 10 (c) advantageously comprises the storage of said measured values in step (a) of the physical parameters relating to the air cooler 2. It is noted that the results of the possible filters can also be stored in the database.
    [0019] System and Central According to a second aspect, system 10 is provided for implementing the present defect detection method of an air cooler 2 of a thermal power station 1 operating in a given environment. This system 10 for detecting deficiencies of an air cooler 2 of a thermal power station 1 operating in a given environment comprises, as explained, sensors 13, data processing means 11 and advantageously data storage means 12. The sensors 13 measure (at regular intervals) a set of physical parameter values relating to the air cooler 2, including at least one endogenous parameter specific to the operation of the air cooler 2 and at least one exogenous parameter specific to said environment.
    [0020] The data processing means 11 are configured to implement: a calculation module according to said values of the physical parameters and a model of at least one expected optimum value of said endogenous parameter; a module for determining at least one function of the air cooler 2 potentially deficient as a function of the difference between the measured value and the expected optimal value of said endogenous parameter and / or the variation of said difference; o a test module of each function of the air cooler 10 2 determined to be potentially deficient; o a module for triggering an alarm if at least one function of the air cooler 2 is tested deficient. The data storage means 12 store a reference database of previous measurements of physical parameter values relating to the air cooler 2. According to a third aspect, the thermal installation 1 is proposed (typically the power plant, in particular flame or nuclear) comprising a defect detection system of at least one of its aircoolers 2, of the type shown in FIG. 2.
