Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a computer program for monitoring a component of a cooling system in a rolling mill, wherein the cooling system with the component is used to apply a coolant to a rolling stock to be cooled.
  • the invention also relates to the corresponding cooling system.
  • Known cooling systems in rolling mills essentially consist of a cooling section with a plurality of spray nozzles, which are supplied with a coolant via a system of pumps and valves.
  • the coolant is preferably supplied to the spray nozzles at a required pressure;
  • the coolant is kept in an elevated container and/or the required pressure is generated with one or more pumps.
  • the known cooling system typically includes a control device or a control circuit with an actuator for setting or regulating the actual pressure or the actual volume flow with which the coolant is applied to the rolling stock to be cooled.
  • Various components of the cooling system serve as actuators, such as the pumps, valves or the spray nozzles themselves.
  • control devices or control circuits in question offer the advantage of dynamic and precise application of the coolant with a desired target pressure or target volume flow.
  • the use of speed-controlled pumps makes it possible to keep a pressure loss - and thus an energy loss - which is generated by the said actuators in the cooling system as low as possible.
  • a total coolant flow is determined. Taking into account the total coolant flow and the working pressure of the coolant, a pump pressure is determined that should prevail on the inlet side of the pump, so that the working pressure is reached on the inlet side of the valves.
  • a control state for the pump is determined taking into account the total coolant flow, the pump pressure and a suction pressure prevailing on the inlet side of the pump. The valves and the pump are controlled according to the determined control states.
  • the control device takes into account cyclically for the respective point in time when determining the pump pressure in addition to the total coolant flow and the working pressure of the Coolant also causes a change in the total coolant flow.
  • the calibration characteristic curve of the actuators is the target characteristic data of the actuator, which describes the calibrated behavior of the actuator in a wear-free and error-free state during operation of the cooling system, which is preferably also wear-free and error-free.
  • contamination, deposits, corrosion and wear occur on the actuator and in the system in which the actuator is operated. It can also happen that the outlet openings of the spray nozzles become clogged so that the maximum amounts of cooling water can no longer be set. An even one Cooling of the rolling stock across the width of the bench is then no longer possible and there may therefore be a loss of quality during production.
  • Manual condition monitoring of the cooling system can usually only be carried out during a plant shutdown and is usually very labor-intensive, especially given the typical size of a cooling section in a rolling mill with a large number of actuators that need to be monitored with regard to their condition.
  • the invention is based on the object of developing a known method and computer program for monitoring a component of a cooling system in a rolling mill as well as a corresponding known cooling system with the component for applying a coolant to a rolling stock to be cooled in such a way that it also improves over time With a changed system characteristic curve, the coolant is always applied to the rolling stock to be cooled at a desired target pressure or a desired target volume flow.
  • the purpose of the invention is to establish preferably continuous condition monitoring of the components or actuators of cooling systems in a rolling mill.
  • the method provides that actual characteristics for the component are recorded during and/or after an operating time of the component or the actuator of the cooling system and are subsequently compared with the previously determined or predetermined target characteristics for the component.
  • the actual characteristics represent or include the actual state of the component in its environment with any negative changes that may exist.
  • the target characteristics represent the component and its environment in a fault-free, especially wear-free condition.
  • the comparison makes it possible to determine any characteristic data comparison that represents or indicates malfunctioning of the component.
  • the method then provides that measures for minimization adjustment are taken if the characteristic data deviation exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
  • the measure to be taken to minimize the characteristic data deviation can consist of issuing a warning or a note to an operator of the cooling system or to a reporting system for checking and, if necessary, repairing or replacing the respective component.
  • An additional or alternative measure for minimizing the characteristic data deviation can provide: switching on the characteristic data deviation or a correction value calculated from it as a disturbance variable in the sense of a disturbance variable connection to the control device or the controller in order to determine a corrected manipulated variable and to output the corrected manipulated variable Output of the control device or regulator to the component. This allows even better consideration of system characteristics that change over time when controlling the component.
  • the characteristic data deviation or the correction value calculated therefrom can also be applied as a disturbance variable to a setpoint specification device, which is typically connected upstream of the control device or the regulator.
  • the applied characteristic data deviation or the applied correction value calculated from it is then used in the setpoint specification device to adjust the setpoint for the control device or the regulator accordingly.
  • steps (b) to (d3) are repeated several times, preferably continuously, during operation of the cooling system or during breaks in operation of the cooling system. If the repetitions are very frequent, even small changes in the system characteristic curve can be recorded and taken into account when controlling the component or actuator.
  • the component is, for example, a pump, a valve or a spray nozzle within the cooling system.
  • the actual characteristics are at least individual points of an operating characteristic curve of the component, which describes the behavior of the used component during operation of the cooling system at the time of its detection.
  • the term “used component” means that the component shows a different behavior compared to its new or fault-free condition due to signs of use, for example due to deposits or wear.
  • the target characteristics of at least individual points of a calibrated characteristic curve of the component in a fault-free state are recorded by measurement during operation of the cooling system, typically when it is put into operation.

  • the control circuit has a setpoint setting device 1, for example in the form of a cooling model for specifying a setpoint pressure or a setpoint volume flow with which the coolant is to be supplied to the application device 4 and applied to the rolling stock 20.
  • the control circuit provides that these target values are compared with the actual values for the pressure or volume flow determined by the pressure or volume flow meter 5 by forming a difference in order to determine a control deviation, which is input into a controller 2.
  • the controller 2 itself serves to output a manipulated variable to the controller 2 downstream component 3, in particular a pump.
  • the controller 2 is designed to form the manipulated variable in such a way that the current actual pressure or actual volume flow of the coolant is adapted or regulated to the specified target pressure or target volume flow.
  • the coolant can also only be set to the specified target pressure or target volume flow as part of a control system.
  • the control circuit in the control there is no feedback of the actual pressure or actual volume flow of the coolant in the line 12 determined by the pressure or volume flow meter 5.

  • the component 3 does not remain in its original, error-free state during its period of use in the cooling system 100, but rather is subject to contamination, deposits, corrosion and/or wear.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un programme informatique pour surveiller un composant d'un système de refroidissement dans un laminoir, le système de refroidissement comprenant le composant étant utilisé pour appliquer un liquide de refroidissement sur un produit laminé à refroidir. Afin de pouvoir appliquer un liquide de refroidissement sur le produit à laminer à une pression cible souhaitée ou un débit volumique cible souhaité, non seulement lorsque le composant est dans le nouvel état mais également lorsque le composant est dans l'état utilisé, le système de refroidissement selon l'invention permet l'acquisition de données caractéristiques réelles pour le composant pendant et/ou après la période d'utilisation du composant 3. Ces données caractéristiques réelles sont comparées à des données caractéristiques cibles prédéterminées afin de déterminer un écart de données caractéristiques possible Δ, qui représente un dysfonctionnement du composant 3 par rapport à son nouvel état. La présente invention fournit ensuite diverses mesures pour réduire à un minimum l'écart de données caractéristiques, si celui-ci dépasse une valeur seuil prédéterminée.
