一体化 CUI 控制系统：柔性 ER 实时腐蚀监测与 VCI 干燥空气加注系统
Abstract / 摘要
Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is a catastrophic, hidden threat in high-temperature petrochemical piping and localized manifolds. Traditional methods are entirely passive and fail to detect electrolyte leaks early. This paper presents a next-generation Closed-Loop Active CUI Control System. The solution integrates flexible thin-film ER sensors (0.02mm to 0.3mm), VCI self-fusing silicone carrier bands, perforated PPS micro-drainage plugs, and a VCI POWER multi-stage pneumatic injection manifold. Backed by an IoT cloud diagnostics pipeline, this setup moves facility protection from blind reactive maintenance to automated, chemical-physical asset preservation.
保温层下腐蚀（CUI） 是石化高温管道及局部管网中极具破坏性的隐蔽威胁。传统防腐手段完全是被动的，且无法在早期发现电解质泄漏。本文推出了一种创新的 闭环主动式 CUI 控制系统。该方案有机集成了 0.02mm 至 0.3mm 柔性薄膜 ER 传感器、VCI 气相防锈自融硅胶带、打孔 PPS 微排水塞，以及 VCI POWER 多级气动加注分配歧管。在物联网（IoT）云端诊断链路的支持下，该系统将工厂防护从盲目的“事后抢修”提升为全自动、理化协同的资产全生命周期主动保护。

1.1 VCI POWER Dry Air Injection System / VCI POWER 气相干燥空气加注系统
The mechanical cornerstone of the active system is the VCI POWER multi-stage pneumatic filtration and dosing distribution assembly. It actively alters the internal environment of the insulation matrix:
- Pneumatic Parameters (气动参数): The unit operates at an ultra-low, non-destructive positive pressure of 0.01 to 0.05 MPa, regulating a continuous rated throughput flow of up to 500 L/min.
- Dual-Zone Manifold Distribution (双头接10气管): Equipped with a dual-head main interface supplying ten parallel 10mm distribution air tubes, the controller simultaneously purges dense networks of insulation jackets without pressure drops.
- Active Moisture Purge & Chemical Dosing: Compressed air is stripped of liquid vapor via modular filter bowls and enriched with volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI POWER) agents. This dry, chemical-loaded air is continuously driven through the jacket’s air inject ports, converting wet padding into an actively dried, vapor-passivated bed.
1.2 Multi-Functional PPS Drainage & Aeration Matrix / 多功能 PPS 排水与曝气布阵
Complementing the pneumatic injection block are the perforated PPS (Polyphenylsulfone) drain plugs and protective sealing caps:
- Gravity Micro-Drainage: Positioned at the lowest gravity drain limits of the cladding jacket, these rugged polymer sleeves guide pooled water directly out of the asset loop.
- Convective Venting Profile (Air Holes): Built-in micro air holes interact with the VCI POWER forced air purge, venting displaced humid vapors out of the insulation shell while keeping structural insulation properties intact.
1.3 Flexible Thin-Film ER Sensor & VCI Carrier Tape / 柔性薄膜 ER 传感器与 VCI 载体带
- Curved Surface Conformability: The monitoring core uses an ultra-thin flexible electrode matrix (0.02 mm to 0.3 mm) adhered directly to VCI silicone autolysis tape.
- Molecular Film Preservation: The self-fusing carrier band seals complex joints, elbows, and flanges. Under process heat, it works alongside the VCI POWER injection stream to deposit a continuous, microscopic chemical barrier across bare metal, fully isolating steel from moisture ingress.
2. IoT Telemetry and Cloud Diagnostics / 物联网远程通信与云端诊断
The real-time degradation profile of the flexible ER sensor grid is continuously transmitted from the edge microcontroller via MQTT to the centralized live platform (://iawlin.com):
2.1 Low-Level Firmware Validation / 底层固件高精度校验
- Electrical Reference Lock: To prevent noise corruptions in harsh high-voltage fields, the loop utilizes an isolated Reference Voltage at 0.121 V and a Reference Electrode potential at 0.868 V to guarantee stable ADC resistance calculation (
PCB_Rvs.R0). - Low-Power Edge Loop (
LowPowerServiceLoop): The edge node sleeps until scheduled sampling triggers, parsing thickness variations down to the micron level before wrapping data into standard JSON payloads.
2.2 Cloud Predictive Dashboard Analytics / 云端预测性看板分析
- Dual-Velocity Tracking (双模速率追踪): The software instantly graphs the 24-hour average corrosion rate (e.g., 48.57 mm/y) alongside explosive peak corrosion spikes (up to 99.07 mm/y). These peaks alert operators to intense water flushes or chemical tracing leaks at specific timestamps (such as
2026-10-14 14:14:27). - Remaining Lifespan Gauge (有效寿命进度条): The cloud dashboard outputs a clear graphical tracker of the Sensor Remaining Useful Life percentage (e.g., 26% remaining). This indicator eliminates guesswork, allowing teams to schedule preventive probe swap-outs during routine factory turnarounds before structural steel damage occurs.
