Abstract

The invention relates to an online detecting method and device for air leakage quantity of a vacuum system of a turbo generator unit. The device and method can be used for measuring the amount of the air leaked from a condenser which is vacuumized by using a water-ring vacuum pump, on line. The method comprises the following specific steps of: additionally arranging a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a gas flow rate sensor and an absolute humidity sensor behind the water-ring vacuum pump, determining the mass flow of the water vapor in a pump-out pipeline in certain particular working condition through parameters measured by the sensors, and calculating to obtain the mass flow of the pumped-out air by using a thermodynamic formula, wherein the mass flow of the pumped-out air is the sum of air leak-in rates of all negative pressure parts of the whole vacuum system. The invention has the advantages of clear and accurate measuring principle, simple measuring mechanism, convenience for installation and capabilities of measuring air leakage amount of the condenser on line and providing a reliable parameter basis for the vacuum system of the turbo generator unit to maintain a higher vacuum level and a guarantee for the safe and economic production of a power plant.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an on-line detection method and device for the air leakage of the vacuum system of a steam turbine generator set in a power plant. Background technique [0002] The vacuum system of the turbogenerator unit includes: the steam side of the condenser, the air extraction system and other negative pressure parts. Its function is to enable the steam to convert the enthalpy into the kinetic energy of the steam turbine to the maximum extent, and finally convert it into electrical energy. The vacuum of the condenser has a great influence on the economic benefits of the unit. Every 1kPa increase in the vacuum value of the condenser will reduce the coal consumption of power supply by about 3g / kW·h. Therefore, maintaining a high vacuum of the turbo-generator unit can significantly improve the economy of the power plant. [0003] In addition, from the perspective of safe production, it is also essential to maintain the vacuum of the turboge...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. The air leaking into the condenser, in addition to increasing the pressure and temperature of the exhaust steam and reducing the economy of the steam turbine, will also deform the low-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine due to high steam temperature, causing the unit to vibrate

[0005] 2. Due to the increase of partial pressure of air, the solubility of air in water is increased, the corrosion of low-pressure pipes and low-pressure heaters is aggravated, and the burden of deaerator is increased, which is...
