Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of heat supply of generator set, and particularly relates to a hybrid condenser bypass heat supply system and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, heat supply has become the core task of the generator set. The heat supply unit generally adopts a tubular heater to heat the heat network circulating water in the heat exchange pipe through steam to achieve heat supply. However, due to the limitation of the inherent heat exchange efficiency of the tubular heater, the overall heat supply efficiency of the heat supply unit is still at a low level. Such inefficient operation not only leads to energy waste, but also is difficult to meet the growing demand for heat supply, which has become a pain point that needs to be solved in the industry. Especially in the winter heating peak period, the insufficient heat supply efficiency may cause regional heat supply instability, affecting people's livelihood protection. Therefore, breaking through the existing technical bottlenecks and improving the heat supply efficiency have become the key target of optimizing operation and realizing energy saving and emission reduction of power generation enterprises.

[0003] Compared with the traditional tubular heater, the hybrid heater shows significant technical potential. Its heating efficiency is 10%-20% higher than that of the tubular heater, which can effectively improve the overall performance of the heat supply system. The hybrid condenser also has heat exchange advantages, but it has not been matched with the medium-pressure cylinder at present, which limits its large-scale application. This technical disconnection reflects the deficiency of system integration design, which becomes a key obstacle to further improve the heat supply efficiency. For example, the high-efficiency heat exchange characteristics of the hybrid condenser need to be accurately coordinated with the steam parameters of the medium-pressure cylinder, otherwise it may cause unstable system operation. SUMMARY

[0004] To solve the existing problems, the present application provides a hybrid condenser bypass heat supply system and method, which realizes the condenser bypass heat supply function through the combination of the hybrid condenser, the bypass control valve group, the condensate pump and the first station heat exchanger. The multi-stage inclined hole nozzle structure helps the steam to be sprayed more uniformly into the condenser, improving the heat exchange efficiency. The first station heat exchanger can heat the heat network circulating water with the outlet water of the condenser. This way of directly exchanging heat between the medium-pressure cylinder steam and the condensate water significantly improves the heat utilization efficiency and also improves the energy efficiency of the generator set, reducing the production cost.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme.

[0015] The application further provides a mixed condenser bypass heat supply method, which comprises the following steps: Part or all of the exhaust steam from the intermediate-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine enters the mixing condenser through the first pipeline; part or all of the exhaust steam from the intermediate-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine enters the low-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine through the fifth pipeline; part of the condensate from the mixing condenser passes through the second pipeline, undergoes heat exchange in the first-stage heat exchanger, and then returns to the mixing condenser through the third pipeline; part of the condensate from the mixing condenser returns to the deaerator through the fourth pipeline.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This system provides a well-defined and complete hybrid condenser bypass heating system. Through the combination of a hybrid condenser, bypass control valve group, condensate pump, and primary heat exchanger, it achieves condenser bypass heating functionality. The multi-stage inclined nozzle structure helps to inject steam more evenly into the condenser, improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0024] Preferably, the steam inlet of the hybrid condenser is connected to the exhaust port of the low-pressure cylinder through a fifth pipeline, and a steam inlet regulating valve for the hybrid condenser is installed. This can make full use of the heat from the exhaust steam of the low-pressure cylinder, further expand the heat supply sources of the system, and improve energy efficiency.

[0033] Specifically, such asFigure 1 As shown, the inlets of the mixing condenser inlet regulating valve 2 and the low-pressure cylinder inlet regulating valve 11 are connected to the exhaust port of the turbine intermediate-pressure cylinder 1 through pipelines; the outlet of the mixing condenser inlet regulating valve 2 is connected to the inlet of the mixing condenser 3 through pipelines; and the outlet of the low-pressure cylinder inlet regulating valve 11 is connected to the inlet of the low-pressure cylinder 10 through pipelines.

[0038] The control system is electrically connected to the electric regulating valve and the pneumatic quick-closing valve, respectively.

[0039] The pressure sensor is a diffused silicon pressure transmitter.

[0040] There are several temperature sensors, one of which is installed on the third pipe 14.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for bypassing heating in a hybrid condenser.
