TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of nuclear power engineering, and particularly relates to an out-of-furnace horizontal steam-water separation device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In a power station, saturated steam enters a steam turbine, so the steam discharged from a high-pressure cylinder has a high humidity after work. However, a series of devices located behind the high-pressure cylinder have a high requirement for dryness, so it is necessary to reduce the humidity of the steam discharged from the high-pressure cylinder. In order to reduce the humidity of the steam, a steam-water separation device is arranged to separate the wet steam, so as to improve the dryness of the wet steam. The steam-water separation device is generally located in the upstream direction of the steam turbine in the steam turbine unit of the power station, and its function is to separate the fine water droplets carried by the wet steam, to provide dry saturated steam with qualified quality to the steam turbine, and to ensure the safe and economic operation of the steam turbine.
[0003] At present, existing steam-water separation devices of power stations are generally divided into two types. One is a simple separation unit packaged in a pipeline. This separation device has a low separation efficiency, cannot meet the dryness requirement for safe and stable operation of the steam turbine, and seriously affects the service life of the steam turbine. The other is a more complex separation device with a high separation efficiency, but the steam inlet and outlet are generally arranged in the vertical direction, which requires a large height and has a low space utilization rate. Especially when the height of the power station workshop is limited, it seriously affects the space layout of the workshop. SUMMARY
[0004] Therefore, the present application provides an out-of-furnace horizontal steam-water separation device, which solves the problems of the existing steam-water separator, such as inconvenient use in a small space, low space utilization rate, and poor steam-water separation effect.
[0005] The present application is realized by the following technical solutions:
[0006] The out-of-furnace horizontal steam-water separation device comprises a horizontally arranged cylinder, steam inlets and outlets are arranged at both ends of the cylinder, a steam-water separation unit and a flow separation unit are arranged in the cylinder, the flow separation unit divides the inside of the cylinder into a cylinder area and a flow separation area, the steam inlet is arranged in the cylinder area, and the steam outlet is arranged in the flow separation area, a drain port is arranged at the bottom of the cylinder, the steam-water separation unit is arranged in the flow separation area and communicates with the drain port.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the present application has at least the following technical effects:
[0008] The steam-water separation device of the present application adopts a horizontal small-diameter elongated arrangement mode, which can greatly reduce the size of the steam-water separation device and improve the space utilization efficiency; meanwhile, a flow separation unit is arranged in the cylinder to separate the inside of the cylinder, wet steam enters the cylinder and passes through the flow separation unit to guide the uniform distribution of the steam and balance the steam flow rate change, so that the wet steam is uniformly distributed before entering the steam-water separation unit, effectively improving the separation efficiency and the quality of the outlet steam.
[0009] Further, the flow separation unit is composed of an inlet and outlet baffle and a flow separation plate, the inlet and outlet baffles are respectively vertically arranged at the ends of the cylinder near the steam inlet and outlet, and the flow separation plate is obliquely arranged in the cylinder and vertically connected to the inlet and outlet baffles at both ends.
[0010] Further, the flow separation plate is a perforated plate, and the opening size of the perforated plate gradually decreases from the end connected to the inlet baffle to the end connected to the outlet baffle. Since the steam flow rate gradually decreases as the steam flows from the inlet to the outlet, the opening size of the flow separation plate is arranged to gradually decrease from the steam inlet to the steam outlet, and the resistance of the flow separation plate gradually increases, so as to balance the change of the steam flow rate from large to small, so that the steam is uniformly distributed near the inlet of the steam-water separation unit, effectively improving the separation efficiency and the quality of the outlet steam.
[0011] Further, a sealing unit is further arranged in the cylinder, the sealing unit is arranged around the bottom of the steam-water separation unit to seal the space between the steam-water separation unit and the drain port and form a drain area. The sealing unit supports the steam-water separation unit and seals the drain space, reduces the possibility of wet steam bringing water into the steam flow again, and makes the drain process not be disturbed by the steam flow and quickly discharged from the cylinder through the drain connector.

One end of the sealing plate is fixed to the bottom of the steam-water separation unit, and the other end of the sealing plate abuts against the inner wall of the cylinder near the drain port through the sealing pad, supporting the steam-water separation unit and sealing the space between the steam-water separation unit and the drain port to form a drain area.
[0013] Further, a support unit is further arranged in the cylinder, the support unit includes a support plate and a support pad, the support plate is arranged at the top of the steam-water separation unit, and the other end of the support plate abuts against the inner wall of the cylinder through the support pad. The support unit supports and fixes the steam-water separation unit to avoid the steam-water separation unit from shaking due to the influence of the air flow or the external environment.
[0014] Further, the cylinder body comprises a cylinder body and a head arranged at both ends of the cylinder body, and the steam inlet and outlet are arranged at positions corresponding to the axial direction of the cylinder body. The steam inlet and outlet are arranged in the axial direction of the steam-water separation device, so that the steam-water separation device can be used as a part of the gas conveying pipeline, the space utilization rate can be greatly improved, and the trend of the space of the slender device in the power station field in recent years is met.
[0015] Further, a safety valve interface is arranged on the top side wall of the cylinder body.
[0016] Further, an observation hole is arranged on the top side wall of the cylinder body, so as to facilitate observation of the internal condition of the cylinder body.
[0017] Further, a support is arranged at the bottom of the cylinder body.
[0018] The application also has the following technical effects:
[0019] The sealing unit is arranged at the bottom of the steam-water separation unit, so as to separate the wet steam, dry steam and water, which can improve the quality of the dry steam and make the water rapidly pass through the water outlet pipe and be discharged from the cylinder body.
[0020] The application has the advantages of simple structure and convenient use, and the calculation analysis and test show that the steam-water separation device has higher separation efficiency, and the separation efficiency can reach 98% under the optimal working condition.
