Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of condensers, and in particular to a condenser for an axial exhaust steam turbine and a use method thereof. Background Art
[0002] A condenser is a heat exchanger that condenses steam from a steam turbine into water. It is also called a rehydrator. It is mainly used in steam turbine power plants and is divided into two types: water-based condensers and air-based condensers. After the steam enters the condenser, it exchanges heat with the cooling medium. During the heat transfer process, the heat in the steam will be transferred to the cooling medium, causing its temperature to rise. At the same time, the water molecules in the steam will gradually condense into liquid water, releasing a large amount of latent heat until it is completely condensed into water.
[0003] An existing high-efficiency heat exchange device for a steam turbine condenser (Announcement No.: CN221349766U) has at least the following disadvantages: the above patent transports high-temperature gas into a fixed shell through an air inlet, and then condenses the hot steam through a heat dissipation mechanism in the fixed shell. Since the position of the air inlet is fixed, it is difficult for the incoming hot gas to evenly fill the interior of the fixed shell, so that the hot steam cannot fully contact the condenser tube, resulting in a poor condensation effect of the condenser tube on the hot steam.

[0034] When in use, the hot air entering the air intake pipe 2 will blow the fan blades 18 to rotate, so that the fan blades 18 drive the rotating tube 17 to rotate. Since the guide column 15 installed at the top of the lifting rod 14 is slidably installed with the inner wall of the closed-loop guide groove 19 opened on the inner wall of the rotating tube 17, the rotating tube 17 can drive the lifting rod 14 to move up and down through the closed-loop guide groove 19 and the guide column 15 when rotating, so that the inverted V-shaped guide frame 12 installed at the bottom end of the lifting rod 14 can move up and down accordingly, so that the inclined groove 13 opened through the side of the inverted V-shaped guide frame 12 can drive the two diverter plates 9 to swing around their hinge points through the guide column 11, so that the two diverter plates 9 can intermittently guide the hot steam entering from the air intake pipe 2 to the two sides of the outer shell 1, so that the hot steam can be evenly filled into the inner wall of the outer shell 1, so that the hot steam can contact the condenser 5 more comprehensively, which can effectively improve the condensation effect of the condenser 5 on the hot steam.

[0036] When in use, the water pump 24 draws the condensed liquid in the water receiving bucket 3 into the spraying pipe 21 through the connecting pipe 25 and the conducting pipe 23, so that the nozzle installed on the spraying pipe 21 can spray the condensed liquid to contact the hot steam injected into the outer shell 1, thereby further cooling the hot steam and accelerating the efficiency of hot steam condensation.
[0037] In this embodiment, the swing mechanism includes a rack 30 slidably mounted on the top wall of the outer shell 1, a gear 27 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the spray pipe 21, the rack 30 is meshed with the gear 27, a pushing assembly is installed on the outer surface of the rotating tube 17, the pushing assembly includes an eccentric wheel 20 fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the bottom end of the rotating tube 17, a guide rod 29 is fixedly mounted on one end of the rack 30 close to the rotating tube 17, a limit block 28 is fixedly mounted on the top wall of the outer shell 1, the guide rod 29 penetrates the outer surface of the limit block 28 and is slidably mounted therewith, a top plate 31 is fixedly mounted on one end of the guide rod 29 away from the rack 30, the top plate 31 is abutted against the outer periphery of the eccentric wheel 20, a compression spring 32 is sleeved on the outer surface of the guide rod 29, and the compression spring 32 is arranged between the top plate 31 and the limit block 28.
[0038] When the rotating tube 17 rotates, the eccentric wheel 20 will be driven to rotate, so that the eccentric wheel 20 cooperates with the compression spring 32 to continuously push the top plate 31 to move, so that the top plate 31 can continuously push the rack 30 to move back and forth through the guide rod 29, so that the rack 30 can drive the spray pipe 21 to swing back and forth through the gear 27 meshing therewith, so that the nozzle installed on the spray pipe 21 can evenly spray the condensed liquid in the shell 1, so that the sprayed condensed liquid can contact with the hot steam, thereby further cooling the hot steam and accelerating the efficiency of hot steam condensation.
