Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of steam turbine cylinder warming technology, and specifically to an apparatus and method for steam turbine cylinder warming using high-temperature nitrogen gas. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, during the cold start-up of steam turbines in thermal power units of various capacities, a high-pressure cylinder warm-up is necessary. This warm-up requires steam with specific parameters, obtained from the boiler by burning No. 0 diesel and coal. This process is time-consuming (even longer for units with poor vibration), resulting in energy waste. According to incomplete statistics, the fuel cost for a 600,000 kW thermal power unit during cold start-up ranges from approximately 1.2 million to 2.4 million yuan. Assuming the warm-up time accounts for about 1 / 4 of the total cold start-up time, the fuel cost for warm-up is estimated at 300,000 to 600,000 yuan. Based on the plant's two 600,000 kW units undergoing four cold starts per year, the annual fuel cost for warm-up is approximately 1.2 million to 2.4 million yuan.

[0003] The main function of traditional steam turbine cylinder warm-up is to heat the internal components of the turbine, including the rotor, stator, inner cylinder, outer cylinder, and main valves, using high-temperature, high-pressure steam. It also involves closely monitoring parameters such as differential expansion and cylinder expansion to prevent rubbing during high-speed turbine rotation. With energy conservation and emission reduction now in a critical phase, energy saving during unit startup is extremely important. To conserve fuel consumed during cold-start thermal power units due to cylinder warm-up, a reliable, energy-efficient, and highly effective cylinder warm-up system is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for warming up a steam turbine cylinder using high-temperature nitrogen gas, so as to solve the problems of high energy waste and high cost in the existing high-temperature and high-pressure steam cylinder warming technology.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a device for warming up a steam turbine cylinder using high-temperature nitrogen gas. The technical solution employed is as follows: A device for warming up a steam turbine cylinder using high-temperature nitrogen gas includes: a nitrogen gas input system, a nitrogen gas heating system, and a nitrogen gas circulation system. The nitrogen input system is connected to the nitrogen heating system and is used to input nitrogen. The nitrogen heating system is connected to the nitrogen input system and the nitrogen circulation system, and is used to heat the input nitrogen. The nitrogen circulation system is connected to the nitrogen heating system and is used to input heated nitrogen into the high-pressure cylinder of the steam turbine for warming, and then output the heated nitrogen flowing out of the high-pressure cylinder and circulate it back to the nitrogen heating system.

[0006] Furthermore, the nitrogen circulation system includes a heated nitrogen input system and a heated nitrogen output system. The heated nitrogen input system is connected to the nitrogen heating system and to the high-pressure cylinder, and is used to input heated nitrogen into the high-pressure cylinder. The heated nitrogen output system is connected to the high-pressure cylinder and to the nitrogen heating system, and is used to circulate the heated nitrogen flowing out of the high-pressure cylinder to the nitrogen heating system.
