[0002] A power station is a place for generating electricity. The current mainstream methods of power stations are coal-fired power generation and nuclear power generation. However, both coal-fired power generation and nuclear power generation involve boiling water, and then guiding the generated high-temperature and high-pressure steam to drive the power generation equipment to rotate, thereby generating electricity. In order to save water resources, the power station will recycle the steam after processing and condense it into water again. At present, when recycling water vapor, most of the water vapor is guided into a device equipped with a coolant circulation mechanism, and then the water vapor is cooled and condensed with the help of the coolant circulation. However, in this way, when the coolant absorbs too much heat, the steam condensation efficiency will be reduced, and using a separate device to cool the steam will not only increase the cost, but also increase the heat dissipation cost. Therefore, the present invention provides a condensate recovery device for a power station air cooling system to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

As the steam in the pressurized pipe 6 increases, the pressure in the pressurized pipe 6 will increase. When the pressure reaches the threshold, the solenoid valve 506 will open. At this time, the pressurized steam will enter the air intake pipe 504 through the connecting pipe 505, and then enter the vortex tube 501 through the air intake pipe 504. At this time, the steam passing through the vortex tube 501 will be divided into cold and hot parts. The hot part will enter the circulation pipe 519 through the heat source pipe 502, and then enter the heating pipe 520 through the circulation pipe 519 to heat the pressurized pipe 6, so that the pressure inside the pressurized pipe 6 can be increased in a short time, and the steam entering the pressurized pipe 6 later can be pressurized in a short time. The cold part will enter the cooling inner tube 510 through the cold source pipe 513. The cooled steam entering the cooling inner tube 510 will enter the cooling outer tube 512 through the transition cavity 515. The steam that has not entered the cooling outer tube 512 will be ejected through the docking port 516, thereby removing the water droplets attached to the cooling inner tube 510 and the cooling outer tube 512, thereby accelerating the collection of condensed water. When both the cooling inner tube 510 and the cooling outer tube 512 are cooled, the water vapor that enters the inner sleeve 508 through the guide tube 503 will be condensed into water droplets more quickly, thereby accelerating the collection of condensed water.
