[0023] Specifically, the front steam seal section includes front steam seal section 1 2, front steam seal section 2 3, front steam seal section 3 4, front steam seal section 4 5, and front steam seal section 5 6, which are arranged from the inside to the outside, and the rear steam seal section includes rear steam seal section 1 7, rear steam seal section 2 8, rear steam seal section 3 9, and rear steam seal section 4 10, which are arranged from the inside to the outside. The steam outlet end of the front steam seal section 1 2 is connected to the exhaust pipeline through the first pipeline, so as to discharge the higher pressure steam on the left side of the back pressure machine 1 close to the steam inlet pipeline through the exhaust pipeline.
[0024] The steam outlet end of the second section of the front steam seal 3 is connected to the steam outlet end of the first section of the rear steam seal 7 through a second pipeline, and a second branch pipe is provided on the second pipeline, and the second branch pipe is connected to the steam inlet at the top of the surface cooler 11. The top of the surface cooler 11 is provided with a first row of atmospheric pipes, and a first cooling water pipeline is arranged inside the surface cooler 11. The water outlet end of the first cooling water pipeline is connected to the deaerator through an external water outlet pipeline, and a first drain pipe is provided at the bottom of the surface cooler 11, and the first drain pipe is connected to the water collecting tank. For the second section of the front steam seal 3 and the first section of the rear steam seal 7, since the non-condensable gas in the surface cooler 11 is connected to the atmosphere through the first row of atmospheric pipes, the exhaust side pressure of the surface cooler 11 is close to the atmospheric pressure, which will increase the pressure difference between the second section of the front steam seal 3 and the first section of the rear steam seal 7, and increase the steam leakage. When designing, it is necessary to increase the number of steam seals of the second section of the front steam seal 3 and the first section of the rear steam seal 7, so as to reduce the steam leakage of the second section of the front steam seal 3 and the first section of the rear steam seal 7.

[0032] In specific implementation, the utility model provides a saturated back-pressure steam turbine shaft seal steam sealing system, in which the shaft seal cooler 12 and the surface cooler 11 both use softened water. The softened water is first heated by the shaft seal cooler 12 and then heated by the surface cooler 11, and then enters the deaerator. At the same time, the drain water in the shaft seal cooler 12 and the drain water in the surface cooler 11 are collected in the water collecting tank, thereby achieving comprehensive energy utilization and improving system efficiency.
