Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of exhaust waste heat utilization of direct air cooling units, and specifically relates to an exhaust waste heat heating and water replenishment system for direct air cooling units. Background Art

[0002] The direct air-cooled unit will cause the condensate level in the exhaust device to drop due to system leakage, sewage discharge and other reasons. The loss of steam and water directly affects the safe and economical operation of the power plant, so it is necessary to replenish water to the steam turbine unit in time. Usually, the method of replenishing water into the exhaust device is adopted to maintain the normal condensate level. The replenishment water temperature is relatively low, about 25℃ in summer and about 5~10℃ in winter. Too low replenishment water temperature increases the supercooling of condensate water, and the economical operation of the entire thermal system is reduced; at the same time, the increase in supercooling increases the oxygen content in condensate water, accelerating the corrosion rate of related pipelines and equipment. Therefore, increasing the replenishment water temperature is conducive to the safe and economical operation of the generator set. Utility Model Content
