Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a system for improving the efficiency of circulating water in a power plant, belonging to the technical field of circulating water in a power plant. Background Art

[0002] Generally, each generating unit in a power plant is equipped with two circulating water pumps, and each circulating water pump is matched with a circulating water tank; due to the fact that the generating units are often in a variable load state and affected by seasons, the working conditions of the two circulating water pumps are as follows: in winter, the temperature is low and the water consumption of the equipment is small. If two circulating water pumps are started for each generating unit, the water output of the circulating water pumps is greater than the water consumption of the equipment, resulting in an excess of water; if only one circulating water pump is started, the water volume in the matching circulating water tank cannot meet the water consumption requirements of the generating unit. In view of the above working conditions, it is necessary to technically transform the existing equipment to reduce the number of operating circulating water pumps in winter on the premise of ensuring the water consumption of the generating unit. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a system for improving the efficiency of circulating water in a power plant, which makes full use of the circulating water volume of each circulating water pump, reduces the number of operating circulating water pumps of the unit and thus reduces the self - consumption electricity of the power plant, and solves the above - mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0005] A system for improving the efficiency of circulating water in a power plant includes a first circulating water tank, a second circulating water tank, a first circulating water pump, a first electric valve at the circulating water outlet, a first manual valve at the circulating water outlet, a second circulating water pump, a second electric valve at the circulating water outlet, a second manual valve at the circulating water outlet, an outlet connection electric valve, an outlet connection pipeline, a return water connection pipe, a first circulating water main pipe and a second circulating water main pipe. On the first circulating water main pipe of the first circulating water tank, a first circulating water pump, a first electric valve at the circulating water outlet and a first manual valve at the circulating water outlet are sequentially arranged; on the second circulating water main pipe of the second circulating water tank, a second circulating water pump, a second electric valve at the circulating water outlet and a second manual valve at the circulating water outlet are sequentially arranged. The first circulating water main pipe between the first electric valve at the circulating water outlet and the first manual valve at the circulating water outlet is connected to the second circulating water main pipe between the second electric valve at the circulating water outlet and the second manual valve at the circulating water outlet through an outlet connection pipeline, and an outlet connection electric valve is arranged on the outlet connection pipeline; a return water connection pipe is additionally arranged between the first circulating water tank and the second circulating water tank and is connected through the return water connection pipe.

[0006] A first flowmeter is arranged on the first circulating water main pipe at the outlet of the first electric valve at the circulating water outlet, and a second flowmeter is arranged on the second circulating water main pipe at the outlet of the second electric valve at the circulating water outlet.

[0007] The utility model makes full use of the circulating water volume of each circulating water pump, reduces the number of operating circulating water pumps and thus reduces the self - consumption electricity of the power plant.

[0008] With the adoption of the present utility model, the second circulating water pump stops working. The circulating water in the first circulating water pool of the generating set is sent through the first circulating water pump, the first electric valve at the circulating water outlet, the connecting electric valve at the outlet, the connecting pipeline at the outlet and the second manual valve at the circulating water outlet to connect the first circulating water main pipe and the second circulating water main pipe, and then is respectively sent to their respective power generation circulating water systems through the first circulating water main pipe and the second circulating water main pipe, and then returns to the first circulating water pool and the second circulating water pool respectively. Under the connection of the return water connecting pipe, the first circulating water pool and the second circulating water pool respectively maintain the water level balance of the circulating water, ensuring the water requirement for the generating set. While ensuring the circulating water volume, the operation of one circulating water pump can be saved, greatly reducing the self - consumption of electricity.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the technology of the present utility model are as follows: making full use of the circulating water volume of each circulating water pump, reducing the number of operating circulating water pumps of the unit and thus reducing the self - consumption of electricity in the power plant, ensuring the normal water requirement of each generating set while reducing one circulating water pump, and having no pollution in the energy utilization process, which is both environmentally friendly and economical.
