As its power source, steam turbines are more economical than motors. After the operation of steam turbines in most chemical projects, the recovery of condensate becomes particularly important. The recovered condensate will reduce the use of demineralized water and save a large amount of funds. However, in the existing condensate recovery technology, only the condensate itself is recovered, and the heat that comes back with the condensate is not recovered. In order to remove this part of heat, not only the load of the circulating water system needs to be increased, which increases the power consumption, but also the consumption of steam increases during the subsequent reuse of the condensate, so the coal consumption increases accordingly.
