[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a high-efficiency and energy-saving vacuum maintenance unit for a condenser in a thermal power plant includes a bracket 1, a Roots pump 2, a Roots pump heat exchanger 3, a liquid ring vacuum pump 4, a gas-water separator 5, and a liquid ring vacuum pump heat exchanger 6.

[0027] The Roots pump 2 is disposed on the top of the bracket 1. The air inlet 7 of the Roots pump 2 is located at the top of the Roots pump 2. A valve 8 is provided on the air inlet 7 of the Roots pump 2. In this embodiment, the valve 8 is a pneumatic valve. The exhaust port of the Roots pump 2 is located at the bottom of the Roots pump.

[0028] The air inlet of the Roots pump heat exchanger 3 is connected to the exhaust port of the Roots pump 2 through a pipeline. Figure 2 As shown, the air inlet of the Roots pump heat exchanger 3 is connected to the exhaust port of the Roots pump 2 through a corrugated hose 9, which improves the flexibility of installation and facilitates quick installation.

[0029] The exhaust port of the Roots pump heat exchanger 3 is connected to the air inlet of the liquid ring vacuum pump 4 through a pipe 10; the exhaust port of the liquid ring vacuum pump 4 is connected to the air inlet of the gas-water separator 5 through a pipe 11; the exhaust port of the gas-water separator 5 is arranged vertically upward.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the coolant inlet 12 on the liquid ring vacuum pump heat exchanger 6 is connected to the external coolant pipeline, and the coolant outlet on the liquid ring vacuum pump heat exchanger 6 is connected to the coolant inlet of the Roots pump heat exchanger 3 through the pipeline 13; the coolant outlet 17 of the Roots pump heat exchanger 3 is connected to the external coolant recovery pipeline.

[0031] The bottom of the gas-water separator 5 is connected to a liquid inlet pipe 14, one end of the liquid inlet pipe 14 is connected to the gas-water separator 5, and the other end is connected to the liquid ring vacuum pump heat exchanger 6; the liquid ring vacuum pump heat exchanger 6 is connected to a liquid outlet pipe 15; one end of the liquid outlet pipe 15 is connected to the liquid ring vacuum pump heat exchanger 6, and the other end is connected to the liquid ring vacuum pump 4; such an arrangement allows the liquid in the liquid ring vacuum pump 4 to be cooled after heat exchange, effectively ensuring its normal operation.

[0032] In this embodiment, a return pipe 16 is connected to the Roots pump 2, one end of the return pipe 16 is connected to the pipe connected to the exhaust port of the Roots pump heat exchanger 3 and the air inlet of the liquid ring vacuum pump 4, and the other end of the return pipe 16 is connected to the air inlet of the Roots pump 2; in this way, the gas-water mixture can be compressed and cooled for the second time, thereby improving the compression and cooling effect of the gas-water mixture.

[0033] After the high-efficiency Roots vacuum unit is installed at the power plant, the air inlet 7 of Roots pump 2 is connected to the condenser vacuum main pipe, the exhaust port is directly discharged on-site, and the cooling circulating water pipeline is connected to the site. After all components are connected, the unit is started up and commissioned on-site. Once all local commissioning is normal, remote commissioning is performed. Once remote commissioning is normal, everything is normal again. Once the power plant is operating normally and the original large water ring vacuum pump is operating stably and all indicators are normal, the high-efficiency Roots vacuum unit can be put into operation. Once operation is stable, the original large water ring vacuum pump can be shut down, and the high-efficiency and energy-saving Roots vacuum unit can continue to operate. This high-efficiency and energy-saving Roots vacuum unit is connected to the power plant's condenser vacuum main pipe. During unit startup, the original large water ring vacuum pump operates to achieve rapid vacuum. During normal operation, the unit switches to the high-efficiency and energy-saving Roots vacuum pump unit to maintain vacuum, and the original water ring vacuum pump is shut down. This energy-saving vacuum pump unit operates continuously, with the original water ring vacuum pump serving as a backup.
