Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steam turbine condensers, in particular to a supporting structure of a large side discharge condenser. Background Art

[0002] A condenser is a heat exchanger used to condense steam discharged from a steam turbine into water. Large side-exhaust steam turbines are typically equipped with a shell-and-tube condenser, installed on the side of the steam turbine in H-class gas-steam combined cycle units. Its primary function is to condense exhaust steam from the low-pressure cylinder into water and maintain a certain vacuum at the exhaust port.

[0003] Because the condenser is laterally aligned with the turbine, the turbine's low-pressure cylinder is typically supported by springs, while the condenser is rigidly welded to the low-pressure cylinder. During operation, the operating characteristics of the spring supports can induce a tipping moment, while seismic loads can cause a tilting moment and additional angular displacement. Furthermore, thermal expansion can exert significant longitudinal thrust on the condenser. This, combined with the lateral and longitudinal thermal displacements of the condenser itself caused by thermal expansion, can severely impact the safe operation of the unit. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example

[0028] like Figure 1-8As shown, in this embodiment, a supporting structure of a large side-exhaust condenser is mainly disclosed, including a condenser 1 and a foundation 2, on which a fixed support 3, a guide support 4, a sliding support 5 and a tensioning mechanism 6 are arranged. The fixed support 3 is fixed to the bottom plate of the condenser 1 near the steam inlet side, the guide support 4 includes a first support 41 for guiding the condenser 1 to slide along its length direction and a second support 42 for guiding the condenser 1 to slide along its width direction, a plurality of sliding supports 5 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the length direction of the condenser 1, and the tensioning mechanism 6 is connected to the four corners of the bottom plate of the condenser 1; it should be noted that the overall supporting mechanism forms two rows arranged along the width direction of the condenser 1, and the fixed support 3 serves as a thermal expansion deadlock for the entire condenser 1 Point, the design of the first support 41 and the second support 42 enables the condenser 1 to slide in the length and width directions, ensuring the smooth occurrence of thermal expansion during operation and reducing the stress concentration caused by structural limitations. The tensile structure is arranged at the four corners of the condenser 1 to constrain the condenser 1 in the vertical direction, effectively solving the problem of unsatisfactory absorption and compensation of the overturning moment transmitted from the turbine, the overturning moment caused by the seismic load and the corresponding additional angular displacement by the supporting mechanism; through the combination of the fixed support 3, the guide support 4, the sliding support 5 and the tensile mechanism 6, the flexibility and stability of the supporting structure are enhanced, adapting to various working conditions, improving the bearing capacity and anti-deformation ability of the structure, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0029] Furthermore, in specific implementation, Figure 5 As shown, the above-mentioned sliding support 5 provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes an upper support 51 and a lower support 52 with a spherical fit, the upper support 51 is connected to the bottom plate of the condenser 1, and the lower support 52 is fixed to the foundation 2; since the upper support 51 and the lower support 52 adopt a spherical fit, the installation requirements are low in precision, which is convenient for installation, and facilitates the free movement of the condenser 1 during thermal expansion or thermal contraction, thereby reducing the stress and deformation caused by temperature changes and extending the service life of the equipment. At the same time, the sliding support 5 has the function of moving and resetting; the multiple sliding supports 5 arranged under the condenser 1 evenly bear the vertical gravity load caused by the self-weight of the condenser 1; compensate for the longitudinal thermal displacement of the low-pressure cylinder of the turbine due to thermal expansion, compensate for the lateral and longitudinal thermal displacement caused by the thermal expansion of the condenser 1 body, and improve the stability of the structure.

[0030] Furthermore, in the specific implementation, the above-mentioned embodiment provided in the present invention includes a steam turbine, the steam turbine includes a low-pressure cylinder, and the fixed support 3 is arranged on the exhaust center line of the low-pressure cylinder; it should be noted that the low-pressure cylinder, as a part of the steam turbine, is usually the last stage of the steam power cycle process of the steam turbine, which is used to further expand the steam to achieve a lower exhaust pressure. In the low-pressure cylinder, the steam expands, and the temperature and pressure decrease. After entering the condenser 1, the steam further loses heat and turns into water. Accordingly, the pressure and temperature in the system also change; and arranging the fixed support 3 on the exhaust center line of the low-pressure cylinder can reduce unnecessary torque and bending moment, effectively reduce stress concentration, prevent fatigue damage, and further improve the stability of the structure.

[0031] Furthermore, in specific implementation, Figure 3 As shown, the first support 41 provided in the embodiment of the present invention is arranged on both sides of the fixed support 3 along the length direction of the condenser 1, and the second support 42 is arranged on one side of the fixed support 3 along the width direction of the condenser 1; the horizontal and vertical thermal expansion displacement of the condenser 1 is realized.

[0032] Furthermore, in specific implementation, Figure 7 As shown, the above-mentioned first support 41 and the second support 42 provided in the embodiment of the utility model both include a slide groove seat 401 and a slide rod seat 402. The slide groove seat 401 is fixed to the foundation 2, and the slide rod seat 402 is connected to the bottom plate of the condenser 1. The slide rod seat 402 is limited and slidably fitted in the slide groove seat 401, ensuring that the condenser 1 slides along a predetermined trajectory during thermal expansion, avoiding structural instability or damage caused by deviation, and ensuring its operational safety and reliability.

[0033] Furthermore, in specific implementation, Figure 8 As shown, the above-mentioned tensile mechanism 6 provided in the embodiment of the utility model includes a plurality of screws 61 pre-buried in the foundation 2. The screws 61 pre-buried in the foundation 2 provide additional stability, which can prevent the condenser 1 from tilting or displacing during operation, thereby increasing the overall rigidity and stability of the structure and improving the wind resistance and earthquake resistance.

[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
