[0002] A steam turbine generator is a generator driven by a steam turbine.

[0022] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0023] Example
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the condensate operation system of the steam turbine generator set in this embodiment includes a main engine condenser 1, and the condensate outlet of the main engine condenser 1 is connected in series with a condensate pump 2, a condensate polishing device 3, a shaft seal cooler 4, a heat network drain cooler 5, a low-pressure drain cooler 6, a first heat exchanger 7, a second heat exchanger 8, a third heat exchanger 9, a fourth heat exchanger 10, a fifth heat exchanger 11 and a boiler arranged in the main engine condenser 1 through a pipeline. The outlet of the condensate polishing device 3 is connected to a cold water pipeline 20 leading to an adjacent steam turbine generator set, and the outlet of the fifth heat exchanger 11 is connected to a hot water pipeline 30 leading to an adjacent steam turbine generator set. A first control valve group is provided upstream of the cold water pipeline 20, and a first control valve is provided on the hot water pipeline 30.
[0025] The operation method of the condensate operation system of the steam turbine generator set in this embodiment is as follows:
[0026] Connect the cold water pipeline 20 and hot water pipeline 30 downstream of the unit's refined condensate and downstream of the fifth heat exchanger 11. During the initial startup phase of the unit, the refined condensate is delivered to the cold water pipeline 20 and sent to the condensate users of adjacent units, without starting the adjacent units' condensate pumps. After the unit is shut down, the refined condensate is delivered to the condensate users of adjacent units, allowing the unit to be shut down immediately after the temporary condensate pumps are shut down. During unit startup flushing, the fifth heat exchanger 11 of the operating unit delivers refined condensate to the adjacent units, allowing the adjacent units to be flushed without starting their condensate pumps. This allows for flow control of the condensate flushing of the adjacent units, reducing safety risks for the operating units.
[0027] In this embodiment, second control valves are installed on the upstream and downstream pipelines of the heat network drain cooler 5. A first bypass line 51 is connected between the upstream and downstream pipelines of the heat network drain cooler 5. This first bypass line 51 is equipped with a third control valve. The second and third control valves allow for flexible adjustment of the flow rate and open / close status of the corresponding pipelines. Furthermore, the first bypass line 51 ensures the proper flow of condensate during maintenance of the heat network drain cooler 5.
[0028] In this embodiment, a second bypass line 41 is connected between the downstream pipeline of the heat network drain cooler 5 and the downstream pipeline of the second heat exchanger 8. A fourth control valve is installed on this second bypass line 41. A fifth control valve is installed near the inlet of the upstream pipeline of the LP heater drain cooler 6, and a sixth control valve is installed near the outlet of the downstream pipeline of the second heat exchanger 8. By opening the second bypass line 41 and closing the section of pipeline connecting the LP heater drain cooler 6 and the second heat exchanger 8, maintenance and repair of the LP heater drain cooler 6, the first heat exchanger 7, and the second heat exchanger 8 can be performed.
[0029] In this embodiment, the downstream pipeline of the shaft seal cooler 4 is further connected to the main engine condenser 1 via a circulation pipeline 71. A second control valve group is provided on the circulation pipeline 71. The circulation pipeline 71 can return condensed water to the main engine condenser 1 to form a circulation.
[0030] In this embodiment, two sets of condensate pumps 2 are provided. The condensate outlet of the main engine condenser 1 is connected to the condensate polishing equipment 3 via two pipelines, each of which is equipped with a set of condensate pumps 2. This ensures a "one standby, one active" system, making it safer and more convenient to use.
[0031] This embodiment further includes a circulating water return pipe 60. The cold water line 20 is connected to the circulating water return pipe 60 via a first branch pipe. A seventh control valve is provided on the first branch pipe. Opening the seventh control valve allows drainage (draining) from the corresponding pipe section to the circulating water return pipe 60.
[0032] In this embodiment, the condensate polishing equipment 3 includes a wastewater pump, which is connected to the circulating water return pipe 60 via a pipeline. The wastewater can be discharged into the circulating water return pipe 60 via the pipeline.
[0033] In this embodiment, the downstream pipeline of the fifth heat exchanger 11 is connected to the circulating water return pipeline 60 via a second branch pipeline, and the second branch pipeline is provided with an eighth control valve. Through this pipeline, condensate from the fifth heat exchanger 11 can be discharged into the circulating water return pipeline 60.
[0034] In this embodiment, a pressure gauge is provided on the upstream pipeline of the condensate pump 2 to monitor the pressure in the pipeline in real time.
[0035] In this embodiment, the first heat exchanger 7 , the second heat exchanger 8 , the third heat exchanger 9 , the fourth heat exchanger 10 and the fifth heat exchanger 11 all adopt low-pressure heaters of suitable models on the market.
