Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of power plants, and in particular relates to a steam turbine high-pressure heater drain system for a power plant. Background Art

[0002] During operation of the high-pressure heater, the steam side water level is high and fluctuates greatly. When the unit is running at full load, the main regulating drain adjustment valve of the main steam side of the high-pressure heater is close to the fully open state, the steam side water level of the high-pressure heater is high (close to the high water level alarm value), and the water level of the high-pressure heater steam side cannot be maintained stable. The high steam side water level of the high-pressure heater will directly affect the heat transfer of the high-pressure heater, and even water will flow back into the steam turbine, causing water hammer accidents. However, due to the structure of the high-pressure heater, it cannot be repaired on site. If the internal leakage increases, it is necessary to open the high-pressure heater steam side emergency drain electric valve for auxiliary draining. The emergency drain electric valve is an imported part and the spare part is expensive. In addition, because the working medium of the emergency drain electric valve is a steam-water mixture, the working conditions are harsh, and the valve internals are easily washed away, which leads to the valve internal leakage and cannot be closed tightly. In addition, it is difficult to isolate the system, which will seriously affect the safe operation of the unit and even cause the unit to stop. Utility Model Content
