Although the accompanying drawings illustrate embodiments of the present application, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present application more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0016] It should be understood that although the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. may be used in this application to describe various information, this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0017] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application.

[0019] In response to the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a device for automatically cleaning a condenser heat exchange tube bundle, which can reduce labor costs and avoid steam exhaust waste and power generation loss caused by equipment shutdown.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] See also Figure 1 The device for automatic cleaning of the condenser heat exchange tube bundle includes a dosing box 1, a cleaning water pump 2, a distributor 3, a cleaning pipeline 4, a first circulating water inlet valve 5, a second circulating water inlet valve 6, a first circulating water outlet valve 7, a second circulating water outlet valve 8, and a return water pipeline 10.

[0022] The medicine outlet of the dosing box 1 is connected to a three-way circulation distributor 3 through a cleaning pipe 4, and is equipped with a cleaning water pump 2. The other two circulation ports of the distributor 3 are connected to the water inlets on the left and right sides of the condenser 9 through the first circulating water inlet valve 5 and the second circulating water inlet valve 6 respectively. The water outlets on the left and right sides of the condenser 9 are respectively equipped with the first circulating water outlet valve 7 and the second circulating water outlet valve 8. The first circulating water outlet valve 7 and the second circulating water outlet valve 8 are respectively connected to the return water outlet of the dosing box 1 through the return water pipe 10; the water inlet pipes on the left and right sides of the condenser 9 are connected to the condenser drain pipe, and the condenser drain valve 13 is installed on the condenser drain pipe.

[0023] During operation, the configured agent is loaded into the dosing box 1, and the cleaning agent is sent to the condenser heat exchange tube bundle for flushing through the cleaning water pump 2 and the distributor 3, and then circulated through the return pipe 10 to achieve automatic flushing. The sewage after flushing can also be discharged through the condenser drain valve 13. When the turbine is shut down, the first circulating water inlet valve 5, the second circulating water inlet valve 6, the first circulating water outlet valve 7, and the second circulating water outlet valve 8 can be opened at the same time to flush the condenser heat exchange tube bundle. When the turbine is running, the circulating water inlet valve and the circulating water outlet valve on one side are closed, and the circulating water inlet valve and the circulating water outlet valve on the other side are closed to flush the condenser heat exchange tube bundle separately. The condenser single-side heat exchange tube bundle is cleaned by switching the distributor 3 cleaning channel. The single-side condenser works, and the turbine can be chemically cleaned without stopping, avoiding steam emptying waste and power generation loss caused by equipment shutdown.

[0024] In some embodiments, a sewage pipe 11 with a sewage valve is provided at the bottom of the dosing box 1, and an overflow pipe 12 with an overflow valve is provided at the upper side.

[0025] During operation, the overflow valve is opened. When there is too much cleaning agent, in order to avoid affecting the normal operation of the device, the excess agent is discharged from the overflow pipe 12. After cleaning is completed, the drain valve is opened and the sewage is discharged through the sewage pipe 11.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that, in this document, relationships such as first and second, etc., are used solely to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms include, comprise, or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
