Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a high-efficiency vacuum system for a generator set, belonging to the technical field of vacuum equipment. Background Art
[0002] In the vacuum system of a thermal power generator set, turbine exhaust steam is cooled by the condenser, and non-condensable gases are extracted by a water ring vacuum pump before being discharged through a steam-water separator. The water ring vacuum pump plays a crucial role, discharging non-condensable gases from the negative pressure equipment to the atmosphere. After prolonged operation, the performance of the cold-end equipment of a generator set generally declines due to factors such as reduced condensing capacity and system leaks. This in turn leads to a decrease in power generation efficiency and increased energy consumption. Generally, a decrease in vacuum level of 1 kPa results in a 1-2% decrease in power generation efficiency. Due to the limited vacuum capacity of existing water ring vacuum pumps for generator sets, they are unable to compensate for the decrease in vacuum level caused by prolonged operation, resulting in a continuous decline in the unit's power generation efficiency. Therefore, a vacuum system for generator sets with strong vacuum suction capabilities is urgently needed to improve the unit's vacuum level and power generation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0016] Refer to Figure 1 The utility model relates to a kind of high-efficiency vacuum system for generator unit, including the condenser 1, Roots vacuum pump 2 and water ring vacuum pump 3 connected in series successively;The air inlet of the condenser 1 is connected with the exhaust port of generator unit condenser, exhaust port is connected with the air inlet of Roots vacuum pump 2;The air inlet of the Roots vacuum pump 2 is connected in parallel with the air inlet of generator unit original vacuum pump, and the air outlet is connected with the air inlet of water ring vacuum pump 3;Pressure gauge and temperature table are all installed on the air inlet and outlet pipeline of the condenser 1, Roots vacuum pump 2 and water ring vacuum pump 3;Electric control valve 7 is equipped on the air inlet pipeline of the Roots vacuum pump 2;The exhaust port of the water ring vacuum pump 3 is connected with steam-water separator 8;
[0017] First heat exchanger 4 is equipped in the condenser 1, second heat exchanger 5 is equipped in Roots vacuum pump 2, third heat exchanger 6 is equipped in water ring vacuum pump 3, and the first heat exchanger 4, second heat exchanger 5 and third heat exchanger 6 are connected in parallel cooling circulating water, respectively to condenser 1, Roots vacuum pump 2, water ring vacuum pump 3 cooling, reduce gas temperature, improve equipment operating efficiency;
[0018] The generator set's original shell-and-tube condenser draws saturated moist air through the unit's original vacuum pump, creating a negative vacuum pressure. Condenser 1 is connected in series between the unit's original condenser and the original vacuum pump, and Roots vacuum pump 2 and water ring vacuum pump 3 are connected in parallel with the original vacuum pump. Condenser 1 cools the saturated moist air drawn from the original condenser, condenses and recovers condensable gases, and reduces the suction load of the downstream vacuum pump. Because the gas phase change process is equivalent to a pressure change process, the condensation of condensable gases reduces the gas volume, naturally forming a vacuum inside the container. The addition of condenser 1 can condense and recover approximately 60-70% of the moist air, reducing the vacuum pump load by 60-70% while significantly increasing the ultimate vacuum level and, consequently, improving the generator set's power generation efficiency. By using Roots vacuum pump 2 and water ring vacuum pump 3 in parallel with the original vacuum pump, the suction capacity of the vacuum system can be greatly improved, effectively compensating for the problem of vacuum degree drop caused by long-term operation of the generator set, and forming a high pressure difference between the vacuum pump inlet pressure and the turbine exhaust pressure, thereby improving the turbine power generation efficiency and ensuring system safety.
[0019] In addition: It should be noted that the above specific implementation is only an optimization scheme of this patent. Any changes or improvements made by technicians in this field based on the above concept are within the scope of protection of this patent.
