Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of condenser technology in thermal power plants, specifically to a condenser vacuum breaker valve water seal device. Background Technology

[0002] In thermal power plants, vacuum breaker valves are installed near the throat of the condenser. When the unit needs to be shut down urgently due to a sudden event, the vacuum breaker valve can be opened quickly to connect the condenser with the atmosphere, break the vacuum in the condenser, reduce the coasting time of the turbine rotor, and thus achieve rapid shutdown to protect the unit and personnel safety.

[0003] In thermal power plants, vacuum breaker valves are installed near the throat of the condenser. When the unit needs to shut down urgently due to a sudden event, the vacuum breaker valve can open quickly, connecting the condenser to the atmosphere, breaking the vacuum inside the condenser, reducing the turbine rotor coasting time, and thus achieving rapid shutdown to protect the unit and personnel safety. However, to prevent water from the water seal pipe from being drawn into the condenser due to a slight leak in the vacuum breaker valve, which would affect the vacuum, the existing water supply line from the demineralized water to the water seal pipe is often kept in a water supply state. Excess water overflows from the water seal pipe and flows by gravity into the sludge pit, then is pumped out of the turbine hall by the sludge pump. This results in a large overflow of demineralized water, wasting the high-cost demineralized water produced by the power plant and increasing the plant's production costs. The sludge pump's power consumption also increases. The overflowing demineralized water flows by gravity into the sludge pit and needs to be pumped out by the sludge pump, further increasing the sludge pump's power consumption. The demineralized water pump's power consumption also increases because the water supply to the vacuum breaker valve's water seal pipe cannot be stopped, causing the demineralized water pump's water volume to increase and its operating time to be extended, thus increasing the demineralized water pump's power consumption.

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water seal device for a condenser vacuum breaker valve to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a condenser vacuum breaker valve water seal device, including a base, and further comprising:

[0006] A condenser body is installed on top of the base. A fixed pipe is provided on one side of the condenser body. A branch pipe is connected to the inner wall of the fixed pipe. A water discharge electric valve is provided at one end of the fixed pipe. A horizontal pipe is connected to the inner wall of the branch pipe. A water tank is connected at one end of the horizontal pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the condenser body is connected to a connecting pipe, and one end of the connecting pipe is connected to a first flange.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the condenser body is connected to an installation pipe, and one end of the installation pipe is connected to the inner wall of the fixed pipe.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the mounting pipe is connected to a second flange, and a sealing gasket is installed on the inner wall of the fixing pipe.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention, by setting up a condenser body, fixed pipe, branch pipe, electric drain valve, horizontal pipe, water tank, and vacuum breaker valve body, can easily achieve automatic replenishment of sealing water without the need for continuous water replenishment to the water seal pipe. Based on the principle of interconnected pipes, the branch pipe drain port and the automatic water replenishment tank are connected to the atmosphere, and the water level is always at the same level. If sealing water is lost, water can be automatically replenished. At the same time, the system is simple, safe, reliable, energy-saving, and reduces consumption.

Water injection process: At this time, all valves at both ends of the vacuum breaker valve body 16 are open. First, close the lower valve, then inject sealing water into the water tank 7. When the water level reaches the valve at the top of the fixed pipe 3, close the valve. At this time, continue to inject water until it reaches the vicinity of the branch pipe 4 drain outlet to complete the water injection process; Emergency water discharge process: At the same time, open the valves at both ends of the vacuum breaker valve body 16, and the sealing water flows out quickly through the upper valve to quickly break the unit vacuum.
