Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heating equipment technology, specifically to a steam turbine low-vacuum heating device. Background Technology

[0002] A steam turbine is an external combustion rotary machine that converts the thermal energy of steam into mechanical work. Steam from the boiler enters the turbine and passes through a series of annularly arranged nozzles and blades, converting the steam's thermal energy into the mechanical energy of the turbine rotor's rotation. In existing technology, the steam, carrying a large amount of waste heat, exits the turbine and goes to the condenser. The condenser converts the steam into hot water, which is then piped to heating terminals, thus achieving waste heat recovery and utilization.

[0003] For example, CN 113819511 A discloses a circulating water low-vacuum heating system, which includes a steam turbine condenser. The output end of the steam turbine condenser is connected to a cooling tower via a cooling delivery pipe. The input end of the cooling tower is connected to the output end of the steam turbine condenser via a cooling delivery pipe. The output end of the cooling tower and the input end of the steam turbine condenser are connected via a cooling return pipe. This heating system adjusts and lowers the vacuum degree of the steam turbine condenser, thereby increasing the exhaust steam temperature of the steam turbine condenser to heat the cooling circulating water. The heated cooling circulating water can be transported to a heat exchanger via a circulating delivery pipe. After passing through the heat exchanger, the circulating water is further heated by steam and then delivered to the heating pipeline for residential heating, avoiding the waste of steam heat. However, the following problems still exist: 1. When the steam turbine condenser converts steam into hot water and discharges it to the heat exchanger through pipelines, steam is easily mixed into the water, which is not conducive to maintaining the low vacuum degree inside the system; 2. During the heating season, the isolation from the cooling tower side still needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0024] Working principle:

[0025] 1. During the non-heating season, the steam that has done work in the steam turbine carries a large amount of waste heat out of the steam turbine 1 and goes to the condenser 2. After being condensed in the condenser 2, it forms hot water, which then enters the cooling tower 8 through the water passage group of the buffer isolation tank 5 and the water inlet valve 7. After being cooled and cooled by the cooling tower 8, it is sent back to the condenser 2 to protect the condenser 2 and prevent it from being damaged at high temperatures.

[0026] 2. During the heating season, the inlet valve 7 and the fifth shut-off valve 11 are closed, while the first shut-off valve 12, the flow regulating valve 13, the second shut-off valve 21, the third shut-off valve 19, and the fourth shut-off valve 16 are open. The steam, after performing work in the turbine 1, carries a large amount of waste heat out of the turbine and flows to the condenser 2. After condensation in the condenser 2, it forms hot water, which then enters the buffer tank 5. During the flow, the steam carried by the hot water is discharged through the vacuum branch 6 to the vacuum pipeline 3 of the condenser 2. The hot water passes through the first shut-off valve 12 and the flow regulating valve 13 into the branch pipeline 22, and then is sent from the branch pipeline 22 to each heat exchanger 20. The water after heat exchange returns to the condenser 2 through the manifold 17. The circulating heat exchange components absorb the waste heat from the hot water for use in the heating terminal 25, achieving waste heat recovery and utilization.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and should not be considered as limiting the scope of implementation of this utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of this utility model should still fall within the scope of this utility model.
