Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermal power unit technology, specifically to a desuperheating device for the main steam supply shaft seal of a thermal power unit. Background Technology

[0002] In conventional thermal power turbines, the normal steam source for shaft seals comes from the unit's auxiliary steam header. Other available steam sources include the reheat cold section and main steam. When using main steam to supply steam for shaft seals, the main steam pressure and temperature are very high, placing high demands on the steam seal regulating valve. Furthermore, achieving the required shaft seal steam temperature to match the metal temperature of the upper wall of the regulating stage cylinder during cold starts is difficult or impossible. Therefore, even if a subsystem for supplying shaft seal steam with reduced pressure from main steam is set up, it is rarely used in practice. Based on these reasons, large units above 300MW currently mainly supply shaft seal steam through external auxiliary steam. In newly built thermal power units, some have eliminated the main steam source, but existing units, due to historical reasons, can only rely on main steam for startup when there is no external starting steam source.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a desuperheating device for the main steam supply shaft seal of thermal power units to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a main steam supply shaft seal desuperheating device for thermal power units, which has the advantages of facilitating the adjustment of the main steam temperature and maintaining the shaft seal steam temperature consistent with the metal temperature of the upper wall of the inner cylinder of the regulating stage. It solves the problem that it is impossible to accurately control the steam temperature and that it is difficult to maintain the shaft seal steam temperature consistent with the metal temperature of the upper wall of the inner cylinder of the regulating stage.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a main steam supply shaft seal desuperheating device for thermal power units, comprising a steam desuperheating station, a main steam pressure regulating valve connected to one side of the steam desuperheating station via a pipeline, an overpressure safety valve connected to one side of the steam desuperheating station via a pipeline, a manual shut-off valve connected to one side of the overpressure safety valve via a pipeline, a check valve connected to one side of the manual shut-off valve via a pipeline, an auxiliary steam pressure regulating station connected to one side of the check valve via a pipeline, and a steam turbine connected to one side of the auxiliary steam pressure regulating station via a pipeline.

[0006] Preferably, one side of the main steam pressure regulating valve is connected to a main steam inlet pipe via a pipeline.

[0007] Preferably, the auxiliary steam pressure regulating station is connected to a steam seal pipe, and one side of the steam seal pipe is connected to the steam turbine.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the steam seal pipe is connected to a steam seal regulating valve.

[0009] Preferably, a steam flow sensor, a pressure sensor, and a temperature sensor are respectively installed on the surface of the steam turbine, and the steam flow sensor, pressure sensor, and temperature sensor are electrically connected to a controller.

[0010] Preferably, the controller is electrically connected to an alarm module, which includes a voice alarm and a flashing light.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. This utility model supplies the main steam to the shaft seal after de-cooling and depressurizing, and adjusts the temperature difference between the main steam supply to the shaft seal and the high-pressure shaft seal to be controlled within 50°C as specified in the regulations, thereby reducing the impact of temperature difference on bearing vibration and ensuring the reliability of the unit.

[0013] 2. This utility model enables a 300MW thermal power unit to start up by self-supplying steam to the shaft seal after main steam desuperheating without a starting steam source. The main steam supply to the shaft seal is reduced by the added steam desuperheating station to match the temperature of the high and medium pressure shaft seal. It adopts the advanced drainage design concept of the current turbine bypass and cooling system to ensure smooth drainage of the system and reduce the risk of water ingress into the turbine. The shaft seal steam temperature is adjusted by feedforward and feedback. The desuperheating water control has strong anti-interference ability, sensitive response, and adaptability to the unit start-up conditions. After the steam desuperheating station is put into automatic mode, it can intelligently adjust the main steam supply to the shaft seal temperature according to the shaft seal temperature.

[0017] Please see Figures 1-2A main steam supply shaft seal desuperheating device for a thermal power unit includes a steam desuperheating station 1. One side of the steam desuperheating station 1 is connected via a pipeline to a main steam pressure regulating valve 2. Another side of the steam desuperheating station 1 is connected via a pipeline to an overpressure safety valve 3. A third side of the overpressure safety valve 3 is connected via a pipeline to a manual shut-off valve 4. A fourth side of the manual shut-off valve 4 is connected via a pipeline to a check valve 5. A fifth side of the check valve 5 is connected via a pipeline to an auxiliary steam pressure regulating station 6. A sixth side of the auxiliary steam pressure regulating station 6 is connected via a pipeline to a steam turbine 7. By setting up the steam desuperheating station 1, the main steam pressure regulating valve 2, the overpressure safety valve 3, the manual shut-off valve 4, the check valve 5, and the auxiliary steam pressure regulating station 6, the steam temperature is effectively regulated. After the main steam is desuperheated and depressurized, it is supplied to the shaft seal. The deviation between the main steam supply temperature to the shaft seal and the high-pressure shaft seal supply temperature is adjusted and controlled within 50°C as specified in the regulations, reducing the impact of temperature difference on bearing vibration and ensuring the reliability of the unit.

[0018] Please see Figure 1 One side of the main steam pressure regulating valve 2 is connected to the main steam inlet pipe 8 through a pipeline. By setting the main steam inlet pipe 8, it is convenient to connect with the steam equipment and facilitate the delivery of steam.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 The auxiliary steam pressure regulating station 6 is connected to the steam seal pipe 9, and one side of the steam seal pipe 9 is connected to the steam turbine 7.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 The surface of the steam seal pipe 9 is connected to the steam seal regulating valve 10. By setting the steam seal pipe 9 and the steam seal regulating valve 10, the temperature-controlled steam is delivered to the steam turbine 7, and the amount of steam delivered can be adjusted.

[0021] Please see Figure 2 Steam flow sensor 11, pressure sensor 12 and temperature sensor 13 are respectively installed on the surface of steam turbine 7. Steam flow sensor 11, pressure sensor 12 and temperature sensor 13 are electrically connected to controller 14. By setting steam flow sensor 11, pressure sensor 12 and temperature sensor 13, the steam flow, pressure and temperature entering steam turbine 7 can be detected and the data can be monitored in real time.

[0022] Please see Figure 2 The controller 14 is electrically connected to an alarm module 15, which includes a voice alarm 16 and a flashing light 17. By setting the voice alarm 16 and the flashing light 17, the controller can alert the operator when data abnormalities are encountered, so that the operator can take appropriate measures in a timely manner.

[0023] The pressure is adjusted to 0.63-1.30 MPa.g by the main steam pressure regulating valve 2, and the temperature is adjusted to 250-350℃ by the steam desuperheating station 1. After desuperheating, the steam is led to the pipeline before the original auxiliary steam shaft seal pressure regulating station. Finally, after secondary pressure reduction by the auxiliary steam pressure regulating station 6, the shaft seal steam is supplied. After the modification, the temperature of the main steam supplied to the shaft seal is adjustable, which can meet the requirements of the shaft seal steam parameters during the start-up of the turbine 7 when there is no auxiliary steam.

[0024] Steam flow sensor 11, pressure sensor 12 and temperature sensor 13 detect the flow rate, pressure and temperature of steam inside steam turbine 7 and feed the data back to controller 14. Controller 14 compares the data with pre-stored data. If the data is abnormal, it controls voice alarm 16 to issue a voice alarm and flashing light 17 to promptly remind relevant personnel.
