TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to steam turbine auxiliary equipment technical field, concretely is a multistage liquid seal device of automatic liquid supplement and on -line blowdown. BACKGROUND
[0002] Steam turbine condenser vacuum: steam is exhausted after doing work in steam turbine, and enters the condenser in vacuum state, and is condensed into water, and the latent heat released in this process is taken away by cooling water. The rapid condensation of the exhaust steam is crucial for the continuous operation of the steam turbine, as it ensures that the steam turbine can continuously receive new steam for work. The higher the vacuum degree in the condenser, the lower the pressure when the exhaust steam condenses, and the lower the corresponding saturation temperature. This means that the condensation process can be carried out at a lower temperature, thereby reducing the irreversible heat loss in the condensation process. Therefore, improving the vacuum degree of the condenser helps to improve the thermal efficiency of the steam turbine.
[0003] The steam turbine auxiliary equipment shaft seal heater drain is connected to the condenser through a multistage water seal device. The principle of the multistage water seal is that the drain is overflowed step by step, and the steam in the heater is sealed by the water column in the multistage water seal and cannot be discharged. The height of the water column of the water seal depends on the difference between the pressure in the heater and the external pressure. The multistage water seal is the drain part of the steam turbine shaft seal heater. The shaft seal heater is in a micro-negative pressure state when it is running, with a pressure of about -6 kPa. The vacuum pressure difference with the condenser is about 10 m of water column (about 100 KPa). According to the working principle of the multistage water seal, the multistage water seal must generate a resistance higher than 10 m of water column when working to ensure that the drain is smooth and air cannot leak in. In fact, the multistage water seal increases the resistance of the drain, so that the shaft seal heater drain passes through the multistage water seal and then returns to the condenser steam side with a certain height, and the flow resistance plus the pressure difference is just equal to the vacuum of the condenser. In theory, after the multistage water seal is filled with water, the water level will not fluctuate greatly, but in practice, due to abnormal conditions such as drastic changes in working conditions, it is easy to cause the drain to be not smooth (the flow resistance is large) or the flow resistance to be small due to leakage of vacuum. And considering the leakage of vacuum, the multistage water seal blowdown cannot be operated online, and can only be blowdown after shutdown. SUMMARY
