Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of heating systems for thermal power units, specifically to a compact condenser suitable for high back pressure cascade heating systems of air-cooled units. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, thermal power units in northern China generally adopt high back-pressure cascade heating retrofit technology, which requires the installation of multiple condensers to heat the circulating water of the heating network in stages for steam at different pressure levels. For example, in the existing technology using a three-stage heating system of high back pressure + turbocharger + heating network heater, two separate condensers need to be added outside the plant. This solution has the following problems:
[0003] 1) The condenser water-side piping system is complex, and the split layout results in long pipes and many valves;
[0004] 2) Steam inlet pipes and supports are scattered, occupying a large area;
[0005] 3) The equipment is scattered, resulting in high overall cost and an unsightly appearance. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the problems of complexity, large footprint, and high cost of existing split-type condenser systems, this invention proposes a compact condenser for a high back pressure cascade heating system for air-cooled units. By merging water chambers and optimizing the water-side flow and layout, the piping system is simplified and the cost is reduced.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:
[0008] A compact condenser for a high back-pressure cascade heating system of an air-cooled unit, comprising:
[0009] The condenser body consists of a front half and a rear half. The front half is connected to the turbine exhaust steam inlet pipe, and the rear half is connected to the second-stage heating steam inlet pipe.
[0010] The water chamber structure includes a first water chamber, a middle water chamber, a second water chamber, a second water chamber, a third water chamber, and a second water chamber, which are connected in sequence, forming a three-flow turning of the heating network circulating water.
[0011] The front half and the rear half of the heat exchange tube bundle are arranged in the front half and the rear half respectively, and are used for the heat network circulating water for cascade heating.
[0012] Furthermore, the front half and the rear half are respectively equipped with a front half hot well and a rear half hot well, which are used to collect the condensate from the exhaust steam in the front half and the condensate from the second-stage heating steam in the rear half, and discharge them through the drain outlet pipeline.
[0013] Furthermore, the first water chamber, the middle water chamber, and the second water chamber cover the front half.
[0014] Furthermore, the rear first water chamber, the middle third water chamber, and the rear second water chamber cover the rear half.
[0015] Furthermore, the second water chamber is located between the front and rear halves.
[0016] Furthermore, the first half of the hot wells and the second half of the hot wells are connected by pipelines to achieve graded collection of condensate.
[0017] Furthermore, the throat sections of the front and rear halves are each equipped with independent vacuum ports.
[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the compact condenser of the high back pressure cascade heating system for air-cooled units proposed in this application has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0019] Compact structure: By merging the condenser and optimizing the three-pass water-side design, the overall length of the equipment is reduced, achieving a space-efficient layout; Simplified system: The number of water chambers is reduced, the heating network circulating water pipelines and valve configurations are shortened, and the system complexity is reduced; Reduced cost: The number of steam pipes and supports is reduced, saving equipment floor space and ancillary infrastructure construction costs; Convenient maintenance: The centralized layout facilitates equipment maintenance and reduces the maintenance workload of decentralized components; Improved efficiency: The optimized flow reversal design enhances the cascade heating effect of the heating network circulating water and improves the overall heating stability.
