Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of condenser technology, and in particular to a flow guiding device for an extraction condenser. Background Technology

[0002] Condensers are key equipment in thermal power plants, nuclear power plants, and large industrial steam power systems. Their core function is to condense the low-pressure steam discharged from the turbine into water while maintaining a vacuum state within the system, thereby improving the efficiency of the thermodynamic cycle and ensuring the safe operation of the equipment.

[0003] Existing condensers mostly adopt a centripetal extraction method, which does not perform secondary condensation on the insufficiently condensed steam. This results in a large amount of steam being directly extracted, making it difficult for non-condensable gases to be discharged in a timely and effective manner. As a result, non-condensable gases accumulate in the cooling zone and form a large number of dead zones, which seriously affects the condensation efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, a steam extraction condenser guide device is needed that can cool steam multiple times. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a flow guiding device for a vacuum condenser. This device allows heat exchange tubes to reciprocate through an airflow channel, thereby enabling secondary condensation of insufficiently condensed steam, reducing the direct removal of steam, and effectively and promptly discharging non-condensable gases, thus improving condensation efficiency. The device is simple, efficient, safe, reliable, and easy to operate.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a flow guiding device for a vacuum condenser is provided, comprising a shell, on which are provided a steam inlet, a vacuum outlet, a water inlet, a water outlet, and a condensate outlet. The water inlet and the water outlet are connected by heat exchange tubes. Several guide plates are provided inside the shell, forming a U-shaped airflow channel within the shell. The two ends of the airflow channel are respectively connected to the steam inlet and the vacuum outlet, and the condensate outlet is connected to the bottom of the airflow channel. Heat exchange tubes pass through the airflow channel in sequence. By the heat exchange tubes reciprocating through the airflow channel, the insufficiently condensed steam is condensed a second time, reducing the occurrence of steam being directly drawn away, thereby timely and effectively discharging non-condensable gases and improving condensation efficiency.

[0007] As an optimization, a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the airflow channel, and the condensate outlet is connected through the drain outlet. A one-way check valve with its opening facing the condensate outlet is provided on the drain outlet. The one-way check valve separates the condensate and non-condensable gas, preventing the condensate from affecting the discharge of the non-condensable gas.

[0008] As an optimization, the one-way check valve includes a sliding hole on the housing, the axis of which is parallel to the axis of the drain outlet; a valve adapted to the drain outlet is slidably inserted in the sliding hole, and the valve is connected to the housing by a return spring; the drainage volume of the drain outlet is adjusted according to the steam condensation efficiency by the contraction or expansion of the return spring.

[0009] As an optimization, a guide rod is slidably inserted inside the sliding hole, and the valve is located at the end of the guide rod facing the drain outlet; the guide rod guides the valve to prevent it from deflecting.

[0010] As an optimization, multiple airflow channels are connected in sequence, and the guide plate forms an S-shaped airflow channel inside the shell; the insufficiently condensed steam is condensed multiple times through the S-shaped airflow channel, thereby improving the condensation efficiency.

[0011] As an optimization, a water collection hopper is provided at the bottom of the shell, and the condensate outlet is located at the bottom of the water collection hopper; the water collection hopper collects the condensate, which facilitates the discharge of the condensate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: by having the heat exchange tube reciprocate through the airflow channel, the insufficiently condensed steam is condensed a second time, reducing the occurrence of steam being directly drawn away, and thus timely and effectively discharging non-condensable gases, thereby improving condensation efficiency; by having the insufficiently condensed steam condensed multiple times through the S-shaped airflow channel, the condensation efficiency is improved; and by having a one-way check valve separate condensate and non-condensable gases, the condensate is prevented from affecting the discharge of non-condensable gases.
