Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam turbine vacuum degree technical transformation technology, and in particular to a technical transformation device for improving steam turbine vacuum degree. Background Technology
[0002] In the power generation process of a power plant, the steam turbine is the core equipment that converts the thermal energy of steam into mechanical energy. Vacuuming the steam turbine is an indispensable key step for its start-up and normal operation. By performing vacuuming, a specific low-pressure environment can be created, which has many positive impacts on the efficient, safe, and stable operation of the steam turbine. It is an important guarantee for the reliable power generation and optimized operation of the power plant. The problem of insufficient condenser vacuum during steam turbine operation is a common technical challenge faced by the power industry. This problem not only affects the operating efficiency of the steam turbine, but may also lead to frequent equipment failures.
[0003] During the operation of a steam turbine, steam loses kinetic energy through the impact and friction of the turbine blades, resulting in high-temperature and high-pressure exhaust steam. The exhaust steam enters the condenser through the exhaust system. Due to the reaction force of the condenser, the exhaust system is often under negative pressure. When the exhaust temperature rises, the flue gas density decreases and the volume increases, causing the pressure inside the exhaust system to decrease as well. This decrease in internal pressure leads to a negative pressure state in the exhaust system, resulting in a decrease in vacuum. The size of the turbine vacuum is related to factors such as the temperature of the cooling water in the condenser and the pressure in the exhaust pipe. When the exhaust temperature rises, the pressure in the exhaust system decreases, and the vacuum also decreases, directly affecting the efficiency of the steam turbine.
[0004] The vacuum level of existing steam turbines is related to factors such as the temperature of the cooling water in the condenser and the pressure in the exhaust pipe. When the exhaust temperature rises, the pressure of the exhaust device drops, and the vacuum level also decreases, directly affecting the efficiency of the steam turbine. This solution utilizes existing demineralized water resources and adds a spray tube bundle inside the exhaust device. Based on the original air cooling, it adopts an air-cooling plus water cooling method to reduce the exhaust temperature and prevent excessively high temperatures from damaging downstream equipment components.
