Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steam turbine technology, and in particular to the vacuum system of steam turbine units in power plants. Background Technology
[0002] In power plants, the vacuum level of steam turbine units has a significant impact on the efficiency and power output of the turbine plant. The condenser, as a crucial component of the steam turbine unit, acts as a cold source, its primary task being to condense the exhaust steam from the turbine into water. The vacuum system, on the other hand, is responsible for establishing a vacuum and removing air and uncondensed steam that leaks in from any leaks during operation, thus maintaining the vacuum level of the condenser.
[0003] However, existing vacuum systems for power plant turbine units have some shortcomings. For example, the operating characteristics of the vacuum system are mutually influential and restrictive with the condenser's operating pressure and temperature. When the condenser vacuum is low and the operating temperature is high, water vapor entering the vacuum system will cause the working fluid to heat up, leading to a decrease in the vacuum system's output. Therefore, this invention proposes a vacuum system for power plant turbine units to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vacuum system for power plant turbine units. By connecting a cooling purifier between the exhaust port of the condenser and the inlet of the water ring vacuum pump, the heat exchange components reduce the air temperature and the content of uncondensed steam, while the purification and adsorption components adsorb impurities in the air, thus preventing high-temperature air containing corrosive substances and excessive uncondensed steam from entering the water ring vacuum pump and restricting its output.

The inlet end of the vacuum pump 302 is connected to the interior of the purification adsorption chamber 304.
[0020] In the operation of the vacuum system of the power plant turbine unit of this utility model, the air and uncondensed steam in the condenser 1 are drawn into the cooling purifier 3 by the suction pump 302. First, the air and uncondensed steam enter the heat exchange components for heat exchange. The cooled air enters the purification adsorption chamber 304 and is purified by the purification adsorption components, filtering out harmful substances in the air. Then, the purified air enters the suction chamber 305 and is finally drawn by the water ring vacuum pump 2. The cooling and purification of the air entering the water ring vacuum pump 2 can improve the operating efficiency of the water ring vacuum pump 2, avoid corrosion of the water ring vacuum pump 2, and help to extend the service life of the water ring vacuum pump 2.
[0021] Example 2
[0022] according to Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment proposes a vacuum system for a power plant turbine unit. The heat exchange assembly includes a coil 306, a circulating liquid inlet 307, and a circulating liquid outlet 308. The coil 306 is installed inside the heat exchange chamber 303. The circulating liquid inlet 307 is located at the top of the tank 301 at the location of the heat exchange chamber 303, and the circulating liquid outlet 308 is located at the bottom of the tank 301 at the location of the heat exchange chamber 303. Air and uncondensed steam in the condenser 1 enter the coil 306 and are cooled by heat exchange with the coolant installed inside the heat exchange chamber 303. In this invention, a drainage system is also connected to the coil 306 to drain the water generated by condensation in the coil 306.
[0023] Both the circulation outlet 308 and the external refrigeration circulation system are connected to the external refrigeration circulation system. The external refrigeration circulation system cools and circulates the coolant inside the heat exchange chamber 303, thus maintaining the heat exchange efficiency of the coolant inside the heat exchange chamber 303.

The mounting ring 309 is connected to the inner wall of the tank 301 at the purification and adsorption chamber 304 by bolts. The detachable mounting ring 309 facilitates disassembly for periodic replacement of the purification and adsorption assembly. Multiple sets of activated carbon adsorption plates 3010 effectively purify harmful substances in the air, preventing them from entering the water ring vacuum pump 2 and corroding it.
[0026] The outer wall of the tank 301 is provided with heat dissipation fins 8, and multiple sets of heat dissipation fins 8 are provided. By setting heat dissipation fins 8, the cooling effect of the cooling purifier 3 can be further improved.
[0027] This invention connects a cooling purifier 3 between the exhaust port of the condenser 1 and the inlet of the water ring vacuum pump 2. By installing a heat exchange component, a purification adsorption component, and a vacuum pump 302 inside the tank 301 of the cooling purifier 3, the air and uncondensed steam coming out of the condenser 1 can be cooled and filtered by adsorption. The heat exchange component reduces the air temperature and the content of uncondensed steam, while the purification adsorption component adsorbs impurities in the air, preventing high-temperature air containing corrosive substances and excessive uncondensed steam from entering the water ring vacuum pump 2 and restricting the output of the water ring vacuum pump 2.
