AI Technical Summary
Traditional condenser ball cleaning devices suffer from poor cleaning results because excessive bends in the tubes increase the resistance of the balls, making them prone to clogging, resulting in a low ball collection rate and reduced suction capacity of the ball pump.
Adjust the installation positions of the ball collecting net and the ball pump to make the ball collecting net higher than the ball pump and the ball loading chamber. This simplifies the pipeline, reduces blockages, and enhances the suction capacity of the ball pump. Efficient cleaning is achieved through a combination of gravity and pump power.
It improves the cleaning effect of condenser cooling tubes, with a ball recovery rate of 95%, reduces the useless work of the ball pump, avoids ball blockage, and extends the service life of the cooling tubes.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning devices for power plants, and in particular to a condenser ball cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] The condenser ball cleaning device is used to clean the condenser cooling tubes during the operation of a steam turbine unit. It consists of a ball collection net, a ball loading chamber, and a ball delivery pump. Using this device allows for condenser cleaning without reducing the unit's load, improving heat transfer efficiency, preventing a decrease in turbine thermal efficiency due to increased back pressure, and preventing corrosion of the cooling tubes due to scaling, thus extending their service life. The performance of this device directly affects the degree of cleaning and heat transfer efficiency of the turbine condenser.
[0003] Traditional condenser ball cleaning devices have excessively large bends in the pipes, increasing the resistance to the flow of the balls and making them prone to clogging in the pipes, resulting in...
[0004] Blockage in the ball collection pipe leads to a low ball collection rate. The inlet of the ball pump is higher than the outlet of the ball collection net, which increases the work of the ball collection pump. When collecting balls, it is necessary to overcome the gravity of the water, which reduces the suction capacity of the ball pump. This can easily lead to the inability to collect balls or blockage, resulting in a reduction in the number of ball circulations and poor cleaning effect of the condenser cooling tubes. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a condenser ball cleaning device to solve the problem of poor cleaning effect of condenser cooling tubes in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides a condenser ball cleaning device: comprising a condenser, a circulating water outlet pipe, a ball collecting net, a collector, a ball pump, a ball loading chamber, and a circulating water inlet pipe; the circulating water outlet pipe is connected to the condenser, and a ball collecting net is installed inside the circulating water outlet pipe; the outlet end of the ball collecting net is connected to the ball pump; the other end of the ball pump is connected to the ball loading chamber; the other end of the ball loading chamber is connected to the circulating water inlet pipe, and the circulating water inlet pipe is connected to the condenser.
[0007] Furthermore, the ball-collecting net is positioned higher than the installation positions of the ball pump and the ball-loading chamber, while the positions of the ball-collecting net, the ball pump, and the ball-loading chamber are all lower than the condenser. The ball pump and the ball-loading chamber are installed between the circulating water inlet pipe and the circulating water outlet pipe.
[0008] Furthermore, a collector and a ball pump inlet valve are sequentially installed between the ball collection net outlet end and the ball pump. One end of the collector is connected to the ball collection net outlet end, and the other end is connected to the ball pump inlet valve.
[0009] Furthermore, the outlet section of the ball pump is equipped with a ball pump outlet valve, and the other end of the ball pump outlet valve is connected to the ball loading chamber.
[0010] Furthermore, the other end of the ball loading chamber is connected to the ball loading chamber outlet valve, and the other end of the ball loading chamber outlet valve is connected to the collector.
[0011] Furthermore, the collector connected to the other end of the ball filling chamber outlet valve is located inside the circulating water inlet pipe.
[0012] As described above, the condenser ball cleaning device of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: by changing the installation position of the ball collecting net and the ball pump and the ball loading chamber, the pipeline of the entire device can be simplified, pipeline blockage can be reduced, and the ball collection rate can be increased. At the same time, the height of the ball collecting net is higher than the installation position of the ball pump and the ball loading chamber, which reduces the work done by the ball collecting pump, increases the suction capacity of the ball pump, and makes it less likely to cause ball blockage, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the condenser cooling tubes.

[0016] Please see Figure 1 It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., depicted in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this invention. Furthermore, the terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of this invention.
[0017] The following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only. These embodiments can be combined and are not limited to the content shown in any single embodiment below.
[0018] As one example, such as Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a condenser ball cleaning device, including a condenser, a circulating water outlet pipe, a ball collecting net, a collector, a ball pump, a ball loading chamber, and a circulating water inlet pipe; the circulating water outlet pipe is connected to the condenser, and a ball collecting net is installed inside the circulating water outlet pipe; the outlet end of the ball collecting net is connected to the ball pump; the other end of the ball pump is connected to the ball loading chamber; the other end of the ball loading chamber is connected to the circulating water inlet pipe, which is connected to the condenser; the height of the ball collecting net is higher than the installation positions of the ball pump and the ball loading chamber, and the positions of the ball collecting net, the ball pump, and the ball loading chamber are... The pump is positioned below the condenser. The ball pump and the ball loading chamber are installed between the circulating water inlet pipe and the circulating water outlet pipe. A collector and a ball pump inlet valve are sequentially installed between the ball collecting net outlet end and the ball pump. One end of the collector is connected to the ball collecting net outlet end, and the other end is connected to the ball pump inlet valve. A ball pump outlet valve is installed at the outlet section of the ball pump, and the other end of the ball pump outlet valve is connected to the ball loading chamber. The other end of the ball loading chamber is connected to the ball loading chamber outlet valve, and the other end of the ball loading chamber outlet valve is connected to the collector. The collector connected to the other end of the ball loading chamber outlet valve is located inside the circulating water inlet pipe.
[0019] When the condenser ball cleaning device is working, the ball collecting net is closed, and the balls placed in the ball loading chamber are pumped into the collector in the circulating water inlet pipe by the ball pump. The balls, powered by the ball pump and the water flow in the circulating water inlet pipe, enter the condenser to complete the cleaning process. After cleaning, the balls enter the circulating water outlet pipe and are collected by the ball collecting net. Because the ball collecting net is higher than the installation positions of the ball pump and the ball loading chamber, gravity and the suction power of the ball pump are used to draw the balls into the ball loading chamber, thus completing the circulating cleaning process. By installing the ball pump and the ball loading chamber between the circulating water inlet and outlet pipes, the pipeline design is simplified, with fewer bends, reducing the resistance of the balls and water in the pipeline, minimizing the wasted work of the ball pump, and improving the suction capacity of the balls, effectively increasing the ball collection rate to approximately 95%.
[0020] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
