Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water circulation technology, specifically to a high-efficiency circulation device for reducing the turbidity of steam turbine circulating water. Background Technology
[0002] During operation, circulating water becomes concentrated due to heat exchange and evaporation, thus increasing its hardness. Furthermore, the turbidity gradually increases due to the absorption of dust from the air during heat exchange, leading to a deterioration in water quality. This makes the water more prone to adhering to the stainless steel heat exchange tubes of the turbine condenser, forming scale or deposits. This affects heat exchange, reduces the turbine's vacuum level, causes the turbine's exhaust temperature to rise, reduces the turbine's thermal efficiency, and ultimately reduces power generation efficiency.
[0003] To avoid this situation, the circulating water system is equipped with both a high-speed filter and a water softener. These filters remove sludge and other impurities from the circulating water, while the water softener reduces its hardness. The high-speed filter requires a bypass pump to draw circulating water from the pre-circulating water tank, filters the turbid water, and then returns it to the circulating water tank. In the original design, both the inlet and outlet of the high-speed filter were connected to the circulating water tank, with a distance of no more than ten meters between them: Circulating Water Tank ① → Pre-circulating Water Tank ② → Bypass Pump ③ → High-Speed Filter ④ → Circulating Water Tank ①. Because the inlet and outlet distance of the high-speed filter was too short, a small circulation of filtered water was formed, resulting in low filtration efficiency.
[0004] The design of a water softener also utilizes a side-filter pump to draw water from the circulating water pool to reduce the hardness of the circulating water. The water power source for the normal operation of the water softener comes from the side-filter pump. Due to the diversion of the water source by the water softener, the inlet pressure of the high-speed filter will be lower, which will increase the output of the side-filter pump and cause an increase in energy consumption. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency circulation device for reducing the turbidity of turbine circulating water. The outlet pipe of the circulating water after treatment by a high-speed filter is extended to the other side away from the forebay of the circulating water pool. A small circulation mode is adopted: cooling tower → circulating water forebay → side filter pump → high-speed filter → > cooling tower B port → cooling tower. This increases the filtration and replacement volume of turbid water in the circulating water and improves the filtration effect of the high-speed filter, thereby solving the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
