Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thermal power generation equipment technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency condensing steam turbine device for thermal power generation. Background Technology
[0002] In thermal power generation systems, the turbine condenser is one of the core auxiliary equipment. Its function is to condense the turbine exhaust steam into water, while establishing and maintaining a vacuum environment inside the condenser, reducing the turbine exhaust steam pressure, and improving the unit's cycle thermal efficiency.
[0003] The existing condensing unit mainly consists of the main body of the unit (1), condenser tubes, circulating water system and vacuum pumping device. However, in actual operation, the following problems exist: the steam exhaust from the turbine is not in sufficient contact with the condenser tubes, the steam flow is in a laminar state, the heat exchange area utilization rate is low, resulting in poor condensing efficiency; the inner wall of the condenser tube is prone to scaling and the outer wall is prone to dust accumulation, the heat transfer resistance increases, the heat exchange effect decreases significantly after long-term operation, the labor intensity of manual descaling is high, the vacuum pumping system mostly uses a single vacuum pump, the vacuum degree adjustment response is slow, and fluctuations are prone to occur, which leads to an increase in the steam exhaust pressure of the turbine, affecting the unit output; the circulating water uses a single loop flow, the heat exchange gradient between the high temperature zone and the low temperature zone is small, and energy waste is serious. Therefore, we propose a high-efficiency condensing unit for thermal power generation turbines. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a high-efficiency condensing device for thermal power turbines. It increases the heat exchange area through the finned structure of spiral microfin condenser tubes, enhances circulating water turbulence with internal turbulence ribs, and, combined with steam pre-cooling treatment, effectively reduces turbine exhaust pressure and improves unit cycle thermal efficiency. A two-stage vacuum system, combined with intelligent vacuum adjustment, reduces vacuum fluctuations within the condenser, preventing a decrease in unit output due to vacuum fluctuations. The overall structure of the device is adaptable to the retrofitting of existing thermal power generating units' condensing systems, requiring no significant adjustments to the unit layout, making installation convenient and applicable to a wide range of applications.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency condensing device for a thermal power generation steam turbine, comprising a main body, a steam pretreatment module, a high-efficiency condenser tube assembly, a two-stage vacuum system, a self-cleaning anti-scaling unit, and an intelligent control module. The main body contains a steam chamber, a condensing chamber, and a circulating water chamber. The top of the steam chamber has a steam inlet connected to the turbine exhaust port, and the bottom of the condensing chamber has a condensate outlet. The steam pretreatment module is located between the steam inlet and the condensing chamber. The steam pretreatment module includes an annular spray pipe, several atomizing nozzles, and a high-pressure water pump. The atomizing nozzles are arranged inclined towards the steam flow direction. For precooling and reducing the exhaust steam from the steam turbine, the high-efficiency condenser tube assembly is vertically arranged in the condensation chamber. The high-efficiency condenser tube assembly includes several spiral micro-finned condenser tubes, which are arranged in a staggered manner. The outer wall of the spiral micro-finned condenser tube is provided with continuous spiral fins, and the inner wall of the spiral micro-finned condenser tube is fixed with axial turbulence ribs. The two-stage vacuum system includes a Roots vacuum pump, a water ring vacuum pump, and a vacuum buffer tank connected in series.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the self-cleaning anti-scaling unit includes an ultrasonic transducer, a temperature sensor, a turbidity sensor, and a magnetized anti-scaling device connected in series in the circulating water inlet pipe, all disposed within the condensing chamber. The ultrasonic transducer is uniformly arranged circumferentially along the high-efficiency condenser tube assembly. The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the outer wall of the condenser tube, and the turbidity sensor is used to detect the turbidity of the circulating water. Both the temperature sensor and the turbidity sensor transmit detection data to the intelligent control module. The intelligent control module has a built-in PID adjustment algorithm and is used to dynamically adjust the water spray volume of the atomizing nozzle, the operating power of the two-stage vacuum system, and the operating frequency of the ultrasonic transducer based on the turbine exhaust flow rate, exhaust temperature, and the vacuum degree detected by the vacuum degree sensor in the condenser.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a guide plate is provided in the steam chamber of the main body of the device. The guide plate is inclinedly arranged below the steam inlet. The guide plate is used to uniformly guide the pre-cooled steam to the high-efficiency condenser tube assembly. There are eight turbulence ribs, which are uniformly distributed along the circumference of the inner wall of the high-efficiency condenser tube assembly.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the two-stage vacuum system further includes a vacuum regulating valve, which is disposed on the vacuum tube and electrically connected to the intelligent control module. The intelligent control module adjusts the opening degree of the vacuum regulating valve according to the pressure value detected by the vacuum sensor.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the circulating water chamber is divided into a high-temperature circulation zone and a low-temperature circulation zone. The high-temperature circulation zone corresponds to the steam inlet side of the condensation chamber, and the low-temperature circulation zone corresponds to the condensate outlet side of the condensation chamber. The high-temperature circulation zone and the low-temperature circulation zone are separated by a partition and are respectively provided with independent water inlets and outlets.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the annular spray pipe of the steam pretreatment module is connected to the low-temperature zone outlet of the circulating water chamber through the water inlet pipe, the high-pressure water pump is installed on the surface of the water inlet pipe, and the spray range of adjacent atomizing nozzles partially overlaps.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects that this utility model can achieve are:
[0012] 1.
