[0011] Hereinafter, a collection device, a condensation system, and a collection method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, components having the same or similar functions are denoted by the same reference numerals. Furthermore, duplicate descriptions of those components may be omitted.

[0012] [First embodiment] Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0013] (Steam turbine plant configuration) First, the configuration of a steam turbine plant 1 according to the first embodiment will be described. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a steam turbine plant 1 according to a first embodiment in a permanent state (commercial operation state). The permanent section A of the steam turbine plant 1 includes, for example, a boiler 11, a steam turbine 12, a generator 13, a condenser 14, a pure water supply device 15, a main steam line 21, a steam stop valve 22, a steam control valve 23, a condensate line 25, a condensate pump 26, a condensate outlet valve 27, a feedwater line 31, a feedwater pump 32, a feedwater control valve 33, a feedwater blow line 35, a wastewater treatment device 36, a feedwater blow valve 37, a steam bypass line 41, and a bypass steam blow valve 42.

[0014] The boiler 11 heats water to generate steam. The steam turbine 12 has a turbine rotor 12r and a turbine casing 12c that covers the turbine rotor 12r. Steam from the boiler 11 flows into the turbine casing 12c. The turbine rotor 12r is rotated by the steam that has flowed into the turbine casing 12c. A rotor of a generator 13 is connected to the turbine rotor 12r.

[0015] The condenser 14 is a device that cools and condenses the steam after work is extracted by the steam turbine 12, and returns it to water. The condenser 14 has, for example, a condenser casing 14c and a heat transfer tube group 14t arranged in the condenser casing 14c and composed of a plurality of heat transfer tubes. The condenser casing 14c has a steam inlet opening 14ci that guides the steam exhausted from the steam turbine 12 into the condenser casing 14c. A cooling medium for cooling the steam exhausted from the steam turbine 12 flows through the plurality of heat transfer tubes. The cooling medium is, for example, seawater or river water. The steam exhausted from the steam turbine 12 is cooled by the cooling medium flowing through the heat transfer tubes and becomes water. Hereinafter, this water may be referred to as condensed water. The part below the heat transfer tube group 14t in the condenser casing 14c forms a hot well 14ch. Condensate accumulates in the hot well 14ch.

[0016] The pure water supply device 15 has a pure water tank 16 that stores pure water, a pure water line 17 that guides the pure water stored in the pure water tank 16 into the condenser casing 14c, a pure water pump 18 provided on the pure water line 17, and a pure water adjustment valve 19 that is disposed on the pure water line 17 closer to the condenser 14 than the pure water pump 18. The pure water adjustment valve 19 is opened when the amount of condensed water in the condenser casing 14c becomes low, and the pure water in the pure water tank 16 is used as condensate to replenish the condenser casing 14c.

[0017] The main steam line 21 connects the steam outlet of the boiler 11 and the steam inlet of the turbine casing 12c. The main steam line 21 is provided with a steam stop valve 22 that stops the flow of steam into the steam turbine 12, and a steam control valve 23 that adjusts the flow rate of steam flowing into the steam turbine 12.

[0018] Condensate line 25 connects drain outlet 14d of hot well 14ch of condenser casing 14c to suction port 26i of condensate pump 26. Condensate line 25 is provided with a condensate outlet valve 27. Condensate pump 26 sucks in condensate flowing through condensate line 25 and sends the sucked in condensate to feed water line 31. In this way, condensate pump 26 extracts condensate from hot well 14ch of condenser 14 and supplies the extracted condensate to feed water pump 32.

[0019] The feedwater line 31 connects the discharge port of the condensate pump 26 to the water inlet of the boiler 11. The feedwater line 31 is provided with a feedwater pump 32 that pressurizes the water from the condensate pump 26 and sends it to the boiler 11. The feedwater line 31 is provided at a position closer to the boiler 11 than the feedwater pump 32 with a feedwater adjustment valve 33 that adjusts the flow rate of water sent to the boiler 11.

[0020] A feedwater blow line 35 is connected to the feedwater line 31 at a position closer to the condensate pump 26 than the feedwater pump 32. A wastewater treatment device 36 is connected to the feedwater blow line 35. The wastewater treatment device 36 purifies the water flowing through the feedwater line 31. The feedwater blow line 35 is connected to the wastewater treatment device 36 so as to communicate with a treated water receiving space that receives the water to be purified within the wastewater treatment device 36. A feedwater blow valve 37 is provided on the feedwater blow line 35.

[0021] The steam bypass line 41 branches off from the main steam line 21 at a position between the boiler 11 and the steam stop valve 22. The steam bypass line 41 is connected to the condenser 14. A bypass steam blow valve 42 is provided in the steam bypass line 41.

[0022] (Collection device) Next, a description will be given of the collection device 50 provided in the steam turbine plant 1. In the following description, "the inside of the condenser 14" means the inside of the condenser casing 14c, and "the bottom 14b of the condenser 14" means the bottom of the condenser casing 14c. In this embodiment, the condenser 14, the collection device 50, and the condensation piping 60 described later constitute a "condensing facility CE."

[0023] 2 is a diagram showing a collection device 50 according to the first embodiment. The collection device 50 is a device that collects foreign matter M mixed in the condensate of the condenser 14 of the steam turbine plant 1. The collection device 50 has, for example, a condensate pump suction strainer 51 and an in-condenser collector 50c.

[0024] The condensate pump suction strainer 51 is provided in the middle of a condensate piping 60 that connects a drain outlet 14d provided in the bottom 14b of the condenser 14 and a suction port 26i of the condensate pump 26. The condensate piping 60 is a piping that forms the condensate line 25. The condensate pump suction strainer 51 is provided in the condensate piping 60 upstream of the condensate pump 26.

[0025] Condensate pump suction strainer 51 is a collector having, for example, plate member 51a and a plurality of openings 51h provided in plate member 51a, and passing condensate to collect foreign matter. Opening 51h has an opening width of a first dimension. "Opening width" means, for example, the diameter when the opening is circular, and means the maximum width within the opening when the opening is polygonal. In other words, "opening width" means the maximum size of foreign matter that can pass through. The first dimension is, for example, less than 5 mm, and in one example, less than 1 mm.

[0026] By providing such a condensate pump suction strainer 51, foreign matter Ma larger than the first dimension contained in the condensate flowing through the condensate piping 60 is collected by the condensate pump suction strainer 51. That is, the foreign matter Ma accumulates upstream of the condensate pump suction strainer 51. The foreign matter Ma collected by the condensate pump suction strainer 51 is removed by backwashing the condensate pump suction strainer 51 by a backwash mechanism (not shown). The condensate pump suction strainer 51 is, for example, a foreign matter collector permanently installed in the steam turbine plant 1. The condensate pump suction strainer 51 is an example of a "first foreign matter collector". The condensate pump suction strainer 51 may be referred to as a "condenser-external foreign matter collector".

[0027] The in-condenser collector 50c is a collector that is provided inside the condenser 14 and collects foreign matter by passing the condensed water in the condenser 14 toward the drain outlet 14d. The in-condenser collector 50c includes, for example, an in-condenser strainer 52 and a guard pipe 53.

[0028] The condenser strainer 52 is provided inside the condenser 14 and covers the drain port 14d of the condenser 14 from above. The condenser strainer 52 has a plurality of openings 52h, and is a collector that allows the condensate to pass through and collects foreign matter. The openings 52h have an opening width of a second dimension. The second dimension is larger than the above-mentioned first dimension (the dimension of the openings 51h of the condensate pump suction strainer 51). The second dimension is, for example, 1 mm or more, and in one example, 5 mm or more. From another perspective, the second dimension is, for example, less than 10 mm.

[0029] In this embodiment, the condenser strainer 52 has a tubular portion 52a formed by a tubular side wall 52s and a ceiling portion 52b covering the upper part of the tubular portion 52a. The term "tubular" is not limited to a cylindrical shape, but may be a rectangular tubular shape. This definition is also true for the guard pipe 53 and the inertial collector 72 described later. The diameter of the tubular portion 52a is larger than the diameter of the drain port 14d of the condenser 14. The tubular portion 52a is fixed to the bottom portion 14b of the condenser 14 by, for example, welding or the like. A plurality of openings 52h are provided in each of the tubular portion 52a and the ceiling portion 52b. That is, the condensate in the condenser 14 flows into the drain port 14d through the plurality of openings 52h provided in the tubular portion 52a and the plurality of openings 52h provided in the ceiling portion 52b. In this embodiment, the tubular portion 52a and the ceiling portion 52b are formed of punch metal.

[0030] The in-condenser strainer 52 has a first height H1 as a height from the bottom 14b of the condenser 14. In the present embodiment, the first height H1 is the height from the bottom 14b of the condenser 14 to the upper surface of the ceiling portion 52b.

[0031] By providing such an in-condenser strainer 52, foreign matter Mb larger than the second dimension and contained in the condensate in the condenser 14 is collected by the in-condenser strainer 52. That is, the foreign matter Mb accumulates upstream of the in-condenser strainer 52. The in-condenser strainer 52 is, for example, a foreign matter collector permanently installed in the steam turbine plant 1. The in-condenser strainer 52 is an example of a "second foreign matter collector." The in-condenser strainer 52 may also be referred to as a "first in-condenser foreign matter collector."

[0032] The guard pipe 53 is provided at the bottom 14b of the condenser 14 and surrounds the periphery of the condenser strainer 52. The guard pipe 53 is a collector having one or more openings 53h (see FIG. 3) and passing the condensate through it to collect foreign matter. In this embodiment, the guard pipe 53 has a cylindrical portion 53a formed by a cylindrical side wall 53s. The cylindrical portion 53a surrounds the periphery of the cylindrical portion 52a of the condenser strainer 52. The cylindrical portion 53a is fixed to the bottom 14b of the condenser 14 by, for example, welding or the like. A gap S through which the condensate can flow is provided between the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 53a and the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 52a of the condenser strainer 52. The upper part of the cylindrical portion 53a is open.

[0033] 3 is a perspective view showing the guard pipe 53. The opening 53h is provided in a part of the circumferential direction of the cylindrical portion 53a, and extends along the axial direction (vertical direction) of the cylindrical portion 53a. The opening 53h reaches, for example, the bottom portion 14b of the condenser 14. In this embodiment, the opening 53h is a slit extending from the upper end to the lower end of the cylindrical portion 53a. In other words, the guard pipe 53 in this embodiment is formed by removing (for example, cutting) a part of the circumferential direction of the short pipe. The opening 53h functions as a water passage gap that guides the condensate on the outer circumferential side of the guard pipe 53 to the inner circumferential side of the guard pipe 53.

[0034] 4 is a plan view showing the in-condenser strainer 52 and the guard pipe 53. The opening 53h has an opening width of a third dimension D3 in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical portion 53a. When the opening extends linearly, the "opening width" refers to the dimension in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the opening. The third dimension D3 is larger than the above-mentioned second dimension (the dimension of the opening 52h of the in-condenser strainer 52). The third dimension D3 is, for example, 10 mm or more.

[0035] Returning to Fig. 2, the description of the guard pipe 53 will continue. The guard pipe 53 has a second height H2 as a height from the bottom 14b of the condenser 14. In this embodiment, the second height H2 is the height from the bottom 14b of the condenser 14 to the upper end of the cylindrical portion 53a. The second height H2 is higher than the first height H1 (the height of the in-condenser strainer 52).

[0036] By providing such guard pipe 53, foreign matter Mc larger than the third dimension D3 and contained in the condensate on the outer periphery side of the guard pipe 53 (for example, foreign matter Mc accumulated at the bottom 14b of the condenser 14) is collected by the guard pipe 53. That is, the foreign matter Mc accumulates on the outer periphery side of the guard pipe 53. The guard pipe 53 is, for example, a temporary foreign matter collector. The guard pipe 53 is provided in the steam turbine plant 1 when there is a possibility that the condensate in the condenser 14 contains a large amount of foreign matter (when blowing out is performed, etc.). However, the guard pipe 53 may be a foreign matter collector that is permanently installed in the steam turbine plant 1. The guard pipe 53 is an example of a "third foreign matter collector". The guard pipe 53 may be referred to as a "second foreign matter collector in the condenser".

[0037] (Collection method procedure) Next, the procedure of the foreign matter collecting method according to the first embodiment will be described. 5 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the collection method according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. The collection method of this embodiment is carried out when there is a possibility that a large amount of foreign matter such as welding slag and grinding chips remains in the piping and various devices, such as after construction or repair of the steam turbine plant 1. The collection method of this embodiment includes, for example, a collection device installation step (S11), a trial operation start step (S12) involving blowing out, a guard pipe removal step (S13), and a commercial operation start step (S14).

[0038] In the collection device installation process (S11), a condensate pump suction strainer 51 is installed in the condensate piping 60, and an in-condenser strainer 52 and a guard pipe 53 are installed inside the condenser 14. This collection device installation process (S11) is performed, for example, as part of the construction work of the steam turbine plant 1.

[0039] The trial operation start step (S12) is performed after the collection device installation step (S11). In the trial operation start step (S12), trial operation of the steam turbine plant 1 is started. As a part of the trial operation start step (S12), blowing out is performed on the steam turbine plant 1. The blowing out is an operation of supplying high-pressure gas (steam or air) to the piping of the steam turbine plant 1 in order to remove foreign matter such as welding slag and grinding chips remaining in the piping and various devices. In the blowing out of this embodiment, for example, high-pressure gas is supplied to the main steam line 21 and the steam turbine 12 so as to guide foreign matter in the main steam line 21 and the steam turbine 12 to the condenser 14. In addition, in the blowing out of this embodiment, high-pressure gas is supplied to the steam bypass line 41 so as to guide foreign matter in the steam bypass line 41 to the condenser 14. As a result, foreign matter remaining in the main steam line 21, the steam turbine 12, the steam bypass line 41, etc. are guided to the condenser 14. The above-described blowing out process may be repeated multiple times as necessary.

[0040] The foreign matter guided to the condenser 14 attempts to flow toward the condensate pump 26 together with the condensate in the condenser 14. In the process of moving toward the condensate pump 26, the foreign matter guided to the condenser 14 is collected, in order of size, by guard pipe 53, in-condenser strainer 52, and condensate pump suction strainer 51. Thereafter, guard pipe 53, in-condenser strainer 52, and condensate pump suction strainer 51 are cleaned. This removes foreign matter that has been generated during construction, repair, etc. of the steam turbine plant 1.

[0041] The guard pipe removal step (S13) is performed after the trial operation start step (S12). In the guard pipe removal step (S13), the guard pipe 53 is removed from the bottom 14b of the condenser 14. However, the guard pipe 53 may be used as a permanent foreign matter collector without being removed from the condenser 14. In this case, the guard pipe removal step (S13) is omitted.

[0042] The commercial operation start process (S14) is performed after the guard pipe removal process (S13). In the commercial operation start process (S14), commercial operation of the steam turbine plant 1 is started, involving power generation by the generator 13. Foreign matter generated after the start of commercial operation is collected by the condenser in-strainer 52 and the condensate pump suction strainer 51.

[0043] (Action and effect) In the collecting device 50 and collecting method configured as above, foreign matter is collected not only by the condensate pump suction strainer 51 but also by the in-condenser collector 50c provided in the condenser 14. For example, the opening 51h of the condensate pump suction strainer 51 has a first dimension, and the opening of the in-condenser collector 50c has a second dimension larger than the first dimension, so that the condensate in the condenser 14 is smoothly guided to the drain outlet 14d, and at least a part of the foreign matter that may cause clogging of the condensate pump suction strainer 51 is collected in the condenser 14, and the foreign matter can be prevented from reaching the condensate pump suction strainer 51. This can prevent clogging of the condensate pump suction strainer 51. As a result, the cleaning burden of the condensate pump suction strainer 51 can be reduced.

[0044] From another perspective, by using the collection device 50 and collection method of this embodiment, foreign matter contained in the condensate in the condenser 14 can be collected while avoiding clogging of the condensate pump suction strainer 51. For this reason, as a blowing-out method, for example, a method of blowing out into the condenser 14 from the early stage of blowing out can be adopted. According to such a blowing-out method, the number of steps required for blowing out can be reduced compared to a case where, for example, temporary piping including an inertial collector is installed in the main steam line 21, the steam bypass line 41, or the like and blowing out is performed. As a result, the construction period of the steam turbine plant 1, construction, repair, and the like can be shortened.

[0045] In this embodiment, the in-condenser collector 50c has an in-condenser strainer 52 having an opening 52h of a second dimension, and a guard pipe 53 having an opening 53h of a third dimension larger than the second dimension. With this configuration, foreign matter of different sizes is collected in order of size by the guard pipe 53, the in-condenser strainer 52, and the condensate pump suction strainer 51. Therefore, clogging of the in-condenser strainer 52 and the condensate pump suction strainer 51 becomes less likely to occur. This makes it possible to further reduce the cleaning burden.

[0046] In this embodiment, the height H2 of the guard pipe 53 relative to the bottom 14b of the condenser 14 is higher than the height H1 of the in-condenser strainer 52 relative to the bottom 14b of the condenser 14. With this configuration, it is possible to further reduce the possibility that foreign matter that has sunk to the bottom 14b of the condenser 14 will climb over the guard pipe 53 and reach the in-condenser strainer 52. This makes it possible to further reduce the cleaning burden.

[0047] In this embodiment, the opening 53h provided in the guard pipe 53 is provided in the side wall 53s of the cylindrical portion 53a, and reaches the bottom portion 14b of the condenser 14. With this configuration, it becomes possible to drain all of the condensate on the outer circumferential side of the guard pipe 53. This makes it possible to avoid erroneous detection by the water level sensor provided in the condenser 14, and also improves the workability of repairs and the like related to the condenser 14.

[0048] (Modification) Next, a description will be given of some modified examples of the first embodiment. In each modified example, the configuration other than that described below is the same as that of the first embodiment.

[0049] (First Modification) 6 is a perspective view showing guard pipe 53 according to a first modified example. Opening 53h provided in guard pipe 53 of the first modified example is a notch provided in the upper end portion of cylindrical portion 53a. By providing opening 53h, a part of the upper end portion of cylindrical portion 53a is lowered.

[0050] (Second Modification) 7 is a perspective view showing a guard pipe 53 according to a second modified example. An opening 53h provided in guard pipe 53 of the second modified example is a notch provided in the lower end portion of tubular portion 53a. Opening 53h reaches bottom portion 14b of condenser 14. By providing opening 53h, a communication portion that communicates between the inside and outside of tubular portion 53a is formed between a part of the lower end portion of tubular portion 53a and bottom portion 14b of condenser 14.

[0051] (Third Modification) 8 is a perspective view showing a guard pipe 53 according to a third modified example. The guard pipe 53 of the third modified example has one or more (e.g., a plurality of) openings 53h. The openings 53h of this modified example are circular holes provided in the tubular portion 53a. The multiple openings 53h are arranged separately in the circumferential and vertical directions of the tubular portion 53a.

[0052] (Fourth Modification) FIG. 9 is a plan view showing a guard pipe 53 according to a fourth modification. The guard pipe 53 of the fourth modification has an opening 53h provided in the cylindrical portion 53a and a pair of protruding portions 53ba, 53bb provided on both sides of the opening 53h. The protruding portions 53ba, 53bb protrude toward the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 53a with respect to the outer periphery of the side wall 53s of the cylindrical portion 53a. The protruding portions 53ba, 53bb are provided, for example, over the entire height of the cylindrical portion 53a. The protruding portions 53ba, 53bb prevent foreign matter M on the outer periphery side of the guard pipe 53 from flowing around and flowing into the inner periphery side of the guard pipe 53 from the opening 53h. With this configuration, clogging of the condenser strainer 52 and the condensate pump suction strainer 51 is more unlikely to occur.

[0053] [Second embodiment] Next, a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figs. 10 to 13. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a temporary section B of a steam turbine plant 1A includes a temporary piping 70. The configuration other than that described below is the same as that of the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the condenser 14, the collection device 50, and the condensate piping 60A constitute a "condensation facility CEA."

[0057] The permanent elbow pipe 63 is provided between the first connection pipe 61 and the second connection pipe 62, and is connected to the first connection pipe 61 and the second connection pipe 62. The permanent elbow pipe 63 has, for example, a first flow path portion 63a, a second flow path portion 63b, a bent portion 63c, a first connection portion 63d, and a second connection portion 63e. The permanent elbow pipe 63 is an example of a "permanent pipe".

[0058] The first flow path portion 63a extends downward. "Extending downward" is not limited to extending vertically downward, but also includes extending diagonally downward. The first flow path portion 63a is disposed directly below the first connection pipe 61 (i.e., directly below the drain port 14d of the condenser 14) and is connected to the first connection pipe 61. A first connection portion 63d is provided at the upstream end of the first flow path portion 63a. The first connection portion 63d is a connection portion that can be attached to the connection portion 61a of the first connection pipe 61. The first connection portion 63d is a connection seat that is, for example, a connection flange.

[0059] The second flow path portion 63b is located downstream of the first flow path portion 63a. The second flow path portion 63b extends in a direction intersecting with the first flow path portion 63a. In this embodiment, the second flow path portion 63b extends in a horizontal direction that is perpendicular to the first flow path portion 63a. The second flow path portion 63b is connected to the second connection pipe 62. A second connection portion 63e is provided at the downstream end of the second flow path portion 63b. The second connection portion 63e is a connection portion that can be attached to the connection portion 62a of the second connection pipe 62. The second connection portion 63e is a connection seat that is, for example, a connection flange.

[0060] The bent portion 63c is located between the first flow path portion 63a and the second flow path portion 63b. The bent portion 63c is bent in a direction from the first flow path portion 63a toward the second flow path portion 63b. "Bending" is not limited to bending, but also includes bending in an arc shape. The bent portion 63c connects the first flow path portion 63a and the second flow path portion 63b.

[0061] 11 is a cross-sectional view showing a temporary state of a portion of the condensate line 25 (for example, a state when blowing out is being performed). The temporary section B of the steam turbine plant 1 has a temporary piping 70 as part of the condensate line 25. The temporary piping 70 is installed between the first connection piping 61 and the second connection piping 62 in place of the permanent elbow piping 63. The temporary piping 70 includes, for example, an elbow piping 71 (hereinafter referred to as "temporary elbow piping 71" for distinction) and an inertia collector 72.

[0062] The temporary elbow pipe 71 is installed between the first connection pipe 61 and the second connection pipe 62 in place of the elbow pipe 63, and is connected to the first connection pipe 61 and the second connection pipe 62. The temporary elbow pipe 71 has, for example, a first flow path portion 71a, a second flow path portion 71b, a bent portion 71c, a first connection portion 71d, and a second connection portion 71e.

[0063] The first flow path portion 71a extends downward. For example, the first flow path portion 71a extends vertically downward in a straight line. The first flow path portion 71a is disposed directly below the first connection pipe 61 (i.e., directly below the drain port 14d of the condenser 14) and is connected to the first connection pipe 61. A first connection portion 71d is provided at the upstream end of the first flow path portion 71a. The first connection portion 71d is a connection portion that can be attached to the connection portion 61a of the first connection pipe 61. The first connection portion 71d is a connection seat that is, for example, a connection flange.

[0064] The second flow path portion 71b is located downstream of the first flow path portion 71a. The second flow path portion 71b extends in a direction intersecting with the first flow path portion 71a. In this embodiment, the second flow path portion 71b extends in a horizontal direction that is perpendicular to the first flow path portion 71a. The second flow path portion 71b is connected to the second connection pipe 62. A second connection portion 71e is provided at the downstream end of the second flow path portion 71b. The second connection portion 71e is a connection portion that can be attached to the connection portion 62a of the second connection pipe 62. The second connection portion 71e is a connection seat that is, for example, a connection flange.

[0065] The bent portion 71c is located between the first flow path portion 71a and the second flow path portion 71b. The bent portion 71c is bent in a direction from the first flow path portion 71a toward the second flow path portion 71b. The bent portion 71c connects the first flow path portion 71a and the second flow path portion 71b. The lower end of the bent portion 71c has an opening 71f that opens downward.

[0066] The inertial collector 72 branches off from the bent portion 71c and extends downward. The inertial collector 72 is provided below (for example, directly below) the first flow path portion 71a and communicates with an opening 71f of the bent portion 71c. That is, the inertial collector 72 is disposed directly below the drain port 14d of the condenser 14. The inertial collector 72 collects foreign matter separated by inertial force from the condensate flowing through the temporary elbow piping 71.

[0067] 12 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a portion of the temporary piping 70. The inertial collector 72 has, for example, a cylindrical portion 72a, a drain outlet 72b, a blocking member 72c, a connection portion 72d, and a bottom cover 72e.

[0068] The cylindrical portion 72a is provided below (e.g., directly below) the first flow path portion 71a and communicates with an opening 71f of the bent portion 71c of the temporary elbow pipe 71. That is, the cylindrical portion 72a is disposed directly below the drain outlet 14d of the condenser 14. The cylindrical portion 72a extends downward (e.g., vertically downward). The cylindrical portion 72a has a side wall 72s formed in a cylindrical shape.

[0069] The drain outlet 72b is provided near the lower end of the cylindrical portion 72a. The drain outlet 72b is an opening provided in a side wall 72s at a portion of the circumference of the cylindrical portion 72a. The drain outlet 72b communicates the inside and outside of the cylindrical portion 72a. A blocking member 72c is removably attached to the drain outlet 72b. When the blocking member 72c is attached, the drain outlet 72b is blocked. On the other hand, an operator can remove the blocking member 72c to discharge condensate and foreign matter accumulated in the inertial collector 72 to the outside through the drain outlet 72b.

[0070] The connection portion 72d is provided at the lower end of the cylindrical portion 72a. The connection portion 72d is a connection portion to which the bottom cover 72e can be attached. The connection portion 72d is a connection seat, for example, a connection flange. The bottom cover 72e is attached to the connection portion 72d and closes the lower part of the cylindrical portion 72a.

[0071] (Collection method procedure) Next, the procedure of the foreign matter collecting method according to the second embodiment will be described. 13 is a flowchart showing the procedure of a collection method according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. In addition to the steps of the collection method according to the first embodiment, the collection method according to this embodiment includes a temporary piping installation step (S21), a temporary piping removal step (S22), and a permanent piping installation step (S23).

[0072] The temporary piping installation step (S21) is performed before the trial operation start step (S12). In the temporary piping installation step (S21), the temporary piping 70 including the inertial collector 72 is installed between the first connection piping 61 and the second connection piping 62. Thereafter, the trial operation start step (S12) is performed. That is, blowing out is performed in a state where the temporary piping 70 including the inertial collector 72 is installed.

[0073] The temporary piping removal process (S22) and the permanent piping installation process (S23) are performed after the trial operation start process (S12) (i.e., after blowing out) and before the commercial operation start process (S14). In the temporary piping removal process (S22), the temporary piping 70 is removed from between the first connection piping 61 and the second connection piping 62. Then, as the permanent piping installation process (S23), a permanent elbow piping 63 is installed between the first connection piping 61 and the second connection piping 62. Thereafter, the commercial operation start process (S14) is performed.

[0074] (Action and effect) In this embodiment, a temporary pipe 70 including an inertial collector 72 is installed as a part of the condensate pipe 60A during blowing out. In this case, at least a part of the foreign matter contained in the condensate flowing into the condensate pipe 60A from the drain outlet 14d of the condenser 14 is subjected to inertial force while flowing through the first connection pipe 61 and the first flow path portion 71a of the temporary elbow pipe 71, and when the flow direction of the condensate changes at the bent portion 71c of the temporary elbow pipe 71, the foreign matter is separated from the condensate by the inertial force in the direction of moving straight downward, and is collected inside the inertial collector 72. A part of the foreign matter M accumulated at the bottom of the inertial collector 72 is discharged to the outside from the drain outlet 72b by removing the blocking member 72c from the drain outlet 72b. Also, a part of the foreign matter M accumulated at the bottom of the inertial collector 72 is discharged to the outside by removing the bottom cover 72e from the cylindrical portion 72a.

[0075] According to this configuration, some of the foreign matter that may cause clogging of condensate pump suction strainer 51 is collected by inertial collector 72, and it is possible to prevent the foreign matter from reaching condensate pump suction strainer 51. This makes it possible to prevent clogging of condensate pump suction strainer 51. As a result, it is possible to reduce the cleaning burden of condensate pump suction strainer 51.

[0076] From another perspective, by using the temporary piping 70 including the inertial collector 72, foreign matter contained in the condensate in the condenser 14 can be collected while avoiding clogging of the condensate pump suction strainer 51. For this reason, as a blowing-out method, for example, a method of blowing out into the condenser 14 from the early stage of blowing out can be adopted. According to such a blowing-out method, the number of steps required for blowing out can be reduced compared to, for example, a case where temporary piping including an inertial collector is installed in the main steam line 21, the steam bypass line 41, or the like and blowing out is performed. As a result, the construction period of the steam turbine plant 1A, etc. can be shortened.

[0077] (Other embodiments) Although the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and design changes and the like that do not depart from the gist of the present disclosure are also included. In the above embodiment, the in-condenser collector 50c includes the in-condenser strainer 52 and the guard pipe 53, but is not limited to this. The in-condenser collector 50c may be composed of, for example, only one of the in-condenser strainer 52 and the guard pipe 53. When the in-condenser collector 50c is composed of only the guard pipe 53, the dimension of the opening 53h of the guard pipe 53 becomes the "second dimension".

[0078] [Note] The collection device 50, the condensation equipment CE, CEA, and the collection method described in each embodiment can be understood, for example, as follows.

[0079] (1) A collector 50 according to a first embodiment is a device for collecting foreign matter mixed in the condensate of a condenser 14 of a steam turbine plant 1, 1A, and includes a first foreign matter collector (e.g., a condensate pump suction strainer 51) and an in-condenser collector 50c. The first foreign matter collector is provided upstream of the condensate pump 26 in a condensate piping 60, 60A connecting the condensate pump 26 to a drain outlet 14d provided in the bottom 14b of the condenser 14, has an opening 51h of a first dimension, and collects foreign matter by passing the condensate. The in-condenser collector 50c is provided inside the condenser 14, has an opening 52h (or an opening 53h) of a second dimension larger than the first dimension, and collects foreign matter by passing the condensate in the condenser 14 toward the drain outlet 14d.

[0080] According to this configuration, the condensed water in the condenser 14 is smoothly guided to the drain outlet 14d, and at least some of the foreign matter that may cause clogging of the first foreign matter collector is collected in the condenser 14, preventing the foreign matter from reaching the first foreign matter collector. This makes it possible to prevent clogging of the first foreign matter collector. As a result, the burden of cleaning the first foreign matter collector can be reduced.

[0081] From another perspective, foreign matter contained in the condensate in the condenser 14 can be collected while avoiding clogging of the first foreign matter collector. For this reason, as a blowing-out technique, it is possible to adopt, for example, a technique of blowing out into the condenser 14 from the early stages of blowing out. According to such a blowing-out technique, the number of steps required for blowing out can be reduced compared to, for example, a case in which temporary piping including an inertial collector is installed in the main steam line 21, the steam bypass line 41, or the like and blowing out is performed. As a result, the construction period for the construction, repair, and the like of the steam turbine plant 1, 1A can be shortened.

[0082] (2) A collection device 50 according to a second embodiment is the collection device 50 of (1), wherein the internal condenser collector 50c may include a second foreign matter collector (e.g., an internal condenser strainer 52) that is arranged to cover the drain outlet 14d, has an opening 52h of a second dimension, and allows the condensate to pass through to collect foreign matter, and a third foreign matter collector (e.g., a guard pipe 53) that is provided on the bottom 14b of the condenser 14, surrounds the second foreign matter collector, has an opening 53h of a third dimension larger than the second dimension, and allows the condensate to pass through to collect foreign matter.

[0083] According to this configuration, the third foreign object collector, the second foreign object collector, and the first foreign object collector collect foreign objects of different sizes in order of size. This makes it more difficult for the second foreign object collector and the first foreign object collector to become clogged, thereby further reducing the cleaning burden.

[0084] (3) The collection device 50 of the third aspect is the collection device 50 of (2), wherein the height H2 of the third foreign matter collector relative to the bottom 14b of the condenser 14 may be higher than the height H1 of the second foreign matter collector relative to the bottom 14b of the condenser 14.

[0085] With this configuration, it is possible to further reduce the possibility that foreign matter that has sunk to the bottom 14b of the condenser 14 will climb over the third foreign matter collector and reach the second foreign matter collector. This makes it more difficult for the second foreign matter collector and the first foreign matter collector to become clogged, thereby further reducing the cleaning burden.

[0086] (4) A fourth aspect of the collection device 50 is the collection device 50 of (2) or (3), in which the third contaminant collector is cylindrical and has a side wall 53s that surrounds the second contaminant collector. An opening 53h of a third dimension provided in the third contaminant collector may be provided in the side wall 53s and reach the bottom 14b of the condenser 14.

[0087] With this configuration, it becomes possible to drain all of the condensate on the outer periphery side of the third foreign matter collector, thereby making it possible to prevent erroneous detection by the water level sensor provided in the condenser 14 and to improve the ease of repair work on the condenser 14.

[0088] (5) A fifth aspect of the collection device 50 is the collection device 50 of (4), in which the opening 53h of the third dimension provided in the third foreign matter collector may be a slit extending from the upper end to the lower end of the side wall 53s.

[0089] With this configuration, the third foreign matter collector can be manufactured relatively easily.

[0090] (6) The condensing equipment CE, CEA according to the sixth aspect includes a condenser 14 and the collection device 50 according to any one of (1) to (5).

[0091] According to this configuration, it is possible to provide the condensation equipment CE, CEA that can reduce the burden of cleaning the first foreign matter collector.

[0092] (7) The condensation equipment CEA of the seventh aspect may be provided on the condensation piping 60A and may include, as part of the condensation piping 60A, a connection portion 61a (or a connection portion 62a) to which a temporary piping 70 including an inertia collector 72 and a permanent piping which is an elbow piping 63 can be selectively attached.

[0093] According to such a configuration, it is possible to improve the workability of installing the temporary piping 70 including the inertia collector 72 as part of the condensate piping 60A, thereby shortening the construction period of the steam turbine plant 1, 1A, for example.

[0094] (8) The condensation equipment CEA of an eighth aspect is the condensation equipment CEA of (7), wherein the temporary piping 70 has a first flow path portion 71a through which the condensate drained from the drain outlet 14d flows downward, a second flow path portion 71b extending in a direction intersecting the first flow path portion 71a, and a bent portion 71c provided between the first flow path portion 71a and the second flow path portion 71b, and the inertial collector 72 may branch off from the bent portion 71c and extend downward.

[0095] With this configuration, some of the foreign matter that would cause clogging of the first foreign matter collector is collected by the inertial collector 72, and the foreign matter can be prevented from reaching the first foreign matter collector. This makes it possible to prevent clogging of the first foreign matter collector. As a result, the burden of cleaning the first foreign matter collector can be reduced.

[0096] (9) The condensing equipment CEA according to a ninth aspect is the condensing equipment CEA of (7) or (8), and the inertial collector 72 may be disposed immediately below the drain outlet 14d.

[0097] According to such a configuration, it becomes easier to apply an inertial force to the foreign matter toward the inertial collector 72. This can increase the efficiency with which the inertial collector 72 collects foreign matter.

[0098] (10) A collection method according to the tenth aspect is a collection method for collecting foreign matter mixed in the condensate of a condenser 14 of a steam turbine plant 1, 1A, in which a first foreign matter collector (e.g., a condensate pump suction strainer 51) having an opening 51h of a first dimension and collecting foreign matter by passing the condensate through is installed upstream of the condensate pump 26 in a condensate piping 60, 60A connecting the condensate pump 26 to a drain outlet 14d provided at the bottom 14b of the condenser 14, and an in-condenser collector 50c having an opening 52h (or opening 53h) of a second dimension larger than the first dimension is installed inside the condenser 14, and collecting foreign matter by passing the condensate in the condenser 14 toward the drain outlet 14d is installed, and blowing out is performed with the first foreign matter collector and the in-condenser collector 50c installed.

[0099] With this configuration, it is possible to collect foreign matter contained in the condensate in the condenser 14 while avoiding clogging of the first foreign matter collector. Therefore, as a blowing-out method, it is possible to adopt, for example, a method of blowing out into the condenser 14 from the early stage of blowing out. With this blowing-out method, the number of steps required for blowing out can be reduced compared to, for example, a case where temporary piping including an inertial collector is installed in the main steam line 21, the steam bypass line 41, or the like and blowing out is performed. This makes it possible to shorten the construction period, repair period, etc. of the steam turbine plant 1, 1A.

[0100] (11) A collection method according to an eleventh aspect is the collection method of (10), in which a temporary pipe 70 including an inertial collector 72 is installed as part of the condensate pipe 60A, and blowing out may be performed with the temporary pipe 70 installed.

[0101] According to such a configuration, it is possible to collect foreign matter contained in the condensate in the condenser 14 while further preventing clogging of the first foreign matter collector. [Industrial Applicability]

[0102] According to the collection device, condensate facility, and collection method of the present disclosure, it is possible to reduce the burden of cleaning. [Explanation of symbols]
