The condensing equipment of a steam turbine is an essential component of the condensing steam turbine unit. Its function is to condense the exhaust steam of the condensing steam turbine into water, forming and maintaining the required vacuum. The performance of the condensing equipment directly affects the thermal economy and safety of the entire unit.
Condenser Working Principle
Condensing equipment serves as a cooling source in the thermal cycle of steam turbines, used to reduce the exhaust pressure of the steam turbine to enhance the thermal efficiency of the cycle. The most effective way to lower the steam turbine exhaust pressure is to condense the exhaust steam into water. Because when steam releases heat in a sealed container (a condenser), it causes a large volume of steam to condense into a small volume of condensate, accumulating at the bottom of the condenser. This creates a high vacuum in the space originally filled with steam. This is the simple working principle of condensing equipment.
The task of the condensate equipment is
(1) Establish and maintain a high vacuum at the steam turbine exhaust outlet to enhance the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
(2) Condense the steam from the turbine into clean condensate, which is then used as feedwater for the boiler, and receive the thermal system.
