The condensing equipment of a steam turbine is a crucial 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
Condenser equipment serves as a cooling source in the thermal cycle of steam turbines, used to reduce the exhaust pressure of the steam turbines to improve the thermal efficiency of the cycle. The most effective way to reduce the exhaust pressure of the steam turbines is to condense the exhaust steam into water. Because if steam releases heat in a sealed container (condenser), it will cause a large volume of steam to condense into a small volume of condensate and accumulate at the bottom of the condenser, thereby creating a high vacuum in the space originally filled with steam. This is the simple working principle of the condenser equipment.
The task of the condensate equipment is
(1) Establish and maintain a high degree of vacuum at the steam turbine exhaust outlet to enhance the thermal efficiency of the cycle.
(2) Condense the exhaust steam from the steam turbine into clean condensate, which will serve as the feed water for the boiler, and receive the thermal system.
