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 acts as a cooling source in the thermal cycle of steam turbines, used to reduce the exhaust pressure of the turbines to enhance the thermal efficiency of the cycle. The most effective way to lower the exhaust pressure of the steam turbine is to condense the turbine exhaust into water. Because if steam releases heat in a sealed container (condenser), it will condense a large volume of steam 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 exhaust steam from the steam turbine into clean condensate, which serves as the feedwater for the boiler, and receive the thermal system.
