Low pressure heater

Equipment for heating
The function of the low-pressure heater is to use the steam that has done some work in the steam turbine to pump it into the heater to heat the feed water, increase the temperature of the water, reduce the amount of steam discharged by the steam turbine to the condenser, reduce the energy loss, and improve the cycle efficiency of the thermal system. Vertical tube sheet heaters are widely used in structure. The heating surface of the heater is generally composed of straight tube bundles or U-shaped tube bundles made of brass tubes or seamless steel tubes. The heated water enters one side of the separated water chamber from the upper water inlet pipe, and then flows into the U-shaped tube bundle. The U-shaped tube absorbs the heat of the heating steam in the steam space of the heater, transfers the heat from the tube wall to the flowing water in the tube, and the heated water flows out through the outlet water chamber of the heater.

Faults and measures

Low pressure heater
1. The tube bundle at the steam inlet is easily damaged by steam flow erosion.
Generally, special protective baffle is installed in front of the tube bundle at the steam inlet to disperse the steam flow and reduce its impact.
2. The heated water vaporizes in the heating pipe of the heater, causing water hammer.
To prevent this phenomenon, it is required that the pressure of the heated water should be higher than the pressure of the heating steam.
3. Non condensable gas storage.
The air exhaust pipe installed on the heater shall be kept unblocked.

There are gradual self flow and Drain pump The difference between circulation and equipment is whether there is drainage pump or not.
commonly power plant It is condensate Shaft seal heater Direct to low pressure heater (different system stages, for example, 125MW and 300MW are level 4)
