Steam Turbine Condenser

In this paper, the results of the steam turbine condenser tests showing the dependence of the dissolved oxygen concentration and the water cooling temperature are presented. The steam surface condenser with the water cooling system is considered as the first stage of deaeration in the feedwater system of a steam turbine. The aim of this work is trying to investigate and describe the influence of regime factors on the deaeration effect of the steam surface condenser. Regimes with the nominal flow of the steam in the surface condenser were chosen for the estimation. The tests were continuing for 6 months in the range of the temperature of cooling water from 1 to 25 оС. The vacuum system of the steam turbine had a high level of air leakages that decreasing the efficiency of the feedwater dearation. The results show the negative correlation between dissolved oxygen in feedwater and the cooling water temperature. The surge of the concentration of dissolved oxygen was found in the water temperature about 11оС.

The Mathematical Model

The condensing unit is one of the most important elements of the steam turbine of a combined heat and power plant. Defects in elements of the condensing unit lead to disturbances in the steam turbine operation, its failures and breakdowns, as well as efficiency losses of the plant. Therefore, the operating personnel need to know the cause of the malfunction and to correct it immediately. There are no diagnostic models of condensers in the Republic of Kazakhstan at the moment. In this regard, a mathematical model of a condenser based on the methodology of Kaluga Turbine Plant (KTP) has been developed. The mathematical model makes it possible to change the input parameters, plot dependency diagrams, and calculate the plant efficiency indicators. The mathematical model of the condenser can be used to research ways for the improvement of the condensing unit efficiency, for diagnostic purposes of the equipment condition, for the energy audit conduction of the plant, and in the training when performing virtual laboratory research. Using static data processing by linear regression method we obtain that the KTP methodology of condenser calculation is fair at cooling water temperature from 20 °C to 24 °C, but at cooling water temperature from 20 °C to 28 °C, the methodology of JSC "All-Russia Thermal Engineering Institute" (JSC "VTI") is used. One of the ways to increase the condenser efficiency has been proposed. It is the heat transfer augmentation with riffling annular grooves on tubes. This method increases the heat transfer coefficient by 2%, reduces the water subcooling of the heating steam by 0.9 °C, and decreases the cooling area by 2%.

Water Cooling System

For numerous reasons a closed-circuit water cooling system is the preferred option for providing cooling water to the electron microscope. Cooling water is required by the electron microscope to cool the diffusion pumps and to keep the electronics' and coiumn temperature stable.A closed-circuit water cooling system is essential if the local water supply has a high chloride concentration, has floating particles, is acidic, has a water temperature that fluctuates and is uncontrollable. This potentially leads to specimen drift problems in the TEW, and/or has a water temperature that is very cold. This potentially leads to condensation problems or diffusion pumps not functioning properly in the TEM.

In order to solve the problem that the traditional cooling system cannot adjust the cooling water temperature to the different operation conditions of diesel engine, the auto-control cooling system is designed. Using it, the coolant temperature can be adjusted automatically by the single-chip which controls the transducer-controlled pump and the electronic dividing valve which replaces the thermostat. We use the thermal equilibrium bench to verify the figures, and the result is show that using the exhaust of generator heats the cooling water can shorten 13 minutes in starting process and the cooling water temperature adjusted automatically to the changing operation conditions of iesel can decrease the fuel consumption remarkably, the highest fuel saving rate reached 5.4%, the averagely fuel saving rate reached 3.6%.

Cooling Water Temperature

The concept of optimum cooling water temperature rise in a power plant has been introduced in this study as that which corresponds to the highest possible net plant output. Every power plant having a steam turbine exhausting to a water-cooled condenser has a unique optimum cooling water temperature rise. This optimum temperature rise may not be the minimum possible as often inadvertently assumed by power plant designers. This optimum temperature rise is a strong function of the steam turbine exhaust parameters. The author has developed correlations, which will help determine the optimum temperature rise using easily available power plant design parameters. This paper will discuss the details behind this method and show the thermal and financial advantages of designing a plant with this concept. A proper understanding of this concept will enable power plant designers to economically and efficiently size the condenser cooling water system.

Abstract Study presents the results of the steam surface KCS-200-2 reconstruction. In order to maintain the dissolved oxygen concentration, according to the Code of Operation for Power Plants, the steam sparger was installed in condenser hotwell. Despite the abnormal air leakage level, reducing of dissolved oxygen concentration was reached. The dissolved oxygen concentration reduced, on average, by 2 times. As it was expected, in the cases of low inlet cooling water temperature, the final oxygen concentration did not reach the normal level. In last 3 tests the dissolved oxygen concentration was reduced to 19 mg /l. The results show a possibility of described reconstruction experience.

This paper describes a solar absorption cooling installation located at the University of Zaragoza (Spain). The installation is based on the performance of an absorption chiller. The solar cooling system consists of 37,5 m2 of flat plate collector, a 4.5 kW, single-effect LiBr-H2O absorption chiller, and a dry cooling tower. The installation provides cooling to a gymnasium belonging to the sports center of the university. To carry out the installation analysis, the system was continuously monitored. In 2007, 2008 and 2009, several studies have been performed in order to analyze the full system operation. The measured data showed the strong influence of the cooling water temperature and the generator driving temperature on the COP. Due to the experimental evidence of the influence of the cooling water temperature, a new heat rejection system based on a geothermal heat sink has been installed and studied.

Cooling Water Temperature

Production of overall CO2 emissions has exhibited a significant reduction in almost every industry in the last decades. The steelmaking industry is still one of the most significant producers of CO2 emissions worldwide. The processes and facilities used at steel plants, such as the blast furnace and the electric arc furnace, generate a large amount of waste heat, which can be recovered and meaningfully used. Another way to reduce CO2 emissions is to reduce the number of low-quality steel products which, due to poor final quality, need to be scrapped. Steel product quality is strongly dependent on the continuous casting process where the molten steel is converted into solid semifinished products such as slabs, blooms, or billets. It was observed that the crack formation can be affected by the water cooling temperature used for spray cooling which varies during the year. Therefore, a proper determination of the cooling water temperature can prevent the occurrence of steel defects. The main idea is based on the utilization of the waste heat inside the steel plant for preheating the cooling water used for spray cooling in the Continuous Casting (CC) process in terms of water temperature stabilization. This approach can improve the quality of steel and contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The results show that, in the case of billet casting, a reduction in the cooling water consumption can be also reached. The presented tools for achieving these goals are based on laboratory experiments and on advanced numerical simulations of the casting process.
