The condenser equipment of a steam turbine is a vital component of the condensing steam turbine setup, its function being to condense the exhaust steam of a condensing steam turbine into water, forming and maintaining the required vacuum. The performance of the condenser equipment directly affects the thermal economy and safety of the entire unit.
Condenser Working Principle
Condenser equipment plays the role of a cold 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 steam turbine exhaust pressure is to condense the turbine exhaust 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, 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 the condenser equipment.
The task of the condensing 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 serves as feedwater for the boiler, and receive the thermal system.
