Abstract

A module for a thermal power plant for condensing expelled vapors and cooling turbine effluent from the drained turbine includes a first unit designed to condense expelled vapors as well as a second unit designed to cool the turbine effluent, condensate from the first unit being transferable to the second unit.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A module for a thermal power plant for condensing vapor steam and for cooling turbine waste water from turbine drainage, comprising:
a first unit which is designed to condense the vapor steam,
a second unit which is designed to cool the turbine waste water, and
cooling water that flows through the first unit,
wherein condensate produced in the first unit is passed to the second unit, and
wherein the cooling water is used in the second unit after flowing through the first unit.

2. The module as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
a condensate line which serves to pass condensate from the first unit to the second unit.

3. The module as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
in the first unit, an outlet through which air, carried with the vapor steam into the first unit, is discharged after condensation of the vapor steam.

4. The module as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the second unit has an inlet for the turbine waste water.

5. The module as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the second unit has an outlet to a main condenser.

6. The module as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
a connection line, serving for pressure equalization, between the second unit and a main condenser.

7. The module as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising:
a steam trap in the condensate line.

8. The module as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the cooling water comprises cooling water which is provided for standpipes of a main condenser of the thermal power plant.

9. The module as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the cooling water is injected into the second unit.

10. The module as claimed in claim 3 ,
wherein the air is discharged the atmosphere after condensation of the vapor steam.

11. The module as claimed in claim 4 ,
wherein the inlet for the turbine waste water is connected in an upper region of the second unit.

12. The module as claimed in claim 5 ,
wherein the outlet to the main condenser is connected in a lower region of the second unit.

13. The module as claimed in claim 6 ,
wherein the connection line is connected in an upper region of the second unit.

14. A module for a thermal power plant for condensing vapor steam and for cooling turbine waste water from turbine drainage, comprising:
a first unit which is designed to condense the vapor steam,
a second unit which is designed to cool the turbine waste water, wherein condensate produced in the first unit is passed to the second unit, and
an outlet in the first unit through which air, carried with the vapor steam into the first unit, is discharged after condensation of the vapor steam.

15. The module as claimed in claim 14 ,
wherein the air is discharged the atmosphere after condensation of the vapor steam.

16. A module for a thermal power plant for condensing vapor steam and for cooling turbine waste water from turbine drainage, comprising:
a first unit which is designed to condense the vapor steam,
a second unit which is designed to cool the turbine waste water, wherein condensate produced in the first unit is passed to the second unit,
a condensate line which serves to pass condensate from the first unit to the second unit, and
a steam trap in the condensate line.
