Reforming the Exhaust Passage of Low-pressure Cylinder for 330MW Steam Turbine

In concern of the velocity distribution of the exhaust passage of 330MW turbine is not uniform, which results in higher the upper temperature difference of the condenser and higher exhaust pressure. It is introduced in this article that based on mathematical simulation, steam-equalizing equipment is augmented at the exhaust area of the condenser which makes the decrease in the steam resistance, much more uniform velocity distribution, and the increase of the heat transfer coefficient. By comparison of the condenser performance test before the amending and after, the result shows that after the amending, the upper temperature difference of the condenser and the exhaust pressure decreases dramatically.
