Product Description
Backpressure steam turbine
is a type of steam turbine where the exhaust steam pressure is intentionally maintained above atmospheric pressure. Unlike condensing turbines (which exhaust steam at low pressure into a condenser), backpressure turbines discharge steam at a higher pressure, allowing the exhaust steam to be reused for process heating or district heating purposes. This design makes them highly efficient in combined heat and power (CHP) systems.
Working Principle of Back Pressure Turbines
A back pressure turbine is a type of steam turbine where the exhaust steam exits at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure, rather than being condensed. The core principle involves:
- Steam Energy Conversion: High-pressure steam from a boiler enters the turbine, expanding through blades to convert thermal energy into rotational mechanical energy.
- Non-Condensing Exhaust: Instead of releasing steam to a condenser, the turbine discharges steam at a specified back pressure (e.g., 0.3-1.5 MPa), which is then used for industrial process heating, district heating, or other thermal applications.
- Direct Energy Utilization: The turbine's output shaft powers generators or mechanical equipment (e.g., pumps, compressors), while the exhaust steam provides useful heat, creating a combined power and heat system.
Key Advantages of Back Pressure Turbines
-
High Energy Efficiency
- Convert steam energy into both mechanical power and usable heat, minimizing energy loss (unlike condensing turbines that reject heat to the environment).
- Achieve overall energy efficiency up to 80-90%, compared to 30-40% for typical condensing power plants.
-
Simple System Design
- Eliminate the need for condensers, cooling systems, and related auxiliary equipment, reducing capital costs and maintenance requirements.
- Compact structure with fewer components, suitable for space-constrained installations.
-
Flexible Heat-Power Integration
- Tailor exhaust steam pressure to match specific process heat demands (e.g., drying, distillation, heating networks).
- Ideal for industries requiring simultaneous power and thermal energy (e.g., refineries, chemical plants, sugar mills).
-
Cost-Effective Operation
- Lower water consumption (no condenser cooling water needed), reducing water treatment and disposal costs.
- Efficient use of fuel (e.g., coal, natural gas) as both energy forms are utilized, lowering operational expenses.
-
Reliable and Low Maintenance
- Fewer moving parts and simpler systems lead to higher reliability and longer service life.
- Reduced maintenance needs for condensers, cooling towers, and related components.
-
Environmental Benefits
- Lower greenhouse gas emissions per unit of energy produced due to higher fuel utilization.
- Minimize water pollution from cooling system discharges, as no condenser is required.
YTS's Technical Advantages
1. The multi-stage impulse steam turbine has 2 to 4 more pressure stages than that of other manufacturers. The stage distance is reduced to allocate more stages in the flow part, the enthalpy drop of each stage is reduced. The diameter of flow structure is reduced, thus the blade height loss is significantly reduced. This technology was selected and listed in 2019 National Recommended Catalogue, Guideline and Cases of Industrial Energy-Saving Technologies and Equipments, released by Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
2. Monolithic forged rotor assembly adopts whole forging method and it's a rigid rotor. The integration of the impeller and the shaft increases the safety and stability of operation. The blade profile is optimized and the partition is synchronously matched.
3. Reduce the rotor diameter and increase the blade length, compress various contact gaps to reduce steam leakage and make the steam act to the maximum extent, thereby to achieve high efficiency and more electricity generation under the same working conditions.
4. Add a sleeve cylinder, usually in casting or forging type, reinforced with a partition sleeve, and works with the newly added pressure stage and partition to increase the working air tightness of the new pressure stage, reduce air leakage and enhance operation safety, thus improve the working capacity of the unit;
5. Increase the length and quantity of comb-teeth steam seal from original 36 teeth to 45 teeth, and the tooth height is also increased, which effectively reduces steam leakage;
6. Comparing with similar steam extraction back pressure units from domestic market, it can improve efficiency by 10% to 30%, reduce the unit dimension and occupy less space at the same time. The optimization of the flow structure enables the unit to produce more power under the same working conditions, thus generate energy-saving economic benefits.
