The role of boiler feed pump in thermal power plant
In the operation of thermal power plant, boiler feed pump plays a crucial role. Its core task is to extract and treat water, and then the treated water is stably transported to the turbine boiler system to ensure the continuity and efficiency of steam generation. In short, the boiler feed pump is an indispensable water supplier in the power generation process.
In the operation process of the boiler feed pump, the water first flows into the pump body through the inlet pipe, and then under the strong drive of the pump impeller, the water is accelerated and compressed, and finally transported to the boiler through the outlet pipe. In order to prevent cavitation in the pump body and ensure the efficient and stable operation of the pump, the feed pump is usually equipped with a special exhaust system for completely removing air.
In the operation of the power plant, the importance of the boiler feed pump is self-evident. First, it ensures the stable operation of the boiler system and meets the water needs of the boiler by providing a continuous source of water. Secondly, the feed pump also plays a key role in improving the power generation efficiency of the power plant. The water it provides can effectively reduce the temperature of the water on the boiler, thereby reducing the burden of the turbine and improving the overall power generation efficiency of the power plant. Finally, the stable operation of the boiler feed pump also ensures the continuity of power production and avoids the risk of stopping production due to insufficient water sources.
Therefore, for the power plant, the maintenance and maintenance of the boiler feed pump is very important. Regular inspection, repair and maintenance can ensure the stable operation of the feed pump, extend its service life, reduce the failure rate, so as to ensure the stable operation of the power plant and efficient power generation.
