Abstract

An injection device for injecting injection fluid (chemicals) into piping through which fluid flows, the injection device comprising: an injection line through which the injection fluid flows, the injection line being connected to the piping; an injection pump disposed on the injection line; an extrusion line connected downstream of the injection pump and upstream of a target portion for air removal on the injection line; and an extrusion pump for feeding extrusion fluid to the extrusion line, wherein a discharge capacity of the extrusion pump is greater than a discharge capacity of the injection pump.

Claims (34)

1. An injection device for injecting injection fluid into piping through which fluid flows, the injection device comprising:

an injection line through which the injection fluid flows, the injection line being connected to the piping;

an injection pump disposed on the injection line;

an extrusion line connected downstream of the injection pump and upstream of a target portion for air removal on the injection line; and

an extrusion pump for feeding extrusion fluid to the extrusion line, wherein

a discharge capacity of the extrusion pump is greater than a discharge capacity of the injection pump, and

the target portion for air removal is a rising portion in a piping of the injection line.

2. The injection device according to claim 1 , wherein

a water pump for feeding fluid is disposed on the piping,

the extrusion line is connected downstream of the water pump disposed on the piping, and

the water pump also serves as the extrusion pump.

3. A steam turbine system comprising:

the injection device according to claim 2 ;

a boiler that generates steam;

a steam turbine that is driven by the steam;

a condenser that condenses the steam exhausted from the steam turbine to water; and

a feedwater line for passing the water generated at the condenser to the boiler, wherein the feedwater line is the piping.

4. The injection device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a cleaning line for passing cleaning fluid to the injection line; and

a cleaning pump for feeding cleaning fluid to the cleaning line, wherein

the cleaning line constitutes a portion of the extrusion line and is connected downstream of the injection pump and upstream of the target portion for air removal on the injection line, and

the cleaning pump also serves as the extrusion pump.

5. A steam turbine system comprising:

the injection device according to claim 4 ;

a boiler that generates steam;

a steam turbine that is driven by the steam;

a condenser that condenses the steam exhausted from the steam turbine to water; and

a feedwater line for passing the water generated at the condenser to the boiler, wherein the feedwater line is the piping.

6. A steam turbine system comprising:

the injection device according to claim 1 ;

a boiler that generates steam;

a steam turbine that is driven by the steam;

a condenser that condenses the steam exhausted from the steam turbine to water; and

a feedwater line for passing the water generated at the condenser to the boiler, wherein the feedwater line is the piping.
