Cooling equipment, combined cycle plant comprising same, and cooling method

1. Cooling equipment comprising:

a refrigerant supply line configured to supply condenser refrigerant to a condenser, the condenser refrigerant cooling steam that has driven a steam turbine, thereby returning the steam to water; and

a cooling part provided on the refrigerant supply line and operable to perform heat exchange between liquefied gas, which is used as fuel for a gas turbine, and the condenser refrigerant, thereby heating and vaporizing the liquefied gas and cooling the condenser refrigerant,

wherein seawater is used as the condenser refrigerant, and the seawater is discharged to sea after the seawater has cooled the steam,

wherein the refrigerant supply line includes:

a refrigerant supply line main body provided with the cooling part in the middle thereof, the refrigerant supply line main body having an inlet through which the seawater is supplied to the cooling part and an outlet through which the seawater is discharged to the sea, and

a supply bypass line connected to the refrigerant supply line main body by bypassing the cooling part, the supply bypass line being provided with a supply bypass valve for adjusting a flow rate of the seawater,

wherein a first end of the supply bypass line is connected to the refrigerant supply main body between the cooling part and the inlet of the refrigerant supply line main body, and a second end of the supply bypass line is connected to the refrigerant supply main body between the cooling part and the condenser, such that an upstream side of the cooling part and a downstream side of the cooling part are connected by the supply bypass line.

2. A combined cycle plant comprising:

the cooling equipment of the gas turbine, according to claim 1 ;

the gas turbine;

a heat recovery steam generator which generates steam by flue gas which is discharged from the gas turbine;

the steam turbine which is driven by the steam generated in the heat recovery steam generator; and

the condenser.

3. A cooling method comprising:

supplying a condenser refrigerant to a condenser via a refrigerant supply line main body, the condenser refrigerant cooling steam that has driven a steam turbine, thereby returning the steam to water; and

before the supplying of the condenser refrigerant, cooling the condenser refrigerant by performing heat exchange between liquefied gas, which is used as fuel for a gas turbine, and the condenser refrigerant, thereby heating and vaporizing the liquefied gas and cooling the condenser refrigerant,

wherein in the cooling of the condenser refrigerant, seawater is used as the condenser refrigerant, and the seawater is discharged to sea after the seawater has cooled the steam,

wherein the supplying of the condenser refrigerant further includes the seawater bypassing a cooling part that is configured to perform heat exchange between the liquefied gas and the seawater,

wherein the refrigerant supply line main body has an inlet through which the seawater is supplied to the cooling part and an outlet through which the seawater is discharged to the sea, and

wherein the bypassing of the cooling part includes adjusting a flow rate of the seawater that is supplied to the condenser by a supply bypass line in which a first end of the supply bypass line is connected to the refrigerant supply line main body between the cooling part and the inlet of the refrigerant supply line main body, and a second end of the supply bypass line is connected to the refrigerant supply line main body between the cooling part and the condenser.
