Gland condenser skid systems by shell and plates technology
The disclosure concerns a gland condenser skid system for thermodynamic machine, namely a steam turbine, the gland condenser skid system comprising a shell and plates heat exchanger as gland condenser ( 10 ), said shell and plates heat exchanger being formed of gasket-free welded tube sheets.
1 . A gland condenser skid system, comprising:
a shell and plates heat exchanger, the shell and plates heat exchanger comprising a shell and plates disposed therein, the plates arranged in a stack forming a first flow path and a second flow path, wherein the plates are welded to separate flow in the first flow path from flow in the second flow path without gaskets;
an evacuation system; and
a tank connected downstream of the shell and plates heat exchanger, the tank comprising a top and a bottom,
wherein the top of the tank is connected to the evacuation system.
2 . The system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a fan, wherein the top of the tank is connected to the evacuation system by the fan.
3 . The system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a steam ejector, wherein the top of the tank is connected to the evacuation system by the steam ejector.
4 . The system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a condensate outlet, wherein the bottom of the tank is connected to the condensate outlet.
5 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the shell comprises a top and a bottom, both having an opening.
6 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the shell comprises a cylinder with elongate sides and opposing openings disposed in the sides.
7 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the shell comprises a cylinder with elongate sides, a top, a bottom, and opposing openings disposed in the top and the bottom.
8 . The system according to claim 1 , wherein the shell comprises a cylinder with elongate sides, a top, a bottom, and opposing openings disposed in the top and the bottom, and the sides.
9 . A steam turbine comprising the gland condenser skid system of claim 1 .
10 . A engine generator comprising the gland condenser skid system of claim 1 .
11 . A mechanical drive station comprising the gland condenser skid system of claim 1 .
