る。2. Description of the Related Art In a thermal power plant in which a generator is driven by a steam turbine to generate electricity, the output of the steam turbine is proportional to the difference between the inlet steam pressure and the exhaust pressure. Therefore, the exhaust gas of the steam turbine is usually condensed by a condenser to reduce the pressure. In thermal power plants installed near seaside areas or near large rivers, a large amount of cooling water can be obtained, so many water-cooled condensers are installed. However, air-cooled condensers are used in thermal power plants installed in areas where such abundant cooling water cannot be obtained. In this air-cooled condenser, a core is constituted by a number of tubes through which exhaust gas flows and a number of fins fixed to the outer surface thereof, and a fan for sending cooling air to the core is provided. FIG. 2 is a process flow diagram showing a thermal power generator using a condensing device using a conventional air-cooled condenser. The high-pressure steam generated in the boiler 1 is introduced into a high-pressure turbine 3 by a high-pressure steam pipe 2, and the low-pressure steam discharged therefrom is introduced into a low-pressure turbine 5 by a low-pressure steam pipe 4. Exhaust gas from the low-pressure turbine 5 is introduced into an air-cooled condenser 7 through an exhaust pipe 6, where it is cooled and condensed by outside air, condensed, and returned to the boiler 1 from the water supply pipe 8 again.

題とするものである。Generally, a water-cooled condenser has a stable cooling water temperature, so that even if the outside air temperature changes due to seasonal changes or weather fluctuations, the cooling capacity is hardly affected. . However, since the air-cooled condenser uses the heat exchange effect by contact between the radiator tube and the outside air, the cooling capacity fluctuates due to changes in the outside air temperature, especially in summer when the outside air temperature is high, etc. A phenomenon occurs in which the degree of vacuum in the condenser decreases. Despite the high demand for power generation in summer, when the degree of vacuum of the air-cooled condenser decreases in this way,
The work of expanding steam in the steam turbine (the low-pressure turbine 5 in the example of FIG. 2) is reduced, and the output is reduced. Steam tar
In order to maintain the rated output of the bin, it is necessary to increase the amount of steam from the boiler, in which case the overall efficiency of the power plant decreases. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve such a problem in a condenser provided with an air-cooled condenser.

FIG. 1 is a process flow chart showing a thermal power generator using the condensing device of the present invention, and the same parts as those in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals. In the present invention, a water sprinkling means 9 is provided in an exhaust pipe 6 for introducing exhaust gas discharged from the low-pressure turbine 5 into an air-cooled condenser 7. The water spraying means 9 includes a water spray nozzle 10 for spraying cooling water to an outer peripheral portion of the exhaust pipe 6 having a predetermined length, a cooling water pipe 11 for supplying cooling water to the water spray nozzle 10, and a supply pump 1 provided in the cooling water pipe 11.
2 and a control valve 13 and a water tank 14 for storing cooling water. The exhaust pipe 6 has, for example, a diameter of 1
It is about 60 m long and about 16 m to 20 m long. Therefore, preferably, the watering nozzle 10 is installed so as to spray water as uniformly as possible over the entire circumference of the large exhaust pipe 6. Further, a cooling water collecting facility is provided below the exhaust pipe 6, and the collected cooling water is cooled by a cooling device such as a cooling tower having a relatively small capacity, and then returned to the water tank 14, thereby circulating the cooling water. You may do so.

な2段階制御方式を採用することもできる。The control valve 13 is controlled by a temperature controller 16 which outputs a control signal corresponding to a temperature signal from a temperature detector 15 for detecting the outside air temperature. That is, when the outside air temperature rises above the set value, the temperature controller 16
Increases, the opening of the control valve 13 increases, the amount of cooling increases, and conversely, when the outside air temperature falls below a set value, the output of the temperature controller 16 decreases in proportion thereto. The degree of cooling is reduced by decreasing the opening of the thirteen. As another method, a temperature switch that is activated when the outside air temperature exceeds a set temperature is provided, and when the temperature switch is activated, the regulating valve 13 is opened to start cooling by the water sprinkling means 9 or when the temperature switch is activated, It is also possible to adopt a two-stage control system in which the opening is switched from the opening to the high opening to increase the cooling by the water sprinkling means 9.

る。[0007] Instead of using the temperature controller 16 as described above, a vacuum controller may be used. That is, the degree of vacuum in the air-cooled condenser 7 is detected by the vacuum detector, and the degree of vacuum controller controls the regulating valve 13 so that the detected value becomes a preset degree of vacuum. The same control may be performed by detecting the pressure of the exhaust pipe 6 instead of the degree of vacuum. As still another method, the control valve 13
Is a manually operated valve, and the cooling amount by the water sprinkling means 9 can be changed at any time according to the value of the outside air temperature. Such a configuration is suitable for a case where the outside air temperature fluctuates only relatively slowly, and has an advantage that the apparatus is simplified.

Is what you do. As a result, when the outside air temperature rises and the cooling capacity of the air-cooled condenser decreases, the decrease can be compensated for by the cooling action of the water spray means. Therefore, even if the outside air temperature rises, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the degree of vacuum of the air-cooled condenser and to avoid a decrease in the output of the steam turbine. Further, since the latent heat of evaporation when a part of the water evaporates can be used in addition to the cooling effect of the water, the exhaust gas can be efficiently cooled with less cooling water. Further, the amount of cooling water used in the water spraying means may be extremely small as compared with the cooling water in the water-cooled condenser, and can be easily installed even in an area where a large amount of cooling water cannot be obtained. Moreover, since the amount of cooling water is small, the cooling water can be cooled by a cooling device such as a cooling tower having a relatively small capacity, and the cooling water can be circulated.

Or the cooling amount is increased. Thereby, the degree of vacuum of the air-cooled condenser can be stabilized, and the output fluctuation of the steam turbine can be further reduced.
