Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for reheating turbine steam, comprising a reheater and a condensate collecting tank, into which condensate is guided from the reheater. A subcooler is provided upstream of the reheater in a common housing with the reheater. The subcooler is arranged beneath the reheater and the condensate collecting tank is connected with the subcooler in order to supply condensate from the condensate collecting tank as heating medium.
Claims7
An apparatus for reheating turbine steam, comprising a reheater and a condensate collecting tank into which condensate is guided from the reheater, characterized in that a condensate subcooler is provided upstream of the reheater in a common housing with the reheater, that the condensate subcooler is connected with the condensate collecting tank in order to use the condensate from the condensate collecting tank for preheating the turbine steam, that the subcooler is arranged beneath the reheater, and that the geodetic height in the condensate collecting tank is used for the flow through the subcooler.
