Lotus in power generation

The period of financial instability for the energy sector was reflected in a sharp decrease in the market's demand for electricity. For some generating companies, electricity consumption decreased by almost 2 times. But amid the fact that the energy consumption in our country has decreased, the consumption of thermal energy has changed slightly. Moreover, throughout the country, albeit at a slower pace, the construction of new housing and new production facilities continues, and the power engineers are faced with new and new tasks, and sometimes even demands to ensure a high-quality supply of thermal energy for heating and hot water supply.

All these tasks are, as a rule, individual in nature, and cannot always be qualitatively solved on the basis of unified steam-water heaters: high-pressure heaters (PV, PVD), low-pressure heaters (APG, PN), network water heaters (PSV), steam-water heaters heating networks (PP). And it has long been clear that the operational services of energy facilities are ready for change in their work. They really want to have reliable modern heat-exchange equipment, which is designed specifically for their technical tasks, including providing a wide range of heat load control and the completeness of heat consumption of heating steam, deep, but temperature-controlled, condensate cooling and ease of binding of heat exchangers, habituality design and tradition of equipment maintenance.

All of the above requirements are combined in the Lotus intensive heat-exchange equipment, designed for specific heat engineering tasks. These solutions have various design features that ensure the stable operation of steam-water heaters.

Operation of Lotus steam intensive heat exchangers supplied to our Customers has a number of practical advantages:

• The high-speed screw movement of the vapor-condensate mixture, designed to actually implement the process of artificial droplet condensation (ICC), eliminated the effect of non-condensable gases on the heat transfer rate, since they ceased to accumulate in the annulus and were forcibly removed from the apparatus along with the condensate, realizing the model of complete displacement;
• The helical organization of saturated steam movement along the annulus provided absolute structural stability, eliminating vibrations and hydraulic shocks in the helical cavity of the Lotus shell and tube (shell and tube) heat exchangers;
• The predetermined high-speed movement of the vapor-condensate mixture over a varying cross section in the apparatus ensures complete steam condensation and deep condensate cooling, as well as forced condensate removal from the heaters, and makes it possible in practice to abandon complex and bulky condensate drain systems and level gauges;
• Technical solutions for organizing the input group of vaporous media in the Lotus heat exchangers provide high steam speed, and at the same time, effectively protect the heat transfer pipes from possible outages, which allows the use of Lotus shell and tube apparatus for working with steam of any pressure. In some cases, this makes it possible to exclude expensive and “capricious” DOCs from the scheme.
