The all-steel structure indirect air-cooling system for the Yushen-Yuheng thermal power project has been successfully put into operation, marking a significant achievement for China’s chemical engineering technology and equipment. Your participation in discussions is the greatest encouragement**********************【Ten Years of Progress in Chemical Engineering Equipment】Regular updates and summaries are available; feel free to join the discussions: https://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-3576046-1-1.html *****************The air-cooling system of China’s first “five-tower integrated” indirect air-cooling thermal power project in Yushen-Yuheng has been successfully commissioned. On May 30th, Unit 1 of the 2×350MW cogeneration project owned by Yulin Energy Group, which was constructed under the overall supervision of China Energy Engineering Group Northwest Design Institute, completed its 168-hour trial operation successfully. All performance indicators were satisfactory, and the system operated stably and reliably, thus entering commercial operation. The Yushen-Yuheng 2×350MW cogeneration project of Yulin Energy Group is a new type of cogeneration project that integrates multiple energy sources such as wind, solar, thermal power, and storage. The project primarily involves the construction of two 350-megawatt supercritical cogeneration units, along with efficient desulfurization, denitrification, and dust removal facilities. It utilizes advanced supercritical coal-fired power generation technology, offering significant advantages such as high parameters, large capacity, low energy consumption, and low emissions. At the same time, the project adopted for the first time in China an indirect air-cooling scheme with a steel structure featuring \"five towers integrated together,\" which effectively addressed the challenges associated with integrating wind and solar power into the grid, improved the flexibility of thermal power units in operation, and ensured the safe, stable operation of the power system as well as reliable power supply.
The \"five-tower integration\" indirect air cooling technology is employed, whereby five functional units – the desulfurization tower, chimney, intercooling tower, etc. – are integrated into a single steel structure tower. The height of this steel tower is 187 meters, its diameter at the base is 133.5 meters, and its diameter at the outlet is 84 meters; it features a skin-mounted internal structure. This design overcomes the limitations of traditional concrete structures, saving more than 30% in land use and effectively reducing construction costs. At the same time, the layout of the cooling system was optimized to reduce coal and water consumption, improve the peak-shaving capacity of thermal power units, enhance grid stability, and facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid; this provides an integrated model for large-scale thermal power projects in cold regions. It’s also pretty nice to look at: lol
Yushen and Yuheng are the first places in China to feature a \"combination of five towers\"
