Self-Flushing Debris Filter
The quality of the cooling water intake and the amount of debris in that water affects
the operation and performance of the condenser and therefore the thermal
performance of the typical steam plant.

Material such as slime, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, magnesium dioxide, silt,
petroleum products, corrosion products, and the like adhere to the inside of the heat
exchanger and condenser tubes. The accumulation and growth of such deposits
reduce the overall heat transfer coefficient and will have an adverse effect on the
operation of process equipment, plant availability, production, and maintenance cost.

Traditionally, plant maintenance teams isolate and open each heat exchanger or
condenser unit periodically in order to clean the tubes manually using high-pressure
water jets or mechanical scrapers. This process is labor-intensive, costly, and may
require process shutdown. Furthermore, when the equipment returns back to
operation, the fouling process begins anew.

there is an online method to clean the heat exchanger or condenser , it is DEBRIS

FILTER

Self-Flushing Debris Filter

Khaled Hamza
The debris filter is the ultimate protection for condenser tubes, it is designed to
automatically separate and remove fibrous and coarse debris from the cooling water
during operation of the cooling system. In order to protect the condenser not only
from unwanted particles flushed into the cooling system by the cooling water, but also
from particles originating from the cooling water intake channel or pipes themselves,
the debris filter should be located as close as practical to the CONDENSER INLET .

Since the debris filter is the last protection in-line of the screening systems in front of
the condenser, particular care has been taken to ensure high reliability, availability and
performance as well as low maintenance.

Power Station Technology

CEPC

Fixed, semi-spherical shaped filter elements separate the filter area into several
CEPC
independent filter chambers, and consequently no debris can bypass the filter
elements. A hood-shaped backwash rotor, located at the raw water side, always
covers one filter chamber completely, while a special engineered gear box actuates
and rotates the backwash rotor from the clean water side of the filter. The backwash
process is automatically initiated by a pressure differential measuring system which
monitors debris accumulation permanently.

Not only can the backwash process be triggered automatically by the pressure
differential measuring system, the backwash sequence can also be started manually
from the local control cabinet.
