Enhancing Operational Reliability with DST Dryer’s Dehumidification Solutions for Hydroelectric Power Stations

Hydroelectric power stations handle substantial volumes of water, making moisture control crucial to preventing damage to machinery and control systems caused by condensation. DST Dryer offers advanced dehumidification solutions tailored to the unique requirements of hydroelectric facilities, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.

Areas Requiring Drying in Hydroelectric Power Stations

Hydroelectric power stations benefit from targeted drying solutions during shutdowns to protect critical components:

  • Generator: Keeping windings dry is essential to prevent corrosion and reduce startup times. DST’s dry air systems supplement generator heaters effectively, maintaining optimal conditions for operational readiness.

  • Condenser: After flushing, condensers must remain dry to facilitate the recoating of water boxes and tube plates, ensuring efficiency and longevity.

  • Reheater: Thin tubes in reheaters are susceptible to corrosion. DST’s dehumidification technology minimizes intergranular attacks on stainless steel, enhancing component durability.

  • Feed and Condensate Pipes: Internal corrosion in feed and condensate pipes can lead to oxides contaminating feedwater. DST’s solutions eliminate moisture, safeguarding against corrosion and preserving water quality.

  • Boiler: Fireside boiler tubing experiences condensation as surface temperatures drop below dew points. DST’s dehumidifiers prevent acidic solutions from forming due to sulphurous ash deposits, mitigating rapid metal surface degradation.

  • Reactor Vessel: Dry air is crucial for purging CO2, preventing corrosion, and drying graphite before refilling with CO2 in reactor vessels, ensuring operational safety and longevity.
