Flowincreasing retrofit of circulating water pumps for 300 MW generating units in Zhujiang Power Plant ZAN Yuming (Shenzhen Kingon(Group)Co.,Ltd.,Shenzhen,Guangdong 518040,China) Abstract:In view of the insufficient water supply and blade intensity of the circulating water pumps in Zhujiang Power Plant,the circulation water pumps were retrofitted with the aim of increasing flow and saving energy.Without changing the original motor,pump case and pipes,etc,the blade angle was increased by 3 degrees counterclockwise;the blade moulding surface was modified suitably;the combined type impeller was changed to monoblock cast impeller,and the manufacturing procedures for the impeller optimized.All these measures enhance the blade intensity and increase the flow of the circulating pumps,thus improving the economic efficiency and the reliability of the plant with significant economic benefit obtained.
