Horizontal partition plates 70 that partition the above-described distribution passages 33 and 33 s are provided in the passages 33 c and 33 sc (hereinafter referred to as non-separator side passages).

  The horizontal partition plate 70 is a plate-like member, and extends substantially parallel to the wall body 34 in the cross section as shown in FIG. The separator-side passages 33a and 33sa are in direct communication with the separators 40 and 40s through distribution holes 36 formed in the wall body 34 that defines the transverse section.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the horizontal partition plate 70 extends in the longitudinal direction, and the end 70 a on the inner side in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal partition plate 70 reaches the inlet passage 31 at the approximate center in the longitudinal direction, The longitudinally outer end 70c extends outward from the longitudinally outer inlet passage 31s. That is, the horizontal partition plate 70 extends from the distribution passage 33 (33a, 33c) on the inner side in the longitudinal direction to the distribution passage 33s (33sa, 33sc) on the outer side in the longitudinal direction across the plurality of distribution passages 33, 33s.

It flows into the separator passage 33sa that is further outward in the longitudinal direction. Then, it is distributed from the separator passage 33sa to the separator 40s on the outer side in the longitudinal direction through the distribution hole 36. The steam flowing into the inlet passage 31s from the steam inlet 14s on the outer side in the longitudinal direction is divided into the separator passage 33a on the inner side in the longitudinal direction and the non-separator passage 33c on the outer side in the longitudinal direction.

The through holes 72 are arranged over the entire surface of the horizontal partition plate 70B. As a result, a flow from a high pressure region to a low pressure region can be formed between the separator side passages 33a and 33sa and the corresponding non-separator side passages 33c and 33sc.

  Thereby, in the moisture separation heater 10E, the pressure in each separator side channel | path 33a, 33sa can be made more uniform compared with the case where the through-hole 72 is not provided. That is, the flow rate of the steam supplied from the separator side passage 33a to the separator 40 and the flow rate of the steam supplied from the separator side passage 33sa to the separator 40s can be made more uniform.

  The moisture separator / heater according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view taken along the section line through the separator and distribution passage of the moisture separator heater. 13 is a cross-sectional view taken along line YY in FIG. In addition, about the structure substantially common with Example 1, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the moisture separator / heater 10 </ b> F according to the present embodiment, the separator-side passage facing the distribution hole 36 that distributes the vapor flow to the separator 40, and the passage constituting the outside of the distribution passage 33f (hereinafter simply referred to as “outer passage”) is a non-separator-side passage that does not face the distribution hole 36, and a passage 33e (hereinafter referred to simply as “inner side”) that forms the side of the distribution passage having the heat transfer tube 52, that is, the inner side. A vertical partition plate 80 that partitions the distribution passages (33e, 33f) into the inside and the outside is provided in the passage. The vertical partition plate 80 is a plate-like member, and a through-hole 82 that allows the outer passage 33f and the inner passage 33e to communicate with each other is provided over the entire surface. Note that the vertical partition plate 80s on the outer side in the longitudinal direction is also configured in the same manner as the vertical partition plate 80 described above.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the vertical partition plates 80 and 80s are plate-like members extending in the longitudinal direction, and extend corresponding to the separators 40 and 40s, respectively. The vertical partition plate 80 extends along the separator 40 such that the end 80a on the inner side in the longitudinal direction reaches the inlet passage 31 and the end 80c on the outer side in the longitudinal direction reaches the inlet passage 31s on the outer side in the longitudinal direction. Similar to the vertical partition plate 80, the vertical partition plate 80s extends so that the end 80sa on the inner side in the longitudinal direction reaches the inlet passage 31s.

  In the moisture separator / heater 10F configured as described above, when the flow rate of the steam flowing in from the steam inlet 14 at the center in the longitudinal direction is larger than that of the steam inlet 14s at the outer side in the longitudinal direction, When the pressure in the inlet passage 31 is higher than that in the inlet passage 31s, the steam flowing into the inlet passage 31 is divided into the inner passage 33e and the outer passage 33f at the end 80a of the vertical partition plate 80, and the Can flow toward the outside in the direction. The steam flowing through the outer passage 33 f is distributed to the separator 40 through the distribution hole 36. A part of the steam flowing in the inner passage 33e flows into the outer passage 33f through the through hole 82, and the rest flows out in the longitudinal direction as it is and flows into the inlet passage 31s on the outer side in the longitudinal direction.

  On the other hand, when the pressure in the inlet passage 31s located on the outer side in the longitudinal direction is higher than that in the inlet passage 31 located substantially in the center in the longitudinal direction, the moisture separation heater 10F converts the steam flowing into the inlet passage 31s into the vertical partition. The plate 80 can be diverted at the end 80c on the outer side in the longitudinal direction and can flow toward the inner side in the longitudinal direction. The steam flowing through the outer passage 33 f is distributed to the separator 40 through the distribution hole 36. On the other hand, a part of the steam flowing through the inner passage 33e flows from the through hole 82 into the outer passage 33f, and the rest flows in the longitudinal direction as it is and flows into the inlet passage 31 at the substantially longitudinal center.

  As described above, also in the moisture separation heater 10F according to the present embodiment, the outer passage 33f that is the separator side passage facing the distribution hole 36 and the inner side that is the non-separator side passage not facing the distribution hole 36. By providing vertical partition plates 80 and 80s for partitioning the distribution passages (33f and 33e) in the passage 33e, steam is supplied from the outer passage 33f to the separator 40, and the inner passage 33e allows the inlet passage 31 and the inlet passage 31s. The steam flow can be guided from the high-pressure passage toward the low-pressure passage. Thereby, it can suppress that the flow volume of the vapor | steam supplied arises between the separator 40 which exists in a longitudinal direction inner side, and the separator 40s which exists in a longitudinal direction outer side.

  Further, in the moisture separator / heater 10F according to the present embodiment, the vertical partition plates 80, 80s are formed with the through holes 82 over the entire surface, so that the steam flowing through the inner passage 33e is reduced. The portion can flow from the through hole 82 to the outer passage 33f. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the uneven pressure distribution in the distribution passages (33f, 33e), and to suppress the uneven flow rate of the steam distributed to the separator 40.

  In the present embodiment, the vertical partition plates 80 and 80s are formed with the through holes 82 having a substantially circular cross section, but the form of the through holes is not limited thereto. It is only necessary that the inner passage 33e and the outer passage 33f can communicate with each other. For example, the through hole may be formed in a slit shape having a length in a predetermined direction. Moreover, it is good also as what comprises a cross section so that the steam flow which passes a through-hole may be restrict | squeezed.

  The moisture separator / heater according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XX in FIG. In addition, about the structure substantially common with Example 1, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the moisture separator / heater 10G according to the present embodiment, the steam inlet 15 has an inner diameter at the downstream end 15c in the direction of flow of steam, that is, an inner diameter at the upstream opening end 15a, that is, the steam inlet 15 Compared to the opening diameter (indicated by a dimension D1 in the figure), the pipe is configured as a so-called reducer having a diameter different from that of the pipe. The steam inlet 15 is configured such that the flow path cross-sectional area increases from the upstream end 15 a, that is, the opening, toward the downstream end 15 c, that is, the impact receiving body 20. As the steam flowing in from the upstream end 15a flows in the steam inlet 15 toward the downstream end 15c, the flow velocity decreases.

  Further, in the housing 12 constituting the exterior of the moisture separator / heater 10G, an impact receiving body 20 that splits the steam flow flowing from the steam inlet 15 into two flows is provided. The impact receiving body 20 is made of stainless steel (SUS) so as to suppress the occurrence of erosion. The impact receiving body 20 is provided in the transverse cross section of the moisture separation heater 10G so as to be curved in a substantially U shape having a bottom 20c on the steam inlet 15 side, and defines the longitudinal section of the moisture separation heater 10G. It is comprised by the shape symmetrical with respect to the virtual plane (it shows with the dashed-dotted line B in a figure).

  The impact receiving body 20 is bent over 90 degrees or more from the U-shaped bottom 20c to the end 20e with respect to the center of curvature of the curved shape (indicated by a point G in the drawing) as indicated by an angle θ in the drawing. It is configured to The receiving body 20 configured as described above has an interval between the inner surface of the housing 12, that is, an interval between the inlet passages 31 formed with the housing 12 (indicated by a dimension D <b> 2 in the drawing) upstream of the steam inlet 15. It is disposed so as to be substantially equal to the inner diameter D1 of the side end 15a.

  Thus, in the moisture separator / heater 10G according to the present embodiment, the steam inlet 15 is set such that the inner diameter of the downstream end 15c is larger than the upstream end 15c, that is, the inner diameter (D1) of the opening. Therefore, the steam flow flowing in from the upstream end 15a can be decelerated in the steam inlet 15 and flow out from the downstream end 15c toward the impact receiving body 20. By reducing the steam flow flowing through the inlet passage 31 between the impact receiving body 20 and the housing 12, it is possible to suppress the formation of a vortex due to the separation of the steam flow at the impact receiving body 20, particularly the end 20e. Thus, an increase in pressure loss due to the generation of vortex flow can be suppressed.

  In the moisture separation heater 10G according to the present embodiment, the impact receiving body 20 is configured to bend over 90 degrees with respect to the center G of curvature from the U-shaped bottom 20c to the end 20e. By making it, it can suppress that a vapor flow peels in the end 20e of the receiving body 20, and a vortex | eddy_current produces.

  Further, in the moisture separation heater 10G according to the present embodiment, the distance D2 between the housing 12 and the impact receiving body 20 is configured to be substantially the same as the opening diameter D1 of the steam inlet 15, In the steam flow that flows into the steam inlet 15 and flows between the impact receiving body 20 and the housing 12, it is possible to prevent the steam flow from being separated or swirled due to a sudden change in the cross-sectional area of the flow path. it can.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the rectifying member that rectifies the vapor flow in the distribution passage is the porous plate 60; 60B, the throttle member 66; 66B, the horizontal partition plate 70; 70B, or the vertical partition plate 80; 80s. It is not limited to. Various flow-shaped structural members can be used as long as flow resistance can be imparted to the steam flow in the distribution passage and rectification can be performed.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the plurality of steam inlets are the steam inlet 14 at the approximate center in the longitudinal direction and the two steam inlets 14s at the outer side in the longitudinal direction. However, the embodiment is not limited to this. The present invention can be applied as long as a plurality of steam inlets are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the moisture separator heater.
