Abstract:
An apparatus for the heating-up and degassing of oxygen-rich make-up water by means of steam in a power station plant comprising: a steam condenser having a casing wall, a second casing wall mounted on the steam condenser casing wall, the casing walls being spaced apart and forming a mixing chamber and a separation column, the mixing chamber being located above the separation column, the mixing chamber including a means for spraying oxygen-rich make-up water, a receiver positioned to collect water from the separation column and including a water outlet opening in fluid communication with an interior of the steam condenser, the steam condenser casing wall having a steam-inlet opening located between the receiver and the separation column through which steam-inlet opening steam flows into and through the separation column and into the mixing chamber due to a lower pressure prevailing in the mixing chamber relative to a pressure in an interior of the condenser, and the mixing chamber including a gas-outlet opening for drawing off an enriched steam.
