Patent ID: 10413842

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a seawater desalination system which improves energy efficiency by applying a heated cooling water discharged from a nuclear power plant and high-temperature steam generated in a nuclear reactor to seawater desalination. A seawater desalination system related to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a steam supply pipe 40 which supplies heat exchange steam that is a part of the steam discharged from a turbine 20; a seawater supply pipe 36 which diverges from a discharge pipe 34; and a heat exchanger 50 which is connected to the steam supply pipe 40 so as to be supplied with the heat exchange steam, and connected to the seawater supply pipe 36 so as to be supplied with first seawater that is a part of the seawater discharged from a condenser 30, in which the heat exchanger 50 increases a water temperature of the first seawater by using heat included in the heat exchange steam, and the first seawater with the increased water temperature is supplied to the fresh water-generating unit 2 through a connection pipe 4, such that desalination of the first seawater is performed.
