Abstract Deaerator is an important equipment of thermal power plant,which ensures the quality of boiler feedwater,especially ensures the oxygen content in feedwater to satisfy the requirement of equipment operation.But as a result of various reasons,a lot of deaerators fail to guarantee the qualitied deaeration effect,leading to corrosion damage of system,thus seriously influencing the life and safe operation of equipment.To retrofit these deaerators is a task of top priority.The retrofit scheme of internal parts of deaerator put forward in the paper can effectively solve the“exceeding standard" problem of oxygen in water,and bring about significant economic benefit for power plant.
