Abstract
A heating system for a thermal electric power station water circuit includes an extraction system for extracting water from a condenser and a first set of heaters including a first water inlet fed with a first fraction of a flow coming from the extraction system, and a input for heating the extracted water. A second set of heaters includes a heater arranged in series with the extracted-water inlet of the first set, and a steam input for heating the extracted water. A condensate cooler includes a first water inlet fed by a condensate outlet of the second set of heaters, a second water inlet fed with a complementary fraction of the extracted-water flow, a first outlet for cooled condensate to be reinjected into the condenser, and a second outlet for heated water so that water leaving the first set of heaters is mixable with water from the second outlet.
